SS Golden Mingle!

[cabbagedetective]

Who: The crew of the SS Golden
Broadcast: Nope
Action: SS Golden
When: 6/10 to 6/30


[With the exciting lights and sounds of the casino behind them, things seem to have really wound down for the fleet. With very little to do outside of the ship, what better way to try and stave off cabin fever than by socializing with one's fellow crew members? Compare casino winnings, swap stories about anything the other mysterious planet they left behind, or maybe just stare out the window together at the passing space debris. The choice is yours!]

[Yeeeah definitely the kind of thing you don't see every day. Megaman would agree, really! This is all a pretty new experience to him too, if he's being honest.

But well, introductions probably don't get much more awkward than this--

Adachi crops up in the doorway, breaking the silence that had been otherwise hanging over the ship for a couple hours now, and Megaman almost falls out of his seat with the surprise of it. Turning to the door, he automatically tries to kind of--cover the opened-up arm with his free hand, as if this is somehow going to help things at all whatsoever.]

A-ah! Oh, hi, uh--this isn't what it looks like! [A beat, as the mild panic begins to let up and he blinks down at his arm for a moment.] Or...well, I guess it's exactly what it looks like, but--okay, it might look bad, but there's nothing to worry about here! Just. Getting in a bit of maintenance, you know.... [His voice trails off awkwardly, and he straightens a bit in his seat.] Um, can I help you with something, mister...?

[Adachi approaches Megaman's little work station. His expression isn't so much of shock or awe, as it is with a sort of child-like curiosity. He's not even really looking at Megaman himself, moreso his disembodied arm still sitting on the table. Adachi is looking it over from a variety of different angles.]

Wow, it really is a robotic arm...

[He then looks up at Megaman.]

So you're a robot? I guess there were bound to be some around. I mean, you can't have a sci-fi adventure like this without some robots being thrown into the mix.

[Well, alright, that's--that's okay too! Megaman supposes it's a reasonable enough reaction. Especially if you've never seen a robot before, which maybe this particular guy hasn't. Can't judge that, can he? No, probably not. As Adachi invites himself in Megaman accepts the new audience with mildly awkward grace, shrugging a bit and starting to sort out the tools on his desk as Adachi gets his fill of looking at the arm.]

Uh, yeah, that's right! I've got a robot body here. Still kind of getting used to it, to be honest...I'm actually not usually a robot! I'm a computer program, a NetNavi--but I guess the guys around here figured I ought to be in the real world for their show... [He pops a tool back into the toolbox also on the desk with his free hand, glancing up at Adachi.] It's funny, though, I haven't actually run into a lot of other robots here yet! As far as I can tell, anyway. But I guess it does make sense that there'd be robots, especially in space...

[Adachi looks at Megaman with new-found interest. Even better! He's not specifically a robot, but an AI of some kind. He had to admit that this was kind of cool.]

A "NetNavi?" So you're like some kind of super AI or something?
