Kathrine the task machine

Kathrine sits slightly hunched forwards on a covered garden swing seat, and is joined by Mark.

When she greets him, her voice sounds distinctly like a robot.

She introduces herself not as Kathrine, but as a “superior task bot”, which she says must be fed paper and wax, though she forgets the word for sealing wax (‘laksegl’), and instead says “stamp wax” (‘stempelvoks’).

When Mark places these supplies into Kathrine’s mouth, she extends her belly outwards, pushing a small task envelope with an official wax seal out from between the rolls of skin.

Lasse finds the idea of a robot that can actually do less than the person it’s meant to replace more fun than superior, and so awards Kathrine last place.
