It's a bag of clean laundry, it's been there for a while.

That . . . doesn't even make sense.

(I)
>Steal panties
they might come in handy since Radical Girl stole the other pairs I had on hand.
>then activate robot girl
well if I don't activate her she'll probably just gather dust

(II)
Saitnen: "Well here goes."
*SHUNK*
Megam: *gasp* "Error! I am still damaged! I am leaking power! I am-"

(III)
looks like she's noticed something . . .

Megam: " oh . . . "

(IV)
Megam: " . . . Am I just an object to you?"

>>745047
"No, that's not really it and this is gonna sound really messed up, but dad's kind of fucked up and I need to take those for superpowers. Because of course that's how he'd make it work. Changing to a less terrible topic, any idea how we'd fix you up?"

>>745047
Note: Put pants back on robot next time before activating.

Wave it off and say "Nah, it's a long story, I'll explain later. I'm Saitnen Soulsworn, who are you?"

"no, but i need them for this" then, feed the machine "you know how dad is"

>>745047
Oh. Um, geeze, no sorry. I was just feeding Dad's stupid perverted power armor. It eats panties. (She knew him, if anyone would believe it, she would).

Um. Sorry. I don't really have the skills to repair you. Are you gonna be okay?

...um. You know Dad's dead right? Or at least, that ninjas stole his sword with a magic sword or whatever? (When was she shut off? You don't know how out of the loop she is).

>Megam-Additor-89
What were her duties for your father, anyways? A lab assistant? A maid? What are her skills?

All things with mass are objects. Shame is fleeting, but justice is eternal.

>>745059
This.

>>745047
She has handles for ears for a reason (probably)

You know what you need to do.

>>745222
And what you need to do is of course to consider how messed up your father's legacy is, and how what you just did was complicit in it. Yes panties power your armor, but it's one thing to profit from humiliating someone who just tried to murder you and a very different thing to profit from humiliating someone who did nothing to you and was simply an easy target. If you want to improve the world instead of being just another costumed maniac you'll have to do better at remembering the difference, and that starts with apologizing and giving them back if you haven't already fed them to the machine.

Why did you yank your little sister's panties from her butt. Why.

Shame on you.

Now seriously, get her new clothes, and pick out replacement parts for the eye socket and right arm. You might want to ask her where to find storage and a crafting table.

Also, does she have an ID or did your dad refuse to personify her for sex toy reasons? Actually, is she your sister or did your dad have some colleagues who worked on her as a side project? And of course you need to ask her if she knows anything about this @#$%ed up suit of STD perversion.

>>745047
"No, you're a person, but things are awful right now.
Dad built this thing, assassins killed him over it, and now I need it to stop the assassins and other people who keep trying to kill me.
I'll give you three guesses what dad decided this thing should run on, and the first two don't count.

I'll get you a pair of boxers. Those don't work.

I woke you up to ask if there's anybody else who could patch you up; I can't do it, and it's not safe for you to stay here."

>What were her duties for your father, anyways? A lab assistant? A maid? What are her skills?
basic assistance mostly, polishing things, cleaning dishes, fetching things from the store that sort of stuff.

(I)
Saitnen: "Uh, no? My dad kinda built this gear that feeds on panties, you know how he is"

I give her back her pants but keep the panties.

Megam: "Yes, I understand . . . Why have you reactivated me? I am still damaged."

Saitnen: "I was kind of hoping you could point me in the right direction for getting you repaired."

Megam: "Is your father not available?"

(II)

Saitnen: "He's kinda dead now."

Megam: " . . . oh, I was not informed . . . I'm sorry"

Saitnen: "Don't worry about it,happened while you were offline, anyone else?"

Megam: "A.R.K. Systems has the schematics and assembly parts to repair me."

Saitnen: "Uh don't you remember? A.R.K. Systems closed it's doors a year ago."

Megam: "I was not informed. Is Doctor Noah Kissed availible?"

Saitnen: "Oh come on! Dr.Kissed died three years before you where first turned online"

Megam: "I-"

Saitnen: "Yeah, yeah 'you were not informed', I get it."

Megam: "Perhaps I should power down.

Saitnen: "The A.R.K building might still have a few parts kicking around, could be worth a look.

(III)

Megam: " . . . I will go there, do not worry I will clean the floor before I leave."

Saitnen: "Clean the floor?"

I take a closer look at the dirt she's noticed, it's kind of in a strange pattern.

Looks like tire treads. Only one set, so either something came out, something went in and then cleaned itself somehow before leaving, or something went in and is still in there. Inspect the police tape, does it look like it's been removed and then stuck back in place? Also, does the door open in or out, or slide, or what? Inform Megam she does not need to clean this, it may be a clue or evidence.

Follow those tread marks.

I love that she's the first person to just accept the explanation that Dad was a terrible pervert.

>basic assistance mostly, polishing things, cleaning dishes, fetching things from the store that sort of stuff.
So she doesn't have the technical experience to work on / help with your gear? Oh well. Although I suppose it's possible Dad was just under utilizing her, just because he wanted a maid.

>>746016
ARK should have it's plans and files stored somewhere, even if they went out of business. Or failing that, whoever bought their liquidated assets on the cheap when they went out of business should. (Or if all else fails, there's the patent office).

>not informed (3x)
You need to give this poor girl access to a television, or a radio, or a computer with the internet, or something. She shouldn't be dependent on what scraps of information people decide to tell her. Especially if you're going to be leaving her alone here in between visits.

>I will go there, do not worry I will clean the floor before I leave.
Hey, good eye! Drag marks. Or tire tracks. These might be a clue.

Hey, this is an order. As of now, looking out for your own well being is a higher priority than cleaning. I appreciate you wanting to help, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?

okay, well, turn her back off before you leave so we don't need to worry about that power issue.

Strike a heroic pose and tell her in your best hero tone that you are going to help her get repaired, before throwing an around her, calling her sis, and telling her you and her are the only family you have now.

>>746016
Might be a memory issue as well as a power issue, if she doesn't remember so many things. Inquire.

one set of tracks, that's also pretty strange.

she's about as much my sister as the microwave.

Saitnen: "Hey, this is an order. As of now, looking out for your own well being is a higher priority than cleaning"

Megam: "I understand. Replacing me would cost you additional expenses."

Saitnen: "Eh, close enough. Also you should power back down for now."

Megam: "It will be done."

(II)
The tracks seem to go into the back yard.

Looks like some of the cops are still poking around.

(III)

Officer Cap: "Oh Hello Mr. Soulsworn, Sorry about the inconvenience but the investigation is still underway."

>she's about as much my sister as the microwave.
The microwave doesn't talk. ...and even if it does, it doesn't treat you like a person, or share your understanding for what a perverse jerk your dad could be.

>Officer Cap: "Oh Hello Mr. Soulsworn, Sorry about the inconvenience but the investigation is still underway."
That's okay. Did the crime scene guys manage to match these tracks to anything? A tire thread, maybe?

Does the trail continue past the fence? Can you follow it?

If we can't follow this lead (or the best we can do is encourage the cops to figure out what made this for us), I think the next thing you should do is poke around the ARK building, see if you ca find something to find robo(-won't-admit-she's-a)-sis.

Dude, she's the closest thing to a plucky sidekick you've got right now. Treat her nicely and get her some combat upgrades.

Close the investigation soon. Paris has the police in his pocket.

This end of the tire tracks leads away; where in the lab is the other end? Also, inspect the fence. Can you tell whether it has been broken inwards or outwards?

>she's about as much my sister as the microwave.
Your microwave doesn't have conversations with and/or sass you. ...Right?

Take a look at the fence wires. Are they bending out, or in? Because if they're bending out you need to tell the cops that you think something might have escaped from your dad's lab, you don't know what since he kept a lot secret from you, please do not blame me if whatever it is starts causing trouble I am telling you this and being cooperative right now as soon as I found out about it.

Officer Cap: "They're a custom job that's for sure, I doubt their's another pair like them in the city"

>Can you tell whether it has been broken inwards or outwards?
it looks like they've been cut with some sort of saw

Saitnen: "Does the trail continue past the fence? Can you follow it?"

Officer Cap: "I'm afraid not, once they reach the road they become impossible to follow."

check if any of your various upgrades can help.

... I got nothing.

The road's perfectly clean, but that's just the street sweepers that the city commissioned. None of the rails have been broken, so using an all-terrain vehicle to dive into the water is silly and unlikely. Building a new road over the tire tracks is madness, that hatch doesn't go under sea level at low tide, and A.R.K. could just confiscate your dad's work with some bull^&*( legal work if they needed to steal it.

The funny thing is how those tracks are extremely perpendicular to a narrow road overlooking a sharp set of cliffs. How many drivers enter the road at a 90 degree angle? My guess is that the vehicle used was smaller than a car, possibly capable of turning in place. A robot? Either way, it's still someone stealing your stuff, and there are too many robots and vehicles in this city to narrow the perpetrator down with tire tracks.

>you need to tell the cops that you think something might have escaped from your dad's lab, you don't know what since he kept a lot secret from you, please do not blame me if whatever it is starts causing trouble I am telling you this and being cooperative right now as soon as I found out about it.

>>748265
So... what, a segway or something?

>>748265
Well if they're one of a kind you'll just have to keep an eye out for them. Not sure if that makes it more likely the treads belong to some custom vehicle the baddies used, or if they're from something your dad built and they stole.

Oh hey look, the ARC building is right there. That's an easy lead to follow up on. Let's check it out.

Well I needed to go to A.R.K. Systems anyways, Might as well keep an eye out for small wheeled things while I'm there.

* * *
Well here it is the ARK building
(I)

*SHHHHH*

I always thought these automatic doors were really cool, but they seem not so great in the security department.

Speakers: " Welcome to A.R.K. Systems tours. where the medical robotic of today builds a better tomorrow! A.R.K Systems was founded ten years ago when . . .

aww crap looks like I entered the tour door.

Speakers: " . . . and to the left you will see our first series of medical robots the dependable MR-A, or Mr. Arthur . . .

It's kinda strange this place is still running, I though this whole building was shut down

Speakers: " . . . and now a word from our creator Doctor Noah Kissed!"

(III)

Noah Kissed: "Hello my friends I'm so happy you've decided to take the A.R.K systems tour! I'm so touched that I'm going to have to show you something special, something that isn't even on the market yet! I'd like to introduce you to the latest member of the MR family; MR-C or "Miss Mercy" as we call her here at the lab! Say hello Mercy!

Miss Mercy: "Hiya nice people, I just wuv making people feel better!"


Wait! that's the robot that attacked me at the hospital! A.R.K. Systems made that awful thing!?
no wonder they went out of business . . .

>>749263
You realize odds are she was using this place as her "secret" base. That's why the lights are still on.

>>749267
nice security system too then. Anyone that walks in sets off the tour.

>>749263

Continue the tour. Maybe we'll exit through the gift shop?

>>749263
well hey now we know where we might get usable spare parts

>>749263
Mercy looks decidedly not psychopathic. If she was made here, that probably means at least one former employee here would know enough about her inner workings to reprogram her into a psychopath… or perhaps how to taint a replacement part that would cause her to go nutso.

Why did this place get shut down, again? And what other robot models did this place design? I'm thinking you ought to take a look at any surviving former employees and make sure you double or triple-check any replacement parts you can find, just to make sure we don't wind up with a Robot Master situation on our hands the second you fix up Megam. I mean, really, would an evil/mad scientist bent on world domination through corruption of friendly everyday robots be a surprise after everything that's happened, recently?

there was some big issue with robots over seas ten years ago, I don't remember the details, A.R.K. systems was going down hill ever since, they finally closed down last year.

a whole bunch, but their main line was the medical robotics series.

Anne: "Hello Saitnen."

Doctor Anne R. Kissed, Current Director of A.R.K systems. with a name like that I have to wonder if her father was even worse than mine.

>>749751
> Anne R. Kissed

Is that even a question?

NO DIPLOMACY
NO TOUR
JUST STAB HER IN THE GUT AND TAKE HER UNCONSCIOUS BODY WITH YOU

Her killer android is still on the loose, you cannot let your guard down! Just take her out while you still can!

>>749751
Explain why you're here. Megam's damaged, Dad's not around for repairs anymore, and you were hunting for parts and/or schematics. ARK is supposed to have stuff relevant to her.

Can she help a neighbor out?

Since she's here we might be able to ask her help with fixing Megam. If we can convince her to do it that will probably have better odds than trying to figure out ARK systems ourselves.

explain how a rouge mercy has been on your case and megam is fucked up.

How about not explaining shit to the scientist who works at the company our father let get shut down who happens to be riding a sciency wheelchair with tread patterns on the wheels in the building down the street from where somebody in a wheeled vehicle small enough to enter our father's lab came in and cut their way out in the process of him being murdered?

>>749826
Tread doesn't match

>>749751
Whatever quibbles you had with her in the past, it's time to set them aside. Stop antagonizing her. You're here because Megam needs parts, and Anne probably wants to know about the rogue Mercy unit.
The Mercy unit was probably sent by Anne in the first place, so don't be surprised if she says as much. However, you need to set aside the murder attempts at the moment because Megam needs help much more than you need to get into a pissing contest with an ineffectual villain.
Besides, she's probably pissed at you because of your father; I see no reason to fight over your mutual agreement that your father was an ass.

Weep openly, you've had a really terrible day

Okay, gotta stay focused on why I'm here, and not get into petty bickering, Anne is the only person I know who could fix a robot.

(I)

Saitnen: "Hey so I have a robot named Megam, she got kinda broke in the arm and face, can you fix her?"

Dr.Kissed: "oh yes, I recall selling your father an Additor-89 several years ago. He had made her a bit of a pet project, he was very interested in fixing her factory flaws and sent me copies of his reports and efforts. Ultimately his efforts proved futile and he eventually lost interest.

Saitnen: "Factory flaws?"

Dr.Kissed: "When Az-tech industries developed the Additor series they designed them as vanity products and typically were made fragile so as to encourage purchasing replacements when they inevitably broke down. I can't imagine the cruelty required to build a being so ill equipped to survive in the world."

I get the distinct impression Anne could imagine a lot more cruelty than that . . .

(II)

Saitnen: "So can you fix her? she's missing an arm and eye."

Dr.Kissed: "Of course I can, however the Additor series are not modular and Az-tech did not create repair kits, thus every new part has be manufactured separately. It can be done, but would be prohibitively expensive 15,000$ would be the best estimate I could give you without seeing the damage for myself.

Saitnen: "Holy hell! I could buy a whole new robot for that price!"

Dr.Kissed: "That's the idea."

Do you even have that much money?

You might be better off digging up your dad's notes. He might at least have figured out how to repair those parts.

>>753138
What about transplanting to a chassis that is designed to be less of a maintenance pain?

>>753138
She is a robot. Just take the brain out and put it in a new body. Way cheaper.

>>753138
It's a scrapped production line, isn't it? Aren't there spare or broken chassis we can harvest parts from instead of manufacturing brand new ones?

That's how you fix old cars, after all. You buy a second parts car to strip for parts, or you get the parts you need cheap from junkyards.

Alternatively, could we jury rig components from other product lines? There's likely compatible tech out there, having everything match perfectly isn't so much an issue.

>15,000$
If all else fails, is there any favor the "good" doctor would be willing to accept in lieu of cash payment? You're neighbors, after all, and you have a history.

Actually, what is your history with her? You didn't exactly say.

>>753142
>>753143
I feel like before we move Megami to a completely different chassis than she's used to, we should at least consult with her. I mean, I kind of get the impression her first reaction is to agree to whatever is asked of her, but major body alteration seem like an informed consent situation.

ask if there are any other chassis in storage. also ask if they have any mercy remote shutdown thing. so we can push a button and turn that crazy one off next time it comes after us.

>>753138
"Ok, putting aside the gross lack of ethics involved in designing disposable sentient beings...

Not even close, I could probably dig up a couple hundred but that's it.
It's possible Dad left me an inheritance but I believe all his money was locked into investments.

Dr.Kissed: "All the production lines around here are scrapped, this is a graveyard for production lines."

Long story short, my dad, Paris's dad and Noah Kissed were all business partners, they had the great idea that their children should all be friends and forced us to spend time together, for the most part it actually worked out.

Me and Paris got along and played all manner of action games, his sister and my brother both seemed to like fashion and poetry a whole lot.

Anne however was a huge nerd who liked boring things like board games and math, combined with the fact that she was allergic to everything, and got exhausted after a walk up stairs ensured that she was the least fun person to be around.
Anne was a chore to be around, She taught me what it meant to really hate someone.

I can take a look around next time I get back to the lab.

Saitnen: "Would it be possible to move her over to a more resilient body? Maybe one that is modular and repairable?"

"That's it?! Any android frame would cost at least two thousand in rare materi- oh wait, that's just a tablet. You're a 8!+(3, you know that?

Fine, I'll consider it. But I want a bodyguard frame; Megam isn't the calculating type and I don't have enough people watching my back to assign squad members to R&D.

Tell you what - if I can kill Miss Mercy, can you set up the data upload to replace her kernel with Megam's? You can take any encrypted files she stole."

>>755704
Wow, you're kind of an ass. "Oh no, she was frail and a bit boring! Noooo!"
C'mon dude.
PLANWAYS, finding a new shell might help. See if there's a scrapyard or some kind of fighting tournament or something, make use of your superpowers for PROFITS.

>I have many to choose from, this 'Gloomba' pattern for example, very affordable at only 600$
Sorry, but even with her terrible sense of self worth, a downground that far would have to hurt.

If I found the parts myself, would you be willing to do the repair work on commission? Alternatively, is there anything you're interest in besides cold hard cash? Maybe you could trade some kind of favor for a favor.

>She taught me what it meant to really hate someone.
Hating someone because you don't share an interest or cause they're physically unable to do things is pretty low, man.

>>755704
think you need to get over that, i mean, yeah i can see how some little kids could grump at someone for not playing with them. but holding on to that for so long is kind of messed up.

Saitnen: "Very funny but I'm not sticking Megam into vacuum body."

Dr.Kissed: "No but I do have this tracking remote."

Saitnen: "I guess that could come in hand-"

Dr.Kissed: "80$"

Give her $160 and sarcastically claim that she's so super intelligent that you become a dum-dum in her presence. Then, forcefully rip her clothes off and steal her panties, claiming that she specifically said that was the deal, and that you're too stupid to remember that was sexual harassment. She'll have to decide between suing a fugitive and preserving her ego.

Obvious question:

If I turn on the tracking device, will she be able to tell? It doesn't help as much if it just lets me track her right into an ambush.

Second obvious question:

Does it work? I don't need to pay for repairs, or calibration, or some super rare battery before I can use it, do I?

>$80
Honestly that's probably a fair price for the hardware before we even consider function. I say you buy it.

>she became bitter and superior deciding she was so much smarter than everyone else and no longer wanted to associate with any of us.
So you were all dicks to each other. Maybe you should all grow up and stop acting like sulky children over it.

yeah, i suppose we can give her a "for what's it's worth, sorry about being a brat when i was a kid"
do NOT expect her to accept it or respond in kind. but just saying it will at least give you some moral high ground to stand on, and with all the weird shit going on around you, you need to take all the moral high ground you can find.

Saitnen: "Fine I'll take it . . . it will work right? you're not gonna charge me extra for batteries or something?"

Dr.Kissed: "I'm impressed you even considered that."

Saitnen: "Impressed enough not to charge me for the batteries?"

Dr.Kissed: "5$"

Saitnen: " . . ."

I pay her via credit, I'll need to make a note to pay that off.

Dr.Kissed: "thank you for your business"

>>757283
I guess I owe her that much.

(I)
Saitnen: "For what it's worth I'm sorry for how I treated you when we were kids."

Dr.Kissed: "It's worth nothing. and as such will not help you buy my services, so you better go find something that will."

Saitnen: "I really am sorry Anne"

Dr.Kissed: "Just get out. and don't come back empty handed."

Well I tried . . .

(II)

I leave A.R.K. Systems and place in the batteries,
Time to see if the remote takes me to the bot I want.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

At least the thing works.

(III)

. . . aaaannd here's the place, kinda a crummy neighborhood but then again I AM looking for a criminal.
The tracker seems to indicate she's in the un-boarded window.

Now to decide how to make my dramatic entrance.

don't be dramatic. have your defenses up but just knock on he door. she hasn't technically done anything wrong yet. and she was already released from prison over what happened before, so according to the cops she's innocent. if she strikes you after you just knock on the door then whatever. but for now pretend it really was a virus that made her crazy. if she actually asks what you want you can apologize for the panty thing and do that whole explaining who your dad is, relations to ark and your desires to not die.

We've officially escalated from panty snatching to body snatching, here.

Suffer minor existential crisis. You want to help Megam, but is it really right to leave the other bot body-less?

Then remember she's kind of a jerk and came after you first.

A fitting den of scum and villany for a criminal.

Try being sneaky and climb up the wall and take a peek through the window before you burst in dramatically, you might catch her red-handed doing some criminal activity.

(I)
that robot technically hasn't done anything illegal (that I know of) since she was released from prison. I should probably hold off on the dramatics and try to just knock on the door like a normal person.

which probably would be more appropriate if I was dressed liked a normal person

(II)
As I get close to the door I can her people talking inside . . . maybe a little sneakiness can't hurt.
she's seems to be having a conversation with her lawyer.

Trill: "And these will even work on humans?"

Czaro: "They will work on en-ee-thing."

Trill: "Perfect. You should really consider working for us on a more permanent basis, I can assure your we would pay very well for someone of your persuasion."

Czaro: "I have a great deal of work to do. Please leave."

Trill: "Fine, fine. but you'll need us again. And our assistance won't come so cheap next time."

Czaro: "I un-dur-stand. Please leave."

Trill: "of course my lady."

(III)
After a moment her lawyer Freddy Trill leaves the apartment.

Shoot the old man in the dick, kick the door closed, then throw a barrage of every crowd-control weapon you have in the direction of the room. I'm sure she noticed you by now, hold NOTHING back!

wait for him to start closing the door, then close it for him and say "hello trill"
if he reaches into a pocket or for his bag then stop him. "the jig is up, i heard it all."

So either he brought something shady, or he brought something completely normal and the dialog you overheard out of context makes it sound shady.

Bursting in and just attacking anyone would only be proving Paris right. You can't afford to be an asshole vigilante, here.

>what do
We're probably better off following Trill to see if we can learn anything from him. We can easily find Czaro again with the tracker.

Don't confront him in the hall, that will just get her attention. She's not deaf.

>Bursting in and just attacking anyone would only be proving Paris right. You can't afford to be an asshole vigilante, here.
I gotta find out more before I make any rash decisions, I have no idea what's in that case so I can't confront Trill on it, not yet at least.
I should tale him and see where he goes, I can always use the tracker to find Czaro again later.

(I)

that's odd, with a fancy suit like that I'd expect him to be heading down town, but instead he's going further into the slums.
Where are you going Trill?

Maybe the docks?
but what would a criminal defense lawyer need to head to the docks for?
(II) after nearly an hour of walking

I was right about the docks, and we're at the edge of town so unless he plans to start swimming Trill's reached his destination, looks like he's headed for that number 13 building.

ether he is doing something illegal or he has a secret orphanage. investigate.

>>769374
Unless you can use one of your stolen powers to listen at a distance, you're going to have to get closer to listen to what goes on inside that warehouse.

>>769374
It's a warehouse. He probably has stuff stored there. Or maybe he has a client who has stuff stored there, and wanted to meet. Since he does house calls, apparently.

You've got the location and if he goes further he might trigger the defense system. Take him down now and interrogate for security codes.

Sneak up, listen in.

(I)
I need to know what's going on here.

(II)
I'm able to sneak up just as their conversations starts.
Trill seems to be meeting with someone I can't get a good view on.

(III)

Trill: "I have returned 'Big Shot', I have the devices"

Big Shot: "Te-te-te-te-te-truly well done, te-te-tso fast, te-tell me of the robot."

Trill: "Czaro won't join us, not yet. I could be more Persuasive if you like."

Big Shot: "Tno need, she'll see the te-te-te-truth of our plight given te-te-time."

Trill: "Of course my lady, what is the next part of the plan"

Big Shot: "Te-te-te-te-te . . . let us ste-te-tart small, perhaps open the mind of a dozen?"

Trill: "I know just the place."

Big Shot: "Oh? Te-te-tell me please?"

Trill: "The nest of the phoenix."

Big Shot: "Perfect-te-te-te!"

Nest of the Phoenix? what could he be talking about?

>>772071
That is some weird cybercult shit if I've ever heard it, but also a job for the proper authorities. Let's go check out the classifieds, this super-armor is probably great for heavy lifting jobs

>>772071
dang, they got two guards. dunno about you but taking two at once is probably still out of our depth. we need hard evidence, if we can get trill arrested it would throw suspicion on all the cases he's worked on, then if mercy does attack us again and we put her away, everyone would be forced to admit she actually is nuts and trill lied about her being better.

(I)
Looks like some seriously illegal stuff is going down here . . .

(II)
. . . which since I'm not police is completely not my problem!

(III)
I need to focus on important stuff! like getting a job.
can't live off the money my dead dad didn't give me forever.
Let's see what the good ol'Bigtown Eye has to say on this.

(IV)
hmmmm looks like I've got four good options today.

construction sounds perfect for a man in a super suit. how many I-beams do you think you could lift?

also, you were keeping an eye on trill because he's in contact with someone that wanted to kill you, specifically you were going to body snatch them for your robot to drive instead. so after you send in a job application go back to her place and see if she still wants to fight you.

>>776696
oh hey, cop job gives me an idea, why not join the FBI or something?
Like we'll have to go through police training anyways, but FBI would let us go straight to fucking with our shitty friend right back.

It IS the regulatory body in charge of keeping cops on the straight and narrow, after all~

Wait actually would that interfere with our date with that one cop?

Dude, at least lock the doors and set the warehouse on fire.

>which since I'm not police is completely not my problem!
Paris would be so proud.

>job
Hey, lab assistant. You have tons of experience with that, being around your dad. Hang around, beat something up when things go wrong.

(I)
Taking a job as a cop would sure show Paris and let my fight crime legally.
it would also let me get to know Emma better-

(II)
Aw crap! my date with Emma, I almost completely forgot!
it's in two hours gotta watch my time carefully.

(III)
I probably have time to do a couple things before I go to the Blazing Bean
but what?

(1)The Docks:this is where I am now, should probably keep this in mind when plotting my route
(2)SoulSworn Labs: Home, maybe I should change into normal clothes? wouldn't want people to pick a fight with me
(3)Blazing Bean: The coffee shop, Emma will meet me there at 5PM, it's 3PM right now.
(4)Kane Kemical plant: it's where I'd be applying for the Lab assistant job.
(5)Construction site: it's where I'd be applying for the construction job.
(6)Bigtown Police Office: Paris will be here, also where I'd apply for the police job.
(7)Big Eye news: it's where I'd be applying for the news paper intern job.
(8)A.R.K. Systems: not keen on going back to visit Anne again.
(9)Appartment building: Czaro is here.
(10)Hospital: I feel fine . . .
(11)Kane Tower: Can't think of any reason I'd want to go here.

first to 9, talk to Czaro. if non-hostile explain you have a robot who's body is damaged and is suffering, leads to an intact or mostly intact body would be good. if she attacks you then beat them up, shut them down, and take them to your house to pick up your robot then take them both to ark so anne can do the brain swap.

if you are just given a lead then head there if you can, if the lead would take too much time then just head home and change, put gear in a suitcase and take it with you.

if you have have time left then head to the police station, you will be in nice clothes so you can apply, and paris will be weirded out by the fact you actually did take the gear off.

then head for date.

Man, with you ditching the superhero gig Emma is gonna be unimpressed. I mean, you weren't doing it to get chicks or underwear, but it was a nice gig when you gave a shit enough to do stuff.

>>776732
I mean, he might be? He told us to cut out the vigilante stuff.
I'd go to our place to change clothes and clean up a bit, then to the police station to apply(maybe chill with Paris if he's not a dick about it? You used to be friends) then the coffee shop.

(I)
There's no real point confronting Czaro right now
if she doesn't fight me it will be a waste of time, if she does, it will just be me taking the law into my own hands.
I won't give Paris more ammo to preach at me with.
actually that gives me an idea . . .

(II)
Since I'm taking off my gear for the date, I might as well take the moment the opportunity to apply for a job at the police office.
Paris want's me to do things legit, fine by me.
this whole superhero thing was my dumb dad's idea anyways.

>Man, with you ditching the superhero gig Emma is gonna be unimpressed.
I didn't do it to impress her or anyone I was just trying to get by.

(III)
I actually can't wait to rub it in Paris' sanctimonious face.
I can take the gear off whenever I want, and I'll prove it to him.

Yeah! Take it all off!

>>779719
... You sure about that? Or maybe it's integrating into your flesh BURN IT OFF

inb4 you actually can't take it off.

if so then try to find a low profile mode that you can hide under a suit.

lol. kk. Let's get dressed.

give her a hair tousle. and maybe plug her in? then get on fancy clothes. keep gear someplace hidden but accessible in case some weirdo appears and tries to kill you. again.

So seriously, is she your dads sexbot?

I don't have any fancy clothes, never liked that sort of stuff.
I grab some clean clothes and put them on, it should be fine.

(II)
>So seriously, is she your dads sexbot?
My father had hundreds of robots anyone might classify as a "sexbot"
most of them he sold, and all of them were experiments of some kind.
he never seemed pleased with any of them.

Saitnen: "Megam can you turn yourself back off?"

Megam: "Off course, that's what Mr.Soulsworn wanted."

Saitnen: "good girl"

Megam: "I'll let him know you stopped by."

(III)

Has she forgotten who I am?
maybe her memory circuits are damaged as well.
once I have a job I'll be able to sort all of this out . . .

. . . I hope.

Saitnen's heroic career over before it's even began?
Will he get a job at the police station and show up his friend Paris?
How will he get the parts to repair Megam?
and Will the date with Emma ever happen?

Find out all this and much, much more in the next exciting issue of Soulsworn!
suggestions not required?

I'm glad all of Saitnen's problems are now solved, probably forever. Is this the power of not walking around dressed like a superhero?!
