Eires: "My gear is a suit of armour that could, with the right modifications, move on its own by use of an AI and the right operating systems. It's heavier than regular armour and totally encloses a plot, rather than housing them within separate pieces, like the kind B312, my friend, has. There's electrical and mechanical systems housed throughout to increase output and performance and it's vital that all repairs work with and around those as needed."

(@Asagi;Hathor) The King In Yellow: ~walks into the room, his hair messy and eyes adorned with bags~ Not really. But it can predict some possibilities. I'd say that it works like an abacus which thinks up stuff faster than one who operates it does. A crystal ball fits, I guess, since it often has will of its own.

John: ...so it's a powered exoskeleton, then.

How big is it?


Naomi: -to Hathor- Sometimes. They can't do it perfectly, but if you get a smart enough computer they can get really close.

Think of a computer as, like... yeah, what Hastur said, t's like a hyper-advanced abacus. It's a machine that's good at math. Really, really good at math. So good at math that it can do a lot of weird things I can't easily explain just by knowing how to move numbers the right way.

It's a gross oversimplification, but hey, starting point, right?

Eires; "it's about 2.74 meters tall."


Roy woudn't be able to pinpoint the reason for it, but an odd feeling might send shivers down his spine as he walks.

(@Albert) The King In Yellow: Well, sorta. And stop calling me names. It embarrasses me.

(@Naomi) The King In Yellow: Are there any stories in your world that tell of an advanced AI that went astray?

(@Nova) The King In Yellow: So you are indeed a cluster of imaginary numbers. Yet burdened with will, as befits a SI? Peculiar.

John: Bring it in and I'll see what I can do.


Six: -to Quartz- Making sure my new weapons are up to snuff.

You?

Naomi: -to Hastur- There's hundreds of thousands. "Robot rebellion" is its own artistic genre.

Six: -to Quartz- Submachine gun. You barely feel the kick, but it shoots damn fast.

Not very good for anything other than close quarters, though.

Naomi: -to Nova- Yeah...

...you probably don't think highly of that. For understandable reasons.
