    How the heck would a male virgin recluse know that a room could be set aside for lactation?

    Would he even know that lactation is an actual thing, other than as an abstract property of mammals?

      All the files that are, or used to be, in his head? Building layout may have been one… Those files may be as useful as precognition!

      One presumes he would have learned the layout out of sheer boredom during times stuck on the roof.

      I’m wondering what all he got up to when he was driving the Violet drone. I’m guessing that only a handful of people were actually privy to the fact that Violet was really Nick piloting an android. So he could have checked out the ladies’ restrooms and the lactation room without drawing much attention.

        Female drone or not, Nick would never take advantage like that!

          Just like he would never use his X-ray cameras to check out Dr. Lee’s underthings.

      Maybe there used to be a sign on the door.

      You forget, he’s not just a male virgin recluse. He’s a male virgin recluse with nearly perpetual access to the internet and all that it contains.

      That is all that I have to say on that subject. Draw your own conclusions.

        And with access to all the internet contains, he may have drawn his own conclusions as well about what goes on in there.

        Of course, this being Annex One, and considering the unusual nature of some of the departments housed in it, what went on in their lactation room may have been very different from what went on in any other one.

        Now, time to let your imagination run amok.

      Speaking as a male virgin recluse, I’m aware of all kinds of things that aren’t actually part of my life. And yes, one of them is that breastfeeding is a thing new mothers do.

      (Admittedly, it didn’t occur to me “lactation room” was a phrase you’d use to describe where it happened until reading these comments; I initially assumed it was a Weird Annex One Thing, and didn’t question it further. It’s possible Nick’s done the same.)

        I had to look it up. It’s (as I understand it) an American thing, connected to lack of extended maternity leave, and connected more with pumping than breastfeeding though it can be used for both.

          I don’t think it’s an American thing as such, but rather an American term for a concept which exists wherever employer wish to help employees who return to work before they stop breastfeeding their children.

          I think Annex 1 also has a creche, so it probably wouldn’t have been exactly as described in the (slightly ranty) Wikipedia article anyway.

      A male virgin recluse, yes, but for the last several years he has also had access to bleeding-edge sensor equipment. Depending on which way he was concentrating, he may have been able to perceive details for a mile away. The x-ray cams make looking through a building no challenge. The problem for Nick might have been learning to turn off those cameras before he “saw” things he wouldn’t have been able to erase from his brain. Which, come to think of it, might explain why he spent some much time on World of Warcraft.

      And then I remembered that Nick had a rather large porn collection. I suspect that there is breastfeeding porn (by Rule 34, not because I looked for it, or intend to look for it), and non-porn images of breastfeeding that he might have had.

      Hm. Didn’t Mr. Green accuse him of having mommy issues? He may have had a rather large collection of breastfeeding images.

      And he may have deliberately used the term “lactation” to avoid saying “breast”.

    Maybe there was tation in every other room.

    Nera’s contribution can be helping Sweetheart create a new org chart revealing Mr. Green is subordinate to Nera’s Mom! 😉

    Then that means they’ll keep up their website.
