In one of the more unusual cases heard by Federal courts, a companion drone has filed for divorce from her husband!

Incredible!

The drone alleges unreasonable behaviour by her husband, and claims that her requirement for repairs and maintenance is substantially higher than that of similar companion drones.

The husband's legal team stated that "These claims are without merit, and we shall prove them wrong, using statistics."

Amazing!

The drone and her husband had been married for 2 years, according to paperwork filed in the courts, and were married on one of the outer space colonies in the Gallente Prime system.

These colonies are allowed to set their own laws, as long as they do not conflict with Federal Law, leading to a diverse system within the Federation as a whole.

A Federation Senator had this to say "While space colonies may set their own laws, sometimes they shouldn't."

Controversial!

Companion drones are a common sight in some parts of the Federation, although some jurisdictions place limits on their appearance, so that they can be identified from actual humans.

>.>

You go gurl!

Don't settle for anything less than half of everything.

And people wonder why we think the Gallente are wierd. I don't see any reason the Drone should be entitled to anything, It didn't make the fortune, it is just machine made to make our lives better. So if i own a ship and marry it, and then get paid in anti matter charges, does the ship have rights of my ammo?

The Federation - where you can be delivered by a midwife drone, cared for by a childminder drone, tutored by a teacher drone, exercised by a training drone, fed by a chef drone, transported by a drone vehicle, cared for by an AIMED and nurse drones, buried by an undertaker drone and, apparently, marry a wife drone. One wonders if households will ever enjoy the patter of tiny drone feet.

And some of them call US cold and impersonal...

The drone didn't come with a pre-nuptual warranty?

Reprocessing could be an easy solution to this problem, if it is one.

I understand that his mother in law was quite the Hobgoblin herself.

Some people like a companion you can program? Weird, but true.



Not possible, but makes a great sitcom premise, mind if I copyright that?



Oh good, I thought you were slipping for a while there.



So, you get to be a custom corporate drone yourself?

I'm just wondering if someone made a whoopsie and put the genetic material of a psychotic hobo in your mix...

I read quite well without them, thank you.

Okay, sorry about the tube crack. If you were born as a tube child, then no big deal. Hell, I was reborn through the recombinant process and infusion of DNA and RNA from my predecessor, just like several times before.

So, in that case, we were both born and shaped through somewhat controlled and artificial processes, it is what it is and we are who we are.

Thing with me, though, is that my DNA has been altered and contaminated by a targeted bioweapon, call it a parting gift....But that's another story.

Anyway, It only made me blind, as evidenced by these bionic baby blues that Scherezad developed for me on contract to replace my old and useless peepers, which sucks because every new clone has to be prefitted with them, but it will kill an embryo modified with it.

So, in a nutshell, I can never be reborn again, not by that method anyway.

But hey, I gave you some free insult ammo, so have a party.
