Hello? Hello, is this thing on? Can’t really find a place to plug into it, suppose it was just my good lu-intellect. My astounding… intellect and creative thinking… that got this book open. Seeing a bit of writing now, hearing a few voices in there. Funny thing really, sounds… coming out of a book and all that and writing itself… Books don’t

[Aww this poor guy seems really lost. And then the feed stops, so now Yui is wondering if he's okay. Hopefully she won't be asked to do more property damage...]

Hello? Are you still there...?

[Voice]

[macely]

Bloody turre- Eh?

[That... sounded a touch off for a turret, actually]

... If I say yes, will you shoot at me? Wherever you are? And no fibbing now, can't put one past me. Sharp as a tack, I'll have you know.

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

Uh...no, I wouldn't do that. [she couldn't anyway.]

My name is Yui Kounagi and I'm talking to you through the journal. Are you all right?

[Voice]

[macely]

Ah! Good! Thank you.

Another through the journal, eh? Very interesting, these journals. Never did see one that could do that. ... Well... in paper form, anyway. Me? I'm fine! Dandy! Just great! ... Little bit lost though, I can say that. Just a touch.

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

I've never seen a journal do something like this either!

And that's good. Ah, did someone come to help you yet? You said you were a sphere...?

[Voice]

[macely]

Well that makes the two of us then! Everyone else seems just fine with talking journals.

Yes! A personality sphere, actually. And... yes. Hopefully. I am pretty sure that some is in fact coming. Soon. Relatively soon. Soonish.

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

Well, some of us have been here a lot longer. So they're just used to it by now.

Personality sphere? Like an AI? [That is so cool.] Do you have a name I can call you?

[Voice]

[macely]

I suppose that would make sense. You know, getting used to it and all. Being here for so long, it just gets all samey after a bit and whatnot.

That's exactly it, very good! Very advanced AI, I will tell you that. My name's Wheatley, aaaand... you are?

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

Oh, that's so cool. My name is Yui Kounagi. It's nice to meet you, Wheatley-san.

[Voice]

[macely]

Oh yes it is. Extremely cool, actually. The coolest ever, if I might be so bold as to say. And it's very nice to meet you too! ... That's an interesting tic.

[lol what are honorifics]

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

Tic? Oh, I guess you're not familiar with Japanese. Saying san is kind of like saying miss or mister.

So, I'm saying Mister Wheatley when I say Wheatley-san.

[And now Wheatley has been enlightened!]

So what were you built for, if I may ask?

[Voice]

[macely]

... Oh! Well.. No one's ever called me Mister before... Kind of nice, that! Right then! Learn something new everyday then, don't you?

Oh me? Lots of things! Uh, I worked on several production lines, look care of the cryogenics and relaxation center for a while too. Did that. ... Not necessarily glamorous jobs, but they were very important.

[Voice]

[thederpyhalf]

Hehe, it's just a natural part of our society.

Mm, I understand. Even the smallest of jobs are important. A foundation could easily fall apart, if the smallest pieces weren't there to help keep it standing. I'm guessing you need to be attached to the machines to actually manage them. [unless the sphere can magically float around on it's own.]

[Voice]

[macely]

Well that's a very nice society that you have there. Very good indeed, there needs to be more societies just like it out there.

Exactly! The whole bloody place would have just come right down around everyones ears if it weren't for me. Hard work, I'll tell you, managing a facility. ... Yes, actually. Had to be plugged in to interface, they hadn't really worked on any wireless deals yet. And the management rail, I also had a management rail.
