im sorry he's just like this
Lucky(?) for Legion, the threatening aura is immediately dropped in favour of confused gawking, shortly followed by an enthusiastic] This place has Nasods?! I've never seen a model like this before...
[Not only that, but this is clearly an advanced model if it can respond like that. He's seen enough of the more mindless Nasods to know the difference. He enters the apartment fully to get a closer look—probably a little too close, but at least he's keeping his hands to himself (so far).]
Unknown model with advanced functionality... the design is completely different from Adrian's work, so it can't be from Elysion. Did another researcher manage to replicate the codes? Or maybe an original creation unrelated to Nasods...? [he is mostly just muttering to himself but now he absolutely needs to know] Who created you? Do you have a name, identification, model number, anything at all? Are there other machines like yourself? Tell me everything!
[... yeah he's pretty much forgotten about the whole reason he just broke in here.]
no subject
We are not a Nasod.
(Another variety of synthetic? It is likely.)
Our name is Legion. We are Geth, and we are the last.
(But this is getting off topic.)
State inquiry.
no subject
[But anyway, Legion just gave him an open invitation to ask questions, and Add is absolutely milking that for everything he can get.]
You said "we", so does that mean the name Legion belongs to more than one unit? Or is that just how you prefer to refer to yourself? Also, if you're "the last" then that implies there were more, but not anymore. What happened to the rest of your kind? Do you know who created you? Is that person still around— ah, I suppose not, or they would probably be able to create more. Unless this creator is still alive but unreachable, such as Adrian Nasod's situation, so perhaps it's not a completely lost cause...
Oh! Wait wait, before that— [he was already starting to talk a mile a minute but now he's really excited again] Your power source! What's powering you?! I've been trying to get Dynamo—I mean, my machines, you get the idea—nothing is responding, it acts like there's no power going to it at all, but that can't be right. But you seem to be functioning fine, so maybe it's something blocking the El energy transfer. If I could take a look at your central power core...
[... and he finally stops babbling long enough to catch his breath.]
no subject
There are 1,183 programs within this platform. Our Creators were a race known as the Quarians. They are also our destroyers.
(They take a step back at the power core comment. They aren't always the most trusting--given that their own creators destroyed them, is it hard to imagine why?)
This platform is not available for experimentation. Additionally, we are incapable of sharing power: though we ourselves remain operational, no electricity flows from us. This is likely a result of this world not consistently adhering to physical law, and is not affected by the design of our platform.
(They headtilt.)
You had inquiries prior to your discovery of this unit. You no longer desire answers?
no subject
[He's nodding along to the rest of Legion's explanation, though it seems like he might be caught up in his own thoughts again... it's not that he's not interested, there's just so much to process! An entirely new, completely alien method of designing artificial life...! If only Eve was here.]
... Ah, back up a bit. You said something about no electricity flow? [it sounds kinda like... something about the environment itself is preventing energy flow? hmmm.] Demon Realm had an oppressive atmosphere that made energy manipulation more difficult, but to suppress it completely... Humans should also be affected by such things, but I don't feel any different. How is something like that possible?
[if he's forgotten about all his other questions again, he'll probably remember it later. maybe.]
no subject
(They chatter.)
This world is incomplete: its laws are inconsistent and do not make logical sense. It is difficult to quantify. The effect is strongly influenced by awareness: the more conscious focus on a given object, area, or occurrence, the more consistently it behaves. As conscious beings are aware of themselves, our own functioning remains largely consistent.
no subject
But machines don't lie, and he has no reason to believe this one would. So... he has to believe it. At the very least, this machine is stating something they perceive to be a fact.
He knew he was in trouble when his Dynamos stopped working, but this is a lot more serious than even a demonic kidnapping plot. Add sighs, rubbing his temples.]
So it's affected by conscious thought, huh... I don't suppose I could get it to work by just thinking about it really hard, huh?
Figures I'd get caught up in something like this. Well, at least there's good company here. [if there are more cool sentient machines... he may be willing to tolerate this for awhile. at least until he can get himself back to Elrios.] It's Legion, right? You can call me Add. Pleasure's all mine.
no subject
They listen to him and his musings. Good company? Does he desire alliance?
...They don't find this entirely objectionable.)
Acknowledged. Greetings Add.
...Additional inquiries?
(They might as well try again to address ... whatever questions he wanted answered.)
no subject
I'm not sure where the best place to start would be, but... hmm, I suppose anything else notable you've observed about this world. There seems to be a gap in my memory, so I can't even remember how I got here. One moment I was in the middle of a conversation and the next I was at the edge of the forest here. I've noticed there are other people here as well, but is everyone in a similar situation or is there anyone native to this world? Also, there must be a reason we're all here, so if you have any ideas about that as well.
no subject
(They chatter.)
Our conjecture: It is likely this world requires our presence to exist in this form.
(They look over at the window and the plants next to it. They would, at some point, like to get back to their observations. They also look over at their couch. Briefly, they consider inviting him to sit. Their headflaps ripple.)
Originally, it was little other than void. We were likely brought here to assist in its creation.
(In essence, they've been drafted into being gods.)
