shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

That is very interesting. But I would still prefer not to be thrown out of a window, because I can't actually fly?

 

Do you mean the point is that it's unpredictable? That's horrible. That's the worst. How can you do science if there's no predictions to be made?

 

um by looking at the data? you aren't supposed to go in with preconceived notions normally, or you can run into a confirmation bias problem and that is actually pretty unhelpful.

 

Would you prefer I catch you? I'm not built to carry passengers but a controlled glide is better than a drop.

 

science is irrelevant

i'm (post-)modern art

 

Skydrop would catch him.

 

yeah, um sorry... Silverburst? But I'm a little nervous around other mechs and I would prefer Skydrop catching me if possible.
also um
@This Was A Triumph
is this you?

Spoiler: very scary picture

because um. then I just want to ask you. are you okay? that. looks incredibly painful. I didn't even know they did Empurata that extreme.

 

Fair. I don't know your crew's makeup and didn't want to assume.

 

I can't say I'm surprised they've started. Any of them. Either faction. Or the NAILS. Or the colonists.

Flier, two speedsters and the medic. Plenty enough not to need help.

 

...Raem and Mala both, I am going soft. Apologies for overstepping, I didn't mean to imply you couldn't take care of each other. Do Cybertronian medics have the take-care-of-everyone protocols too?

 

Ha Ha Ha I'm FINE.

Thanks for asking.

There's no data to be gained if there's no pattern s. No hypotheses to be developed without at least some predictability.
And this shitposting orb.... Who even made that thing? Wait, I know. It's probably where all the not-science went.

 

-quick little there-and-gone grin-
Plenty of it.

 

Regrettably so in my case. It is very painful.

okay that is good but I um. still offer to build you a new frame that looks a little less... mangled and like it came straight out of the smelting pits? because you do look very scary and I'm not even just scared of you but for you as well.

 

I like you.

 

oh um I-
thank you?
oh my.

 

-eyes Iridium with a touch of suspicion-

 

I am Iridium of Prion.

 

I thought everyone from Prion was dead.

 

What.

Are you offering to... build me a body like yours? Bipedal? Capable of moving around?

I've been like this... almost as long as I remember.

((today I learned what empurata is and gosh darn it I want to be immune to giantrobotitis! and then you guys go and introduce me to more great worldbuilding and characters!!! argh.))
