Ugh, I feel like this is all I do anymore...

Newcomers. Doubtless you've heard the basics of where you've found yourself already, from your so-called "family" or otherwise. Dist the Rose is here to give you a more in-depth explanation; that is, a letter that I myself have been so generous as to compose for you. I'm giving one out to

[Lex walks toward the driveway, observing Dist working.]

Dist, do you have some time?

I wish to make a proposal to you concerning our genius.

B

[buildstherobots]

Lex?

Yes, I have time, and I'm always interested in ways to better utilize my intellect.

B

[greatestmanll40]

Well, simply put, I was talking with Armstrong and I believe through collaboration we could accomplish more than we could individually.

Re: B

[buildstherobots]

Armstrong? Olivier?

[He looks incredulous.]

Have you told her this?

B

[greatestmanll40]

Yes, in fact, she gave full support.

Re: B

[buildstherobots]

...Really. What did she say about me?

[Of course, he could just say that he already works with Olivier in some capacity, but he's also a snoop who wants details when people talk about him.]

Re: B

[greatestmanll40]

Well... she said that despite your quirks that you are a genius of impeccable worth.

B

[buildstherobots]

Somehow I doubt that's all.

Re: B

[greatestmanll40]

How do you mean?

B

[buildstherobots]

I was under the distinct impression that she found me worthless.

Re: B

[greatestmanll40]

No, she has belief in your abilities.

And together, we can accomplish so much.

Re: B

[buildstherobots]

Well I suppose you're lucky, then. I'm one of her lieutenants; I head the machine faction of her army.

Re: B

[greatestmanll40]

Undoubtedly.

You seem to have a way with engineering.. and that science from your world. What was it called again?

Re: B

[buildstherobots]

W-- !

[He's supposed to be surprised! Dist just pulled one over on him, sneakily! He huffs, but there is a compliment here to address.]

You could at least act startled! But yes, I'm a genius with engineering, and the machines from my world are called fontech. Fomicry is the replication process.

Re: B

[greatestmanll40]

Terribly sorry. It takes a bit to shake my composure as I'm sure you understand.

And fontech and fomicry? How is it a replication process? How does it work?

Re: B

[buildstherobots]

Oh, you're just like Jade!

[Dist sulks mightily, not at all pleased with how his little joke played out.]

Fontech is just machinery that takes advantage of the properties of fonons, which are particles of sound. There aren't any here.

...Well, there are, but they're part of me and my things from home.
