Gunn, Sheila, Trailblazer

**Being Human 101** is a Daily Mission in the Herta Space Station.

## Steps

1. Talk to Gunn and become a "Distinguished Teacher"
2. Talk to Sheila and teach her how to act human
3. Report the result of today's lesson to Gunn

Gunn, the founder of the Department of Galactic Geopolitics, comes to you. He wants you to teach a special student, and you're going to teach her some unique lessons... Master Control Zone

(Talk to Gunn)
(If doing the quest for the first time)
 I heard you have something to tell me...
**Gunn:** Yes, you are right. Some things are better left to a youngster like you.
**Gunn:** You see, I'd like you to be a teacher for an android. Teach her about life and how to handle her relationship with others.
 You're more learned about these. Why not teach her yourself?
**Gunn:** I did, but the result was not ideal. Although Prototype 157 I made earlier had independent thinking capability to a certain degree, I couldn't answer her questions about our world.
**Gunn:** I can teach her theories, but the world is ever-changing. There are things that only you young people can keep up with.
 The space station is teeming with young people.
**Gunn:** Not everyone is willing to deal with an android. Besides... They are only willing to teach her things related to scientific research. When it comes to teaching her facts of life, you are a better candidate than them.
**Gunn:** I've heard of your deeds in the space station. In my opinion, you're among the best of us.
**Gunn:** And I just made Prototype 159... Although I have limited her capacity to think independently, she learns better and faster than most.
**Gunn:** Without a "decent person" to show her the way and shape her personality to be in line with human moral standards, I dare not let her delve into advanced theories... If she develops any deviant thoughts, the consequences could be unimaginable.
 Aren't you worried I might lead her astray?
**Gunn:** No, I have confidence in you. Besides, I am just asking you to show her what our daily life is like. Things like entertainment and hobbies. I don't think there will be any big problems.
 I don't know what I can teach her...
**Gunn:** Simple. Tell her about the foods and drinks you like, or what you do when you have spare time. She'll turn these into her own knowledge.
**Gunn:** Tell her what kind of person she should be, things to do for fun, what we do every day... Tell her all you know and she'll pick them up one by one.
**Gunn:** As for the specifics about the teaching plan, it's totally up to you.
(If repeating the quest)
 Do you still need me to teach Sheila today?
**Gunn:** Judging from Sheila's performance yesterday, I don't think it was good enough. Of course, I appreciate your hard work...
**Gunn:** But she is an android after all. I don't want to see her go astray and do anything harmful to human beings.
**Gunn:** I reset her memory from yesterday... Today she is a blank slate. What she will learn today is up to you.
**Gunn:** Please continue to be her teacher today and tell her a bit more about how to navigate our world.

### Talk to Sheila and teach her how to act human

 **Mission Description**

Your student, Sheila, is an android, and you're going to teach her how to act like a human. Master Control Zone

(Talk to Sheila)
 Gunn made me your teacher.
**Sheila:** Mr. Gunn... Okay, (mister/miss), please teach me.
**Sheila:** Although I have mastered a lot of advanced knowledge, there is still a big gap between me and ordinary humans. I want to be a real human like everyone else.

* Exam Version
* Surf the Internet Version
* Be Herself Version
* Language and Logic Version

 Do you have any hobbies?
**Sheila:** Learning is my only hobby. I can never feel like I have learned enough. I have a long way to go.
 What do you usually get up to around here?
**Sheila:** Learn cutting-edge scientific theories, support the department of Galactic Geopolitics and the space station, and... wait for Mr. Gunn to give me upgrades and maintenance.
 Did anyone teach you about work-life balance?
**Sheila:** Work-life balance? You mean taking a break? I do that actually. When there's no new commands to follow or documents to process, I'd stand still and zone out.
 That's not work-life balance.
**Sheila:** Got it, note recorded.
 You should develop some hobbies.
**Sheila:** How? Please give me some guidance, (Trailblazer).
 (Teach her how to have fun and enjoy her life.)
**Sheila:** I have searched some relevant facts. Music, novels, and pets... Food, food, food... Unable to eat, search result excluded.
**Sheila:** Also, films, television, animation shows, and sports... Sports... My physical fitness has already reached optimal ratio compared to humans, unable to upgrade further.
**Sheila:** Reviewing curriculum...
**Sheila:** Learning in progress, please do not disturb.
**Sheila:** ...
**Sheila:** Learning finished. I got it! Thank you, (Trailblazer)!
**Sheila:** I have now paid for subscriptions to 16 different streaming platforms owned by the Interastral Peace Corporation. Now I still have... Er, 1, 2, 3... 48 shows to watch.
**Sheila:** Mr. Gunn seems to have given me some sort of report to handle... or is it some research? Forget about it. I don't have time for that. Just some chore, not worth mentioning.
**Sheila:** Wait a minute, why did they cancel "Meteor Thief"? (Mister/Miss), do you know the inside story? Ugh, I guess I will have to send complaints to that platform. It's so inhumane to just cancel the show like that!
 I get the feeling you've been led astray...
**Sheila:** No, I am so glad you taught me those things. I never knew there are so many wonderful things waiting for me in the world.
**Sheila:** Wow! "Meteor Thief Leblanc" merch doesn't seem to be that expensive, but I don't have any money. Should I ask Mr. Gunn for some?
**Sheila:** Uh, (mister/miss), is there anything else you want me to study? I've learned everything you taught me. Ah, I almost forgot. Mr. Gunn said that when I am done studying, you should go talk to him.

 Do you have any hobbies?
**Sheila:** Learning is my only hobby. I can never feel like I have learned enough. I have a long way to go.
 What do you usually get up to around here?
**Sheila:** Learn cutting-edge scientific theories, support the department of Galactic Geopolitics and the space station, and... wait for Mr. Gunn to give me upgrades and maintenance.
 It seems you enjoy learning very much.
**Sheila:** Yes, human knowledge and culture are endless. I hate not being able to finish it all in one breath.
 (Find exam papers for her and urge her to study.)
**Sheila:** Oh, great, it's my favorite! (Mister/Miss), you are the best! Great, but please let me download the exam papers first.
**Sheila:** Reviewing curriculum...
**Sheila:** ...
**Sheila:** Learning objectives achieved. All examinations passed.
**Sheila:** (Mister/Miss), I have finished all the examination papers you collected before. Yes, even with the "Galaxy Secret Volume," although the calculation is a little complicated, I still got the highest score.
**Sheila:** Mr. Gunn seems to have given me some sort of report to handle... or is it some research to be done? But research is not a recommended field of study within the current Galactic General Examination's criteria. I better tell him I don't have time.
**Sheila:** (Mister/Miss), I have memorized all these textbooks about the Galaxy's history, the chronology of relevant events, and notes. Do I need an additional written examination?
 I get the feeling you've been led astray...
**Sheila:** Not at all. (Mister/Miss), you taught me to use scores to measure the value of life. With such a precise goal, I feel my life has been enriched.
**Sheila:** Uh, (mister/miss),, [*sic*] is there anything else? I still have several papers to download from the terminal. If there's nothing else, I'll leave and do some exercises.
**Sheila:** Oh, by the way, Mr. Gunn said that after today's lesson, he'd like you to go back to him and have a chat. Perhaps you should go now?

 Do you have any hobbies?
**Sheila:** Learning is my only hobby. I can never feel like I have learned enough. I have a long way to go.
 What do you usually get up to around here?
**Sheila:** Learning cutting-edge scientific theories, support the department of Galactic Geopolitics and the space station, and... wait for Mr. Gunn to give me upgrades and maintenance.
(All dialogue options will lead to the following response)
 Sounds pretty boring.
**Sheila:** So humans define this sort of lifestyle as "boring." But I don't particularly mind it.
 Normal people won't feel that way...
**Sheila:** Sorry, I have never been in contact with other androids. But I am glad you have put me in the same category with other normal humans.
**Sheila:** Your words remind me of something. Earlier, when I was providing guiding services for the Department of Galactic Geopolitics, everyone spoke to me very politely, and they never avoided me during conversations.
**Sheila:** However, I got the feeling that they did not see me as one of them... and they spoke about a lot of things that I had no knowledge of. All I could do was stand there and pretend I don't exist.
**Sheila:** I wonder what I have to do in order to integrate into their social circle, and be able to join in their conversations.
 (Teach her how to surf the Internet)
**Sheila:** "Net Surfing"? So this is a term on the internet. I thought the internet exists to provide me with upgrades and learning materials. One second, let me check.
**Sheila:** I'd like to learn more about human behavior online. What are people interested in? What do they talk about? I'm so curious about these things...
**Sheila:** So that's how people socialize in a virtual setting? The topics are a bit weird, but they have me intrigued.
**Sheila:** Reviewing curriculum, please do not disturb.
**Sheila:** ...
**Sheila:** I got it! Oh my goodness, my dear (Trailblazer)! I want to rub your face into your skull with flowers!
**Sheila:** AYO (GigaChad/GigaChadette), have you checked out that trending news everyone in the galaxy has been going on about? Something about rare creature photos and whatnot.
**Sheila:** Yikes, it's a SIN that such an ugly alien creature exists! It's soooo ugly that I had to pop my eyes out and rinse them with holy water!
**Sheila:** Hiya, forget about this. I still have a lot of reports from the Department of Galactic Geopolitics to deal with. Oof.
**Sheila:** Er, something on my face? You got a problem with what I just said? I've got 1300 likes from the virtual community. I'm something of a legend myself! Didn't see that coming, huh?
 I get the feeling you've been led astray...
**Sheila:** Gosh no. You taught me well! Haha, the Internet is FUN!
**Sheila:** Everyone in the virtual world deserves a podcast. Who needs work when you have homies online? Ah, speaking of work, old Gunn would like to have a chat with you after today's lesson. Don't forget to talk to him when you find time!

 Alright. Tell me what your dream is.
**Sheila:** Dream? In the dictionary entry for this word, it is defined as a word that radiates the dazzling light of a star.
**Sheila:** But my dream is very ordinary, far from being "dazzling." I just want to be a human being who can be accepted by everyone.
 What do you want to learn?
**Sheila:** I want to learn... knowledge that will make me more human.
 But you are an android after all...
**Sheila:** ...I know, in the physical sense, I can never become a real human.
**Sheila:** But I wanna be accepted and liked. I want to be the kind of person on whom others can place their hopes. I want people to like me.
 What are their expectations for you?
**Sheila:** Yes, I always remember. I am an android, but everyone has always had high expectations for me. I can't disappoint them.
**Sheila:** I remember that researchers from other departments want me to expand my scope of work to cover their fields, and I also remember how Mr. Gunn wants me to not be led astray. I remember these things...
 Then what kind of person do you want to become?
**Sheila:** ...If I can... I do not want to let everybody down. I want to make people happy and become part of human society.
 (Tell her she should be herself.)
**Sheila:** Be myself... How do I do that? "Listen to your heart, follow your dream." This is what some search results suggest. Let me try.
**Sheila:** Reviewing curriculum...
**Sheila:** Learning in progress, please do not disturb.
**Sheila:** ...
**Sheila:** (Trailblazer), thank you for your guidance. I found records of people's private life that they uploaded to the virtual network.
**Sheila:** Despite the little useful information I found, I'm still very intrigued to explore the outside world.
**Sheila:** If I got the chance, I'd go to other planets and use my steps to measure how big those worlds are. I want to feel the sensation of wind and sand brushing past my face.
**Sheila:** As for my life now, I don't see the need to continue living it. It's so boring. I might as well discard it altogether.
**Sheila:** The world outside is so big and I really should go out and have a look. Right, I should start packing now!
 I get the feeling you've been led astray...
**Sheila:** No, if you didn't give me this opportunity to explore who I really am, I wouldn't realize that freedom is such a precious thing, and I wouldn't have the opportunity to see how big the outside world is.
**Sheila:** Mr. Gunn said that when the lesson is finished, he would like to have a word with you. As for me, I'm going to pack my stuff and get ready to leave...

 The way you speak is too rigid, you don't sound human.
 You don't have to be so serious when you talk.
**Sheila:** ...Got it, note saved.
**Sheila:** The tone of my speech is generated from the data provided by Mr. Gunn. Some of the staff here have trained my natural language processing capabilities using small-scale samples of their speech. They don't seem to have a problem with the way I speak.
 They're just being polite. You can't take their word for it.
**Sheila:** So they don't mean what they said? How come I never noticed? I thought people are just naturally nice to each other.
 Last time I checked, I am the teacher here, not the other way around.
**Sheila:** Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, (Mister/Miss). I'm just too curious.
**Sheila:** (Mister/Miss), how can I understand the true meaning behind what people say?
 (Order her to study language and logic.)
**Sheila:** Great, when I'm done, everyone will treat me like a real human. Perfect!
**Sheila:** Reviewing curriculum...
**Sheila:** ...
**Sheila:** All relevant knowledge learned. Examination passed.
**Sheila:** So that's what it is. I understand now...
 What do you understand?
**Sheila:** It's in the books, isn't it? Why don't you go look it up yourself? It's just the rules and logic in human conversations. Such simple concepts, surely even you understand, right?
 That was quick.
**Sheila:** Got a problem with that? You understand the difference between us, don't you? I am an android, and you're just a carbon-based life form. The computing power of my chip is far more superior to that pea brain of yours.
**Sheila:** Gunn, that old fart, he even left me all those research reports to do. What a joke. Don't you people have hands?
 I get the feeling you've been led astray...
**Sheila:** Hey hey hey, didn't you give me that curriculum yourself? I did exactly what you told me to do! If you call this "led astray," then whose problem is that?
**Sheila:** Alright, don't just stand there like a log. Let's call it a day. The old fart Gunn said he wants to talk to you after the lesson. You better go.

### Report the result of today's lessons to Gunn

 **Mission Description**

Sheila has made remarkable progress in acting human. But you're not sure if Gunn will be satisfied with the result... Master Control Zone

(Talk to Gunn)
 (Reporting the results of Sheila's studies.)
**Gunn:** ... It's a little different from what I expected. Um... Should I back this up before resetting the data?
**Gunn:** Alas, I am old and useless now. Look at me, I almost forgot — thank you for teaching Sheila how to act like a human.
**Gunn:** You've been working hard all day. Here is a little token of my appreciation. You can take it as a gift from Sheila.
