AREA: DORM TD-19

[awakeningwill]

[The video feed turns on. A somewhat familiar face came onscreen, though most would only recognize him as 'that broken robot that Knuckles was keeping on his couch.' Looks like he's fully functional again, and possessing the same emotive range as he did while offline.]

I'm Zero. Starting now, I'll be on security detail.

[There was a pause. It seemed like he was more or less finished with introductions, but there was something else on his mind kept him from turning off the camera. After a beat, he continued.]

The database tells me that Knuckles is no longer here.

...

There's someone else... There was a blue reploid that called himself X. I need to know what happened to him.

...Thanks.

[End transmission.]

[Whoa a cool red guy who looks like he might be a robot.]

It's nice to meet you, Zero! If you don't mind me asking, what's a Reploid?

[bunnyfears]

I don't know what a reploid is, but if you're here to protect me, then that makes you one of my new best friends! This place has been getting kind of crazy lately after all, so it's great that someone's going to be doing something about it!

[pyroblasters]

Security, eh? You sure a girly-looking guy like you can handle it?

Well, if you can't, feel free to hit up Pyrrhon! I'm always willing to dish out a little godly wrath in the name of JUSTICE!

[jonny_talbain]

It will be nice to have more dedicated security staff. We had quite a situation the other day.

[He nods, his desk a nest of half-graded exam papers.]

Glad to see you here. I admit, I'm not proud about what happened at Prom... the fact that we didn't see it coming, I mean.

[And also the fact that he wound up tying up the giant robot in satin banners and floral prom garlands to immobilize it. He's not really proud of that either. However, that's besides the point.]

My point is, I'm glad to see a dedicated security officer that isn't pulling double-duty as a member of faculty.

Yes, Knuckles had recently left after his wedding with another student, Goombella. As for X... I'm not quite sure myself to where he had left.

Welcome back to the academy Zero, I'm sorry that's the best I know of.

[iamtheeggman]

Well well, look who came back.

[forgetbeam]

Are you the only security that was hired? The recent problems have been more than any one person can handle!

[Although really he's impressed that anyone at all was hired...]

[bloodycrow]

[...Wasn't this guy here before...?]

Impeccable. A member of security who may actually perform the task appropriately.

[It might sound sarcastic, but Caim's being completely serious.]
