Whaaaat? I didn't get any of what that guy said!

What is going on here? Why am I not at home?

Oh and if any of the other Brave Police are here... I'm apparent in some kind of temple for a Nexus Prime guy.

Comments

[winged_knight]

[Quite true.]

You are quite welcome. I believe they've been building a new headquarters over there, though I don't know if the building is complete.

[Assuming they haven't run off.]

Ah well, I'm slightly taller than McCrane, if that's what you mean. But my species can vary greatly in size.

[drillsandballs]

If it's not I can help, I may not be as useful for it as Dumpson or Power Joe, but I can do some building too.

[That wouldn't be the first time.]

Huh... I'm the smallest Brave Police... so I guess most everyone here will still be bigger than me, oh well.

[winged_knight]

That's wonderful! We have plenty of building to do here actually. I'm sure McCrane can fill you in on the details.

[He's pretty relieved about that actually. There are so few people who know anything about construction here.]

Oh I don't know about that. There are some mechanical beings here that are as small as human sized.

[drillsandballs]

Gottcha! I'll ask McCrane about anything that needs to be done.

[He may not be designed to specialize in construction but he can do it, and he will listen to McCrane about what he should be doing.]

Oh, there are some here that small? What do they do?

[winged_knight]

[More hands to do the work is never a bad thing!]

Honestly I'm not certain. I haven't spoken in depth with them. But the human sized ones certainly have the benefit of being able to interact with the species better, so I imagine that has something to do with it.

[drillsandballs]

Maybe, I know some of the A.I.s back home are small like that, medical ones and such. Makes sense.

Oh, um... is there some kind of big field around? I like to play soccer.

[winged_knight]

So your world has many other types of robots? Interesting.

A field? You mean like open ground? [Sadly he's not up on the part of Earth culture.] Soccer? Is that a game? I'm not familiar....

[drillsandballs]

Well, there are controlled robots without any A.I. then there are those with a standard A.I., that was how Deckerd was supposed to be, but when Yuuta met him Deckerd's A.I. chip grew into a Super A.I. and that's what the rest of ours were made after.

Yeah! You don't know it? It's a sports game that's lots of fun to play, there are two teams and you kick a soccer ball around the field, each team trying to get the ball into the goal at the other end to score. At the end of the game who ever has the most points wins.

[winged_knight]

Hmm, that's not so different from us. We have drones that are not sparked. They're more like true robots.

No, I've never heard of it. But then I don't know much about Earth. It sound really interesting. Wouldn't it be easier to just pick it up and run?

[drillsandballs]

Sparked? Is that sort of like having a Super A.I.?

I can teach you some time, if you want. Maybe, but then it isn't soccer, that's more like football.

[winged_knight]

Hmm, it is, sort of... Our spark is our lifeforce, the core of our being. Our, soul as humans might say? If our spark goes out, no amount of repair or refueling can revive us.

That might be interesting. But... [WHAT. That makes no sense.] If you picked it up and ran, why would it be called 'football'?

[drillsandballs]

Oh... Our Super A.I. chips are like that, so long as they are undamaged we can be switched bodies and stuff, but if those get destroyed... we are gone.

I don't know, humans named the sports. There are a lot of strange sport names, like polo, vollyball, cricket. I just know that soccer is soccer and you kick the ball. [He grins.]

[winged_knight]

Yes, that does sound similar.

Humans do have some...cultural oddities I must admit. But if it's fun then the name is secondary!

[drillsandballs]

Having fun is the most important part in my opinion. I would love to have the chance to play soccer with others.

[winged_knight]

What's required? Maybe we can find some things that are useful in the junk pile?

[drillsandballs]

The most basic stuff is a field, which for those about our size needs to be pretty big, and as flat as possible, and then just two goals, which is normally an open frame with netting on the back to keep the ball from going to far when you kick it into the goal.

[winged_knight]

Hmm, well, it seems like we should be able to build the goals... but a field? A field of...what?

[drillsandballs]

A field of grass. Couldn't play it in a field of crops or anything like that.

[winged_knight]

Oh dear... I'm not certain how we could get a field of grass here. That's...a plant right? Small and skinny and green?

[drillsandballs]

Yeah, it is... there is a kind that is fake that we could use too. If not we could probably figure something out. That is the nice thing, the grass isn't super important, just nice to have.
