Chronobot/Great Leap Forward is from over a thousand years in the future. She’s a living time machine. She’s made of advanced technology that we can’t even begin to imagine yet.

So this scientist, maybe he’s a corporate one, maybe he’s government, maybe he’s his own thing but probably government, he comes to Fringe headquarters and says they’re going to dissect Chronobot for the good of civilization. Find out what makes her and use it to improve technology.

She looks at him, then winds up her leg and gives him a sharp kick in the christmas crackers. And when he’s down, she electrocutes him a bit for emphasis.

And everyone’s looking at her.

And she goes: “What, was I supposed to argue? What the hell kind of social rights are you people living under?”

Which I think is a good point because this guy just said he was straight up going to murder her and most sci-fi stories would treat this as an arguing for her humanity detail but I’m pretty sure if someone says they’re going to murder you, you should be able to kick them in the christmas crackers.

EDIT: Chronobot isn’t sure what hell is, but she also says ‘shitting’ a lot in sentences for emphasis and she isn’t sure what that is either.

Once she said ‘but seriously, what’s an Australia’
