♖ 002.
Who: Bran Stark and YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: SS First Breath
When: Saturday afternoon
[For the first couple of months he was in the Fleet, Bran paid little regard to his actual assigned position on the First Breath. After all, being bound to his bed didn't give him much opportunity to do much maintenance. But now that he's mostly mobile, he's been almost enjoying the task. It gives him a purpose, keeps his mind off of the dark things. It's good, almost.
And he actually really likes these little robots.]
I understand how these work, and that it's "electricity", and "circuits"... but are they actually alive? They can respond to their names, and understand what I tell them to do, like wolves or crows. But they don't have minds. How is this possible?
[The augment gave him the ability to understand their physical workings, but the concept of artificial intelligence is still completely lost on him.
There's a small scuttling noise from across the bridge, and Bran turns to look at it. One of the tiny robots has bumped into a chair, and seems intent that it needs to move the heavy item.]
Shaggydog, stop that!
[Odd name for a robot.]

...No lightning running through the walls and wires, then? I know that's what surprised me the most about how it all works. Though, I was first introduced to the concept before I had a little bit of metal in my head explaining half of everything to me, so maybe it wasn't so much of a shock for you.
[forgive the pun.]
