They are exceptional cultural learners and can read situations.
![Scritter by iServalan Critter from the Book of Immersion V1 Strata 7](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYy21kDnfMW3AQUg16BOkvLIeG-mNL9nvTcTTR08zAMI3-JJ0VeKJ_sAoJaDUU57dD2S3qYTZU1cqYOyMPMHZCN1LOHioMmHil94mj2poB6T3mfpJkD6-s652V3H2k7Xq5OC5Ag2PO0qKQFkEyPtVBbMNZC1bwNFjVjho22OOID0vlnhr4Vfdg_chfpg/w157-h157-rw/Scritter%20Gossamer%20from%20Immersion.jpg)
The cultural and socio-political environment in which humans have evolved has led them to acquire the cognitive skills, particularly mathematical, to support a sophisticated disposition along with a capacity for reciprocal cooperation. Humans understand conceptual ideas of property and exchange.
Outside there was an optimistic sun and the people busied around the market unaware of any of the commotion that had occurred in the bank.
The *POS informed Renyke that he had lost negligible battery power and there was no damage to his mechanical or bionic structures.
The robot-dog and the cat had waited patiently outside the bank and now trotted diligently at their owners' sides.
Maybeline returned to Renyke's pocket for a nap.
'You got my *bits?' asked Queen.
'For nearly getting us killed?' replied Renyke contemplating the difference between, irony, sarcasm and humour. POS began to explain but Renyke shut her out. He really did not want to know at this juncture.
Back on the main street Flex approached smiling and jaunty. Renyke was reassured to see him.
'I need a vehicle Flex, something to get me to where I am going, thirty miles or so,' said Renyke.
'Yes, yes, yes Mr. Leather Man, where you goin' is where I'm goin'. Let's find a veee-hicle. Jerome, he is the car man, he got cars, and bikes and *scoots..... and *copters, and airships so they say.'
'Take me to Jerome,' said Renyke.
There are the echoes of voices, activity and motor engines being revved from another part of the building. There is a smell of fuel and mumbled communications. Somewhere too there is music.
Flex beckoned Renyke to Jerome's office, a ramshackle room filled with books. More books than Renyke had ever seen. Books were no longer used in most homes or schools and the paper shortages after the warmings had meant that they were no longer being produced commercially. Paper had become heavily taxed and there were also problems with *scritters.
Scritters are large crawling insects that had been genetically modified in a laboratory by the Russian military. They were a fusion of a cockroach and a wasp but their wings had become almost defunct in the genetic processing. They could get a few feet above the ground but not for very long.
'A car you say?' asked Jerome. 'I got plenty, but the fuel....we got no fuel. We are working on some alternatives, but all prototypes so far. They cut off our fuel and generators after the riots. And the food supplies..... I have been missing gummies, I loved those. Don't suppose you have any?'
Renyke shook his head as Jerome continued....
'Transport is a big problem. You could walk my friend, if you can get through the tunnels. But there are booby traps all around the perimeters here in the zones. You probably wouldn't make it....dead by morning, even before breakfast. And them pigs....they're hungry...'
Renyke checks the POS for details but the pigs and the tunnels but they are unchartered.
'I have a hybrid cart,' continued Jerome. 'It runs on solar but only for about 3 hours per full charge if you do under 40km. And if it is a cloudy day, an hour. I can let you take it for 3000 *G-bits. It won't get off the ground without jet fuel but it can drive on flat ground well enough. It holds the road ok, and even if you are a bad driver, it will get you 30 miles in an hour or so. And at that price, well it's a steal my friend.'
'Can you drive?' Renyke asked Flex.
Flex laughed... 'Of course I can. But how far we going, might be better to get a horse'.
A scritter crawls across the floor and Jerome stamps on it. A black tar oozes from under his foot.
Jerome sees Renyke might be changing his mind about the deal.
'I will take *TELL, You got some TELL?"
The POS gets a signal......
...TELL: abbreviation of Tellurium, found in copper ore. Used in mobile phones, especially older versions where it was added to other metals improving their strength and hardness and reducing corrosion. Rare due to demise of traditional copper mines.
Renyke, feeling confused about whether to get the vehicle and how much the exchange was worth, asks POS for advice.
I am not programmed to have opinions and am unable to make a useful prediction using probability. I do not have access to data about the vehicle, it has no computerised system. The seller seems to be shield protected and I cannot assess his reliability. But Redact is within easy walking and running distance for a *Mark 2 such as yourself.
Renyke looks at Flex and then at Jerome. A scritter is crawling up his boot and he throws it off with a kick. He feels a rising panic and a thumping in his chest which he does not recognise. Why was it so important that he not make a mistake? Why was he not able to understand the virtue or danger of the exchange?
Finally Renyke said, 'I will run.'
