Nobody controls me but me!

[ Is that the part you should be reacting to??????? ]

[stabsbothways]

Then wouldn't 'soldier' be a better word than 'weapon'?

[ Grace in an uncharacteristic (so she thinks) moment of emotional support. ]

[nonono7]

Oh, if we're going to change it up, can I go with the term "Hero"!?!

[stabsbothways]

Sure, why not. [ You huge fucking dork. ]

So, to summarize. Being a robot means you can fly through space with no problem.

...have you explored the Marsiva any?

[nonono7]

The ship we got here in...?

No. Just the asteroids, and then a couple billion kilometers out.

Should I have?

[stabsbothways]

A couple 'billion kilometers'? [ She's making up words. ]

Yes. The fleet ships don't let us explore too closely to the thing, since they're tethered to it. But you don't have that kind of limitation, I assume.

[nonono7]

Do you use 'miles'!? Sorry. I'll switch it up! It was a couple billion miles out.

[nonono7]

And don't worry, I'll make exploring the Marsiva my next mission!

After I finish cleaning up some of the clutter around here!

[stabsbothways]

[ She's getting the beginnings of a headache. ]

A mile like distance? [ That doesn't get used that often, its more common to hear distance explained by the time it takes to get there, but she's heard the term in more academic circles. But billion? That's a nonsense word. ]

So, very far away, then? You can go really fast, then? Faster than one of these ships?

[ We'll address the Marsiva issue once this gets resolved. ]

[nonono7]

I don't know! I've never seen these ships actually, um. Move.

I don't just fly, though, I use warping.

[stabsbothways]

[ This headache is gonna get worse before it gets better, isn't it. ]

And what's that?

[nonono7]

When your heart tells you that you need to be somewhere, distance will have no meaning! That's what warping is!

[stabsbothways]

Wanting something badly enough, in my experience, isn't enough to get it.

Not without a lot of slit throats in between wanting it and getting it, anyway.

[nonono7]

That sounds very violent. [ Nono you literally split a moon in half. ]

[stabsbothways]

Violence is life, claygirl.

If a door is stuck, what else are you going to do except hit it harder?

[nonono7]

Claygirl?? [ WOW she isn't made of CLAY. ]

[stabsbothways]

Just a nickname, doll.

You just reminded me of a story, closest thing I can think of to a 'robot.'
