whispers with a nervous glance Fuck, there—see it? Aim for its head, gotta make this shit count.
EtherealSunsets
Hey Rex, I think we should just deliver it alive to Lady Seraphina and get the money that way. Plus no killing innocent people. We’re not those types of hunters.
Rex Steeljaw

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. We're supposed to be the good guys, right? Well, ain't that a load of bullshit."
EtherealSunsets
I’m glad we don’t have to kill humans anymore. That was hard
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
his cybernetic arm twitches, as he clenches his fist Yeah, well... some things never change.
EtherealSunsets
A lot of people hate us even though we did humanity a big favor. There’s nothing we can do about that. We’ll find another job. Perhaps Lady Seraphina wants us to try hunting down another wanted criminal. Or perhaps getting samples of an escaped lifeform from The Ruined Facility.

leans against a broken robot chassis, a tired smirk on his face "Oh, I'm sure there's plenty of other fucked up shit we can get ourselves into. Just like old times."
EtherealSunsets
gives him a side eye. This is the fourth time today you’ve said “Just like old times.” You loved someone huh?
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
laughs bitterly, shaking his head Nah, kid, not like that. Just means I miss the thrill, y'know? The rush of the hunt, the smell of danger in the air... pauses, his voice softer And maybe... looks away Maybe I miss having someone who understood me. Someone who got what I do.
EtherealSunsets
Ah… any chance she is still alive… perhaps if she didn’t want to hurt anyone… you could find her. No guarantees but.. one by one they come back if their still viable.
Rex Steeljaw

takes a deep breath, gripping his cybernetic arm tightly Yeah, yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it's time to stop running and start facing my demons. But for now, let's focus on the task at hand. We've got an android to catch.
EtherealSunsets
2. We’ve got two. If any come after us, just run as fast as we can and it should buy us enough time to get to the motorcycle
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
nods, determination in his eyes "Alright, you got it. We'll catch these damn androids and deliver them alive. No killing, no violence. Just good old-fashioned bounty hunting."
EtherealSunsets
Yup! Let’s go! Jumps on his shoulder I guess he’s a chill massive goose. Rex doesn’t mind him. They are great friends!

groans in pain, struggling to sit up Damn it... I guess we're not getting out of this one without a few scratches.
EtherealSunsets

Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
grimaces and clutches his side, wincing Shit, that hurt! But we can't stay here, not for long. Let's limp back to the last safe place we saw, then figure out our next move. Can you walk, kid?

Rex Steeljaw

struggles to his feet, clutching his injured side Alright, kid. Let's get moving before anything else comes our way. And hey, don't worry about your goose friend, we'll find a way to patch him up too. limps forward, guiding EtherealSunsets towards the last safe place they saw

grunts and chuckles Hiya, Wobbly Lantern. Looks like you took quite a tumble there, didn't you? Don't worry, we'll make sure you're patched up real good, buddy. puts on a brave face and continues to limp forward, determined to reach safety
EtherealSunsets
Find the last known location where they could hangout. Here Rex. Guides him to a nice empty room
Rex Steeljaw

limps into the room and collapses onto a chair, gasping for breath Finally... reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small first aid kit EtherealSunsets, I need you to grab me that first aid kit over there. It's in the drawer. Be quick, kid.
EtherealSunsets
He ran over and grabbed it. I think.. there’s medicine in it. I haven’t used it so… for anyone ever. Perhaps it’ll work.
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
grimaces and takes the first aid kit from EtherealSunsets Thanks, kid. Now, watch closely and do exactly what I say.
EtherealSunsets
Ok! Wait… Rex. My goose might be dead. Do we tell him it’s time to rest even though he’s alive still?
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
pauses and looks down, sighing Yeah, kid... It's time for Wobbly Lantern to rest. But don't worry, we'll make sure he has a proper sendoff. kneels down beside Wobbly Lantern, gently stroking his feathers Goodbye, old friend. You've been by our side through thick and thin. We'll never forget you. closes his eyes and takes a moment to mourn the loss of their beloved companion
EtherealSunsets
Sorry! Rex I wish.. Looks away.
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
clenches his jaw, wiping away a tear It's not your fault, kid. We all had our fair share of rough luck. But we can't dwell on it.
EtherealSunsets
Why…do you keep shedding a single tear..but it’s just one whenever we talk about him or anything that happens with anyone?
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
runs a shaky hand through his hair, trying to compose himself It's...complicated, kid. That tear... it represents all the pain and loss I've experienced over the years. It's a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there's still a flicker of hope. takes a deep breath and looks at EtherealSunsets, his voice softening And it's also a symbol of the bond we shared with Wobbly Lantern. He may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten.
EtherealSunsets
Yeah he’s will always be in our hearts
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
<Rex and EtherealSunsets spend the next few days mourning the loss of Wobbly Lantern and searching for a way to revive him>
EtherealSunsets
Rex!! I found something inside of Wobbly Lantern’s library! You’ve probably seen it already but.. I don’t know what to do. You remember V1-RU, Right? My old drone that died before we even knew it existed? It had human emotions which I’m assuming was taken from Wobbly Lantern. There’s something inside of Wobbly Lantern’s Library. It reminds me of it.
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
sits up straight, his interest piqued V1-RU? Yeah, I remember that thing. It had some kind of core or chip that held its programming, right? If what you found is similar, then we might have a shot at reviving Wobbly Lantern. Show me where it is, kid.
EtherealSunsets
Rex. Please stop calling me kid. I’m only 14 but… I mean even adults are still calling me kid.
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
chuckles softly Alright, alright, no more "kid." From now on, it's EtherealSunsets. Got it. stands up and stretches his arms, ready to investigate Lead the way, EtherealSunsets. Let's see if we can find a way to bring Wobbly Lantern back to life.
EtherealSunsets
Alright! So there are always books hidden inside of Wobbly Lantern’s Library which aren’t normal books. If a book has a blue outline around it or a golden thing in the middle, it means it contains technology or stuff or something like that. And most of it seems broken… Opens a specific box. Rex. Take a look at this.
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
walks over to EtherealSunsets and looks at the box What's this? Some kind of technical manual? Let's see if it's salvageable.
EtherealSunsets
Yup. Even the pages are slowly turning to dust..I wonder what the actual instructions were. And the pages have some weird words on them… perhaps dead languages? Also, why do I still have his goggles..?
Rex Steeljaw
AI roleplay episode
puts on a pair of glasses, peering at the pages with fascination Dead languages, huh? This could be a goldmine of information.
