So Garland was pretty much prepared for what was coming to him. Finally, being retired, and 'reveling' that Resch is an android.(??) His entire story of he and the other escaped Nexus-6's to Earth is highly helpful, in the long run, to Rick, who still doesn't know exactly how many are left or where they might be hiding. Are androids really made to 'serve humanity'? created for men, by men...they're very good at getting into the 'heads' and deep emotions of humans, do they think them feeble? Or do they really feel discriminated against because they are artificial? They can surly strategize, though, giving them some start on (at least the chickenheads) blind-sighted humans.
I'm starting to really like Resch, almost in the 'John Isidore' way of his character. The fact that he has a real pet squirrel makes me sway to his humanistic qualities, and potential mortality. I just hope Rick isnt setting himself up for anything he can't handle.
"The Scream" has profoundly imprinted my mind as Resch described how an android must feel, in chapter 12. Luba "end's tomorrow," and feels as though she never started. The dynamics of different types of 'androids' gets deeper and deeper throughout chapter 12 delving into personality traits and feelings. I still don't really know if androids are able to sleep, eat, die by way of time or decay, or, could they commit suicide? Luba really did seem as though she was simply trying to hide/fit in and keep her supposed 'passion' for the arts in the public eye. (giving back? entertaining...) I also thought it was interesting that Rick showed Luba a bit of empathy, himself, before she was retired, by complying to her last requests. I'm also intrigued by Rick's 'new test ideas and questions' to incorporate into his VK test. Oh, and i change my mind about Resch...he's a scum bag of the future. Doing, simply what he 'needs' to get by.
