WEEK 4

[A third of those of you who came here are now dead.

Its a sobering thought as everyone wakes up the next day to find their profiles updated once more, with Rosie and Naoya now added to the list of the discarded. There's an entire empty room, in terms of humans - Rocky, Murray, Elly, and a a strangely new and realistic robot bird are still there, somehow. Someone will need to take care of them now that their owners are gone.

Just like last week, no one has regained their memories, but their powers have evolved. Also like last week, a new floor has opened for those remaining to explore. It's...definitely different from the previous ones, to be sure. Emptier, more militaristic. And very, very large.

Maybe that's where the transport will arrive? Whatever the case, Marie's claim about the universe - if she's telling the truth - means there's less than two weeks left before the universe's destruction. If anyone has not yet thought of a way out that doesn't involve killing, the time to figure something out may be running out for everyone.

Meanwhile, even despite the lack of Naoya to hack the computers, the random computers belting out shittyfluting has, if anything, increased in their frequency. Which is definitely odd, since no one else has tried to hack into the computers...right?

There are ten strangers in this place.]

[ Noted. On to the document! ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's electro3. Open?]

[vividsins]

[ Sure. ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a document tracking brainwaves of a partly-cybernetic brain. Specifically, the person had given birth some time ago, and their activity is only now starting to go back towards their baselines from before.]

[vividsins]

[ As in gave birth years ago but is just recently returning to baselines? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It seems that the birth was several years ago, at the least.]

Give Char a second to tag in

[vividsins]

[ Okay that's... He's pretty sure that that's not supposed to happen???? He's not a medical person. What the fuck. ]

Where's C when you need him?

finally i can do the thing he tends to do, i haven't had a chance yet

[losergod]

[ From behind him: ]

I'm always listening, you know. Did you need my help with something?

[vividsins]

[ Well, he jumps a little. Why did you do that, C? ]

You know medical things. What do you think? I also found a spreadsheet about things repaired here.

[ Moving aside so C can look! ]

[losergod]

[ He'll look it over. At least the medical stuff first-- ]

Honestly, it's odd. If someone has given birth, usually they might have some post-birth depression, but there IS a possibility they could have developed a mental illness during the pregnancy. It's possible this person took awhile to get back to baseline normal...?

[ Anyway, that aside... ]

The spreadsheet is interesting, though. Do we have sizes on here to these things? Any other records?

[vividsins]

The maintenance log seems to have the sizes, and some seem quite large.

[ Hm. Mental illness... ]

Is it also possible the fact this woman had a cybernetic brain caused problems returning to baseline?

[losergod]

... I think it's a distinct possibility that her enhancements could have been damaged, or something like that. Pregnancy isn't easy on the body.

[ All right, well, he's going to check and see the three names' sizes. He's especially interested in Parox for reasons, but sizing on all three might be good? ]

[strangerpeople]

[The sizing on each, from largest to smallest:

Parox is ~100 'feet' when scaled at .9 μm;

Arcoyear II is ~80 'feet when scaled at .8 μm;

Arcoyear I is ~50 'feet' when scaled at .5 μm;

Barney is ~6 'feet' when scaled at .060 μm.]

[losergod]

[ This is all super interesting. Hm. ]

... I'm guessing they're like... mobile suits or whatever. You know. Mechas? Like in some anime.

[ He's trying not to sound as excited about this as he actually is, being actual anime-loving trash. ]

There's one of these that's only around six feet or so? Barney. That's the size of a person. We may want to consider the possibility that some of these units are alive.

[vividsins]

Are you surprised? There's a god and a demon here. A living robot... Wouldn't be that far-fetched.

[ Are we in fucking Transformers or something. ]

[losergod]

Well, no, it wouldn't be. We already have one helping with trials anyway, right? I wish we had more information.

[ Hrm. ]

Was there anything else in this document?

[strangerpeople]

[Feel free to scan it yourself as well, C, if you'd like!]
