[Voice] -- Nov 02

[notayoungman]

[ It's well after dark, and one of the newest arrivals is having a very bad day. He hasn't introduced himself and doesn't plan to. So his introduction is one of mistaken identity. There is no video, only the extremely urgent, gruff voice of an old soldier. ]

Omnic threat sighted! I repeat, we have a Titan class omnic, fully armed, sighted in Maurita Falls. At--It's in a park. Currently, stationary, arrived some time in the last hour. Full specs unknown. Requesting support of an engineer. Or anyone with power enough to destroy a robot the size of a building.

I'll run distraction!

[ And it ends there. No further details, no sign off. But it's bad if Mister Lone Wolf is asking for help.....or so he thinks. ]

[ oh for the love of- ]

Some imPorts are robots and cyborgs. Please do not attack and destroy...!

[notayoungman]

This is no simple robot! This is a Titan! It's--I don't have time to explain. Get off the comms if you're not going to help!

[ Old habits die hard, after all. ]

[ghoulking]

No, I'm not going to help you to possibly murder an imPort because you fail to realize this world is not your own.

[WHILE STILL BEING SHOT]

It's kind of cute, actually.

[notayoungman]

ImPort or not, these things tried to destroy my world!

You may receive more help if you speak in words that more than just a handful of people can understand.

[ Not that he intends to help. You may be having a bad day, buddy, but he's been having a bad lifetime. ]

[notayoungman]

What's not to understand about "giant robot in the park"?!

[ Stop whining and be useful, Kid. ]

[reek]

[ Hey, he's just pointing out the obvious, and you can't see his face, but you can hear the insufferable smirk in his voice. ]

The part where you used none of those words.

[notayoungman]

[ Can you feel his angry glaring because he did indeed say "robot the size of a building" and "in a park." ]

Your failure to listen is none of my concern.

What's it doing? I might know that robot. If it's the one I'm thinking of, leave him alone. He's more entertaining than dangerous.

[notayoungman]

Currently, it appears dormant. No telling when it will activate, best to act fast!

[drivesadesk]

Look, it might not be a threat. Wait to attack until you know there's a reason to.

[notayoungman]

If we wait for a reason, it's too late! Just one of these things can level a city! No time to explain!

[ There will be deadair while he executes (and fails) his plan. ]

Voice sorry for poopy tag

[caduceusvalkyrie]

[Her heart skips a beat when she heads the voice on the comm mention omnic first then Titan class. Whoever this person was, they were from her world. From her world and knew how to fight. What was a Titan doing here?

Then she looks at the rest of the responses and, okay she made a similar mistake when she first saw the giant robots.]

Stand down, there are no omnics here. Not that I know of any way.

Nonsense it's lovely

[notayoungman]

[ She'd been too late to catch him before he rushed in. Like he always does. But after the conversation with the cat video watching non-titan robot, he's able to check the replies.

And hearing her voice was more of a shock than seeing the giant robot. It couldn't be. It had to be a coincidence. ]

The threat...it's not a threat, anymore.

[ He had to be sure it was her. ]

You're familiar with omnics?

[caduceusvalkyrie]

I hope that's because you realised it wasn't a threat rather than ending it.

Mm, I am. Unfortunately. It's a little hard to escape knowing them where I'm from. We're you...were you involved in the Crisis? [If the man knew what she meant then he had to be from her world. She didn't want to think there could be more worlds that suffered the omnics.]

[ Have you ever heard a Brit doing an absolutely awful American accent before? ]

Oh my GAWD, an OMNACK!?

Voice

[notayoungman]

[ Wow, it's more obnoxious as Oxton's attempts! ]

THIS IS SERIOUS!

[pummelgranite]

[ Nice old man growl. ]


Uh huh. The RISE public tip like is 555-8008. They love SERIOUS.

[functusofficio]

I don't know what an Omnic is, but there are members of our population who are peaceful robots. Please do not assume a threat if they have not posed one.

If they are not, I may be able to provide some aid.

voice.

[notayoungman]

He wasn't a threat, just an idiot. Never knew an omnic to be so juvenile.

[functusofficio]

If Omnics are something specific to your world, it is likely he is not one of them. In my world, we have many droids who serve many functions - here they tend to be referred to as robots. Perhaps there are those here who might appear as one thing to you but are in fact from other worlds and not serving that function.

[ ...what is even an omnic? It didn't sound like any kind of monster Squall had seen, and even if it was, anyone that could fall under that category in appearance was probably an imPort. ]

Stand down.
It's likely an imPort like you.
Do not engage.

[Text]

[notayoungman]

Already engaged and assessed. Threat status downgraded.

[ Ugh, great. Hopefully no one got hurt. ]

Caution's always appropriate, but next time consider your location.
The rules by which our individual worlds lived by don't apply here.
