4 Apples

[What the heck is... that? It would be easier to see how it looked like the other sudden ponies all over the ship, if not for the fact that it were a mass of tangled legs. However, the constant ramble of it talking to itself makes it clear enough who this thing used to be.]

Okay, not panicking, definitely not, perfectly calm here, doing fine, a couple... upgrades, overnight, is what happened, that's all it is, mate, keep being calm, all good, need to just... figure out... the new apparatus...

[The legs twitch and squirm a bit, but he gets no closer to standing. He does, however, manage to catch sight of Cambot]

Cam! It's me, uh, having some weird technical difficulties, is all, some sort of... thing happened, not sure the details, I got a model... well I don't want to call it an update, honestly, that implies things improved, so far, not seeing that being the case.

[Gypsy completely understands his pain. Organic lifeforms are nice and all, but WHY do they have to come with so many limbs?!]

Ohhhh my! I don't even know what to do with all this!

[alleyenobrain]

Right?! Not just me, is it? Completely mental, the whole design, who thought of something like this?

[itsjustthebots]

I don't know...I guess Crow gets around on his skinny little legs, too. But double the skinny legs and it's even more to think about! [Thusfar, she hasn't even tried to move. Not that she does so much anyway when she's her normal self.]

[alleyenobrain]

[Smart of her, but he's not known for that. Nor for being still.] Inconsiderate, pulling us into all this organics-type stuff, isn't it? I mean, the legs alone are an absolute mess, aren't they, but I've got all these... these joints and things, all over the place, just distracting, every bit of it...

[itsjustthebots]

Ohhhh. Maybe you can...just slide everywhere!

[alleyenobrain]

Ha, there's an idea, yeah. Floors'll need a waxing, though.

[itsjustthebots]

Haha, yeah! I'd do it, but...I can't walk all that well myself.

[alleyenobrain]

Right, then, put it on the to-do list. Guess we can, eh, make a team effort of figuring this out, right?

[itsjustthebots]

Yes. Teamwork is very nice! I'll just um. I'll just get going here...

[Gypsy stands up awkwardly. Her back legs are really shaky.] Ohh, oh yeah, one step at a time! Okay...here we go!

[alleyenobrain]

There we go, that's the spirit! Just one little bit... at a time. Moving... slowly. [He very slowly manages to get his feet under him]

[itsjustthebots]

Uh-huh! Okay, starting out real um. Slow, here...

[She manages to take a couple of steps forward. However, when she picks up a bit of speed, her back legs go too fast and she ends up tripping over them.]

Oops. Boy, I'm glad Joel didn't design me this way normally.

[alleyenobrain]

Yeah, that, that happens a lot, the falling over. One big advantage, though, to the increased mobility here, is the part where you can pick yourself up when you fall down! Or try. Didn't have that option so much before.

[itsjustthebots]

Haha, that's true, yeah! [After some more wobbling, she gets herself back onto her feet.]

Theeeere we go. Easy does it! [She keeps walking down the hall, shaky but making progress.]

Oh, um. Cambot, why don't I just catch up with you later? I'm sure I'll get there...oh, eventually!
