[@Hokum] [s]Gosh dang do I have stuf stuff to deal with[/s] [b]As Ernest[/b] Before Ernest Jr could defend himself and clarify that Ernest had nothing to do with the wave, Ernest was teleported to wherever he ended up. Ernest Jr let out the following automated message: "Error. Contact with The Ernest has been broken. This unit can not function without contact with Ernest. On behalf of The Ernest, I apologize for any inconvenience. Deactivating..." And then turned off and fell over. ........................ Ernest himself is greatly confused. Still being affected by amnesia, he doesn't even know what an elephant is, let alone why three of them are in his cargo hold making a ruckus. Ernest checks his terminal. [quote] ERROR! AN ERROR IN QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS DISCOMBOBULATED SURROUNDINGS! WARNING! HUMAN OCCUPANTS HAVE DISAPPEARED! WARNING! THREE INSTANCES OF "ELEPHANT" HAVE APPEARED IN STORAGE AREA B! WARNING! NO LONGER IN ORBIT OF OTIMEGUS TERRITORY! ERROR! CAN NOT PINPOINT LOCATION ON NAVIGATOR! ERROR! LOST CONTACT WITH REPAIR POD "ERNEST JR". [/quote] And probably some other errors as well. Ernest checks the terminal for what an elephant is. The terminal couldn't tell him anything, other than their name. He should probably do something about them, since they are probably going to damage to holding cell and hurt themselves like this... "Elephants. I am the Ernest. I understand you are stressed, but I must insist you calm down to avoid hurting yourselves. If you can understand me, please stomp your left front foot on the ground Three times to confirm your intelligence and ability to understand english." Ernest says over coms. He is not sure if Elephants are intelligent or not. He has no reason to believe they are, but on the other hand, giant space ants. Ernst figures that the best course of action is to probably get closer to that star, and try to use it to recalculate his navigation system. He starts up his mian engine and prepares to teleport closer to the star. (Hokum, if nothing prevents him from teleporting, you can assume that he does [hr] [b]As Siren[/b] "Commander Aoa!" Siren yells out, trying to grab him as he disappears. Doesn't go well, as you might imagen. [b][i]Drip![/i][/b] Siren looks down. Blood. Is dripping down from behind her face plate. [i]That can't be right![/i] she thinks to herself. [i]I'm an R-Core! I can't bleed![/i] Her (already bad) vision starts getting very blurry, since her face plate filling up with blood faster than it's leaking out. She runs over to the nearest mirror or otherwise reflective surface. She takes off her face plate and looks at her face. Somehow, despite being fully mechanical, biological blood of some sort is oozing from directly behind her visual sensors. This shouldn't be possible, and needless to say she's kinda freaking out. Then she hears a voice from behind her saying "SIREN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Without thinking she turns around to look at the voice. Without her face plate attached, her excellent hearing is impaired. [b]And As Rodia[/b] Rorod, who luckily wasn't teleported, looks in horror. Without her face plate, he can see that she's an R-1 Core. "You... you have been lying to us! You... you are a war machine! You're an R-1 like Gamma!" He finally says. Siren responds, much quieter than normal without her face plate, but still noticeably angry "You know what else I am? BLEEDING! Never mind that I lied to you, we have bigger problems to deal with! Like the fact that a ROBOT is BLEEDING, something only biological lifeforms are supposed to do." She pops her face plate back on, restoring her hearing and voice. She then grabs a conveniently nearby glass, and lets some of her blood fall into it. She then hands it to Rorod. "Take this to the lab and get it tested, I want to know what type of blood I am bleeding and how we can stop it!" Rorod: "I'm not sure if you noticed but HALF OF THE R-CORE ARE MISSING, INCLUDING FIVE OF THE UNFISHISHED R-CORE!" Siren: "Ok, fine! That's a major issue! Make sure the ones we still have can get finished now that we have the metal to finish them. And while you are at it, get the blood tested! I'm going to contact the Sporn, see if they know anything. Rorod is getting tired of arguing with Siren, and goes to get that done. The process of finishing the five Unfinished R-Core that are present, either by using the Sporn technology (if they have it yet, it's not clear to me if they do), or simply the factory if they haven't. ............................. On the Sporn Planet.... Lars: "What's going on?!" Gamma, very casually for the situation: "I dunno." Lars: "Are you even concerned about this?!" Gamma: "Not really." Lars: "We're clearly in danger!" Gamma: "Correction, YOU are in danger." Lars: "What are you talking about?! Your resistance chip won't protect you even if it's fixed by now! Ugh, whatever, I'm going to try to find out what's going on. Have fun dying!" Gamma: "I'll actually try to avoid dying. But assuming I can't will do." Lars then storms off to try to find a Sporn who is willing to help him. So does Gamma, actually, but in a different direction, and far more casually. [hr] [b]As Ramrod[/b] Much to Quote's dismay, Ramrod still have enough control over his mind to know what he's doing. The machine he is building is coming together.... A spaceship. Again it will be sentient, like the last ship he made, a bit smaller so it will fit on THIS spaceship, made out of the same material as the first one.... Wait! Ramrod is remembering more of that night! The spaceship was sentient! And he didn't crash it, he sent it out on it's own! So, who knows what happened to it... now, what was its name? Armrest? No, that's ridiculous, even for a drunk plush cat. Ear-West? That's hardly a name! Wait, he's got it! It was The Ern- Ramrod train of thought was interrupted by him tripping over a wrench. He looks over at it. "WHY IS THIS MRAOH'ING WRECH ON THE GROUND?! THAT'S A MRAOH'ING SAFETY HAZARD!" Then he grabs the wrench, sticks some of his web on it, and furiously throws it upwards, sticking it to the ceiling. He immediately regrets the decision as he remembers he needed that specific wrench right now. Through one way or another, he continues working on his new spaceship.
