*Looks up, considering the thought, before finally answering*
I don't accept the existence of destiny. At least, not in this sense. But I fully accept the circumstances of my life.

@Legend

I don't think it really matters what you call it, but an equally fair opinion regardless.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Gifted, yes, but the path was admittedly chosen for me. Not that I'm bothered by that reality.

@Legend

Not the type to be perturbed by destiny either, or at least the idea of it. I suppose if you love it and are good at it, there's no reason to be bothered by it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Not quite. Consider my name predestination, given some unusual circumstances of my birth.

@Legend

Imagine being so good at science that it's foretold as you're born.
*Laughs*
You don't have to, of course, but that's how crazy it sounds.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

A bit too on the nose, according to some.

@Legend

Did you name yourself? Change it somewhere along the way? I could be easily convinced of that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Chuckles*
Perhaps I'm visualizing the designs of my own labs.

@Legend

A man of science? You have quite a fitting name, then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And they posed no threat once activated?

@Legend

Maybe you've painted the wrong picture. They were autonomous worker robots, not combat models.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Did residual drones cause you any trouble?

@Legend

*Laughs*
Opposite conclusion again. Powering them back up is how I managed to get the thing running again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then you faced few obstacles securing the device?

@Legend

Not securing it, so much as getting to powered on and functioning after years of collecting dust. These things were typically run by several people or drones at once.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Ah. Not by choice, in that case.

@Legend

*Chuckles and shakes my head*
I sure hope that it wasn't a choice.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How would an item like that end up abandoned?

@Legend

Less of an item, more of a structure. And it was abandoned when the people who owned it were wiped out in the collapse, for certain.
