[ Prism's voice is a cheery burst of sunshine across the Link, the Monitor sounding vaguely excited about... everything, really. ]

Hello, I am 686 Ebullient Prism, Monitor of Line Installation 1-4! As per protocol, I am obligated to inform you that unauthorized removal of a Monitor from facility grounds is strictly prohibited.

If anyone is capable of offering a more cohesive explanation of the workings of the Lambda, I would be very interested in hearing it. I am already aware that it is a space-time anomaly spanning at least several universes. You could say I have a fair bit of experience dealing with this sort of anomaly. Outside input would be quite welcome, as the drone present at my awakening was not particularly helpful.

[ And is now missing a head. ]

I would like to thank you all in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to meeting you all!

[Are you spying on people, Prism?

Because that's Blurr's job.

Hm.]

Unauthorized removal of a Monitor...we don't have those here.

And none of us knows much more about this place or what brought us there than what the Acolytes told you upon arriving sir. If we discover more we will share it with others at the first opportunity.

[experimentality]

You have one now, and a daresay he is not very pleased with the current situation.

[raceme]

None of us were when we arrived here sir DOES that mean you are attached to a particular wall and you can't move around? Thatsoudnsproblematic.

A Monitor is a form of high-functioning artificially intelligence used by Forerunners to run and maintain their facilities. I am not sedentary.

[raceme]

But those facilities don't exist here, correct ? And if you are an autonomous robotic organism too what sort of source of energy you need to survive?

[experimentality]

I require no outside power sources in order to function.I am completely self-sustaining.

[raceme]

That's actually a really useful thing you won't have problems here then. Whatsyourfunction?

[experimentality]

As a Monitor I am responsible for running and maintaining my allocated facility as well as observing my programmed protocol. Specifically, I am studying sentient life.
