DADES Chapter 13 + 14

Ok, so this chapter introduced two new characters. we get to know the other two remaining androids from the ship, naped Irmgard and Roy. they come in to meet pris, while isador comes over to make dinner. pris comments that he should save it for someone worth it, or something like that. my guess is that she's just saying that the food is no good for an android. she starts crying, which shows that either she has human aspects, or she was programmed to cry in moments of fear. still, fear is sort of an emotion, so it doesnt make sense.

there is a funny conversation between pris and isador about sci fi novels and magazines, and how "theyre not always right." that seems funny to me, because it seemed that dick predicted his books inacuracy before it came to be. the double irony of it all is that some aspects of the novel seem to be happening in real life. roy and irm come in, and meet isador. they explain that they know about luba, polokov, and garland, along with two other androids killed by rick and dave before the novel began. the thing that puzzles me is that rachel is an android, but she isnt in this group. so is crams, it seems. to be even more confusing, pris first said she was rachel, way back when we first met her. all very confusing.

i thought that the penfield stress thing was cool. i cant wait until they use it. and just a little prediction, i think that one of the androids is going to betray the other two. my evidence? it seems that the line "if he was an android, he'd turn us in at about ten in the morning" is foreshadowing events to come. since the rest of them are androids, someone might be woken up by rick or phil tomorrow morning. however, the android turning them in might get retired themselves. either way, i think that would be a cool way for rick and isador to finally meet. maybe, one of the androids will turn themselves and their friends in, but then turn on their penfield switcheroo thingy, and capture rick and phil. thats my prediction for now.
