(the orange markings on its body fade....)

(it looks at you for a good long while, as if waiting for you to say something.....)

(it whirrs)

(before stepping a few steps back, to let Plink come down)

...

-Plink sniffs, then clambers down to the forest floor-

-he looks up at the beastie, his gaze level-

Do you have a name, friend?

(it's not speaking)

(probably because it's a robot... or an animal... or an animal robot)

He stops, thinking that whatever it is, he can handle it on his own. He turns and heads back into the house.

-he gingerly walks towards it-

-reaching up to trace a hand along its markings, its ridges and ornamentation-

...Time has not been well to you, elder one.

-he frowns, to himself, sadly-

It seems a shame. How long have you been out here, in the cold and dark?

(if it could speak, it would likely respond on the order of "100 years" or "1000 years")

(the rust and grime and moss couldn't have just appeared overnight...)

(it takes a step backward, revealing to Plink that one of its legs is missing)

...Let's find you some shelter, old heart.

-starts walking off into the woods, looking for a cave large enough that the Guardian can rest in-

...

(it takes a while for the Guardian to comprehend that Plink is beckoning it to follow, rather than leave it be)

(but it eventually clicks, and the Guardian follows after, slowly and methodically)

-after some measure of walking, the two of them come across a rather large cave-

-he looks over his shoulder-

This should do the trick, don't you think?

-and walks inside-

(it waits outside, doesn't seem to want to... in fact, it's glowing orange again, as if registering that you're its enemy or one such enemy is nearby—)

(...oh)

(oh that's a lion's roar from inside the cave plink)

(ohp that's a lion alright)

Alright, then, let's get started.

-Flipping a switch, a crane lowers a metallic platform to the mouth of the hole...-

First thing's first, we'll position them to each side and have them lift and carry the reactor to the platform. We'll then lower it down.

-Plink cartwheels backwards out of there, in a flash, clambering atop the Guardian-

...Mm.

(Blink fiddles around with his robit a bit, to make 100% sure he's got a feel for it... before moving it over to one end of the reactor.)


(the Guardian begins to lock onto the lion with its targeting sight... but with Plink on top of its head, it can't backpedal at full speed to get a clean shot)

(thus, the already-aggravated lion lunges at the Guardian, staggering it and likely sending Plink to the ground)

Gnn—!

-he lands on his feet, but only just-

-he reaches down to his belt, yanking a curved dagger from its sheathe-

-and holds it ready, twirling it in his hand, remaining in a crouched coiled posture as he stares the lion down-

(the lion paces, waiting for Plink to make the first move...)

(the Guardian, meanwhile, is just watching - it knows full well that any attempts to use its laser will just result in Plink getting caught in the blast)

-he makes strange rhythmic movements towards the lion - almost dancelike, they make it hard to see at what moment and angle an attack will come from-

-but, just as quickly, Plink thrusts towards the lion's eye, his hand darting forward in a blur-

(the lion teeters back and forth, as if trying to keep up with this dance—)

(—at least until the knife ends up in its eye, leading it to thrash around and roar in pain, hoping to catch Plink in its claws or its fangs—!)
