[Okay, point.]

This isn't exactly a private conversation. Anyone else listening in might not have your experience.

[Look at that save!]

Scalpels are nice. Barring us getting that lucky. Or that unluck... Even something like tweezers or a syringe could come in handy. Even a stethoscope might be good. I'm wondering if this place is like any of the other white rooms we've been in. I don't hear any breathing or pounding on the walls.

[phaseshifter]

Steal literally anything you possibly can seems like the best policy. You know - going full bandit? Mmmaybe with less shooting. Maybe.

And don't jinx it. Breathing walls would make this even worse.

[jumpthegun]

If there's a gun, I am definitely stealing that.

[God, would he love having a gun again here.]

Right, though. They might weaken us before they take us. Can you think of anything we can do to get around that mechanically?

[phaseshifter]

Digistruct an army of loader bots to obliterate them before they can weaken us? I know a guy, but I'll need to make some calls.

[ angel, ]

[jumpthegun]

[John's brows furrow.]

Are loader bots, like... machines loaded with guns and ammunition?

[The most important question here.]

[phaseshifter]

Well - most Hyperion robots are loaded with weapons and ammo, so I guess so. But they're named that because they were originally used for heavy lifting - loading cargo and stuff? Additional variants more suited for combat came later. My bunker was guarded by a significant number of them, so they were obviously very effective. And kinda cute.

[ robot-slash-gun talk is ALWAYS the most important??? duh??? ]

[jumpthegun]

Cute like Dumpy's cute? [Look, John appreciates robots, but there are objective standards on cuteness levels here. This is also incredibly distracting, which is good.]

[phaseshifter]

What? No, totally different kind of cute. Dumpy is made by Atlas, their aesthetics are completely different. They tend to prefer curved surfaces, whereas we go for angles and yellow paint. Loaders are big and blocky and stompy. And they talk!

[jumpthegun]

You'll have to draw me a picture when we get out of here.

[Because they're getting out of here.]

Sounds like they'd come in handy, though, yeah. Place like this.
