[ Remember when Prism was talking about how his tech has the intelligence of a dog or a cat? Yeah, that wasn't a joke. They really are that stupid without Prism to direct them, which is a nice little fact to know. Also nice to know is that Prism is nowhere near them now, because they are obviously in Hal's room in Trion's temple. Joy.

So here Hal is on video instead, looking like the world's most fucking annoyed parent while the Gatherer hugs him with it's tentacles. Meanwhile, the Sentinel hovers and gently bops him in the face repeatedly. Both machines are acting for all the world like extremely stupid animals instead of effective drones. ]

I suppose I'm supervising these now. Wonderful. I suppose this makes someone's job easier.

[ Hint. Hint.

P.S. Prism, you are awful. World's worst boyfriend former co-worker. ]

So what do these things do?

[AKA should we be worried?]

The Gatherer is the large machine with tentacles. It collects and stores specimens. The Sentinel is the small, hovering platform. It protects the facility it is assigned to guard via energy weaponry.

[Face laser. It has a face laser.]

Collect and store specimens like us.

Yes. Yourself, myself and anyone else Prism felt would aid him with protocol.

[No point in lying.]

[tearsofsteel]

Not if I can help it. I refuse to let anyone be a test subject.

As Prism lacks his equipment, I doubt you will have to worry about that.

[tearsofsteel]

I hope not. I don't want to use force against anyone I don't have to.

I doubt there will be cause for you to do so, as far as Prism and the drones are concerned.

Is that what you're worried about?

[tearsofsteel]

I'm worried about a lot of things.

Are they predominantly associated with being essentially trapped on an alien planet with strangers?

[tearsofsteel]

That and a powderkeg situation. Feels like something's starting. I don't know what yet, though.

Politics?

[There are several big, like literally huge players, on the field. Politics is sort of the only idea he's got.]

Video

[tearsofsteel]

That or a war. I'm not happy with either.

[heuristical]

You could always be wrong.

[He can't, because everything is attributable to human error, but 004 totally can be.]

Video

[tearsofsteel]

Maybe, but I don't have the time to wait around and see.
