Please.

@Valiance

*Leads you to the front of the base and steps inside*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Lets go, planting my feet onto the ground with a solid thud, and looks up at you with a wide smile*
My end of the bargain. Roland.
*Holds out my hand, still smiling*

@Valiance

*Shakes you hand once*
Data Stream. Let's take this someplace warmer, shall we?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks down, still holding on*
Our stop?

@Valiance

*Steps out into the snow in person*
Indeed it is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Puts my other hand on the map on my belt, to make sure it doesn’t come loose*
Speedy service, alright!

@Valiance

*My hologram spins around to face you*
It would be rude to keep you waiting.
*The drone abruptly stops and drops a dozen feet above the ground*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Analyzes the drone silently for just another moment*
Awesome.
*Grabs the body of a drone, making sure to not touch the rotors*

@Valiance

*It yanks on your hand and zips you to the base, the other two in close pursuit*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It doesn’t feel very personable. And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say I’m at the bad end of a few weapons. But that’s probably just paranoia, huh?
*Laughs*

@Valiance

*Half smiles*
Of course. There won’t be a single weapon within striking range during your time here. Please, take a drone and hold tightly.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Frowns*
I was told introductions here were more welcoming and friendly. Can’t we at least introduce ourselves face to face? The novelty will be soiled otherwise.
*Smiles wide and rubs the back of my head*

@Valiance

*Frowns*
Is this not considered a friendly greeting? I sent you a welcome parade.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*My momentum slows just as I reach the top, such that I gracefully step onto the ground once reaching the peak, and I look at one of them*
I must have your attention now. Mind showing me the door? It’s a bit cold out today.

@Valiance

*The robot triplets project an image of my face in front of you*
Please state your name and occupation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Shakes my arms, before doing a light jump*
Hup…
*Jumps again*
Hup…
*Jumps a third time, suddenly jetting through the air toward the top of the mountain*
Ho!

@Valiance

*Three additional drones hum around you, circling in random directions*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Watches it in silence for a moment, until it disappears from view, then rubs my hands together as I walk toward the base of the mountain*

@Valiance

*Watches the screen of the device, my thumb hovering over a scarlet “fire” button*
