R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[Not to keep being the normie ass that keeps picking the first answer, but GIVE US THE C0R61, THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE. You can't cry when you're looking at puppies. (Please don't contain sad backstory about puppies.)]

[lockdownmods]

[You cannot go wrong with the C0R61.

It's a very complete file, including the blueprints, should you wish to make your very own. But there are also several pictures of the good boy to warm your heart.

And one text document.

It reads:

Performed admirably during the Entrance Exam. Enjoyed the company of several of the Prospects. Well designed in both physical and mental aspects.

But if Vivienne does not return to finish the project, it's not certain whether he will follow orders in the absence of his "Mistress". His code may need to be re-written.

If you examine it, it's clear that this file was added after the Entrance Exam concluded.]

cw brief pet death mention

[starswink]

[Unless these blueprints also come with detailed instructions "for dummies", Yoosung probably will not be making any more C0R61s. Then again, he does have lots and lots of spare time. And if Sally had been a robot, she would have survived the accident.......

Okay, no, we are not going down this dark tunnel, he's going to keep reading and have his heart warmed by the pictures!! And squint at that last sentence. LEAVE THE GOOD BOY ALONE. But then, there's nothing he can do about that here as far as he knows... he'll just have to hope Vivi's taking care of him in secret.

... Well, is there anything else in here? If not, he'll see what E11E is.]

[lockdownmods]

[It would seem that Laboratory Assistant E11E is a mechanical red bird based on the photographs! There are also blueprints here as well as several reports tracking functionality.

It would seem that she was used in the school before the Entrance Exam. Despite her small size it seems that she was created with several functions that allowed her to keep up after the Robotics Laboratory.

...and again, there's a text document.

Elle's functionality should not be disrupted by Vivienne's absence. While she may ask questions, she was designed to be obedient. She will continue to keep the lab clean and can assist with construction or repairs if necessary.]

[starswink]

Huh, from before? I guess it makes sense there'd be a robot lab somewhere in the school, but we never saw her.

[Should he be feeling some kind of personal connection to these red feathers? No.... of course not.... but if the bird is still there, then maybe they can find it. He'll have to remember to look.

Should he move on to humanoid robots now?]

[lockdownmods]

[Perhaps when you find said lab you will find her as well! But for now--

It seems like it's time to move on to the humans!]

[starswink]

[Yep!! He's gonna backtrack to that then. What's in here?]

[lockdownmods]

[There are MORE THAN TWO OPTIONS IN HERE how about that. Pick your poison--

> Lucian
> Prier
> Sola
> Violet
> Eve
> Megumi]

[starswink]

Whoa!! So many...

[UMM HMM, well let's read these in backwards order then. Step on me Miss Megumi]

[lockdownmods]

[It's a rather large file. There's no blueprints per se but there's a lot of codes which probably don't mean much to you. The largest sections of code are labeled AI and CC.

But there are also several pictures of her as well. She looks so serious--

There's also some detailed information on her as well if you want to snoop.

> Name: Satou Megumi
> Age: 23
> Nationality: Japanese
> Language(s): English, Japanese, Spanish, French
> Build: 39-25-37
> Purpose: Supervision, Business
> Personality: Business, Formal

- logic forward
- strong/dominant
- intelligent
- obedient
- capable of giving orders]

[starswink]

Wow, the impression for this file is kinda different from what I got of her profile... business formal... I thought she was supposed to be more of the cutie gamer girl type.

["Strong and dominant..." h-huh.]

She must be really good.

[AT GAMES.]

[lockdownmods]

[Next up is... well it's your lovely host Eve! And the information in the file, including the blueprints and information in the bio match. It has similar coding files. But the part you can read goes along with several photos of the woman you've gotten to know a bit during your time in deadland!

> Name: Evelyn (Eve)
> Age: 22
> Nationality: American
> Language(s): English, French, Spanish, Dutch
> Build: 32-22-35
> Purpose: Data protection
> Personality: Eager to please, always seems a little overwhelmed despite her best attempts not to.

- does not yet have a physical body
- especially attached to Vivienne
- refers to her as "mom"]

[starswink]

[Yep, that's her all right... but this is kind of an odd notation...]

What do you mean she doesn't have a physical body...?

[She was holding the beer that she passed to him, wasn't she?? What does it mean!!

Maybe the next file will help.]

[lockdownmods]

[It's noticeable that this file is smaller-- not just that but so is the person it's about. There's also a photo.

> Name: Violet
> Age: 7
> Nationality: American
> Language(s): English
> Build: 24-20-24
> Purpose: Emotions Development
> Personality: sweet, affectionate

- mind is still developing
- processes emotions incredibly well












No help.]

[starswink]

.......

[That's.

Ominous.

Can't they help this little girl??? And with what???

Umm, what else is there...]

[lockdownmods]

[Three more!

The next two show the same picture so it's hard to be sure which is which.

They both have extensive codes and blueprints. But the remarkable part about them is that they're identical physically. They have two different profiles though.

> Name: Sola
> Age: 17
> Nationality: American
> Language(s): English
> Build: 35-25-35
> Purpose: Personality Development
> Personality: sweet, independent, spontaneous

- can complete Prier's sentences and predict her "sister's" reactions
- very protective of Prier
- admires Vivienne

> Name: Prier
> Age: 17
> Nationality: American
> Language(s): English
> Build: 35-25-35
> Purpose: Personality Development
> Personality: harsh, cynical, sassy

- mind is still developing
- processes emotions incredibly well

- can complete Sola's sentences and predict her "sister's" reactions
- very protective of Sola
- gets frustrated with Vivienne
- fights with Lucian ]

[starswink]

[HE'S STILL KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT VIOLET... but he'll move on to these profiles. Twin sisters, opposite personalities... well, that's pretty tropey, isn't it. He likes their hair though. Whoever... is whom. Also, is one of them finished and the other not? Only one of them says "Mind is developing and processes emotions well".... Weird.

But apparently she fights with Lucian. Who dat. Is he next?]

[lockdownmods]

[Ah yes. The last one. He too has photos. There's a lot of coding with this one-- he also seems to be the oldest. Not just physically, but also by the dates on the files.

> Name: Lucian
> Age: 19
> Nationality: Japanese
> Language(s): English, Japanese, Chinese
> Build: 38-35-40
> Purpose: Data Analysis
> Personality: flirty, troublemaker, nosey, emotional

- bisexual (?)
- fights with Prier
- moody
- tries to get into things he shouldn't]

[starswink]

[tries to get into things he shouldn't?? Like what, everyone's pants? It does say he's flirty. And also...]

W-What... Why is he the only one with a sexual preference here? [AND WHY IS HE GOOD LOOKING. Megumi is cuter, but it's not like he's trying to find out what all of theirs is...

You know what. He shouldn't open these cans of worms. There's an innocent high schooler in the room!!]

...I'm done with the computer files! Except the email.

[He wonders if he should leave that alone. But then again.... Violet could be in danger. So he should read the email just in case there is some news or other. She'd want him to do that then, right?]

I'm gonna open it!

[lockdownmods]

[Her e-mail inbox is actually fairly well cleaned and organized, compared to the way her things were physically when that office was hers. No spam-- in fact, most of the e-mails come and go to and from one particular e-mail address. s.gallivan@eic.net.

...even those though, she doesn't send a lot. Most of them are progress reports. Excited gabber about this or that which she completed with one of the robots. Some are questions. And even more rarely, she just shares excitement about things she's working on. But they all have to do with robotics.

...guess Vivienne really didn't have any friends.]

[starswink]

[Poor Vivi. She really needs to find someone to hang out with here.

Hmm.... is there anything interesting about who she's reporting these to?]

[lockdownmods]

[Absolutely nothing interesting at all.

Their responses, when there are any are short and dry as hell.]

[starswink]

[Wow, tough crowd Vivi works for.

Well, if there's nothing else of interest in the emails, then maybe it's finally time to move on to the paper files... what are we looking at here?]

[lockdownmods]

[There are some familiar papers-- student files and-- oh. Now there are also staff files. Some of them you've probably already seen courtesy of the dead that came later. But there's one that might stand out for an unusual reason.

It's empty.]

[starswink]

[Ooookay. And what one is that?]
