“Just because you're in the middle of a hectic base defense, that's no reason not to order up some hydration. Hydrating is important when you're working hard!

You should be able to order ammunition or a snack in the middle of a firefight and have one of these little guys roll up to deliver it (the opposition jakos are too polite to shoot at it).” Enthusiastically explained the Jako (mass industrially produced artificial human or clone) from Bloky’s Corporation.

“… but what if they are not Jakos? The opposition forces, I mean?” Asked the biological born human, raising an eyebrow. “And I don’t see this rolling in a bas neighborhood.”

“There are not bad neighborhoods!” Said in a chirpy tone the Bloky’s delivery clone, as she continued her pitch for Shik Snack Delivery Drones. “And so far, test runs have been positive! But this one time, Mantis was there and she stole the snacks from the delivery bot when she saw it passing by. How could she?? So mean!!“

“Uh. Let me guess. You are originally an aFra clone from Azimuth Pharmaceuticals?”

“Yes, why? Thank you!”

based on a conversation in Discord, some comments of @lygen1000 , and a stream with @TangledSyntax and the Shik Snacks (tm) which made me remember this months later!
