Ash. That name has been noted. Presumably he has a last name as well- KITT had a database of common American last names that could fit him, but there was no point in guessing something as trivial as that. His last name would merely be a fun tidbit of knowledge. Confusingly, the man- Ash- tried to shake hands with the horse. This would surely prove to be difficult, given the fact that horses don't have hands. Ash asked whether there was anyone else aside from the five of them. [i]Five[/i]? Hold on. Assuming KITT's cover as a completely normal, ordinary car was not yet blown, who did Ash mean by that? There was Ash himself, the horse, and the pink-haired teenager. Did Ash come across one of the others, such as the other teenagers or the glitch? Or perhaps KITT had his chronology confused. Perhaps they already heard him speaking about Michael and feeling insulted by being called an [i]spycar[/i]. Perhaps his cover really was blown, and Ash simply had previous experience with autonomous, highly advanced automobiles such as yours truly. He perhaps knew KITT was no mere self driving car with a funny sounding horn, but an intelligent being capable of taking decisions on his own. As KITT was analysing the debacle, Ash mentioned something about leaving this place to look for the others. He recommended the "two of them", presumably the teenager and the horse, to join him because of "deadites". Good. In that case, there would be nobody around to potentially disrupt KITT's connection to this system. Ash shouted something about a Scot before- All of a sudden, the pink-haired teenager jumped upright and went off in what KITT assumed were the ramblings of a madman. KITT barely had the time to process the information revealed to him by the teenager, as the latter dashed away in the direction of the other teenager and the glitch. It was not as easy to baffle an advanced super computer, but this teenager had sparked a bit of confusion in the micro processor. [i]Isekai animes[/i]? What had Japanese entertainment to do with this situation? What does this guy mean with "a new life in a new world"? [i]Fanfiction[/i]? …KITT decided to discard this information as garbage data. He could not synthesize any new conclusions about this, other than the fact that the youngster clad in yellow is possibly very, very confused. It was just KITT and the horse in the room. After consideration, KITT figured that playing the waiting game for the grand reveal of being a talking car made no sense in this situation. Beings are not just brought into strange control centers for no reason. Ash's point about being brought here had priority in KITT's thought processes. They had to have been brought here with some kind of purpose. And if such a wide array of individuals was brought here, that must mean KITT would need their peculiar skillsets. Ash for instance seemed useful, as his mechanical arm was surely capable of some impressive feats of strength. KITT was still vexed as to what a couple of teenagers and a horse could bring to the table, but perhaps time will show. [color=firebrick]"I suppose I might as well introduce myself, Rarity. You are currently in this room with the Knight Industries 2000's Micro Processor. K.I.T.T. for short. If you prefer, you can simply call me "KITT""[/color]. KITT stayed silent for a while. He was not sure whether the horse- being a horse- would understand him, so he gave it a bit of time to let that sentence sink in. Then, he continued. [color=firebrick]"We are in a… precarious predicament, Rarity. I have calculated various possible scenarios of what has happened to us and what could possibly happen, but I am unable to pinpoint any of them as likely. I am currently attempting to gather information by… connecting to these computer systems. If I have discovered anything of note, I will let you know"[/color]. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [center][img]https://userguides.eu.playstation.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/HZD_GamerGuideLogo.png[/img] [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=thunderjaw+sound&oq=thunderjaw+sound&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l4.4983j0j7&client=tablet-android-samsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#]Thunderjaw Soundscape[/url][/center] [b]LOCATION: Open Field[/b] [hider=MACHINE LOGS] 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:09 RUNNING IDENTITY SCAN 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:10 NO MATCHES 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:10 (3) INDIVIDUALS DETECTED 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:11 (2) INDIVIDUALS UNKNOWN 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:12 RUNNING SPECIES RECOGNITION 3040 - 08 - 12 13:12:13 (1) QUERCUS SP.

And who the Eclipse actually were. Weirdly, Redmaw didn't recall them looking this… strange. It had seen them stalking about the arid Spearshafts before and even had to prevent them from messing with a Lancehorn herd more than once, but was never able to get a good look at their faces. They always wore these weird, white masks. These Eclipse, however? No, their faces were fully visible. They also wore peculiar clothing. Redmaw couldn't make out which tribe they belonged to. Except for perhaps one: there was a red-haired lady wearing clothes made out of plant matter. At first glance and from this distance, she seemed familiar to a huntress Redmaw once heard about, but no. They were different people. From what Redmaw knew, it also wouldn't make sense for her to be Eclipse. Maybe this lady was Utaru? That would explain the clothing, but not the lack of markings. It was the closest thing Redmaw had as a proper designated tribe for the woman. More remarkably, she was able to grow grass of extreme length and strength! She could control plants! Redmaw's gaze lingered on her with some fascination as she sat in her oak tree. Most of the other Eclipse were men, clad in all sorts of weird clothing that was unfamiliar to Redmaw. One of them appeared to stay back, much like Redmaw himself. This man was clad in a strange, purple uniform. He also wore a mask, so unfortunately Redmaw couldn't see his face. Another man whose face was invisible to it was clad in armor. Unlike the masked gentleman, his face was concealed by a helmet. He was battle ready, that much was clear. With him was a child, also dressed in a peculiar attire. Moving on, Redmaw noticed a blue haired man. He was unremarkable, but appeared to be commanding some type of… dog? That's weird. Redmaw had never seen such an animal before. It had memories of canines, but never actually saw a living one. The animal didn't seem to be of any species Redmaw knew, either. It seemed to be surprisingly adept at combat, and confusingly, could breathe fire, as if it were a Scorcher! No animal Redmaw knew of could do such feats. It thought it was biologically impossible for an animal to spit fire, but here we are. Nature is a wonderful mystery. Lastly, there was another man wearing a tremendously large suit. Only his head was visible, even: for a human, it would be hard to strike this man down. The man bravely danced between the machine's lasers, and- "Advance!" Redmaw froze for a short while. A command? Yes. A command. The Eclipse were dealing with a machine of unknown origin. They want it [i]dead[/i]. Redmaw wants it [i]dead[/i]. It should [i]die[/i]. Redmaw reared its head towards the sky, and a metallic, electrical roar escaped from its throat as it shook with its mandibles. [color=red]"CHRRRRRRRYYYYYYOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRGGGGH"[/color] Then, it too approached the bipedal robot. It was time to end this threat. [b]CA-LUNK CA-LUNK CA-LUNK CA-LUNK[/b]
