Data Recording 003: Spring is in the air!

Mar 16, 2011 10:55

The weather has started to take a turn for the better as Winter gives way to Spring and Tachikoma is slightly glad about this. While it doesn't "feel the cold," others do, and now that it is warming up, that means more people will be about about. And more people means the chance at more interactions which means more experiences ( Read more... )

[Yeah, Robo comes outside and watches it work.]

You don't see that everyday.

genkibot March 26 2011, 18:52:38 UTC

Eh? Don't see what everyday? I mean, this is kinda new, what with Spring starting up, so we can see grass now, and that can be considered something we haven't seen every day for some time thanks to Winter.

Oh wait, are you part of the family? It's nice to meet you, I'm Tachikoma!

square_cubelaw March 27 2011, 21:16:23 UTC

I meant you, but that's fine.

I'm the new "man" of the house it seems. The names Robo. What exactly are you if you don't mind me asking?

genkibot March 28 2011, 19:31:23 UTC

Nice to meet you Robo!

And like I said, I am a Tachikoma! We are a special type of tank designed to be autonomous thanks to our AI. Specifically we were made to supplement and help Public Security Section 9, though as far as I can tell, no one else or even my fellow Tachikomas are here in Mayfield.

Oh, I guess that's also a reason why you wouldn't see me everyday since I'm a special type of machine not manufactured to the general public!

WH-WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS?!

genkibot March 26 2011, 18:57:27 UTC

Well, the yard mostly just needed some cleaning up since the snow melted, so it's not so much sorcery as just me being busy most of the day working on it.

mylife4food March 26 2011, 20:43:42 UTC

I-I mean you! You are a talking metal being!

genkibot March 27 2011, 00:45:47 UTC

Oh, well, I am a created thing though, so I'm not exactly a being in the living sense of the word. And I'm not talking as such as synthesizing sounds. I mean, I'm using the same abilities people use to make and express thoughts, but I don't have the same biological structures to create speech.

It's not so much sorcery as it is technology, but I guess there's that Arthur C. Clarke quote that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

[Keroro's on one of his walks through Mayfield when he sees Tachikoma working the yard way. It's not a Gundam, but it's a robot and it perked his interest. Also he approves how well he's cleaning up the place.]

Gero...Wow, impressive job, de arimasu!

genkibot March 26 2011, 19:44:45 UTC

Oh, thanks for the praise! I'm not sure I can do many military things around here, especially with so many of my systems down, but I figured I could help out when I can, right?

...Are you an AI as well?

kerorodearimasu March 28 2011, 05:24:49 UTC

Wow. Military? Sweet. I'm Sargent Keroro.

Me? Nah, I'm a Keronian, a frog alien, de arimasu.

genkibot March 28 2011, 19:36:22 UTC

And I'm Tachikoma!

But wow, an alien? I've never met an alien before! So that must mean there's so much more information out in space then just what is here on Earth, huh? That's just so great to think about!
