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

@Armed Forces

How would they have gotten in here though?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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

Oh the humanity!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

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

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

…
I guess they aren’t using it anymore.

@Armed Forces

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

<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

*Stares, horrified*
They had a family!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Timed event. Huh. Mom mentioned dungeons like these.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

You got me.

@Galvanize

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

<Snipped quote by 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*

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*After the terminals take a second to boot up, they force display on their screens “Local Power Mode. Estimated Time Before Shutoff: 00:02:14:38”, and the metallic door in our path slowly starts to slide open*

@Armed Forces

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well-

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Nothing happens for several seconds, but after a long silence, you can hear a loud whirring behind the walls, as the electronics around us suddenly power on. A metallic latch seals shut over the cylinders’ slots, and the terminals power on simultaneously to the emergency lights around us shutting off, and loud mechanisms banging around in the walls by the door*

@Armed Forces

We're gonna diiiiiiiiie!

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Because you manipulate yourself?

@Galvanize

This is an attempt to manipulate me. Lucky for me, I see through your tricks.
*Crosses my arms and nods with a satisfied expression*
I'm wise to your schemes, Shadow Operator.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

How would I do that? It’s all around me at home.

@Galvanize

Nice try, but you're not getting any plots from me, nope.
*Bends my index fingers against my temples*
My mind is like a steel trap, resistant to all sorts of manipulation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I don’t really care too much about the city, it’s very nice and open despite the planet being practically just a massive ocean.

@Galvanize

*Gasps*
You're going to steal the ocean!?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I am thorough, thank you.

@Galvanize

So what's next for the city? What sort of eeeeeevil plans do you have in mind?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I’ve went through the immigration process through and through, thank you very much.

@Galvanize

Thor-ough! Look at you, being a manipulative mastermind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

But I’m metal, not shadow. Shadow dragons are weird and cringy.

@Galvanize

That gets the feds even further off your trail! Strategic brilliance!
