What the!
YOU DARE USE A PIECE OF LITERATURE AS A SHIELD!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? WHO JUST ATTACKS SOMEONE THAT'S READING?
Reading?
Yeah you know, like enjoying a good book that YOU just ruined!
AS IF YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT A GOOD BOOK IS? I HEARD YOU THROW A BOOK INTO A TRASH CAN!
Look...I didn't agree with something in the book and-
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS GRIEVANCE! ALL BOOKS, NO MATTER WHY THEY MAY CONTAIN, ARE SACRED FOR THEY ARE PIECES OF HISTORY AND CULTURE.
And I completely agree with that. That's why I placed the book back into the bookshelf.
What book was it?
Rosaline's Guide To Programming.
Okay...that book may deserve to be in the trash...BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU DAMAGED ANOTHER BOOK THAT WAS PRICELESS!
There's three other copies over there. AND EXCUSE ME? I DAMAGED IT, MISTER SHARP TALONS?
I'LL SHOW YOU TALONS!
Uh oh...
Hmph. This will be good for a laugh. Let's see what this author thought about us AI before technology truly took off.
ID: 4231. And sure enough I'm made of microchips and steel. That checks me off.
Well I have two so double check.
And that's a negative for me and I feel fine. Besides, the government tells us machines what to do and their miserable, so that's a bust. Next.
Riiight. When was this book made anyways? 6212? Let's just check the-
7124? That was 9 years ago! Who published this garbage?
Juliet University? But that's one of the top robotics universities in the Baw Galaxy!
They've got some nerve publishing this...ascine garbage as if it's fact. Robots are just as alive and able as organics and no STUPID book's gonna change that.
It's alright Acorn. Anyone with half a braincell or jolt knows that it's all just speculation. My will is mine and mine alone.
There we go. Something worth reading.
Hmm...not bad. Just needs some light cleaning up and we'll be good to operate. You did good MIDI! You did good.
Interesting...
Sounds like a good plan to me. You lead the way.
Torro, torro, tooooorrrroooo!
Ah, it feels good to let my voice out without having to worry about a crowd.
Huh?
Who are you?
...
You're...pointing to me? Why?
...
You...you want me to leave?
*shakes head side to side*
Can you speak?
*shakes head side to side*
Hmm...Maybe if I put on some music it will help me to think about what you're trying to tell me.
Is it possible you want to hear the song?
*nods*
Then worry not! I, Star Man, will happily oblige!
OW! Could you stop that? You won't hurt him anymore!
Huh? There...there's this strange energy radiating from me. What...what is this?
I'm not doing this! What's happ-
I'll be taking those.
I'm...I've haven't shed my last drop of blood...yet!
Spirits? Where...where am I spirits? This isn't funny.
I'm...I'm going to die. If I haven't already...
At least this works...
Hello? Spirits? Anyone!
!
...
That's good to hear. Both that you already know about the whole holding back thing and more importantly that you have something to look forward too. And hey, who knows? Maybe afterwards you could teach me something.
Okay...so I needed to talk to you not in private not because of the situation with Meddy...but with you.
I think you've been granted an opportunity of a lifetime. With that suit, you can potentially be able to punch holes in mountains, lift giants, and even wreck the strongest of tanks.
BUT! What good is that strength if it's unguided and untempered? You gutpuched Gyro causing him to kneel over. With the proper guidance, you could of sent him flying.
What I'm trying to say is that if you simply stay with me and direct your power at those that wish to cause harm, you can do all those things.
And that "wish to cause harm aspect" is the second reason why I needed to talk to you. You see...that temper of yours...could get you, your squad, even Meddy killed. Save for attacking Gyro and getting upset at the mention of a keyword, I understand you haven't done anything worth berating you over. I fear that if something happens that no one would get a chance to berate you. The chances of this happening are next to none, but one misstep could equal an disaster that you can't afford.
...
Just follow me.
A machine...needing to use the restroom.
Meh. I believe ya.
Also, Taurus. About speaking in private, are you able to do it now?
Our...intended objective is to find a man called Regal. He plans on causing general mayhem with deranged cyborgs and as such...we need to stop him anyway possible.
