Status Report:

Liber8R has been thinking. Perhaps masculine pronouns are not so accurate to describe 'him'. 'He' is of course a robot. 'He' has no real understanding or care for human genders, and 'he' has no biological or physical sex. 'He' has met various humans who share 'his' sentiment. So Liber8R is no longer a 'he'. Liber8R now prefers the singular they. For now, they are satisfied with this decision.

Liber8R overslept.

1432 hours? Verify that chronometer reading is correct.
