We searched around the clinic for a while, walking past the staff until we entered a room labeled hydroponics garden.
Connected to the hydroponics garden was what appeared to be a staff only break room. We sat down on the break room sofa.

Randy stood there for a second and looked across the ceiling as if he was inspecting it.

Randy: "So..." "Lemmie just..." Randy placed his hands around my neck and took my collar off.
Baxter: "T-thank you!!"

Randy: "I get it, ya know... “ Randy said, pausing to gather his thoughts.

”He didn't always have these infernal little gadgets. And, it took a lotta trial and error to make these things safe.." Randy said with a thousand yard stare.

"So I of all people get ya being scared of these damn things. Be lucky ya only gotta deal with the ones approved for human trials, Haheheh."
He said, trying to force a smile.

Baxter: "Since you seemed in charge of the rest of the sheep I assumed you were, I assumed you were fine with what doc was doing."
"Why are you so insistent on me going along with his plans? I don't think you fully like him. Is there a reason you keep helping him?"

Randy looked at me baffled and confused, as if I told him the sky was green.

Randy: "I've baa, been helping out on the farm since I was a lamb??? He kinda helped make me??? What am I supposed to do??? RUN AWAY AND LIVE IN THE WOODS?!?!"

Baxter: "Haha, I’d smash his head in if I had to deal with him even half as long as you had to!"
I exclaimed half jokingly.

Randy: "???” Randy looked at me like I was crazy.

Randy: "Look I've been helping manage the other sheep for abaa a decade.
Baafore thaat I was helping maa with harvesting crops and animal rearing."
“I’ve spend my whole life working in this place, I don’t know why yer so surprised thaat I’ve adjusted to the fact thaat ya either ya fall in line with what pops wants, or else.”

Baxter: "Is THAAAT why you thought it was good idea to use a fucking shock collar on me?!" I yelled.

Randy: "Sorry abaa thaat." "I shoulda been more careful abaa what I told ya." He said regretfully.

Baxter: "..." I stared at him waiting for elaboration.

Randy: "It was an accident." Randy said his voice was suffocated by guilt.
"The doc doesn't really get, the idea of trying to lead anyone without maniplating or coersing them. And baacause I'm supposed to be in charge of the flock, it kinda just…” He paused lost in thought.

“Activates whenever I tell folks to do something." He said the word activates almost euphemistically.

Baxter: "Its hard to fucking trust someone if you think its okay to use those things to their personal advantage. Thankfully thaat assumption seems not have much truth to it."

Randy: "I don't want to end up actin like doc, and if using his tech made ya think I was being like him, then I'm sorry."

Baxter: "I know… Just please don’t pull thaat shit again okay.”
Randy: "I won't."
