Tell it to list functions.

tell it you want to do a core transfer due to the body having critical damage.

Try G/Operational Status then G/Repair status
then G/Power status.

let's get operation and then apply for admin.

Just to see how much time we have to solve this thing before it goes dead again.

>"G/Repair status"
How much can we fix

And in a vain hope that it would be that easy.

Alright then. "Let's have 'G/Repair status' please,"

And a image has been transmitted to my datapad.

Ouch, seems we got lucky. A defrag is in order, let's get admin status for that.

Well that's just pleasant. You see, I can say that my name, Volt Nullbuilt, and that my sex is masculine programming, and that I am a repair servitor.

But I don't have any proper ID, and I have no idea how many times I have been reformatted by the previous mes so I have no idea of my age either.

>Please choose a proper identity for Volt and a estimate as to what his age will be. Please keep in mind that this is permanent and will be utilized throughout the quest.

((And sorry I didn't update sooner, was sick the past week.))

Not sure what is meant by "choose identity" considering he already has a name, but for age I'd go with 204.

based on personality i'd say you are in the mid 20s. compared to humans of course.

ID serial go with QLT842

>>615678
783 years old.

>>615683
All Servitors have a serial and identification as to what machine they serviced. But Volt doesn't have that identification so you get to come up with that. The most important part is his age. You decide that the most.

... I'll just go with 26. 204 seems a bit excessive, plus with a machine this old anything older might label me as scrap for retirement. We want it co-operating with us... at least for now.

Well... that's a long time to wait. But this is a incomplete copy of the AI to this guardian... should I wait?

by all means.

Um, if you wait, you should do so outside, so that if anyone comes around to try to scavenge the place you can drive them off.

By the hands of man this guy is annoying...

If he talks anymore smack him.

Well, if you can't force him back into the trunk, might as well buckle him up in the passenger seat.

Tell him you are going to deliver him to your employer. He should be thankful he is still in operational condition, and he'd better think of a good excuse once you get there, so that your employer doesn't just kill him.

No. It could mean the storage device is dense.

Let's get going. Unless you can salvage anything from the power room now that it's not required for anything?

would the empty power cores be useful in any way? even empty they are high tech devices.

Ask him what the hell he's talking about. Psychic powers?! You found something interesting in the desert and decided to check it out, that's all.

Take Madware out and tell him to get talking.

Dude, you are as crazy as Madcap if you think I have psychic powers.

How would that even work? Robots only have the stuff they have built in. Psionics usually take organic stuff to randomly manifest.

Thank you for sitting through this! It has been fun and now I take a short break to collect myself and get ready for the next big Power Quest part. This will be a ongoing series and thanks for helping Volt get to the end of Part 1.
