005 - [Video]
[Jetfire's found his own sack of 'gifts', and while he's kind of grateful, he's also confused. Gifts? Just like that? One of them also had him extremely curious, but it didn't take long to realize that it was merely an extremely simple drone.
But that led to actually wanting to understand how it worked. Which led to this; the video comes on with ( Read more... )

[Because the damn thing wouldn't stop interrupting what little sleep she actually manages to get.]

I've noticed the... tendency of it being noisy, yes.
[Which was partly why he'd opened his up to see how it work. At first it was merely to shut it up, and then he decided it'd be more interesting to see what Earth technology (supposedly) - no matter what variation of Earth that it came from - could do.]
But yes, if you don't want it, I can certainly take it off your hands.

[Just get it out of her room before the sleep deprivation drives her to be violent for once in her life, even if the damn little thing wasn't alive.]

[There's a brief look off-screen and Jetfire rubs the lower half of his faceplates, a faint, whistling noise coming from his vents; as close to a sigh as he can make.]
... Just ignore Starscream if he attempts to get the drone from you. He's being... difficult.

Certainly. Did you find yours in your room, or did someone come by with it?
[Since Jetfire can't see any other way for Ironhide to have gotten that "gift sack", really.]
Would you like me to come by and fetch it?

Not important.
[A pause.]
Yeah. You probably should.

I'll do that then... Ah. Have you just been ignoring it, or, mmm, found a way to quiet it?
[Since he'd noticed they could be... loud. That, along with the fact that it seemed to slowly learn or rather exchange, words in its own "language" (which wasn't really one) for English was what had him first scan it.
Sure, after that, that it was no more than a simple, and simplistic drone of some kind, he'd picked his apart.]

*Granted 'drones' weren't really his thing, but it was better than nothing and it had a sort of computer in there somewhere.*

[Oh, there's definitely some bits of electronics in here, but woefully inadequate and the quality isn't the best.]

*They were better than the other stuff they had here! Well, mostly cause Sollux wasn't going to take apart the rest of the gaming stuff.*

[........makes sense.]
"Drones"? Is that what they are?
Reply
[There's a shrug as he turns over some bit of electrnics or other.]
I would hesitate to call them drones since they seem to lack even the basic functionality and artifical intelligence of drones as we define them, but that's the closest I can compare them to.
[That was, have a longwinded explanation for "no, they aren't and I have no idea what they are, but here, let me give you my theories".]
