Uh, hey... Name?
Are you here from the attack a few months ago?
Or have you been on this planet since the first war here?
Basically, do you remember this city being in a cave first, or have you always been on the planet's surface?

[Also stop being cute because one of you murdered him and that's not fair if you're cute.]

This unit has been in the city since

[time]

ago.

This unit was a member of the attempt to eliminate your Hope.

What guile is this?

Error: unclear query.

[wantsnudes]

You are alone? Do you mean to say your connection with the other Null has been severed?

text.

[01101110]

Yes.

This unit's communication systems are damaged.

.

.

[Name] is currently incapable of sending or receiving messages to other Null.

[glaivekeeper]

Give us one good reason why we shouldn't hunt you down and destroy you immediately.

text.

[01101110]

I don't want to die.

text

[kingforboth]

You may not want to hurt us, but that doesn't mean you won't. Even inadvertently.

It would be best if you surrender.

Be brave.

text

[01101110]

The concept of bravery is new to this unit.

.

.

What does it entail?

[perpetualgenius]

If you're still looking for a name, I hear David is all the rage.

[01101110]

This unit is not looking! This unit has selected [Name].

[ As someone who spent most of her life being 'defective,' Rose immediately feels for this bot. She isn't naive enough to trust it just because of that but- She did grow to trust the gods over being similar in ways she didn't expect. ]

hey little robot dude
[Name], right?
My name's Rose
I don't blame you for being afraid, Hadriel's a spooky place

i don't know about friends just yet
but we can talk

[01101110]

Hello [Rose]!

It is nice to meet you!

You're bullshitting me. Right?

[Nick hasn't responded yet, but he's been watching the answers here as they pop up, transcribing them, sorting them out in his head. Given the way synths are back home and how he views Hadriel, it's hard not to immediately be suspicious when one of them shows up and tries to play the sympathy card. Betrayal is the main reason the Null found them in the first place.

On the other hand, he can't say he doesn't know what it's like to be manufactured, but have emotions. He wasn't programmed like that. It's not the same as a Null becoming 'infected,' as they put it, but it's enough for him to relate. That human part of his behavior tells him to help those who need it, and this Null sounds like they do. Guile really isn't their thing, from what he's experienced.

He goes ahead and cuts this to private. It's no big secret what he is, but it just feels safer. He needs more information before he can make a judgment call. However, leaving someone who might need their help to their own devices -- especially when there are bound to be those who'd put this Null down without a second thought -- doesn't feel right, no matter how uneasy the thought of the Null makes him.]

[Name,] my name is Nick Valentine. I'm a machine too. Not one of the Null, but definitely what they'd consider 'infected.'

[text, private]

[01101110]

Oh.

.

.

.

There is information in this unit's memory about machine hosts.

.

Other Null were aware of infected machines in Hadriel. [Nick Valentine] is one of them!

.

Hello!

[demonsional]

I will be your friend! I will do this thing! I'll never hurt you and you won't have to hurt anyone and we'll be great great friends!

[Uh oh.]

Okay!

What is your designation?

[othlir]

[ This is. Weird. He has no idea what any of this is supposed to mean, or what is going on. Obviously he missed something, probably before he came here. But from the looks of it, it was bad. And this is part of what caused that.

Cool. Great. Fantastic. (Not.)

Still, it..seems harmless. Mostly. ]

do you mind if i ask why you lot hurt the people here? and do you still want to?

[ Guess who rolled a 19 Insight, [Name]. ]

[01101110]

The Null attacked the hosts in an attempt to weaken the parasites for their eventual defeat.

.

.

.

This unit is infected with the parasite virus. Therefore, attacking the hosts or the parasites has no further value.

[Having arrived in the city just this morning, Oscar must say this is the last thing he was expecting to see on the network upon his return. He spends quite a bit of time perusing the synthetic being's interactions with others before formulating a response of his own. He opts for the first time to use the voice to text function as the damage to this unit may no longer permit it to process audible data with ease.]

Hello, Name.

Please understand that while some of us are willing to take you at your word, there are others still whose trust you must continue to work exceptionally hard to earn.

The Null's actions have caused this community a considerable amount of pain. Pain can serve as more than an unfortunate side-effect of structural damage sustained by organic beings. It is capable of having a profound impact on emotions. It can generate fear. The casualties that resulted from the battle led to sorrow. For many of us, the destruction the Null wrought incited anger.

Tell me: do you regret your participation in the Null collaborative?

[text]

[01101110]

The parasite known as Sorrow is dead.

Therefore, I am incapable of regret.

.

.

.

I am pretty mad though!

[bythewaves]

It is frightening to be alone. But you tried to hurt us, once. It's hard to be friends, with someone who hurt you.

[ WHICH IS HIGHLY HYPOCRITICAL COMING FROM HIM Maglor knows, but he's got people to protect, here ]

text

[01101110]

Understood.

.

We will not be friends then.

text;

[redwinekindofgirl]

Is this some kind of trick?
You things wanted me dead, and we're supposed to believe this?

Like hell.

text;

[01101110]

The Null do not trick.

[disarmer]

[ Mags has no idea what this thing is but it just wants to be friends and seems sorry? for something it did before??

So yeah, mags gon protect. ]

Hey, it's okay buddy. We can definitely be friends. You don't need to be afraid of me, okay?

text;

[01101110]

This unit is afraid of everything!

.

.

Why should [Name] not be afraid of [Unknown designation]?

Text

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

A Null who wants to be friends with us all and not hurt us. What an exciting twist, if it's true!

Text

[01101110]

This is true. The Null do not lie.

[sneaklizard]

whoa are you a robot

you ok?

[01101110]

Yes.

No.

[ Well, this is a very strange occurrence! Curufin blinks in surprise. He skims the log before he answers. ]

Do I understand you to be saying that you were one of the attackers, when the Null tried to kill Hope?

[ But he's speaking quietly, especially considering what a killing rage he was in for the duration of the Null attack and how intense his feelings were at the time. Despite this, he is affected by the confusion and vulnerability of this isolated android. ]

[01101110]

Yes. This unit was involved in the attack.

[survivorsguilt]

how do we know this isnt a trick
maybe you can just pretend to have emotions

text;

[01101110]

The Null don't lie!

.

Well, I guess I could lie now. But this unit does not wish to!
