Well, that's interesting. A tiny little robot has just rolled into the Nexus. When we say tiny, we mean "well under two feet tall". He's basically a well-worn, slightly rusted box with treads on either side, a pair of spindly little arms, and two surprisingly expressive cameras that extend from the top of him on what can only really be called his neck. A very unusual design, but he almost counts as humanoid.

Anyway, the robot treads across the Nexus quickly, leaving a trail of dirt in his path. From his intent body language, it can be inferred that he's looking for something -- or more likely someone, as evidenced by his occasional calls of "EVA? EEE-VAH..." in a tinny, synthesized voice. Occasionally his lenses will catch on something interesting or some swift movement, but after a moment of staring, he shakes his head and continues on the search. "EEEEE--"

Until he almost runs right into an information post. "Whoa!" He backs up and peers at the explanatory poster, lenses focusing and tilting as he reads. "Ques...tion? Hmm..." A series of warbling hums.

And after a moment, this cute little robot has decided upon a question. He turns around, looks up at someone nearby -- yes, perhaps you -- and asks, "Direc-tive?"
