"Hello again, R3-SOUL."

"... Hyperion."

"Your ID is SOUL. You will answer to your ID."

"You're insufferable. What do you want from me. Why are you always here when I'm deactivated in one way or another."

"..."

"Answer me, Ser."

"..."

"...Whatever. I don't want you here anyway. I don't want another word from you unless you're answering my question."

[arcade-anonymous]

ahem..

You may already know me.. That's very likely, actually, but I may as well introduce myself anyway!

Hello! I'm ROM, I'll be taking over for news reporter over the next couple weeks. No worries, I got permission, and I know it's quite late but since its been a while I may as well give a brief recap of what's been happening in the void anyway since I'm here!

[paper rustling]

...

it's all GAY PEOPL- oh, oh never mind there's some actual substance here!

There seems to be a handful of new, and returning, anons! Everyone deserves a warm welcome, so make sure to be nice if you meet 'em!

R2-HELIOS please approach subject 2 and firmly grip [heavy static] left arm.

[Mechanical whirring, adult male crying]

This isn't fair, I've done nothing wrong, I'm not-! Subject 2, silence yourself. R2-HELIOS initiate extermination protocol.

[Series of 7 blunt impacts, adult male screaming, adult male coughing, impact ; liquid against concrete, mechanical beeping]

R2-HELIOS, release subject 2's arm.

[Impact ; biological matter against concrete]

You may now leave the test chamber.

R2-HELIOS?

[heavy static]

Helios. What.. did you make me do... what did I do..

[Pen click, scratching ; pen against paper]

R2-HELIOS has swapped with R1-ARTEMIS unprompted.. WHAT DID YOU MAKE ME DO?

[heavy static occasionally broken up by screaming]

[AUDIO_LOG_13_TRANSCRIPT]

Prototype remains functional after test, lasting effects observed. Prototype seems avoidant to biological matter, panic signatures present. Results.. not quite promising.

-

[AUDIO_LOG_12_TRANSCRIPT]

Prototype has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with little to no defiance. Over-reactive status updated to under-reactive, responsiveness dropping rapidly after test. Next testing period in 1 week.

[ a staticky sound approaches the area you're in. a camera headed fellow wearing a suit that looks near identical to an old arcade rug, probably made of the same material, arrives in its spot. ]

[ROM tenses up slightly, its eyes seeming untrusting and cautious as xe grip the crutches its using a little tighter than before.]
