The plastics a d other stuff added onto it is gross. And solder tastes gross too.

*licks all my fingers in quick succession*

@Galvanize

Noted… Do you have a favorite?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Follows suit and collects small parts here and there as we walk*
You think that the explosion tubes were just for emergency power?

@Webmaster

Might be multipurpose. They sure act well as unique identifiers for security, in most instances.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

How would they have gotten in here though?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Oh the humanity!

@Webmaster

The power only died when we got on the elevator. Who knows how long they’ve been here?
*Steps over some of the parts and trudges down the hallway*
Could also have found another way in. Or made one.

I won’t eat any computing parts. They don’t taste good nor do I want to waste a potential of figuring out what happened.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*is nibbling on a arm piece*
Recycling really.

@Galvanize

Why do computing parts taste bad? What makes them different?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

What else could it possibly be? That's the only logical outcome.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Stares, horrified*
They had a family!

@Webmaster

I can think of a few things relating to our unwelcome guests… The unwelcome guests that aren’t us, I mean.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

These things are beyond repair, I’m doing them a service of consuming them and turning them into a better metal.
*quickly consumes the rest of the part*

@Galvanize

I don’t think they’re infused like the walls are, so there’s no harm in it, probably.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Claps*
Woo! So about that agenting...

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Gasps*
I saw this in a movie once! They tore each other apart trying to escape. But that means only the most powerful one is left...
*Hunches into a ready pose and cuts my eyes to each side*

@Webmaster

If this is a robot uprising, I think that might be a best case scenario for whatever caused this.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*takes a bite out the one I’m holding*
Quality stuff.

@Galvanize

…
I guess they aren’t using it anymore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*grabs a large part*
What were these?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Well, if the doors close, I can either bust us out or eat a hole to escape.

@Galvanize

Robots, it looks like.
*Scans the scattered parts around us*
Working drones, probably. I see no sign of weaponry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Timed event. Huh. Mom mentioned dungeons like these.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

You got me.

@Galvanize

Maybe we can find a more reliable source of power down here. Or a security station, so we can get out before anyone gets hurt.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Ooh!
*Runs up to the door and holds my face up to it to peer through early with one eye*

@Webmaster

*The door ahead opens up to a sleek looking hallway that matches the color scheme of the room we stand in, and scattered about its floors are the parts of what used to be robots of some kind, now torn to shreds*
