Fourth Discovery

[saikyocivrobo]

[The last mission earns Werter a quick stay at the infirmary. He spends most of it, and the time afterwards, applying ice to a huge bump on his head.]

Note to self: treat instructions on fighting in a new environment more seriously next time.

So... how bad was it. I mean... the movement...

[[Gainer has yet to try going out in space himself... or bothered with the training.]]

[saikyocivrobo]

Oh, moving around isn't so hard. Stopping moving, on the other hand...

[turningyaponese]

That so. So, don't you just try to move in the opposite direction instead?

[saikyocivrobo]

There's no atmospheric friction in space, so you have to exert exactly the same force in the other direction to stand still - pretty hard when you don't have any real thrusters to speak of. The easiest way of stopping is to crash into something.

[turningyaponese]

Well, I know King Gainer doesn't have any thrusters so... I'm not sure how it'll even work in space. I haven't had the change to head out there. I'm hoping I don't have to either...

[saikyocivrobo]

It can fly thanks to that glowing totally-not-symbolic halo over its head, right? I'm sure that works well in space too.

[turningyaponese]

You're talking about the Photon Mat Ring, right?

It's not a halo... [[Nope, not admitting that.]]

[saikyocivrobo]

Sure, let's call it like that. Between the monster that attacked Tokyo-3 and some of the girls we have on board, we don't really need more things to be called "angel".

[turningyaponese]

There's probably too many things with the same name. Don't those Angel girls pilot robots with the same name as the one that cause a whole lot of damage years ago?

[saikyocivrobo]

The Halo, yes. Just like the one King Gainer has.

[turningyaponese]

It's a Photon Mat ring, not a Halo...

[saikyocivrobo]

I know, just teasing. In any case, repeating names seem to be a problem. If another Prometheus appears, I might have to sue someone.

[turningyaponese]

I think Prometheus would actually be jealous if there was another one. Besides the one in mythology...

[saikyocivrobo]

Then good that the odds of that are pretty much null, eh?

[turningyaponese]

I wouldn't say that... You never know what people will name their things.

I guess you're hoping not to meet them then?

[saikyocivrobo]

Maybe. Something tells me that someone who names his robot Prometheus is probably going to be very pretentious.
