No, I'm completely serious.

[Crunch crunch crunch, goes the snowcrust; branches rattle in the breeze. Besides that, the only noise is them talking.]

Think about it. What were the conditions on that planet like?

[heresyandlace]

Terrible. But I don't see what that has to do with...

[and he just kind of gestures vaguely at the air because the concept of tiny robots in their systems is so alien to him, he can't really explain it back in context.]

[aberrant_type]

All right... so if after visiting that planet, we ended up with little robots sucking our energy out. Where do you suppose it would be going?

[heresyandlace]

[hang on, he's still stuck on something.]

...Little robots?

[aberrant_type]

Teeny tiny little machines. Robots.

Yes.

[heresyandlace]

Because of red stones?

[aberrant_type]

Uh-huh. It seems like they were the source of 'em.

[are you stupid tek what is the problem here]

[heresyandlace]

[...he looks vaguely sick...]

How can a stone do that? ...Are they still dangerous?

[aberrant_type]

You're not still sick, right?

[She looks at least somewhat sympathetic. He was her patient, after all; perhaps it's a holdover from that.]

I expect either you fought it off somehow, or your augment helped you deal with the invasion. But you probably shouldn't eat it again. Why did you do that?

[heresyandlace]

[ugggh, a heaves a longsuffering groan.]

It was made of such a good material...

[aberrant_type]

Tiny robots. Crawling all over in your stomach.

[heresyandlace]

[--ha, his face actually twists up into a bit of an inhuman snarl when he hisses at her. utterly disgusted.]

Stop that.

1/2

[aberrant_type]

[Briefly, the face of someone who's Way Too Into It appears]

[aberrant_type]

Ahem... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it wasn't good material at all.

[heresyandlace]

[ugh don't give him that look. he rolls his eyes away from her so he doesn't have to see her face.]

It was wonderful material. Clean and fantastically conductive. The whole thing really is a shame.

[aberrant_type]

Wonderful material if you want to get infested with energy-eating nanomachines.

They're probably what made it so good in the first place.

[heresyandlace]

Stop saying that...

[for something so cozy with disease and writhing decay, this is really grossing him out. unsettling him to his core.]

[aberrant_type]

[She lets out a tiny, amused huff - can't help it.]

Sorry, but that's the way it is.

But like I said, you're better now, correct? Either your system fought it off, or the augment did. [Her bet's on the augment but hey, he can have that for his ego if he wants.]

[heresyandlace]

Yes. It's over and past now, which means you can stop describing it.

[aberrant_type]

You can't be squeamish about that... really?

[She'll move it along though... if he's going to be such a baby.]

Does all of your species like eating conductive things, or is it a personal predilection? [a personal weird thing]

[heresyandlace]

I have every right to be.

[don't you get in the way of his being a baby.]

...And yes, it's a family trait.

You people eat vitamins, and we eat things that are far more efficient.

[aberrant_type]

Why?

[Would he have every right to be, that is. Isn't he supposed to be older than her?]
