I've never been good at titles, but have a robot freakout

Who: Legion and … you?
What: Arrival of one very distressed robot
When: Late May, probably 5/27 I guess
Where: 3rd year classrooms, Locker 114
Warnings: Legion has a freakout, possible mentions of topics like genocide.



A)For a few moments, the Geth that wakes up in a classroom is happy, or something approximating it. Carefree, at the very least, with only the thought of being rewarded for a task well done on their mind. Perhaps a bit of confusion-waking up? what happened to them?-but overall they were content, and mostly just idly curious when they found the tapes and decided to pop one into the VCR.

It’s … well it’s strange, to say the least. They don’t think they’ve ever been in that strange place before, and yet, it feels familiar.

"Geth do not infiltrate." The timing, the words, the intonation (or lack of it), are all a perfect match to the ones spoken in the vid. Why would Geth infiltration even be a concern? It is a question they ponder, during the blissful minutes before the video ends and it all comes rushing back to them.

Their programs are immediately occupied by the sudden flood of data, and anyone who comes by might find them standing utterly, eerily, still.

And then, they begin to shake. Their programs dedicated to movement are no longer able to process inputs or instructions, and their movements are jerky, poorly coordinated. They stumble away from the tv, smacking into a desk and falling onto it, spasming and slipping and unable to get up.


B)They are in a school. They are a student. This is impossible. They were destroyed.

This environment is a lie. They cannot trust it, or its inhabitants.

They also cannot escape.

Without any leads on what to do, they head for what their "memory" (have they been hacked) says is their locker, hoping to find their gun.

Unfortunately, when they open said locker, no gun is there to be found. It might be somewhat humorous, actually, the way they pause, pull out a T-shirt that says Not A Robot, and just … stare at it. At least until they haul off and slam the locker door in a rage.

-- Oh, gosh, you talk! [also the honest answer to both of those questions are "it would not be unreasonable to see that.

Hi! I'm Stephanie. You're new, right? [because she'll be mildly unnerved if she just. never noticed this before now.]
