‘Comedy’ had been a concept that was eluding Prospect’s understanding for all the years he had been spending researching these humans. What sparked his interest was when a young man made a humorous remark concerning another man. The joke riddled Prospect. Determined to grasp this idea, he tapped the atmospheric airwaves and channeled them to the hive so he could observe human television. In doing this he ran into more questions. The levels of humor escaped Prospect completely. He couldn’t degenerate the difference between toddler cartoon comedy and adult sitcom jokes.
“What makes people laugh?” is Prospect’s base inquiry. The problem with his question—the problem is what he doesn’t see—is that ‘people’ can be further categorized into the styles of humor that different people are more welcome to than others. Some people aren’t funny. Some use dry humor. Some ridicule others in amusement. Other people see pain upon others as comedic. Some consider life to be one big joke. To others death is humorous. Ridiculous antics and nonsense is funny to many people. Relative stupidity is laughed at by all humans.
Before understanding any sort of comedy, Prospect was going to have to concentrate on human spontaneous emotional response. He’d need to grasp emotions and understand each of their functions alone. So far Prospect had been attempting to learn their logic first and then actions; cause and effect. Prospect was missing the middle aspect of human logic: the illogical aspect. Emotions can be the divider between success and failure to someone. Prospect understood that logical reason and deductive thought were the basis behind choice. Unbeknownst to him, the way someone feels is hidden in-between judgment and action. He had never had to feel anything before. Feeling appeared to Prospect to be the effect of moral values. Before he could begin to learn the true basis behind emotions, he’d need to discern the difference between the acceptable and non-acceptable morals each individual understands to be right or wrong. Relativity, indeed, appears innate within all humans, the trait absent in Irin.
In the human common language English, for better practice and training, Prospect ordered his androids, ”Lock coordinates onto Position Dissa. Prepare matter displacement field.”
Accessing the gauntlet computer, Prospect initiated the holofact-projection that allowed him to take on the appearance and physical properties of a human being. Once in human form, he clothed himself properly as he learned was the social norm. To be nude in public was considered inappropriate—by most. Prospect still didn’t understand why a minor number understood public nudity to be acceptable while other despised the action.
Inside the displacement chamber which resembles a cylindrical phone booth, ”Initiate displacement in four…three…” Cutting himself off, Prospect exhaled harshly emptying his lungs of all the air he could for reasons necessary to the operational properties of the displacing field. Instead of some kind of flash of light to distinguish the displacement, the chamber blinked pitch darkness as Prospect was replaced with air.
