[Pause.] Where do I begin

[Oh goodness, pinged.]

The air itself was dangerous to you? And you changed shape?

Sorry, got ahead of myself. You're the person who writes about the Wilderness, but I've yet not caught your name. And I'm Hawk.

[moe_rapier]

My sensors detected the air was clear of toxins, but the hazard alarms were blaring no sooner than I stepped out of the elevator. I was just about to order a retreat when the change occurred.

I'm Locket. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hawk. I've seen your handwriting over the journals on occasion, but I wonder if we've met in person... where do you work, if I might ask?

[crimson_seeker]

Sorry, but-your sensors?

Don't think so, unless you've dropped by the bookstore. I do the odd shift there, but most of the time I guard the Hatchery.

[moe_rapier]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm [Pause.] a robot. A man-made construct, if you will.

I drop by now and again, so we may have passed each other before. I'll be sure to say hello to the staff whenever I'm in.

Are you serious? I mean, this is an actual place we can go?

[moe_rapier]

Yes, you can, but always remember to go with at least one other person.

Oh, I am so taking Wolf to this. Whoohoo!
