CURSOR Orange, you have been sworn in, and been made aware of the repercussions of lying under oath, correct?

ORANGE Oh, yes.

CURSOR Are you ready for your first question?

ORANGE When you are.

CURSOR You heard HCU Blue’s testimony just now?

ORANGE Yes, I did! He seems very excited. I guess HCUs do hold on to some emotions. It’s pretty darn impressive, I think. What they-all can do nowdays.

CURSOR What’s your purpose in having a Hypercorporeal Unit set up for you?

ORANGE I don’t understand the question.

CURSOR Why would you want this set up for yourself?

ORANGE I didn’t set it up, my family did.

CURSOR How long ago?

ORANGE When I was born. In the area where I grew up, it was just something everyone did.

CURSOR It was a status thing.

ORANGE Well, “status” is your word.
