[Anduin appears on camera looking -- out of character, for those that know him, dressed in dark leathers and a large black trenchcoat.
Yes, he knows. He feels weird about it too.]
Greetings, my friends. As I am certain you are aware by now, various systems across Minaras are suffering malfunctions, ranging everywhere from brief glitches to complete breakdowns in the infrastructure of the city. What may not have been apparent at first, and why I come to you now, is that there are a number of droids who seem to have been affected by the outages as well.
In my role here in Minaras, the nobility come to me for... [He winces slightly.] I am a droid bounty hunter, to put things plainly. And there has been an increase in runaway droids, of late. I have managed to track several of them down and have them in my custody at present. Normally at this point, I would return them to their masters as requested, but I have -- concerns.
I have spoken with the droids in my charge. They do not seem to acknowledge that they have ever had masters to serve. Certainly not those people who hired me to find them. They have said that their services are not required, at present.
[Anduin hesitates, uncertain for a moment of how exactly to proceed.]
I am a priest, outside this city. I cannot claim to understand the workings of these complex machines. But something has changed them, quite suddenly. Droids are programmed to serve humankind. These droids do not appear to have forgotten who their masters are. But most troubling of all: from what I can tell, they are no longer registering to the droids as human.
Perhaps if we are able to understand why... We might come closer to understanding just what exactly is going on here?
((ooc: further information about/plotting for this little clue-roll can be found here, though anduin will be discussing what he knows so far below!))

[Seems like the wrong word. But.]
I'm an engineer.

Please. I welcome your input. I am far out of my depths, trying to understand the workings of these complicated machines.
The only thing that is clear to me is that the change in these droids correlated with the outages in the city. It has to have something to do with whatever is going on in Minaras.

Where should I meet you?
no subject
I am sending you the coordinates now.
[You should be receiving them as he speaks, in fact.]

["Shortly" is not entirely accurate, given the fact that Viktor is generally slow getting to places, but he does show up, eventually. He isn't quite sure what he's looking for, but the coordinates do, in fact, lead to a warehouse. He waits, patiently, outside the door until he's let in, then enters quickly, with as much discretion as his gait allows.]
I don't think I was followed.
