(THWUMP)
Bianca: Hey! What are you doing? Stop! He can’t hit ba–
–oh.
Poe: Please don’t think this is personal. Like I said, you seem nice.
But your Being has made my Master sad. And I can’t let him think that’s okay.
Bianca: We didn’t accept the challenge!
Poe: Which is why we haven’t entered a magical battle.
I can still slug him. And he can still hit back — if you let him.
Okay Bianca, time to tell Patrick he has the right to defend himself.
Come on patrick, fight back!!!
Anyone else very suspicious about all this?
Actually, Bianca should use a bear hug on Poe. Beings can’t hurt people, right? So, go for operation human shield, and run.
Bianca can also threaten Miranda – Poe will probably have to stop if continuing an action means his master comes to harm. The second half of the First Law of Robotics (“through inaction allow to be harmed”). Don’t know if that would work, but now’s a great time to find out.
Also, not sure if Bianca knows the full extent of the “Beings can’t hurt people” rule yet. This could be where she discovers it.
Cheap trick, Miranda. I get annoyed when one coerces another to do things.
I find it a bit surreal that Poe just totally clocked Patrick, and yet is standing there with a smile on his face explaining the whole situation.
