ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE BRAINS ARE ON THE DROIDS? WHERE THE BRAINS GO? WHO HAS ACCESS TO THEM?



OR ANYONE JUST WANT TO BUY A DROID?

They're all clockwork and gears; their "brains" are probably like an ancient computer's punchcards.

Haven't seen mine since I was yanked out of Minaras.

[edgerun]

THAT WAS MY THOUGHT. BUT THEY SEEM RESPONSIVE. PUNCHCARDS CAN ONLY HOLD A LIMITED AMOUNT OF INSTRUCTIONS. TOO LIMITED FOR THE RESPONSIVENESS OF THE DROIDS. UNLESS THERE'S A SECRET I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T LIKE SECRETS.

I KEEP HEARING THAT. DO ALL IN SERTHICA HAVE ONE OR ONLY THOSE FOR MINARAS?

[biomed]

The secret is that magic is real here and it does whatever the Hell it wants.

So that's probably the answer.

Only those of us in Minaras got one. Mine mostly gave unsolicited advice.

[edgerun]

PROBABLY MAGIC. WHICH MEANS I NEED A WAY INTO MAGIC.

DRINK MORE WATER ADVICE OR STAB EVERYONE TO SATISFY THE DEVIL ADVICE?

[biomed]

Lord.

( knee-jerk, whoops. let's try again. )

No Mephistophelian suggestions, more like a nagging mother-in-law.

[edgerun]

NOT SO SCARY THEN. JUST ANNOYING.

[biomed]

That doesn't mean they can't be scary. I'm pretty sure she was spying on us, too.

You'll also want to watch out for the Sphinx.

[edgerun]

WHY DO YOU THINK SPYING?

SPHINX?

[biomed]

Just a feeling, with how everyone's got one, and they're nosy little parkers.

'Asclepios', Minaras's droid sphinx. Resides in their civic integration center, and forces folks to tell it their dirty secrets. I suggest avoiding it.
