Hey, if any of that was supposed to be a secret, Josh didn't mention that part!
The rest, though, does draw a wince out of him. "I'm sorry. They're...well, it's a work in progress." David doesn't really need to hear his thoughts on the developing AI and their socialization. Maybe he'd be interested, but it's not exactly an emotionally neutral topic for Otto himself. Very little about the actuators is. "Rest assured, I have it under control. Can't exactly say I'd recommend interfacing with them anyway."
One of the actuators looks at him. Father insults actuators? Father is cruel and unyielding! Otto gives it a Look right back; he said what he said.
"That he is," he agrees, some of that tension vanishing at the topic of Spider-Man. "The version from my world isn't here, but I know most of the ones who are. Good kids, all of them." And one thirty-something who he is decidedly not friendly with, but Otto figures that's more of a reflection on his alternate self than on that particular Spider-Man.
