(Good thing the explanation was saved; all it might've gotten Dakki was a mew of confusion. It's no offense to Dakki, but Chen's not exactly smart enough to understand that level of technology.)

So the town and everyone running it must love toying with all of us. Even if it has its way and gives us back tiny bits of ourselves to drive people insane, it'll all add up, won't it? Playing the town's game at least shows you have the need to break out; it wants people to give up and get brainwashed permanently.

I'll be fighting this town as much as I can, but it'll be easier if we all keep fighting it. Besides, you're probably stronger than I am; I can't handle drones or cook near as well as you can. It's times like these when everyone has to pull together, right?

(Though this is much more explaining and speaking than she's accustomed to, the ear scratching manages to keep her relaxed and speak so freely. All the while, she'll be nuzzling Dakki's hand and leaning against her chest, so it's not easy to say that this speech of hers is completely serious. Still, she means every word of it.)
