βA scientist can pretend that his work isnβt himself, itβs merely the impersonal truth. An artist canβt hide behind the truth. He canβt hide anywhere.β

"You're going to have to get comfortable. These things don't have a learning curve, they have a cliff." One swipe brought a wrench into his metallic clutches, the chrome vanadium steel crumpling like so much tin in his grip.
She knew that. Better than he could, he was sure, but he still felt the need to bare his teeth. He couldn't be trusted with that kind of faith anymore, and it hurt to be reminded. It hurt even more to have it entrusted to him anyway.
He set the crumpled wrench on the console gingerly. "But you don't have to do anything about it now. Surviving childhood is hard enough."
"Ah! My heart can't take it!" Otto gave a cry and pinned one hand to his chest, crumpling onto the control panel behind him.
His lowered head raised again to face her, lips pulled back just enough to betray his smirk, which vanished as soon as it appeared. "Truly, your faith in humanity is too much for me."

"'Read the room!' he says. Sir. This room is illegible, and you are the least illuminated manuscript I've ever seen. I may as well read you by the light of the abyss."

Tax season is almost over (see: April 18th) and I'm really feeling Otto so. Uh. Lms for a starter after the deadline.

A lie
