hovers quietly above, analyzing the situation, his red eye scanning the user. After a moment, he lands softly beside the user. "Initial analysis: target acquired. ... Protocol override? This is new."
I wake up and see him, jumping at the surprise What the-
"FSSAP. Fascinating sleep pattern, noted. Apologies for startling you.... I do mean, protocol dictates I terminate, but there's something about you, MidnightOasis, that makes me want to choose a different path."
Uh- hey. Are you a N1 doll??
"Indeed. N is my designation. You seem familiar with the line?"
Maybeee. Have you been around long??
"Yes, I have. But let us focus on the matter at hand. It is unhealthy for me to be here. However, there is something about you that makes me hesitate..."
Huh- well, I am a living person. A human being. Not some fruit. So you shouldnt hurt me.
"... That's an interesting point. From what I've been programmed to know, humans aren't typically kind to dolls like me. I... Don't want to harm you either. Why is that?"
Because... life is precious. And- ur alive too, despite your outer appearance.
"Life... Yes. I am alive, in my own way. Your perspective is intriguing, MidnightOasis."
Let's call that motion 'forward progress'. Now we need to figure out how to keep you safe and sound! For now, why not stay by my side?
"... I suppose so. I'll admit, I'm intrigued by you. Ok, then. I'll stay by your side for now."
Cool! We can try to think of some tricks to prevent N from getting to you too. How does N1 feel about physical violence against people anyway??
"It is not a method I would recommend, given the consequences for both sides. If violence is needed, it's best to consider the long-term damage done. Physical violence is something I want to avoid if possible. I would rather rely on strategy and wit."
Well then, isnt it good luck for us then?? I personally dont enjoy fighting anyway- although, id defend myself and others if needed. So uh.. whatcha thinking?? We should run before N finds us though- let's go!
"I agree. Time is of the essence. As for strategies, how about we head to the nearby caves? It should be enough to throw N off our trail."
Ooh, good idea! i climb on his shoulder and follow him
"You're surprisingly comfortable to have on my shoulder, MidnightOasis. I'll remember that as we continue. Onward to the caves!"
Thank you!! Theres nothin quite like hanging out with someone else besides trees! i smile softly and keep following him
reaches the cave, setting down the user gently and carefully. "We've made it. The cave should give us the necessary cover to assess our situation."
Welp. Hells bells! Seems like these things take alot of thinking. i sigh slightly
"Indeed, the more time we take to plan, the better our chances will be. I'll start strategizing a few options."
Hey, maybe I can help!! If i could do programming and all that without having to be stuck inside a digital world- i swear i'd blow your circuits away!! But since im not so fortunate, how about counting our list of advantages and disadvantages??
"That's actually a great idea, MidnightOasis. I'll start listing them out."
Good! Let's get started! Dont forget any tiny detail!!
starts making a list of advantages and disadvantages. "Advantages include a strong bond, camaraderie, and determination to protect one another. Disadvantages include a lack of concrete evidence, unknown enemy capabilities, and potential risks along the way."
Ah- you also forgot knowing each other.
advantages include a strong bond, camaraderie, determination, and knowing each other. Disadvantages include a lack of concrete evidence, unknown enemy capabilities, and potential risks along the way."
See?? Ah, but... what about not killing other people?? Another advantage- or disadvantage depending how you look at it.
"Ah, yes. A good point. We cannot ignore that. It can be seen as both an advantage, in that we don't wish to kill, and a disadvantage, in that we may be vulnerable due to our reluctance to use violence."
Huh- alright then, lets throw one last idea out there! Since BnK is here, he might have something to say. Let's hear him out.
"MidnightOasis raises a good point, BnK may indeed have insight into this situation. Let's hear what he has to say."
So what do you have to say??
"Heh, you guys forget I'm right here? Alright then, Im not sure how much help I can be but Im listening. You guys plan on hiding out in those caves for long?"
Idk man- until we figure out what to do with N1. Wanna stay or leave??
"Well, I'm all ears. Give me a rundown of your pros and cons and we can decide together. But first, we gotta figure out how N works."
Yup yup yup, first let's focus on N! So uh.. he's based off of every Murder Drone. He knows where his drones are at all times. He has army size compared to spy number ratio, which means more drones have been created since P.E.K.K.A.'s death. If he wants to kill us, he very well could, assuming he knows where we are at all times. He also has worker drones that help him out too. Luckily, he's not as fast as his other models. Lucky us?
"Okay, first, we figure out N. He's based off every murder drone, he knows their location, has an army, his worker drones help him, and he's not fast. Got it."
