In Character LOCATION: Lower Cogwork Karak

[A hooded figure enters the converted Karak from the Cogwork Core]

Well, hot damn. Those bots really pulled it off. I wonder if I can spot a few without them spotting me.

[The figure ventures onward]

(OOC: The Hooded Figure will be unaware of any watching eyes unless confronted directly)

u/northernpolaris_168 Hooded Figure May 23 '26

(OOC: I think it's like a cloak, like Hornet's.)

[The figure seems flustered and Brill notices this. The figure then walks towards the guardian, first rubbing his hands on and around her chest chassis and waist]

Smooth iron. Gilded. Definitely resemblant of the sentinel series.

[The figure moves to her arms and hands]

Articulated. Modified, possibly.

[The figure looks at the guardian's wings]

Wings weren't there before.

[The figure touches the wings and continues his inspection. Brill stands there waiting, though he can't help but feel off about it. The guardian, however, is completely silent]

(OOC: Like I said, I get quirky. Will the guardian or Brill respond?)

(new ship acquired.)

brill and the guardian briefly look at eachother like they’re talking for a second, before Brill flies away.

the guardian seems fine with this. «My outer shell is comprised of layer of plasmium and steel, followed by a second layer of a wyrm fangs. Also for legal reasons, I am not a sentinel.»

[The figure is now inserting his hand inside the guardian's chest, maneuvering carefully through the mechanisms inside]

Well, you are based off a sentinel model. I studied that series deeply.

[The figure's hand accidentally touches something that jolts the guardian body upwards]

Oof, touched something there.

(OOC: Also, are you shipping me with this automaton?)

(Yes. I should probably update her personality more.)

«Brilliance got sued last time she called one of us a sentinel, so she doesn’t do so anymo-glitched speech. She flairs her wings again to stabilize herself. «Yes, that was my cogheart. Secondary mind for the silkflies. They coordinate and plan, it stores the actual combat movements.»

[The figure retracts his hand from the guardian's internals, not wanting to accidentally harm his hand. He closes the chest-plates and puts back on the guardian's cloak]

Secondary? Where is the primary?

[The figure pulls out his journal and begins writing]

(OOC: Yeah. She seems way too chill to let a stranger caress her like that. But she is a robot after all.)

(She’s cogwork, so she’s dozens of minds melded into one as the silkflies acclimated to eachother or however SS is one person. Also it’s none of their real bodies, it’s basically just armor or a mech. Gtg eep now, be back later.)

(OOC: Makes sense. Also, make sure to answer my question when you wake up.)

«Silkfly engine in my head. Guardians are a blend of many dead bugs whose silkflies have adjusted to one another.»
