Ninth Clue - [Audio]

[huragokwhistler]

So uh.

I was wondering if someone could pick me up and take me back to base.
Just curious.

[Because he's a chip. Sitting on the ground outside a teleporter.
Other than that he's having a great time, though.]

So I wasn't the only one to get stuck as something unable to move of his own power?

I was starting to think I was cursed or something. Bad enough I lost Epsilon, then the damn drugged water, and now I'm stuck like this? This is just getting asinine.

[huragokwhistler]

You're not the only one, no.

Honestly I can think of weirder things to be stuck as. And at least we aren't hallucinating anymore, right?

[Hallucinating and being an AI at the same time would suck. So hard.]

[edgeoflucidity]

Good. But I swear, if I figure out who thought making me an AI on top of all that was a good idea? I will kill them.

As soon as I figure out a way to move to do it.

[huragokwhistler]

I'm pretty sure it's just a malfunction with the teleporters. Besides, we have full access to the network; if you get inventive you can figure out how to do that without moving.

... Not that I'm saying you should, there's enough people here that think AIs are evil already.

I get that yer in awe of havin' me around, but never heard one of your sort going weak at the knees.

[huragokwhistler]

I could only go weak at the knees if I had any knees right now.
Not that I would in the first place.

Went into a teleporter as a human, came out as an AI. So I'm pretty much a chip with wireless access to the network.

Hologram

[sharkdogging]

Having fun, love?

Hologram

[huragokwhistler]

[Have a hologram in return, of a six-inch-tall smoke-grey ODST covered in flames.
... Yeah, he went a bit literal for his avatar.]

Oh, oodles, Virgil. How about you?

[sharkdogging]

Well, I can lick my own balls so all in all I aint too bad. [He scratches his ear idly with one foot.]

So the teleporters... lit you on fire, then?

[huragokwhistler]

Not too shabby.

Nah, this is just the avatar I'm using. Got turned into an AI. Let's see... [There's a bit of interference and then is blue and purple and an engineer.]

Don't have to stick to one avatar.

[Faceless people requesting help? This is what Jack was made for.]

Location?

audio

[huragokwhistler]

[Hello person whose voice he doesn't recognize right off the bat. Still... he'd rather not be stuck in the grass anymore.

Have some coordinates to a portal in Garden Zone 1. Bleep bloop.]

Hadn't exactly intended to end up out here, and now I can't leave.

[i_would_kindly]

[Mission objective acquired. Jack starts off immediately.] Injured?

[huragokwhistler]

[How I explain AI.] No. It's complicated, but uh... Let's just say you should watch where you step when you get there. There'll be a little disc-shaped thing... which is me.

[howkickassiam]

...You don't have legs?

[huragokwhistler]

Yeah, that's the funny thing about being a hologram. [The fun of being an AI!]

So how are you?

[howkickassiam]

...Holy shit, did you get stuck as an AI?

[ y so many of you guys ffff ]

Uh. Human?

[huragokwhistler]

Yeah. It's... not so bad. Aside from the having to be carried around.

[That part is kind of embarrassing.]

I'm sure you've heard already, but I'd avoid teleporters for a while.
