First Transmission

[nihility]

I - [Action, morning - 1450 Mitchell Road]

[Looks like Robot House has a new not!daughter. She is currently wandering around the house at the crack of dawn, pushing open every single door and window in the house, regardless of who or what may be in/out there. When she "finishes" so to speak, she settles at the landing of the staircase, her hands folded in her lap. She appears to be fascinated by them.]

II - [action, afternoon - around town]

[Kuyou will be wandering around aimlessly, still apparently fascinated by her skin and hair. She doesn't appear very aware of her surroundings, so excuse her if she absentmindedly bumps into a tree or gets hit by a car. And then picks herself right back up like nothing happened.]


III - [phone, afternoon]

This...place...it is very strange.

We are...all humans? ...feels strange. Sasaki not here? Kyou..ko? Fuji...wara? [She pauses.] Kyon?

Comments

[nihility]

[Kuyou slowly looks up. She stares at GLaDOS curiously for around a minute before rising to her feet and replying:]

Kuyou Suou...woke up here.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

And I suppose that would be you.

[Oh great, another kid.]

Welcome to Mayfield, you've been kidnapped. Try the phones if you're looking for more information.

[Just going to start walking towards the basement with her papers now. Your mom is the best.]

[nihility]

[Kuyou is going to shuffle after GLaDOS, silently.]

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[Walking downstairs there seems to be a lab set up. There are a few computers on tables. A larger table filled with mechanical parts and papers and tools. And some strange robots like things here and there. GLaDOS puts her papers down and looks back over at her.]

Yes?

[nihility]

[Kuyou pays no mind to the objects in the lab, though her eyes dart back and forth before asking]

Sasaki...not here? Kyon...not here either?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[That makes her pause.]

Sasaki? She was here. She's gone now though.

I'm not sure about the other.

[nihility]

Sasaki left? [She blinks, but her expression does not change.]

Where is Sasaki now?

And...where is...here?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Back to her world I'd suppose. They take people now and then.

And this is a town called Mayfield.

Everyone here has been kidnapped.

[nihility]

Mayfield...[She gives the slightest nod, as if acknowledging the town's name.]

What...purpose do they...have?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

They? If you mean the people who brought us here, we still don't know.

Probably something idiotic.

[nihility]

[Blink-blink.]

CLARIFY: idiotic.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[GLaDOS just rolls her eyes. And brings up a definition in her databases.]

idiotic: adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an idiot.
2. senselessly foolish or stupid: an idiotic remark.

[nihility]

[She blinks again, and replies flatly] Recorded. Senselessly foolish or stupid.

[Or, rather, thanks to the lack of advanced learning capabilities, she's just got it memorized.]

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[How odd.]

Are you supposed to be human?

[nihility]

I am...not. [She blinks once more.]

I am a...HUMANOID INTERFACE.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Really. And what is that exactly?

[nihility]

I...I...we...

[She blinks again, and suddenly her whole demeanor changes. Suddenly she's not stuttering, or being indecisive and confused. She seems like she's a machine, reciting from a code fed into processors.]

Inorganic life forms, made solely out of data, generated by data. Manufactured for interaction, observation, data collecting, progress...capabilities: space manipulation, space distortion, nanomachine injections, rapid regeneration, matter reconstruction, cross-temporal synchronization--

[She claps a hand on her face and groans a little bit. As if she's unaware of of what she just said.]

What...did...?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Really? How fascinating.

I am an AI myself. At least I was before I came here.

[nihility]

[As if clarifying to herself, she mutters:] AI - artificial intelligence.

[Reconsidering, she says] I was not...made by humans.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Who then?

[nihility]

Macrospatial Quantum Cosmic Existence...Sky Canopy Dominion.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Aliens?

[nihility]

[HEY there's that word again.]

"Aliens."

Kyon says...we are...aliens.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

An alien made of data.


What a strange idea. And you were built to observe things?

[nihility]

Observe and...communicate...with the others.
