First iteration

[Have a silver metallic orb with a bright blue light hovering close to Cambot, examining him carefully.] Hey. Buddy. Mind telling me where we are? I know I don't recognize this place from any of the memories. It's a cool looking place though. Love what they've done with the place.

For that matter? Who the hell are you, and why am I here? And I mean this location, not the existential form of the question. So no funny stuff... [The light quickly flickers to red, then back to blue.] Anyone want to answer me?

[colorbymemory]

It is, but Cambot mostly just helps us talk to each other.

I'm Namine.

[fearmylaserface]

I see.

My name is Leonard Church.

[colorbymemory]

Nice to meet you.

I guess you just got here? Has anyone else explained much yet?

[fearmylaserface]

Yes I did. Interesting place.

A guy named Crow explained a good amount. We're trapped here. Mad scientist bullshit. I apparently have all the luck.

[colorbymemory]

It's not always bad--and the other people here are nice.

[She can say that since Vanitas is gone]

[fearmylaserface]

...

I guess that's a good thing.

[colorbymemory]

It is.

Have you had a chance to explore much? I could help you find your way around.

[fearmylaserface]

That'd be really helpful.

[colorbymemory]

Okay. Are you still where you were when you first arrived? Cambot can help me find you if you aren't.

[fearmylaserface]

I am. Didn't want to move too far.

[colorbymemory]

Okay. I'll be there soon.

[A few moments later, she arrives.]

[fearmylaserface]

[Hovering there, looking down at the cat] Hi there.

[colorbymemory]

Hello. Where would you like to start?

[Normally she'd start with showing him the residential areas and the cafeteria, but those might not be as important to a robot.]

[fearmylaserface]

I don't know. I don't even know what this place has. It's not like the space ships I've been in before.

[colorbymemory]

Why don't I show you where everybody lives, then, and we can go from there?

[Even if he doesn't sleep, he might want his own room, and it helps to know what's where on the satellite.]

[fearmylaserface]

That sounds like a good start, Namine.

Do we get individual rooms here at least?

[colorbymemory]

Okay.

We all have our own rooms, but there's only one bathroom on each deck.

[She starts walking at a pace that should be easy for him to follow.]

Our rooms are on deck two and deck three, then the cafeteria's on deck four.

[fearmylaserface]

[No problems keeping up. This body can move fast if he wants.] Nice. Not that I really need a bathroom or cafeteria normally.

Definitely sounds like a big place.

[colorbymemory]

[Moving fast could be a problem when looking out for traps, especially when going down stairs, so she keeps the pace to a reasonable walk.] We manage.

It is--there's twelve decks in all. This is deck two.

[They've arrived at a long hallway lined with doors. Some appear to be blocked by traps.]

[fearmylaserface]

I'm sure.

What's with the traps?

[colorbymemory]

The mother of one of the scientists running the satellite is visiting, and she thought that since we were turned into animals this week, we needed to be locked up.

[Namine does not sound happy about this.]

[fearmylaserface]

...

Wonderful. She like that about all nonhumans or just animals?

[colorbymemory]

I'm not sure--this is the first time she's been here.

[fearmylaserface]

...

Hopefully she goes away and doesn't come back.

[colorbymemory]

I think most of us would agree with that.
