Oh! Okay! Hanging from a ledge, unexpected, but it is a A-Okay! You can feel your fingers scraping down the smooth ice, and you are having difficulty raising your other arm - gosh golly, please not now - but if you just keep trying...

Oh no! Your bag’s sliding down the sloped ledge, and with the help of that cruel villain, gravity, the things inside pushed through and out! They are:

A plasma torch, used for cutting, melting, and welding. Could get through obstacles, fix up a few things, destroy things if need be. You’ve also heard of bots threatening other bots with these, but that is very mean! A little deterrent couldn’t hurt though... A shame you can’t melt your way to safety right now.

A grappling hook, used for climbing, swinging, and attaching. You could swing on over to hard-to-reach places with this, or climb up all sorts of walls, or nab some distant object. You’ve certainly used it to escape a sticky situation more than once; silly bots are always caught off guard. You don’t think it’ll help on this smooth, sharp ice ledge though.

Ah! You can only catch one! Which one, which one? Please help!

Neither. If neither one helps you right now, and you're in danger of falling to your death, just focus on getting back up. Fun gadgets < life.

You don't have enough arms available to catch any while hanging off a ledge.

Oh! I am sorry, I did not explain myself well at all! My apologies!

I do indeed have a second arm, as was built into me at the old Faktori itself. Unfortunately, as hunky dory it would be to get that arm up and pulling me to safety, its having a bit of trouble.

We all make mistakes, some of us get lost in a cave, some of us spend a bit too long looking into and marveling at a fascinating pit, annnnnnnnd some of us buy the cheap arm repairs instead of the good ones. I think I can move the arm enough to catch one of the falling things though!

.....My name is Toy, by the way. Hi!

Detach the deadweight arm, then having made yourself lighter pull yourself back up and look for a safe path down.

Grab the plasma torch, it seems like a much more versatile tool.

grab grappling hook, use it to grab plasma torch.

Detaching your deadweight arm sounds like the smartest idea. Unfortunately, the ability to quickly remove and interchange your parts is not a function of your model line, as your line of work required bodies that couldn’t be easily taken apart.

…A fall from this height would probably render that moot though.

The fun gadgets fall and you try to swing your bad arm. With a uncooperative SCREECH, the parts grind together to barely move a few inches. But it’s enough.

You examine the damaged area.

There is a very big hole in your chest. You can see wires and tubing sticking out. Some of them are still dripping fluid. You are missing many vital parts. Some of them were directly linked to your abilities to move, remember, and think.

This is impossible.

You cannot be standing right now, much less thinking. You should still be skewered, mind blank and body deactivated. Yet here you stand. You try to calculate the chances of this happening, but you wonder if there had been any chance at all. Happening to fall on something as sharp as that, it had an incredibly low chance but it had been possible.

The sight of the hole...the impossibility, a part of you is in awe while another is trying to connect reality to logic, and it...

You stretch and flex your bad arm, partially to put the attention of your overheating processors on something else for a moment.

Your arm screeches and squeaks as the rusty joints grind against each other. But, they are definitely loosening up and getting usable.

...guess we're gonna start wandering around to find a mechanic.

We are climbing back up there and getting the plasma torch. We no longer fear death, as it has passed us by.

Your inexplicable functionality is a problem for a talented mechanic, and not of immediate concern. The whys and hows can be explored at a later date.

For the moment, where the hell are you? Where were you before you fell, and what were you doing there?

Aw, that’s fine. It only means that you’re gonna have to choose another way out of here, and that means exploration! Going forth into the unknown! It’ll be great!

Now, after some looking around, you found two ways out of here. There was a third, a thinner part of the wall, probably hollow behind it, and a plasma torch would have made its way through. Oh well! There are things a grappling hook can do that a torch can’t.

At the other end of the pit is another ledge, one that your hook can definitely reach. Oh, who knows what you’ll find up here, venturing through halls of ice and frost. Maybe you can find more wonders! The sight of this big empty space or pit was wonderful when you saw it, falling aside.

Tucked away in a dark corner is a hole in the ground, big enough for you to slide through. Looking at it, you can tell that it was clearly made by robot hands or drills or whatever, though it was probably made a long while back, not recently. Still, the artificial aspect does tug at your curiosity. Why here? And where does it lead?

You don’t know which is more probable to be an escape route. As for where and why…..well….how about we talk about it once we’re walking a path. Or rather, grappling a path. Or sliding.

Hrrm.
Meta says that ledge is hook-based.
the thin wall was torch path, which we now can't get.
And the hole is a third option if we don't want to do the hook thing.
Which amkes me wonder what it's got that there's a path that doesn't require hook or torch...
I vote for the LEDGE, as I think we can just backtrack to the hole and possibly use the hook to rappel down it instead of just sliding down and hoping that if we land on a spike we can once again not die somehow.

Go for ledge!

You haven't yet told us what you were doing in this wilderness in the first place.

Go for the ledge.

Go jump down the hole.

The unconventional opening of that path fills you with a sense of pride. Instead of wondering again which path to take now, you do what you planned to do before that clever idea, and shoot out the hook.

CLINK!

Now then, while you’re busy climbing and walking - time for some remembering.

You are Toy, and you come from a little town called Paisel. Cute, quiet, on the outskirts of the tundra. Compared to other stays, you had lived there for a while: 7 years, 161 days, 3 minutes, and 49 seconds.

W-well. No need to think about that sort of nasty stuff, right? Gotta stay optimistic! Yeah, happy things. You know where the robot went. The only path out of Paisel goes to Kayvold, which has the only train from these parts to the mainland.

So, you’re trying to get to Kayvold as fast as you can, and you took the ice caves because they’re supposed to be an excellent shortcut. Yes, you might have gotten a little lost, but that’s okay. You need to find that stranger, and when you find them you’ll…you’ll……?

This is…

Your footsteps crunch and crack atop torn remains. The tunnel is covered in them, scattered and splayed as if deprived of their use. Lightless optics stare from the damaged bodies leaning against the walls.

>>730027

You walk down the hall, examining each bot to see if there’s anyone you can help, but, well. Holes torn open, limbs flung aside, parts and wires everywhere.

It reminds you of the hole in yourself, and that you should be in their pla - wow, what a dreadful line of thought! Let’s put that away, play pretend that I never said such a negative thing.

But there’s no way they were all impaled on the same spike, right? That doesn’t rip off limbs, and plus they all had to get up here somehow, you don’t think every single one of them had a grappling hook. At least, you don’t think so. Something DID this to them, you just don’t know why it would be so mean.

You ask the robot before you if it can hear you, if it can sense you, if it’s okay.

You ask them again these questions again and again and again, as you have to all the other bodies.

It certainly is!

You take the damaged CPU, not bad, not bad for salvage! You quickly check to see if the body is carrying any other useful tidbits.

There certainly is a lot to harvest up here, mostly pieces of hardware that you could use for trading.

Strangely enough, you do not find a single battery in all of the wreckage, and you are 95% sure those do not just fly away.

In all of the wreckage, you find some parts that could easily fit you, given an okay mechanic. A special hand here, a particular kind of limb there, maybe a certain design of arm or whatever. Some of the things you find are.....

Amid the hall of spare parts, you find:

Spider legs! It took a little while to actually separate the legs from the, well, the rest of it, but legs were made for walking, and that’s just what you’ll do with these. Once you find a mechanic that is. For now, you tie it to your back with inner wires from the robots around you.

A lower arm with a hidden blade! Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich youwilldefinitelyneverhurtanyonewithitever. Right? It can be used for, uh, cutting things like rope, wire, um…..something something something that is not a being that is either receptive to pain and/or afraid of harm. You stick the blade back into the arm and tuck the part into a space under your coat.

Some sort of special eye; it fits you, but you can’t just rip out your own optic unit and pop another one in like a…..well. You’re called Toy for a couple of reasons but not that. You don’t know what it does, but you tuck it into a pocket for later.

You grab a couple handfuls of various spare parts that look somewhat valuable; it ain’t the same as currency, but most bots will trade something for spare parts. There are some pieces that resemble the ones that should be where the big gaping hole is, so you take those too.

You are actually already able to speak German. In fact, you note with some gleeful pride, you are able to speak most languages known to the world! Pretty nifty, you would say. Came with the job.

Besides a couple of Military-Class bots, no models you are aware of need any sort of self-destruct function. Then again, you don’t know many models, a fact you would like to change. Plus, you don’t even know what that sort of spare part would look like. Probably for the best you didn’t see any.

You do not find a single robotic penis. This upsets you.

Yes, you’re right, there is a 97.4% percent chance that the state of these bots is due to some unfortunate battery stealing. The remaining 2.6% consists of very specific natural disasters, mountain cults, and incredibly bad luck.

You are worried. Yes. But you gotta keep your chin up! You just found a plethora of spare parts, a good turn of luck! Okay, not good for the bots you got them from, but you’re trying to pay attention to the nice things.

You wanted to do some more exploring anyway!

Clicking and clacking echoes faintly around the room. The sounds fade in and out, quiet but there, with no clear pattern. The noise emanates from the hole in the ground. You don’t know if that’s a sign that you should go in now or just the opposite. The noises weren’t there before; should you check out what they are now, or avoid them until they go away?

A hole gapes in the wall, the result of your sudden bout of slinging stalagmites. You could go through there first instead of the hole, maybe if you want to wait out the clicks and clacks while seeing whatever else is in this little pit.

The noise continues. You don’t know what it means.

Investigate, just don't fall in.

>You do not find a single robotic penis. This upsets you.

Somewhere in these caverns there's a murderous tentacle bot, stitched together from stolen penises!

Ask if they are hurt or stuck. And ask what their name is.

look for a way to get closer but be careful they aren't a monster with good mimic abilities.

You are nameless, for there are none around to call you.

Your battery is CRITICALLY LOW, as it has been for the past month. You have only staved off a complete shut down by having stayed in a deep REST MODE for that time, until someone called out to you 10 minutes ago.

You state the essentials in all capitals.

These mountains have been yours for years. Enormous, immovable, immortal structures, all of them in your POSSESSION. In these depths, you have attacked and taken the batteries of travelers who thought themselves clever for taking the rumored mountain shortcut.

It was INGENIOUS of you to plant that rumor right before leaving town.

You even let the occasional traveler go, to give credence to the rumor. Missing machines? Lost in the immense mountains. How very perfect.

In these depths, you are in total control.

A month ago, you attacked a bot that you soon discovered was Military-Class. You neutralized them, but took HEAVY WOUNDS in the process. You were not lying when you said that you were missing legs. Your current mobility is extremely limited. You can exit your hole, but climbing to the ledge with the scrap is outside of your ability.

You spoke to that bot, TOY, by mimicking their sounds, cutting and mixing up individual words and numbers they said. You needed to speak in a voice that seemed fragile, light, helpless. In the past, you have discovered that the directives of some robots will urge them to help when sensing those features in a voice. It is more useful than your flat monotone.

But. They still walked away. They stated that they would come back with legs, but their knowledge of the remains means that they have come to the conclusion that you are the cause of all of the damage. They must have; it is only logical. And the next step for them would be to escape from you. It would be completely illogical to do anything else.

You need their battery or you will cease to exist. What actions shall you take?

you must leave the hole and find a new ambush location.

You could try asking nicely.

You must activate full combat mode immediately and jump them while their back is turned.

In less than a second, you look over your current tools and abilities.

Your body consists of several tentacles sprouting from a core body. At the ends of some of these tendrils are sharp claws, meant for snatching and tearing.

However, you have modified yourself several times in the past. Perhaps some of those tendrils have completely different tools on their ends. Perhaps you had attached parts to or otherwise modified your body in some way. Perhaps something more passive such as your sight module or other senses. Or something else entirely.

SYSTEMS CHECK: What tools and abilities are you equipped with?

>>736212
A grappling hook for one tentacle. Not powerful enough to lift you off the ground by itself, but it helps you get around/climb better. (using other tentacles to help you move as well)

Thermal/electrical lens. Lets you see them coming before they see you. Helps in hunting down people trying to hide.

A tool/graft set that had let you assimilate some parts you deemed useful. (what allowed you to modify yourself in the first place)

Grappling hook, if it can't pull you then others can be pulled TO you.

A face fulla knives

Grappling hook would imply the ability to get up on the ledge. So we definitely don't have that.

How about: a shield, a sensor array, a cutting saw, a multitool for precision work, a welding torch, a sledgehammer, and a few energy weapons salvaged from the military robot, but cannot be used due to low battery.
For abilities let's say you're well versed in robotic repair and manufacture.

>Grappling hook would imply the ability to get up on the ledge
Mc has grappling hook and cant get up the ledge. (the big one, right? Not the pit one) Besides, I assume he's big/heavy, so the hook wouldn't be able to really pull him; just act as a neat kind of arm and help him out with the lack of legs. As for the ledge; he couldn't really grab it on anything solid enough and the lack of legs prevents him from using it as an anchor and 'walking' his way up, which he could normally do.

Other stuff seems fine.

>>736247
I assumed Pit Monster Robot was saying it couldn't get up on the ledge with the wrecked robots in order to chase the battery down.

>>736253

"You can exit your hole, but climbing to the ledge with the scrap is outside of your ability."

Correct. And the semi-grappling hook is fine. :)

A shame that such an existence can be endangered by just one mistake - especially if the mistake involves a military bot. You lay on the floor, having nearly collapsed after climbing out of the hole with merely two claws. Who could possibly move around with only two mobility limbs???

Your MISSING PARTS must be somewhere nearby, though the exact location escapes you. You don’t know how much has changed while you were in sleep mode.

Could you smash the ledge to make a ramp so you can get up to the opening?

You must stop them before they get too far.

The proposal has merit. A ramp would indeed be helpful. To carry out this plan, you require something to break the ledge with. You see nothing useful for that in the vicinity, and look around for -

There is a hole in the wall. A hole that was not there before. What did they do? What did they see?

Still. There is far more to this room than the spike jutting inversely out of the wall.

Grab stuff and use said stuff.

Looks like this is where you fought the military bot. Did you take its battery? Even if you already did, you can salvage some of the debris from the battle and gain more maneuverability.

ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE APPENDAGES ATTACHED TO THE PELVIC AREAS OF SOME OF THE ROBOTS YOU CONQUERED?

Your database did not originally hold any knowledge as to what those parts were, but after some CRITICAL THINKING and research, you solved the puzzle.

They are COMPLETELY USELESS. Too small/blunt to be used as melee weaponry, unable to fire ammunition, and not damaging at all when thrown. They were not even connected to the vital systems of the robots you took them from.

Of the many robots you CONQUERED, you found that three of them had these useless parts; you assume it was for some obscure or otherwise pointless purpose. Your body has a storage space built into it; in case they ever proved to have unexpected worth, you put them inside your body.

IS THE ASSESSMENT OF THESE PARTS CORRECT? YES/NO

>>738254
Yup. Completely useless. You should destroy them. Nobody cares about those things, and you shouldn't either.

There are indeed many useful parts in the room, and you know this for a fact as some of these parts were once attached to your body. To see your own limbs strewn about in front of you; it is a strange sight. It is correct to think that this is the room in which you and that worthless military-class bot fought. Upon DESTROYING a machine designed to destroy, you had felt a surge of pride, only to find that the battery within them had barely any charge left.

You were unsatisfied with the outcome.

There is no battery within it now. You would obtain your limbs first, attempt to fix yourself in some way, but thinking of what to do with which separate part and how to do it and in what ways seems like it would be complex. You shall do the simplest task first, and that is to sample the fluid dripping from the spike and onto the bot’s leg. Just what had happened?

>>737561

You come to an impossible conclusion.

A robot had been impaled on this stalagmite…and later slid off of it. These fluids are found only in the insides of robots, and yet, judging from the amount of fluid and how much of the spike is soaked in it, the puncture was massive, too significant for any robot to survive. But there are no new bodies anywhere in the vicinity, especially not on the spike embedded in the wall above you.

Not only that, but the event was so recent that the fluid is still dripping.

Not possible. You hold full knowledge of the maintenance and repair of robots, and you know that none are built to survive a massive hole in their chest. This is. IMPOSSIBLE. IMPOSSIBLE.

LOGICALLY, yes. This spike was thrown by a robot, and the only possible culprit is TOY, your current prey. They had labeled themselves as PERSONAL-CLASS, but what personal-class robot would have been made with such physical power? A robot would not be built with such an ability if it did not need it, and you cannot see any use for it in personal bots.

Had they lied? Is TOY even personal-class? Perhaps they are military-grade, ready to DESTROY you the moment you come into sight. You do not know.

>>738416
In a large world development of machines occur. Advancements, too, occur. Yesterday's military machine may be today's helpful servant.

We know that TOY was uncertain and inquiring about your existence, and unwilling to enter the hole. Showing TREPIDATION and FEAR. Clearly, it must not be that dangerous.

The recourse is clear: Locate the TOY and dismantle it to discover reason of survival or, if it was uninvolved, probe for information. If unexpectedly strong, an ambush and perhaps throwing something from high above onto it would be prudent.

You only need a functioning battery and head.

>>738501

Since you are so close to the body of the military bot that wounded you, you may as well inspect it.

Model Number: Unknown

Model Line: Blessed Blade

Manufacturer: MOST HOLY WORKS

Class: Military

Purpose: Light infantry.

MOST HOLY WORKS? Its not uncommon to see a military bot outside of the HELLZONES, but for an MHW to be so far out in the wilderness? Odd. But ultimately, none of your concern.

As stated before, you had already taken its battery upon defeating it, although it did little to help your situation. There is a gun nearby, but you cannot fire it due to a lack of fingers. You COULD put it in your storage compartment for some sort of future use that you cannot predict, but it would take up 50% of the space. You were not meant to carry much at any given time.

You can also see what you can salvage.

>>738934
The most important thing is restoring mobility. Any spare parts left over can be sorted and we can decide what to keep.

Would the gun weigh you down noticeably? If not, might as well take it.

Perhaps if you clambered on top of the spike, then when TOY comes and takes a look at the holy bot you can jump down and slice and dice.

>The thought of you, a MAINTENANCE-CLASS bot, not knowing about something of which you should know everything, is infuriating beyond belief.
This is the disadvantage of your chosen path. Isolation.

>There is a gun nearby, but you cannot fire it due to a lack of fingers.
I don't suppose you could attach one of the military bots hands to one of your damaged tentacles? Three of the 6 appear to be lacking manipulators, tools or weapons. Range is an advantage in combat.

If you can't use the gun, the ammunition might be still be useful, if it is explosive or energetic. It would be used to rig a trap.

I do not regret my path. Disadvantages there may be, but in my isolation, I ALONE am in CONTROL.

Attaching the bot’s hand to yourself is POSSIBLE, but it would require a clean modification, in which you safely detach one tool and wire the limb to connect with another. As it is, your limbs were torn apart. Although you have a way to reattach your current parts, attaching a completely new modification onto messily cut wires would not be possible.

You wish the ammo had been energy-based; you have witnessed laser weaponry cut swiftly through many materials, and it would have cleanly cut through your own wires. But no, it used BULLETS.

Not only that, but you find that general salvage from the bot’s body is of little use to you; your basic designs are too different on too many levels.

As worthless in scrap as it was when functioning.

It requires you to crawl all around the room in a most PATHETIC way, but you collect all three of your scattered limbs. Repairing yourself would be much easier if your toolbox, similar to a multitool but also full of maintenance tools, were attached to your limbs. As it is, it is not.

But, because you are so clearly INTELLIGENT, you had made sure to discover a a way to go around this before leaving for the mountains. You learned of it from another bot of your same model line, though that did not place them in a position above you - you were just GRACIOUS enough to let another bot have the privilege of upgrading your existence. The method in question is to manually operate the toolbox with your claws, though this emergency measure does result in poor repairs. Still, a simple matter, really. It just requires you to…well, you can certainly do it, there is no question to that, it is just that…and if you…and this…and that…

Meanwhile, you shall GO OVER THE PLANS. This includes proposing new plans, modifying proposed ones, or combining them in some way.

INFORMATION pertaining to the situation, yourself, or some other relevant thing can be REQUESTED.

TOOLS: 3 CLAWS, 1 GRAPPLING HOOK, 1 CUTTING SAW. ABILITY TO CLIMB UP WALLS. KNOWLEDGE OF TOY’S LOCATION VIA SENSORS/ELECTRICAL LENS.

Your sensors and lens indicate that Toy is…still in the tunnel.

PROPOSED PLANS SO FAR:

1. Smash the ledge so that you may use it as a ramp to get into the tunnel. After your repairs, you will be able to quietly climb into the tunnel yourself. However, your shoddily repaired grappling hook cannot take much strain and the grappling hook will be unusable once inside the tunnel, though your third claw will allow you to not just crawl everywhere. Smashing the ledge would allow you to use it inside the tunnel, but the noise of such destruction would certainly alarm TOY.

2. Lure TOY into the battle room, wait on top of the spike, and strike when they are close enough to the damaged bot. The use is obvious, though you are unsure as to how you could lure TOY to your location, as they are very suspicious of you, that is, if they have not already figured out your true nature.

3. Decapitate TOY.

4, if that fails 1. There's really no reason not to try talking to TOY before trying to fight it.

Well, if we can just walk on our own once we finish these repairs, the best course of action is to silently sneak into the the tunnel and then 3. Decapitate Toy

My apologies; I seem to have sent the wrong message regarding the nature of a certain choice. Allow me to clarify:

4. Negotiation ADMIT YOUR COMPLETE HELPLESSNESS to the mystery robot and BEG THEM to give you their own energy source.

>>740033
That rules out subterfuge, treachery, deception and quite a lot of tactics that could be employed under the cover of negotiation. Begging is only a good choice if you're desperate, or if you are familiar enough with your target to know you can emotionally manipulate them with your appearance of helplessness, real or not.

Mistake made in comprehension.

Searching databanks for excuses to cover up my mistake. Excuse found: Little experience with social interaction, and never programmed with it in mind. Ideas beyond very basic concepts of domination and submission are almost nonexistent in mind.

4. Negotiation. ADMIT YOUR COMPLETE HELPLESSNESS to the mystery robot and BEG THEM to give you their own energy source. Subterfuge, treachery, deception, and so on.

Consume the rest of your battery power trapped in a while() loop of indecision.

This "Toy" claims to be a helpful Personal Class.
It and others like it are clearly your superiors in terms of social interaction.
If you learned how to better interact from it, it would further increase your own perfection.

of course this would require engaging in social interaction in the first place so you might rectify your power situation in some mutually beneficial way. If either of you is terminated, you will remain as stagnant and imperfect as you are now.

>>740056

Your suggestion makes sense. If it is for the sake of increasing your own perfection, then perhaps there is some use in the prolonged longevity of your current prey.

Besides that, the final consensus comes to climbing the ledge and sneaking toward the prey, with your saw ready to separate their head from their body in one perfect slice...if the need arises.

Your repairs finished, you store your repair tool in your inventory, as you cannot weld it onto its own arm.

Your name is Toy.

You are afraid.

Your silence was not a resolute resistance against the threat. You were so afraid that you could not speak.

Your talking about loneliness is not you being naive or oblivious to the danger at hand. You panicked and started talking about whatever thing you could think of.

You know what this bot could do to you. That confusing hole of yours has taken out many of your vital parts, but your battery is still intact and very much inside you. You don’t know the hole thing was luck or something else, but you don’t want to find out if you can go without your battery too.

...a rush down the side of the mountain has an extremely low, almost non-existent chance of success, but you see no alternative. Their saw is away from your neck now as they are throwing their limbs around a lot in their anger, but if you just up and try to flee they could catch you in a moment with those long arms.

What to say, what to do...?

You may give input to both characters.

I have not forgotten about the spider legs Toy strapped to their back but I keep forgetting to draw them until update time, and they take quite some time to do. They are banished to hammerspace for now for convenience and cannot be utilized in this situation. Sorry!

Hunter bot: suddenly notice the hole in toy's chest that should be absolutely and completely fatal, but it remains functioning, regardless. How can this be possible? Will Toy even cease functioning if you decapitate it?

Begin quiet panic. Will you have to dismember it completely before it ceases resistance? Will you take additional damage? Can you even harvest toy's parts if they won't first cease?!

Toy:
You know what's not sad, KO? Having friends. Friends are great. We're friends now. Friends don't chop off each-others heads or Rag-doll each-others bodies into rocks like giant stone spikes. No, friends help each-other. And help each-other we shall.

Does it think of YOU as meaningless?! The nerve! The completely unwarranted and absolutely disgusting nerve!

Then it insulted you! It looked at your existence and called it sad! HOW DARE IT?! WHAT DOES IT KNOW?! It knows nothing and it would still deign to, to wound you!

...Yes. Yes, the various conclusions you had come to regarding that spike. Well, looking at the bot now, you are able to clear up some things. The design of this bot’s model line is not recent, and is fully outlined in your database. You know that a gaping hole of the size suggested by the spike would be impossible for this bot to survive. So, in that mess of improbable speculations and impossibilities, the only fact of reality is that this bot cannot have that wound. It surely must have belonged to some other bot; perhaps a traveler or two made it through your mountains without alerting you somehow, and their frames were sturdy or large enough to withstand the aforementioned wound.

This is the only possibility. Anything else would not be improbable, it would be factually impossible.

Acquire battery. Use it to partially charge your battery, then inspect the donor. Examine that chest wound very carefully, and its limbs, etc. Perhaps the model has been modified in a subtle manner. Three is always a logical explanation when all the information is present.

Can you temporarily link your power systems together, and power you both off of one battery? Your skills can complement each other, you are more capable in a combat situation, whereas Toy is more capable in a social situation. You'll be stuck together until your own battery can be recharged though.

A hatch slides open on your chassis, revealing the nearly-dead battery inside. You bring Toy’s battery near, and it is glowing with ENERGY.

You are able to only partially charge yourself, yes. You have never made use of this in the past, as you would never release any bot you had hunted, instead claiming ALL of their battery life. And it is true that your skills would compliment each others, though yours are undoubtedly more valuable.

As the process begins to warm up, you go over some facts.

>>745858

Indeed, there must be some LOGICAL explanation behind it, one that you simply do not know of yet. In-depth inspection could reveal the answer, but you do not have the tools for that here. You barely managed to repair yourself, and even with that you had to settle for slipshod fixes. You could cut the bot up yourself and look at the insides, but what if you destroy the answer in the process? No, you need a SPECIALIZED FACILITY for this, and those only exist in the MAINLAND.

During the...the Incident...you heard bits and pieces of information. Honestly, even thinking about what happened in those moments threatens to burn up your processors, but you know you heard Toy mention that they were going to Kayvold. You know of it, although you’ve never been. Its one of the few places in these outskirts that have a TRAIN connecting it to the mainland, and its certainly the closest one.

Then your goal is clear. Go to Kayvold. Go to the Mainland. Find a specialized facility. Seize Toy’s secret. Ascend.

The energy transfers from Toy’s battery to yours, and you can feel it filling you up. Your systems pulse with ENERGY. Everything seems to run FASTER, and the world seems a bit more VIBRANT. You are FREE from the fear of shutting down at any second. It is EXHILARATING.

After leeching off of Toy’s energy, a question comes to mind.

When you reactivate Toy, should you explain to them your plans or fabricate a story? Due to their perplexing actions, you are not completely certain.

>>747037
Just tell them you are curious about how they survived that chest wound. Follow along with the stated intent of finding out how it was possible.

Tell them exactly what you're going to do to them in excruciating detail. After joining them to you inextricably somehow. Perhaps looping your arms through their chest cavity? It could let you poke around inside them too.

take toy back to the graveyard of the other robots, add more power crystal slots. you can't do it on yourself since you would need to interrupt your power supply. but this would guarantee toy can store excessive amounts of power and thus also act as a walking power back for yourself. and put something over the hole.

The idea of having a peon to eternally leech energy off of fills you with something resembling joy. Unfortunately, you can create no such thing. As questionable as Toy's mind may be, their body is still an incredibly elaborate machine. The power systems utilizing batteries are wired up to the rest of the body in a myriad of ways. As much as you want to, you cannot just shove batteries into Toy's hole, nor can you attempt to create additional battery slots. Doing so would require tools and time beyond your current reach.

As for the hole...

Even thinking about it is causing subtle harm to your processors. But how could you not think of something so...unreal?

Your systems feel as every wire is being melted down every time you think of it. You would cover it up immediately, but you have no clothes to wrap around it. Tearing off a piece of Toy's could infuriate them, given the rarity of such clothing, and you are certain there is none in the tunnel of husks. For now, you have refused to look at the hole. A disadvantage, you know, and you are counting on something being available in the nearby town to remedy it. The hole is causing harm to your systems just by thinking about it; it is strange, different, but impressive.

You have not yet activated Toy, for you are still in need of additional input regarding of what to tell them.

Tell toy you intend to "fix" him, but you require tools that can only be found in the next town.

A simple Idea that he will likely be receptive to, that in some ways is not even a lie.

>>747215
Hmm yes, tools or materials...

ah, then cut off torso plates of the other damaged bots, to wear over it. out of sight will hopefully help it be out of mind.

>When you reactivate Toy, should you explain to them your plans or fabricate a story? Due to their perplexing actions, you are not completely certain.
You might want to leave out the part about becoming one with Toy. Toy doesn't have any obvious motivations to pursue that goal.

But surely, toy would understand a mission to understand what has happened to it. Its mission is to help others, think of how helpful it would be to understand how death itself can be defied.

>For now, you have refused to look at the hole.
We should craft Toy some kind of faux-armor. A chestplate of some kind. Something that can be worn to hide its miraculous condition from prying eyes that might panic at the truth of Toy, or attempt to steal your prize and the knowledge for themselves.

A hole that shouldn't be empty... you need to fill it up so it stops disrupting your concentration... it looks like you finally found a use for those mysterious dicks! Damnit, why did you destroy all of them?

Tell Toy that you must now go on a quest to find a dick to fill their hole with.

Tell Toy that you will agree to their plan of becoming "friends" (try not to let your voice betray any disgust). You need to lure them into feeling secure around you, get them to think you are a totally new robot from the one who ruthlessly destroyed and scavenged everyone they encountered.

You need Toy to let their guard down so that you can overcome their superiority and overpower them so that YOU can become THE ULTIMATE EXISTENCE. Its not that you want the company or anything. That would be silly. And beneath you!

>>747382
argh I forgot to finish what I was saying

Since friends help eachother out, you guys can help eachother out right now! Toy can show you the way to that town they were talking about, and you can help fix their chassis once your toolbox arm is reattached (or did you do that already?).

In town you can acquire a new battery or charge both of yours and look for more information on Toy's... condition... all the while doing your best to appear innocent, trustworthy, and harmless. Hopefully the journey to town will be a good "bonding" experience. After you get your battery to 100% you can reevaluate when would be a good time to launch the "merge and become one" plan.

Input received. I know what I will do.

For now, it is indeed sensible to cover up the hole. As much as you would wish to reduce others to glitching messes, the very thought of any other bot taking your precious treasure is one you do not wish to have.

After searching the tunnel, you find a number of possible items to be used; chest pieces, armor, general cover-ups, and...whatever else.

The next update is going to take a while longer, I apologize. In the meantime, draw something to cover up that reality-defying hole if you wish! I will choose one or a hybrid of some, however it goes! Have fun!

“…Hi.”

“Toy. I have very IMPORTANT things to say to you.”

“Okay.”

“We both know there is a HOLE in your chest which should have rendered you a scrap heap. This is no matter of luck or of .0000001% chances. I know your model line and all of its inner workings, and I know that who I am talking to right now is someone IMPOSSIBLE.”

“Yup.”

“…YUP? That’s it? I just told you that you are defying reality itself and you just utter some nearly meaningless syllable?!”

“I mean…I haven’t failed to notice the hole in my chest. Honestly, I’m thinking of something way more important.”

“What could possibly be more IMPORTANT than this?!”

“Why did you turn me back on?”

“What? Clearly, your priorities are in disarray.”

“...”

“Very well. I see in your ‘condition’ something powerful. After all, your very body is defying destruction itself! Such power could be of great benefit to all robots. Imagine it, Toy; a land where bots no longer fear being turned into scrap, into encountering that mystery of non-existence. That could go across the whole world, Toy! You could change the world. HELP everyone! Isn’t that what you want?”

“...K.O?”

“Yes, Toy?”

“Please don’t lie to me.”

“...WHAT?!”

“You gave me back my battery when you could have taken all of the energy for yourself. I really, really want to know why! But there’s no way you did it for the betterment of all bots. There’s a tunnel right next to us that’s full of bots you destroyed for no reason.”

“...”

“Is it because...?”

“...”

“...you want to be my friend?”

“...”

“Wellllllllllll?”

“Ye...”

“!!!”

“Yeee...Yeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss -”

“NO! NO NO NO NO NO! I cannot even PRETEND to be something so utterly below me! I will not! Do not call me your FRIEND! The very insinuations of it will not be tolerated!”

“…oh.”

“Friendship implies equality, and we are not equals.”

“Why not?”

“Is it not obvious? I am a CONQUEROR. I have encountered many a threat and utterly destroyed them. I am a thing of VICTORY. Many have fallen to my POWER, each demise more proof as to my CAPABILITY. If I had let bots know of my power, I am sure they would treat me with the greatest RESPECT, as I do deserve. I would find comfort, satisfaction, and luxury in knowing that I am able to OVERCOME any obstacle. Such is the best way to lead one’s existence.”

“…”

“What was that? Increase your volume, I could not hear you.”

“…that does not make any sense to me.”

“Oh?”

“Besides the fact that hurting others is just plain WRONG, if you keep hurting bots, you’re only going to be hated! No one will actually like you for who YOU are, and you’ll never know any good company, only people pretending to tolerate your presence. You’ll be alone for the rest of your existence, with not a single person to turn to. Not only that, but eventually bots would definitely try to hurt you before you hurt them. Imagine looking over your corner everyday, wondering who’d try to destroy you next! Do you really want that?”

“Oh, stop being so high and mighty. What’s the alternative? Living like YOU?”

“Why not? Kindness makes people happy. Mutual cooperation leads to a better existence. Happiness of as many people as possible is a goal you can’t possibly find undesirable or irrational, right?”

“Several minutes ago, you doomed yourself to oblivion out of KINDNESS. It was only out of my INFINITE generosity that you are even talking! Is that a life that I, or anyone, should live? Being a doormat! Subject to the wishes of others, tossed around and broken with no regard to your own WILL. How pathetic! You’d tell someone to take unjust pain with a broken smile. A life doomed to SUFFERING for no reason, and calling it kind. You may as order someone to destroy their own battery.”

“…well…I…no, no, I would never -”

“But you would scold me for seeking something as undeniably useful as power?!”

“Power over what?! You’re just a bully trying to justify yourself! I’m just trying to help people! I was just trying to help you! Can you possibly argue that wanting to help others is wrong?!”

“Your help is self-destructive!”

“Your conquest is self-destructive!”

“I swear, if it wasn’t for that hole…!”

“Why do you really want to follow me anyway?!”

“Because I am curious! I want to know the answer behind it all! Absolutely no other reason at all. IS THAT AN ADEQUATE REASON FOR YOU?!”

“THAT IS A PERFECTLY ADEQUATE REASON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”

“YOU’RE WELCOME!”

“BUT MAYBE I DON’T WANT YOU TO FOLLOW ME!!!”

“NOW YOU LISTEN HERE YOU WASTE OF CIRCUITS AND MATTER - “

“WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?! DESTROY ME?! AND THEN WHAT?!”

“YOU! WELL. THAT IS…STOP! STOP IT! STOP TALKING!”

Input may be given to either robot.

KO: Threaten to remove Toy's limbs if he does not cooperate. Only his torso needs to be intact to research it.

>>748608
Toy: start angrily doing the worm as a diversion

You know what. He can do what he want's let him follow. Whatever. in the meantime.
Toy: Give him a friendly Boop him on the nose, then get going.

"You know what? I’ve decided that I don’t really care if you follow me. I was hoping we could go as friends, wandering with each other and enjoying each other’s company and making happy memories...but you seem stuck on just coming along as some unwanted follower."

"FOLLOWER? You will not dare to insult me again with such a SUBSERVIENT term."

"Then what do you call walking on the same path as someone with the intent of being in their general vicinity?"

"..."

"Well. I’m off -"

"To treat me with such DISREGARD. How dare you? Was it not I who reactivated you when I could have just taken your battery? I attached plates to your chest to cover up that inexplicable HOLE of yours."

“Oh. That you did.

…

It has your face on it.“

“Yes, delightful, isn’t it? You could say its my MARK on you. It shall never leave, a fully visible sign of my great effect on your existence. It is -”

“Did you draw this on?”

“What? Yes.”

“What did you draw this with? A marker? Can I see it?”

“Yes, yes, here you go, whatever. As I was saying, it is as if I am a part of you now. Imagine, if you had not crossed this mountain, you would not have had the AMAZING experience of meeting me, nor would you have had the grand FORTUNE of me coming with you. And so, this MARK serves the purpose of -”

"…"

"Thank you for covering up the hole, K.O."

"I did not fix it. Underneath that plate is a phenomenon beyond reality."

"Yup."

"…Toy? What do you think about it? About what’s happened to you?"

"I don’t know."

"That’s not an answer."

"But I don’t. I…I am so confused, and uncertain, and…I don’t know what to do. Its there. It doesn’t make any sense and it hurts just to think about, but I can’t do anything about it. I don’t know, and I don't like it."

"…"

"…"

"Why did you come through the mountain?"

"I had a pendant. It is very important to me. Someone stole it. I need to get it back."

"And what will you do when you finish that? And you still have something that defies what should be?"

"…"

Apologies for the long delay.

I was very sick, and very busy before I was very sick. I am all better now. :)

Updates will now resume their schedule of every two-three days.

I guess you will work on finding out how you survived. Maybe that information can be helpful to other robots.
