Warning

SRK seemed to be an odd fellow as specific rules determined her warnings but she didn't seem to hate the headpats anyhow, regardless of what she warned against. Florence looked at her, pondering. Perhaps that would be a way to get her used to it or ARA could help with her. And then there was the whole thing about keeping sensitive data hidden. What did SRK hide? Or what did ARA have in store? For now, the worries of Florence were elsewhere and SRK didn't make it too easy with her going along with Archer's goofing. At the same time, the softness of SRK was not really arguable. Her creator or even ARA's did not shy on make thing nice to hold onto or touch. And this was a thought she didn't want to get again. Was SRK's body really fully designed? Or ARA's. Blushing a bit, she shook her head to shake the naughty thoughts away. A part of her was sure that they were and she did not really think about checking. That would have to wait. Florence smiled to Archer for now. "I am pretty hungry so I would not mind a snack. Also no need for master of cuisine. Something edible is fine. But sure, let's pick a little something to eat before the big meal later.", she said with a smile, looking forward to eat. SRK seemed neutral about it, probably because she was not going to eat for the pleasure of eating but rather for energy collection. At least she did not look unhappy about it but she clearly was outside her usual element. It must have been nothing but the fact she woke up after so long, if the time gap even affected her. As the shortie was asked about her past, she actually looked like she was thinking about it, thankfully without screaming warning this time. "It is difficult for this unit to tell. ARA and I were two units aboard the K-ship and we were busy a lot. ARA... likes to take showers.", she said with a pause and wondered if they followed so far but soon continued. "She showed me how to take baths." Florence blinked, having more questions again. But at the same time, it also meant that these anthroids were not affected by water. A bath or a shower did sound nice, though. She did not get one yet that day. Too much work and the anthroids were required to be worked on again. A mistake she would correct later to make sure she doesn't gain unwanted scents. "So... Do you enjoy these showers or baths...?", she asked cautiously. SRK looked at them then seemed to think of her answer again as her eyes wandered before she nodded. "I think they are not bad. This fur must be kept clean and ARA had the best idea. This unit once ate soap however and I do not suggest for humans to do the same. The effect this avatar was not dramatic but it left me in a strange state for days.", she said, fully seriously but also looked annoyed by the memory. Florence could understand why she would try it, considering SRK's nature but she was right. Soap was toxic to them.

As soon as she was freed, SRK seemed to calm herself. Closing her eyes for a bit to regain composure, she was going to move on her own but felt the headpat which triggered a sort of alarm in her head as she turned to Archer. "WARNING! Refrain from headpatting this expensive avatar!". Florence just watched them, almost sighing by the interactions but said nothing about it this time. "Mr. Reed, we might not be too advanced but I think we're on a good step by having her awake. It does not mean that she will not remember much. Perhaps she is even restricted from telling her too much. At least this is how I think that it works." Florence then looked at the both of them, as he tried to explain his point on goofing. "I... don't think we should tell her that... Besides...", she started. SRK seemed to look at the both of them then at Archer. "Hard asses are not good. Thankfully, this is not a problem with our avatar. Both ARA and this unit have been made with softness in their design.". Florence just stayed there, staring in shock at what SRK could be implying with this. "W-what? You're not saying... I mean... N-nevermind. We have to eat already...", she blushed, wondering about things that she should not. Whether she liked to admit it or not, SRK and even ARA were at least designed with female proportions in mind and she was also sure that there was more to them than she was willing to think. Could they both have been created like this as well? A part of her mind screamed for answers but she couldn't let it get the best of her, heading away. SRK simply followed, not going back on that topic unless specifically asked about it. As she was asked what to eat, she seemed to give it some thoughts. "Anything that you humans consume will be acceptable. I need a lot of energy before I can properly recharge myself, however.", she said. Florence who finally could think straight looked at SRK then Archer. "Uhh... Anything, I don't mind... As long as it's edible. Are you one who can cook, Mr Reed?", the wolf girl asked curiously, not usually being the kind to pay attention to cuisine. She did not mind a fine meal if he could prepare one however. "Please do your best, I will be eating what you will be making. I would not mind having some time for a break.", Florence finally said, sitting somewhere while observing SRK who waited.

[Characters are being transferred to the kitchen area: https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/5871-13-the-kitchen/?do=findComment&comment=133416]

[New reply following this post: https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/5874-16-the-medical-bay/?do=findComment&comment=133415] Florence frowned as her attempts didn't bring fruits. He was right, though. There was something interesting about SRK being the little warning fluffball even if her intents and purposes were for now unknown. At the very least, she didn't try anything weird or even to escape. She was just there for the ride, trusting them or not. Probably for the sake of ARA as well, who the wolf girl promised herself to wake up as soon as possible. But oh well... For now, she had to keep this one alive for longer to succeed to wake the other one as well. And so when suggested, Florence headed to the kitchen area with them, the little black one seemed to follow. At least for the time being. That... didn't take very long to change and while Florence didn't notice at first, SRK made it easy to tell. Upon being picked up, the little frame did well to panic or at least show disapproval. "WARNING! Put this unit down this instant. None of my functions involve being picked up and hugged. Besides, you are not permitted to do so. This unit is more than capable of walking on her own!". Florence turned around only to see this happening and she could hardly hold her laugh. Seeing Archer struggling to keep hold of this little anthroid was one sight to see. "Please calm down, we're about to have some food when we get to the kitchen and I think all of us need it. But yes, Mr. Reed. I believe it would be better to have her walk on her own. She might have been asleep for a while.", she assumed, wondering. SRK did well to answer. "This avatar has been offline for... 2623 days or so." Florence almost choked as she heard the numbers. "So you've been lost and unconscious for years... Do you remember the circumstances of your shutdown?", she had to ask. If they had means to recharge power then surely there had to be a reason but anything could have happened in space. "Negative. No memory found of the days of shutdown. Access to database unavailable. Access to Nebula unavailable.", SRK simply answered and this did not mean too good for them. They may have been lost for a long time. Their communication were completely unavailable as well. "Well... This is unfortunate but it's good that we found you. We will see if ARA can help us with these issues later... For now, both of you stop goofing and let's go eat, already.", she told them.

Florence smiled to the fact but looked at him. "You know, synthetic or not, they don't look all that different. At least they should not produce waste if they transform all they eat into energy. Besides, she is cute enough that I could hug her.", she said aloud, kinda wishing to also do it but SRK put a hand in front of her as defense. "WARNING! This unit shall not be hugged in any sort of way. Besides, I do not agree that I am cute, despite that my appearance may or not cause attraction." Florence blinked but shook her head. "Don't speak nonsense, you're very cute. Just a little hug?", she asked but SRK kept her stance. "WARNING, you will not attempt any sort of hug on this unit.". The wolf girl finally gave up, being a little disappointed by being denied a hug. Looking at Archer instead, she pondered. "I am not sure how her enegine works but I presume that an AI must uses lot of energy. They may have found a way, especially since they have more than one." Florence came to think about something else. "Well, she also repeats warning quite often for an AI this advanced. I wonder if she was made for alerts. Though the only alerts she gives is about her own being so far. I wonder if she would keep repeating it more if I actually tried to get her.", the wolf girl said in references to hugs. SRK seemed worried about what she tried to imply. "W-warning! Absolutely do not attempt to hug this unit...". Florence looked surprised at first. "Did she... stutter? You're adorable! Ahem, I am sorry. Perhaps I should not delay us further...". SRK meanwhile was not sure how to react to the compliments, a blue-ish taint seemed to color her face even, which Florence unbelievably recognized as blushing, even though she seemed to deny it quietly. Looking at Archer, Florence smiled. "It seems there is a lot that we don't know about them. I mean, a lot more than I thought. We will have to get back to it later... And wake up this ARA...!" At the end, after the explanations given, there was only one thing to do then. "Right, let's go get some nutrition. The last thing that I would want is that she shut down on us and we really lose her before we even wake ARA up. Or before we know more.", Florence said and left, inviting SRK to join. The next step to all this was to get food and get a break.

SRK frowned when she was addressed by a few different terms but she remained quiet. At least she was free now even if she had no means to find where she was. Florence just seemed to observe as well, wondering how ARA would be like but she doubted that she would be the kind that SRK was. It was mostly just a feeling but as the question of power was raised, SRK expressed herself with an expression of pride. "CORRECT. This unit can consume what you alive beings consider being food. This nutrition is used to procure energy to the core.", she explained, feeling like a little genius. "We eat anything that you can eat, as long as it contains enough energy for us to function. We do not exactly taste things the same way however.". Florence was amazed but it was best to not ask. Still, the wolf girl thought a bit. "Well, you will both still need to recharge but until I find how, getting some energy for you and her would not be so bad to begin with.". Looking at Archer to process with that information, she had a theory. "I do not think their bodies process food or... whatever they eat the same way we do. She spoke of a core so it probably disintegrates everything into fuel.". Or at least it was what made more sense to Florence. "We should bring this one to where she can ingest something and I could use the break as well. A meal would be rather nice. Perhaps we can ask more out of her too when we're set with something in our stomach.", she said but then paused. "Wait... Why did you yourself come to medbay already? Did you not have business to do here?" She asked. In the end, SRK looked at Archer with some kind of confusion at first but nodded and went along with it. Seeing his hand and finally knowing his intentions, she carefully took his hand and shook it the way a human would do it, having learned that behavior at the very least. If they left, ARA would at the very least stay safe there. Waking her up could be done later, whenever they'd be back.

Unfortunately, I can't really play along that idea for their story but yeah, there's so much to discover about. XD Still interesting to see how he reacts to the whole situation, though. Hopefully my post is good enough. And sadly, I have to go rest for... hospital day sake and all that.

Florence blinked a bit, as she didn't even have the time to begin on the tall girl. "She woke up, just like that...? I see...", she said, lost in her thoughts. She should be excited though, it was a good news. Removing the wires from the anthroid's tail, she thought it would be better to let the small one find a more peaceful way, finally. As long as she was peaceful. "Alright... I'm going back. Time to meet with her.", she finally decided. Starting to head back, she looked at Archer who took the red cat into his grasp. "Very well. You handle her carefully. We're close to see this one wake up if the other one is ready." Florence then went back to the medbay while looking back to him. "I would not worry too much. For now, we have to find who they are and what they are meant to be or do..." The black one looked at them come back but showed no signs of knowing Florence but her eyes seemed to brighten up at the sight or the red cat. "So you have found her as well!", she said, speaking of the other anthroid. Florence seemed surprise to hear what seemed to be a rather soft yet not completely biologic voice. It definitely was synthetic but still sounding good. As Archer introduced her as the sleeping beauty, the black one frowned angrily. "RELUCTANCE. This unit will not be named as such lowly name. You shall name it SRK!", she said but Florence picked up quickly before Archer could respond. "SRK? So that is your name? And her, who is she...?", she asked, needing to know more as soon as possible. The little anthroid looked at the both of them for a bit. "She's ARA." The wolf girl was quite impressed but soon realized one other important detail. The cat was speaking their language. Looking at Archer a little, she looked back to the small one and started deactivating the pod, which did a loud noise before the water started draining. "WARNING. This machine is doing something!", the voice making Florence smile as she replied. "Yes, I'm getting you out of there and in exchange, you have to wake her up. We have to know who you both are. I am the one who was charged of taking care of you. My name is Florence.". The SRK watched as the water almost drained completely and looked at ARA then at the two others. "ARA's power is empty. She requires recharging, which she would be able to do manually but her power status is critical.", she said. Florence nodded a bit but she had other questions while the pod finally opened up once empty. She carefully removed the mask off the girl who jumped off then looked at them. "How did you wake up, by the way? Or is it too strange to ask? Were you asleep?", she asked quite many questions but the SRK seemed unfazed. "This unit has managed to find some power with your machine but I am critically low as well. I require nutrition!", she stated, to which Florence looked at Archer. Could it be...? SRK continued. "ARA is capable of waiting but when she is awake, she will require nutrition as well. This is how our frames maintain our power level when we do not recharge ourselves." Florence had so many questions with how this unit expressed herself. Her AI seemed quite advanced.

The little one seemed as surprised by his reaction as Archer was to her but her eyes followed his movement flawlessly. Her voice was rather soft for a machine, whatever device created voice for her. She took a moment while he was busy recovering to look at her surrounding. She was inside a tube but her movement were altered. A liquid??? So it seemed to be but a mask in her face stopped the liquid from infiltrating where it should not be. The air itself was useless to her but at least she was safe from the liquid. Looking more carefully at the room, she saw some device and beds. It was easy to guess where she was. But why was she there? That was not a ship that she knew, that was for sure. Closing her eyes for a bit, she tried something but there was no available data. Soon enough, Archer told her that he could not let her one but he knew someone who could. Was it someone she knew? But at least he was telling her that she could get out soon. Nothing of him seemed to say that he was lying. She proceeded to gain a more neutral expression soon enough when told to stay calm. "Very well... I will be waiting. This room is not pleasant to be inside, though.", she told him, wondering if she was the only one present. Before she could say anything however, Archer was already gone. The way the doors opened, it seemed to be another ship. If she was a captive or transferred elsewhere, she sure was not updated on that information. Her data was either missing or corrupted but her head seemed fine otherwise. For now, she would wait. Inside the engineering, the red one was sitting somewhere while Florence was readying some means to jolt the anthroid. Clearly, she had not begun yet while the little one was awake. Putting some safety goggles. she had connected some wires to the tip of her tail. If her calculations were right, throwing on the power would send power inside her tail that would resist the shock but charge her some. As she was getting ready to do so, she saw movement coming toward her that stopped her from going further with it. Surprisingly, it was Archer who had made his way inside where she was and this alone made her blink a bit, especially since she had asked him to watch over the little one. "Mr. Reid? I thought you were watching over her while I try to wake this one up.", she asked, confused. "Is there anything the matter...?", she asked curiously, assuming that there was a good reason he had to come where she was. The tall one would have to wait for now, it appeared.

The black little thing in the pod looked almost or perfect still. Her body seemed to move but that was mostly due to the water allowing her to float around very slightly. Her eyes were closed and she looked asleep. With Florence gone and doing whatever she had to do with what the engineering tools and device, the medbay was a little quiet. Florence knew that she had to be perfect with what she was doing and thankfully, she was smart enough to know the scientific possibilities of doing engineer stuff to the tall one. Still, that didn't protect her from mistakes yet there was only one way to go in her mind. She risked getting herself electrocuted but it was not something she was not used to. She was a good engineer, of course. But experimental stuff could go south easily. Meanwhile, the little one didn't seem to react too much to being talked to. Did she even listen? Her ears didn't move nor twitch but that didn't mean she was not hearing unless she was unconscious enough to pass as an empty shell. What did she even feel like being submerged in this liquid which was not completely water. The pod was usually used for saving someone hurt or close to die and hopefully restore them so death didn't occur. There was other scientific purposes to it but what did it do to an anthroid was unknown. Right now, she looked fine. Almost like she enjoyed it but that was hard to say as even her face didn't show any expression. The water she floated in was pretty clear at least, if not of the bubbles that floated around but those did not come from her, at least... Not that she would even breathe... Anthroids didn't exactly have means to breathe. Could she drown? Or would she just find herself in water? Well, this water was not supposed to damage anything. The pod was specifically made to keep one alive inside, normally with breathing means. For the sake of appropriateness, Florence seemed to have added the breathing things to her but it only gave a minimum amount of oxygen, for the sake of air transfer. The fact could do something to her or not. But otherwise, even as Archer talked to her, she was almost perfectly still. Her body actually looked like it was impermeable. Not made for water but sharing the characteristics of a real anthro and not letting water in. Not even her ears anyway shared a sign of life. Not a light or anything. At the end, when he kissed the pod but left to find a mean to clean his mess, was when some kind of beep finally happened. The pod itself emitted a sound. A sound that normally would only be emitted if a pulse or at least a live movement would be detected. It was a good thing. in general, because it signaled that the person inside was, well, alive. If Archer looked then, he would see a blueish color at her ears but more apparent even would be golden eyes seeming to look around before they stared at the man from inside the pod. And then a voice befitting her size could be heard, thankfully because of the mask stuck to her face that was connected to a mic. "WARNING! This unit is locked inside an unknown compartment!", she seemed to speak loud, moving slightly in panic or so. Putting her small hands against the glass, Archer could see the gold design of her pawed hands and fingers but her golden eyes was staring straight at him, looking unhappy about her status. "Let this unit out this instant!", she ordered but cutely, not really looking threatening where she was. If Florence was correct, she had no weapons of any sorts anyway and definitely not the strength to break through either. She could just be there, connected to the mask and floating. But alive... Which could be sort of creepy considering that he was alone with her and her intentions with him were unknown if she managed to leave that pod that kept one safe from the other, whoever was more dangerous. Still, all she could seem to do was frown. At least she didn't try to rip the mask away.

Florence gave it a moment to think but nodded. "Right. They certainly are not combat unit and it's not possible to know their functioning until we put them up.", she said before going back in silence for a bit. It's true that they had time. And Archer was right. She already did a lot but otherwise, she was alright. Thankfully the red one was not so heavy, at least for someone like her and the little one was even lighter. "I should be alright... But I think I may have to bring her back to the engineering labs to test my theory. I am not sure how the small one works yet but this one may know. I just need one up to help the other one.". If she was right, everything was going to be smooth. All she needed was a single chance to activate the tall one and everything was going to be fine. Trying to ignore her own near attempt to kiss the anthroid awake, the wolf engineer looked at Archer. "Creative it will be. I think that if I am right, I would simply need to send a good jolt through her tail. I don't actually suggest on a real live body like mine.", she said with a slight shiver. "Her tail is tough and I believe it might conduct power, though. If I succeed to make her absorb enough power to get her awake, I may be able to get her to tell me how to recharge her as well.", she explained but paused to look around as well. "The medbay will not have what I need. I need a good spark. I will bring her back with me and try this idea. Oh and no worry, as long as I do it at the tip of her tail, I should not fry anything. If that doesn't work... I don't know, perhaps something else." With this in mind, she gently grabbed the anthroid in her grasp and turned around the room to head to the south door though she stopped before and looked back at Archer then at the little anthroid and back to Archer again. "Say... Would you mind taking a look at this one while I do this? I do not want to leave her alone in case someone comes up. She is not exactly supposed to be here. Since she was small, I thought putting her in there for temporary check up would do well. As far as it is, I think she will just be floating in there for as long as this one is unconscious. But still...". She looked to be in thought for a moment but then just went through the doors leading to the engines with the other anthroid. The small back one indeed seemed to just be floating there. For now.

Really? o.o I mostly remained quiet on this thread because I did not know what to say and I was ready to follow whenever. Or at least I think so. I've read the other posts but I am still not sure about what the story itself will entail and if the character I chose will be the perfect one for it. (It also been a while now so pardon the slowness of my thoughts.). I know I saw things about multiple possibilities including futa in there. It could be good that I revise what character I will be using (to make sure). This is why I would ask what exactly would we need for this story?

What I wonder is, is this idea still active, though? Still excited to the idea of possibly doing something like this. I thought I'd bump this up to ask, anyway.

I would have participated but let's just say that I have some troubles right now. A christmas event sounds nice but again, I'd need to be in the right mental space to write something and this part is not easy. BUT positively speaking, you all should still do it. Just for fun. Regardless.

Florence blushed slightly, looking at the Anthroid more closely. At least in her tastes, it was true that she and the other one were kinda cute. She soon shook her head to focus back on what her task was. Even if the red one was especially attracting in a way, there was work to do to actually get her up and walking. Even getting her to react or open her eyes would be an awesome start. "Do you think that they even know humans?", she asked, wondering if perhaps whoever created them were only anthros and that humans perhaps were an unknown thing to them. "But yes, you're right... And this is why I must get them to wake up. We have to find out more details about them. I will do my best to make it happen.", she said, feeling determined to make it work. She had to. Still, she wondered about that more. Perhaps they knew more about them or perhaps they didn't. At any rates, there was a big chance that it would be interesting to hear it from them and learn from them, while at the same time, they could learn from her and the BlackStar. "Still... They have quite an interesting design. A small one in black and gray lined with gold and a tall one in red and black. Nothing of this is natural, even for a machine.", speaking her thought, looking down at the anthroid. "But... I guess you're right again. I will take care of them. My job as an engineer should not disturb that and I do not think that they will wake up while I am gone.". Florence felt that these anthroids would probably need something manual to wake them up or at least one of them. With what Archer was telling her, the wolf girl couldn't stop but blush again. "Alright but if she doesn't wake up from it, all of this will be for naught. That you behave or not, it could be done for science... You think an anthroid will mind?", she asked, looked at the red one. Was she really going to try it, though? Moving closer, she looked at her and her face carefully but shaking her head, she pulled away. "I-It's probably not a good idea. She might as well be considered dead in her state... It would not be right. Even if she is not really alive.", she concluded, feeling a little disappointed by the fact but this could change if at least one of them opened their eyes. "Oh... I did not find any names on them. At least not any readable names. It must be inside their memory...", she figured. For now, Florence had to find a way to wake them up and waiting was not going to do it. Not if they were asleep for a long time anyway. Something a little more manual and forced would have to do instead. She went back to think about the mean to recharge them if their power source would deplete. There HAD to be a way or it would be a terrible design otherwise. Unfortunately, there was no port for a plug or anything. Or at least not a visible one at first sight. Except for... A detail that she had noticed about her tail on the scans. The segmented part was not exactly the issue but the tip was oddly designed. On the surface, it was a fluffy black tip of a tail but on scan, there was a large end looking like a port of some sort. "Do we have a way to give her a shock?", she asked.

Florence was in deep thoughts as he talked but the thing about her the red one's weight made her look at Archer. "She is lighter than what we'd think a robot weight. I can't be that strong.", she remarked. She was strong as a wolf but a real mechanical robot would still normally weight a ton and yet, testing to be sure that she was not insane, she was able to lift the anthroid just fine in the grasp, to show archer. And despite the movement, she didn't move herself, perfectly asleep. Florence soon put her down again, perfectly laid down to not disturb the analysis. The second thing that made her curious was a guess that she could be the other one's sister. "That... is not too crazy. She does not have such a mark on herself like the other one does but I think they may have been made by the same person or corporation." With everything, her tail was indeed wagging slowly but she didn't really notice or perhaps she refused to acknowledge for now it as she was supposed to be a professional. The thought about them having sentience made a lot of sense. "Right.", she replied. "I doubt that they would be designed like this to be simple robots to serve humans. This one alone has many components that I do not understand.", she explained while looking back to the anthroid. "I do not know why they were made but I think we will know when they wake up. I could not get a look at anything in their head and the scans do not show much. Their brains have to be some advanced memory technology but only heavens know what is inside.", she said, referring to if they would be friendly or not. Their code, whatever was programmed into them, would be what decides if they would be friendly or if they existed for extermination but the latter would be pretty odd considering their design and their choice of gadgets. A weaponless weapon was either ingerous or outright scary to imagine. No... There was no way that she was a kind of fluffy terminator. The little one even less so. Florence blinked a moment later as the topic of teaching them came up. "To be fair, I do not know what we're dealing with and I feel like they may have more to teach us than us to teach them. Although... Them and us live in different kinds of worlds. Our biobots are nothing like them. I would say that we should wait before we make educative plans about them.", she remarked, not without an amused smile. As the topic drifted back to symbols, the wolf girl looked toward the black little one again then to Archer. "No can do. The both of them could come from anywhere in the universe. We would have to check that database soon but I will need permission to do so but I don't think that it matters right now. It would not tell us how to wake them.", she told him, growing more and more curious about them. With the idea to plug them, she wondered what was even powering them. An inner battery perhaps. "Perhaps there is a way to recharge them. And no, I will not give her a kiss..."

Don't I do the same, though? I mean, we're all writing so much. I just need to try and keep up with it as much as possible.

Florence blinked as she looked at Archer then looked down at the anthroid again. "They made them a replica of our kind...", she remarked, pointing at the details of the body and fur, similar to her own. And yet, some details were still noticeably different from the exterior. The glowy details of the ears or the paw pads being slightly luminescent, imitating an animal pad with a gelatinous like material. "I believe she is stronger than I am, thanks to her design. These paws would easily support her weight without damage. In fact, she is not that heavy for what she is...", Florence let her thoughts flow, wondering what was the process or the reason behind her creation. Her not being a doctor but an engineer made some questions easy but some other ones less simple for her. Her thoughts were interrupted as Archer asked about the little black one as well. "Ah yes, they both seem to have been together but left without power... I was not sure either but she had the same details as this one yet smaller. A very strange mark on her hip is what lead it to me along with this one. The blue one... It does not look like a tribal sign but something else.", she said in thoughts again, at least taking a moment to discuss something she seemed rather passionate about over working her brain trying to figure the one anthroid out. Looking at the leg of the red cat then back to Archer, Florence nodded. "Loose yes, but it's difficult to say if she has been using it. When they were found, they were both unconscious... I mean, out of power.", she tried to explain. Florence seemed to be lost but if anyone would be able to understand something, it was probably her, thanks to her remarkable intellect as an engineer. Despite the fact that these may have been a little more advanced than her knowledge, it made the wolf girl excited to learn more about what she didn't know. The mention of fluffy terminator almost made her stare at the cat then at Archer for a moment then her eyes got suddenly brighter. "It is funny that you mention it but neither of them had weapons. Their analysis do not seem to show any concealed weaponry either. They only have their claws but they do not look like they were used for combat. I think they both had a different purpose. This one has symbols on her clothes but I cannot figure what they mean..." The wolf girl looked disappointed by the fact. Among the two, only the bigger red one had lettering of some sort on her clothes but no one capable of reading them. Still, the last question struck Florence, making her quiet for a moment. "I was not the one who found them. They were brought to me. I think they figured that I would be the best at finding who or what they are and if they can be used. They are too valuable to throw them away. My job remains to take care of the ship first so I have to return to my duties as soon as I must. Perhaps if I found a way to power them up...", she thought loudly, wondering if a jolt of electricity would reboot them or fry them and the thought that the latter could happen would be terrible and probably get her in troubles.

The wolf girl was a little too busy to hear Archer while he was speaking around the small catgirl and she was not even noticing him wandering about either. The catgirl herself was completely still and without a single sign of movement or reaction to his words. Her eyes were closed but the odd pattern on what was not covered on her body was still observable, showing a blue symbol on her hip and a gold lining that separated her main colors on her body. Meanwhile, Florence's eyes were focused to look at some monitoring systems while she took notes of what she was dealing with. A box of tools was left nearby as she had figured that she could need them at any times but even as an engineer, she looked puzzled about what kind of work she needed to do. Her thoughts were interrupted by someone mentioning her name from behind her, making Florence turn around to see who was talking to her. "Oh? Mr. Reid... You're right, this is not where I'm usually found but I have extra work, now.", she said, referring to the anthro or what looked like an anthro that she was working on. Despite what it looked like, the pieces of that red cat-like being looked pretty advanced yet semi realistic with fur details and everything. The inside of the removed part of her leg however, looked mechanical unlike usually known mechanisms. It even included fiber of some sort. As Archer commented on her, Florence eyed the anthroid and sighed. "She is incredibly advanced. I have yet to understand everything about her, yet.", she replied. Moving closer to the other side of where Archer was, the wolf girl took a good look at the sleeping catgirl. "I would hope to wake her up soon. She may be able to tell me more about herself. Or about the other one in the tube..." Florence grabbed the detached leg piece and connected it back to where it belonged, which did well to make it look like it never was disconnected to begin with. "That leg was loose at first and yet, here it is looking like nothing was wrong with it. She must have been expensive to create... She is completely synthetic.", she explained, pointing at one of the screens where not a single bone structure was shown. Rather, they could see what looked like a complicated set of synthetic materials and even armor plates. The tail was segmented.

The med bay would be a medium sized place or so, just good enough for about 3 or 4 patients at most. Not that lot of sick or wounded really was expected. Everyone was trained more or less in the hope to avoid risks as much as possible. Thankfully for now, no healthcare really was required by anyone so the work and activity was pretty lax right now. Except for a few strange things present in the room and adjacent areas. For one, a small creature resembling a white haired black cat(?) was floating into a medical pod in front of him or so, from the entrance. A system nearby seemed to keep a constant update of its status but otherwise, there was no sound nor movement coming from it or the pod. It was not left without complete surveillance either. To his left, toward where the resting and surgery area would be, some movement and sounds could easily be detectable by a lifeform similar to the cat in the pod. A taller, adult sized, anthro of wolf nature in yellow suit would be there seeming to be working on something. On the medical bed there inside would be another anthro of some sort, one colored in red and black, unconscious or dead? At the very least, the panels gave no real signs of life. Some pieces of her were also removed but the parts were not gory or anything nasty. These parts in questions looked removable and the wolf girl seemed to work on a way to fix or restore her. From her outfit, she definitely was an engineer and not a nurse so the one she worked on couldn't be a patient.

No worries. It was just me trying to be clear. But yes, that could be fun. Whatever you like. I just want my character to be somewhere and have some kind of entertainment with someone. No rush necessary however but letting know that I am open to it at any times. We've been preparing this for a while so I do hope that we will manage to get some little thing going for fun. But yep, ready whenever (well, I mean in the soon future). I'll keep checking around and if I see a post of some sort, I'll happily reply as soon as possible.

Well for the record, Florence is an engineer, not a nurse. Which is why she takes care of anthroids. (Just to be clear). But yes, when and if she does not work on anthroids, she is the one basically busy with making sure the ship's machinery works as intended. In the same spirit, she "could" also be taking care of other droids if any exists. To her, it would be the same with crafty works of changing parts and etc. IF I include Ara right away or at the very least her body, she would be on the techbed on the right. IF warning is around, I'll probably leave her in the healing pod on the left (Maybe as a way to keep a check on her status. She might also be damaged and needed it.) I'm not sure where else she'd be. But yes. If she is toying with ARA, she would be out of the engine rooms which would at least remove the limitation on if a characters (except her) can't go there. Pretty sure there would be nothing too bad about your character visiting the medbay. So that'd be one idea.

From what I saw, the first and only post happens in the Main Bay. I would hope to see more happening with this story. I don't know if I will do anything with my bots yet but Florence would be a good start at the very least. (As I am slowly getting back to catch up on roleplays). I had to check the ship plans from close up to determine things (The ship is named the Mourning Wolf originally btw) and Florence would likely be in lower engineering due to medical bay being close, a thing she might use if she takes care of like ARA. (Medical bed with techs) The issue is where and how to exactly begin and it would be fun that we manage to actually start something with this. Also, I have the map for the ship (but without the words) if someone wants to see a close-up version of what the ship is like. I will post it below:
