Vandal here.

I've been sifting through the junk pile and I found a few things of interest. A few hard drives, some music and films on them, haven't sorted through or formatted it yet, but if anyone's interested in some entertainment there's that.

Found some stuff I might be able to turn into a human-sized living space. Old mobile home. Kind of shitty, but a nice fat project to work on. But uh.

Can anyone help me haul this thing out? I mean, I got it dislodged, but my RIG only has so much moving power.

Also: Hey Max, you around? When are we going to do that whole drink until we can't stand thing?


[Private to Ratchet]

Ratchet? I have something to ask you.



[Private to Perceptor]

You owe me that story.

I don't think so. It'll be a matter of time before they start dropping weapons. This whole place feels like a war zone.

Video

[vandalization]

That's a little morbid. What makes you think that would be the end of it?

Video

[tearsofsteel]

I don't. I'm sure whatever's dropping this stuff wants to see us fight. And they'll do anything to see it keep going.

Video

[vandalization]

Mmmm? What gives you that impression exactly? I mean, I haven't seen much on it. Other than people's personal issues.

Video

[tearsofsteel]

Personal experience, mostly. That and the weaponized robots everywhere.

Video

[vandalization]

Hey. I don't think they're weaponized. I mean sure they're fuckhuge, but they're sentient. They're... people.

Video

[tearsofsteel]

Sorry, it's just that whenever I've crossed paths with a robot, they tend to be armed.

Granted, you have a point...

[He remembers 0013, his mind crammed into that robotic exoskeleton, being forced to kill.]

...still, this whole situation's suspicious.

Video

[vandalization]

That's fair.

Most of the ones here seem to be pretty cool, though. I mean- they think and they feel, so they're not much different than humans. At least in that regards.

Yeah, no. I know what you mean. But I've had so much weird shit happen here I don't now what feels normal anymore.

Video

[tearsofsteel]

I can try giving them a chance.

[Nod.]

Yeah, sometimes it's like you forget what it's like to be human.

Video

[vandalization]

I think they deserve one.

Haha... yeah.

Yeah really.

Video

[tearsofsteel]

You don't have to talk about it. I just know how losing yourself feels...

Video

[vandalization]

Yeah, you and me both.

Video

[tearsofsteel]

Maybe this place can be a good vacation for us, who knows.

Video

[vandalization]

Yeah. I suppose it could be.

[A permanent vacation.]

Video

[tearsofsteel]

I figure we got to watch our for each other.

Name's 004, by the way. Sorry, I forgot my manners.

Video

[vandalization]

Interesting name... though I guess I don't have much room to talk. Nice to meet you.
