Data Recording 001: This is a pretty strange test...

[genkibot]

[Early afternoon during a school week in suburbia is usually quiet. Before the kids return from school and the parents are currently working, there is not much to break the silence or stillness of a suburban neighborhood. The block along Mitchell Road sure seems like no exception. Other than the sounds of birds and the occasional passerby, it is

[Yamame just happened to be out on the town, exploring and finding whatever different types of spiders might exist in the town...she she sees the Tachikoma trundling down the road. She immediately squeals and claps her hands, then gives chase.]

HEY HEY, GIANT BLUE JUMPING SPIDER!!!

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma hears a young girl's voice and turns to see who shouted, seeing someone running after it.]

"A giant spider? That's unusual for an area like this. Maybe it belongs to someone?"

[It begins looking around for the aforementioned spider.]

[thug_disease]

[This gives Yamame a chance to catch up to Tachikoma, at which point she latches herself onto one of it's legs in a hug.]

Giant spider you're made of metal!

[And now Tachikoma is dealing with Yamame attempting to climg up to the top of it...though the slippery metal surface makes it a bit hard.]

How did you get so big and metal, jumping spider?

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma's eye spins as it watches the young girl climbing, taking in what she is saying before it lowers itself slightly and moves an arm out to provide a handheld or step for her.]

"I was made this big, but I'm not a spider. I'm a specially design support tank. Though my design specifications were slightly based off a spider, that was more of using a design that would best provide support in an urban environment for Section 9."

[thug_disease]

[Yamame utilizes the step to spring onto Tachikoma's back, taking a seat and grabbing onto the antenna.]

I dunno what that means! You look like a big blue jumping spider! And you can talk like a human!

Whatcher name?

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma makes sure she's settle before getting getting back up into its normal stance.]

"My name is Tachikoma! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

[One of its eyes is watching her as it raises an arm to offer a little wave hello.]

"What's your name?"

[thug_disease]

[Yamame smiles and happily waves back.]

I'm Yamame! Spiders are my friends cuz I'm a Tsuchigumo!

Or...well...I was.

[genkibot]

Hello then, Yamame!

But I thought Tsuchigumo were legends or folktales. Though it's believed they were based of a race of people living in the mountains of Japan...

Are you descended from them then? Or, were?

[Tachikoma tilts slightly as it thinks about what it just said.]

How can you no longer be a descendant? Were you under the assumption that you were to suddenly have some new information that showed you weren't like gene mapping, maybe?

[thug_disease]

[Yamame simply tilted her head with a blank stare.]

I dunno what gene mapping is! But I'm not a descendant, I am one!

Or...was one...but Mayfield made me human!

[genkibot]

So you're saying you were a Tsuchigumo but Mayfield made you human? And we're speaking about the Tsuchigumo who aren't human, then? The ones in books and stories and legends? I never met a legend before! Most people tend to think legends aren't something you can physically meet, though...

[thug_disease]

I dunno anything about any legends! I'm just me!

I guess you're from the outside world!
