Athmos Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 IC: Thomast, Nurrad By this point, Nurrad was drawn to the wonder that was Jack, the computer. She came over and poked Thomast in the side, asking, "What does it do besides play some music?" Thomast, even though he was about to respond to the other female Vortixx, had his attention changed to his rather rude companion. "Ah! Nurrad, I told you to stop doing that. But on the subject of Jack, here, he seems to have a form of memory. I have no idea how large it is, and given its-his-age, I rather not pull it-him-apart." Nurrad rolled her eyes. Thomast was such a prude, even to machines. "It's just a machine. You can pull it apart and put it together all day long, and nothing will change."

There were some dead trees, none of them stone. That was... Almost a year ago," Zarrick tried to re-call. "You're right, it's a dangerous place. Even the Corporations' troopers shy away from the place. What does the computer want there?" OOC: "Corporations' troopers"? What am I thinking?

If these beings had been in the junkyard as of late, he needed that information. The land was dangerous, and he wanted to gather the info for future generations. Thomast opened his mouth to speak but the computer uttered a voice, distorted but understandable, warning Nurrad not to pull him apart. "You speak?"

Athmos Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 IC: Thomast Thomast was more than a little shocked at a computer of sorts telling him what to do. From what he understood of them, they obeyed the programmer. "But I'm not the programmer, am I? Mystery upon mystery." he whispered to himself. He quickly jabbed the keyboard to answer the little machine. > I My name is Thomast, a Glatorian. Here with me is Nurrad, a Vortixx, my friend. Another Glatorian, another Vortixx, and a Toa. I do not know their names. Ajuni does still run the hotel. As for your tree, I will have to turn you over to another being.
