hi Dr. Solus.

[Alien scientists are still so cool, at last poll.]

It's to do with the radial-grid project. Do you want to come to my lab?

[To whit: she doesn't want to talk about it on the network.]

[He's the coolest.]

Shall come by directly.

[Wooosh. Off to the lab.]

[robodidactic]

[The lab is much as it was the last time Kim invited Doctor Solus over- except that now the walls seem, if anything, thicker and more imposing, and- did she graft an airlock onto the entrance?

I'm sure you can get in with no trouble, and welcome. A lot of people have to wait outside, but Kimiko thinks she can deal with letting a scientist Salarian in.]

I...added extra security features, when I saw the backlogs about the zombies. It came in handy.

[She gestures at one of the many handy sitting devices. It's a rolling stool, what could be better? It has wheels!]

[whatvr_it_takes]

I'm your girl, count me in. [This seems like a fantastic opporunity to check out the station and some of the other residents]

[robodidactic]

Hi. I don't know who you are.

[Or if you're one of the psychotic murdering kind of station resident- a distressingly high number.]

Elaborate?

[whatvr_it_takes]

Agent Carolina, Project Freelancer. I have all of your qualifications covered.

Oh

[And at this point, Kim is faced with the realization that, despite her cross-universal knowledge of Halo, she had never even considered the idea that some of the people in that armor might be female.

It had simply...never occurred to her.

The pause while she assimilates this knowledge is brief, but pronounced.]

Okay. What is your armor rated for radiation shielding?

[Location ping!]

[memorymodus]

me!!!
me me me!

[robodidactic]

Jade don't you have boys to make out with or something.

[Witness the token gripe in all its glory.]

[memorymodus]

kimiko
you of all people should know that science > boys all the time!!!!

[robodidactic]

That is true.

[Jade, with her priorities in order? That's...actually a little heartwarming.]

I need you in the junkyard. We need more alumina. take the portal gun, okay?

Corundum is fine too.

[wouldhavewords]

Unfortunately I only qualify for the first two but I would be more than pleased to offer my services should you continue to require them.

[robodidactic]

are you actually Thor, Norse god of Thunder

[And why do gods keep following her around? This is becoming a problem.]

No don't answer that. Different question: do you have lightening powers?

text;

[wouldhavewords]

Of course. I did not earn the title 'Thunderer' for sound alone.

text;

[robodidactic]

Can you please elaborate?

Or come in for measurements.

My name is Kim.

[mybrotherfought]

I'd be happy to help! I absolutely qualify. Uh, and I'll take cotton candy as payment...? Well, and a share of the salvage locations, Dad'd like to know about those...

text;

[robodidactic]

Hi Megaman. I don't have any cotton candy. I only have turkey.

[IT'S NOVEMBER AND DO YOU EVEN HAVE TASTE BUDS. YOU ARE A ROBOT.]

why cant he find his own salvage.

Re: text;

[mybrotherfought]

[He does! it's just. Very rudimentary and can pretty much only detect very basic flavors and because of the way his system is built he has a massive bias towards sugar (glucose processes very efficiently!) and a massive aversion to salt (NO ENERGY AND RUST ARRGHL)]

:(

he can! I just like helping him out? But if you want it t yourself I guess? Anyway uh I kind of hate the taste of turkey so

I will just do it because it sounds interesting.

[robodidactic]

Do you know what Corundum looks like?

[That's a frowny face. Kim has decided; you are a terrible robot. But even you can't mess up crystalline alumina. That stuff is durable.]
