[it's a lovely day in camp! and there's a giant robot standing out in a field not too far from the mess hall enjoying the weather, as scary robots are wont to do. climbing all over it is a girl talking pretty loudly to... herself, apparently]

I can't believe you like this better than the swamp.

--and why won't this work!?

It's inoperable, or refuses to be operated?

[dancemecanique]

Both, probably. It doesn't have the power and it thinks it would be a bad idea anyway.

[idle_traveller]

"It" would be a bad idea?

[dancemecanique]

Trying to start up any of the weapons systems.

[idle_traveller]

What kind of weapons does it have?

[dancemecanique]

Lasers, projectile claws. That kind of thing!

[idle_traveller]

Further into the field may help.

[dancemecanique]

Wouldn't work. TheEND doesn't have the power to do that kind of thing in camp. No trapar.

[idle_traveller]

The what? And what isn't present in camp?

[dancemecanique]

TheEND. That's the name of the robot. At home it uses trapar to fly, which is... particle stuff? Whatever, it's in the air at home but not here.

[idle_traveller]

It can't walk?

[dancemecanique]

It can drive, sorta, in vehicle mode. But not very fast or far. It was made for flying.

[idle_traveller]

Well, it's worth trying to see if it'll allow you to do anything when further away from people.

[dancemecanique]

It's never cared about that before...

[idle_traveller]

Camp changes people. . . And objects.

[dancemecanique]

[sigh]

Stupid camp. I guess... we'll move later. The view's nice right here.
