Where Is Everyone?

(album: The Vice Quadrant: A Space Opera, Pt. 1 - 2015)

[GG:]
Hello? Hello, is anyone home? Hatchworth? Spine? Rabbit? Peter? Where is everyone? Beebop? QWERTY?

[QWERTY:]
Sleep mode interrupted. QWERTY online. Sensors indicate android presence. Subject: GG the Giraffe. Calculating communication algorithms. Sup?

[GG:]
Oh hey QWERTY, where did everyone go? The guys were supposed to come to my recital. I was gonna belch the entire score to Cats!

[QWERTY:]
Wow, I can see why no one would come to that

[GG:]
Man, what do you know anyway?

[QWERTY:]
I know that I would rather wipe my entire hard drive than go to your recital

[GG:]
Whatever, your simplistic hardware can't appreciate my musical genius anyway. You're in the presence of the next big starlet

[QWERTY:]
My data suggests otherwise. Calculating... Yep, the calculations are true: you're awful, just awful. Please, do not ever perform again

[GG:]
Why you little d-!

[Steve:]
GG! GG!

[GG:]
Steve!

[Steve:]
Oh, what's the deal, GG? I went to your recital but you weren't there

[GG:]
I was gonna perform, but nobody showed up!

[Steve:]
Well, I showed up, didn't I just say I showed up? How can you say nobody showed up when I just showed up? How about I show you up right now, you showed up

[QWERTY:]
Get it together, man

[Steve:]
I'm sorry, thank you, QWERTY. I've just been going a little nuts, house-sitting by myself while Peter and the family are out of town and the robots are travelling through space

[GG:]
What? Exposition? Robots? Space? And they didn't invite me?

[Steve:]
Well, they said it was some kind of musical space adventure trip, and they only needed robots that could handle the rigors of musical space travel

[GG:]
What? I'm a perfect musical space-ready robot!

[Steve:]
I don't know, GG. Can you survive in zero oxygen environments?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Can you withstand over 2 Gs of gravity without passing out?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Do you have heat shields?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Retro rockets?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Solar sails?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Fuel cells?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Cool racing stripe decals?

[GG:]
Yes

[Steve:]
Can you spontaneously summon musical accompaniment to play along to the arbitrary lyrics that will no doubt issue forth from your mechanical maw?

[GG:]
Can I!
