Hello!

[It's library robot! He's in his chassis today, seated in front of the video feed, looking about as cheerful as a giant eyeball can look.]

Got a--got a small favor to ask, a, uh, a request, as it were. If anyone is interested in. Fulfilling a request. I've got this chassis, see? Very useful, very--very nice for walking around, doing things that involve hands without having to be a squishy human. Quite enjoy having it, like it even better when it's functional.

[With that, he sets a metal leg on the desk with a resounding thunk. It's intact, but it's an entire leg. The giant eyeball looks slightly less cheerful.]

Had it torn off, you see. Red Coach did it, if anyone--anyone was wondering. D'you hear that, Red Coach? Now everyone knows you trashed the library and tore off my leg and beat me with it, you psychopath. And now I'm getting it fixed, so there.

[Cough.]

Point is, if any of you have some kind of--kind of experience with robotics, you know, fancy fixing a leg, I would. I'd appreciate it. Sort of difficult, hobbling about everywhere. You know--you know how it is.

[Well. This robot's certainly more robotic-looking than the other robots Pyrrhon has interacted with. He's still going to try talking to it like it's NOT the soulless machine it is, though. Seems like a safe bet to avoid making more enemies, and it certainly SOUNDS like it has a lot of emotion in it's voice, so it's probably aware enough to take offense.]

Hey, lucky you! Pyrrhon happens to be very interested in robots, and I'd be happy to take a look at it for you!

[testgasm]

Ah! Great! Do you--do you have a resume I could look at?

[pyroblasters]

You're talking to the one and only God of the Sun, buddy! What would I need a resume for? It's not exactly the kind of job you have to apply for.

[golonghorns]

I got no experience puttin' robots back together.

How long ago'd he do that? I'm assuming you mean Blood Falcon, right?

[testgasm]

Okay, uh. Then. Why are you here? I'm clearly looking for people with experience in robotics, which you clearly don't have.

That's what I said. Red Coach.

[golonghorns]

Because, I'm asking you some questions. That's why.

Red Coach. OK. When you say 'everyone knows you trashed the library and tore off my leg and beat me with it', you mean those things happened on the same day? Kind've a long time to be without your leg.

On seeing this video from this sentient robotic life form (not the first one he's come across at this bizarre academy), a smile swiftly cracks onto his somewhat grizzled face.

Finally, something I can do to help!

"I can do that! I can do that! I'm the new robotics teacher at Smash Academy!"

[testgasm]

Wheatley looks just the slightest bit surprised, perhaps even taken aback by the enthusiasm. He isn't quite used to people jumping at the chance to assist him.

"Oh, uh..okay. Do you have a resume? Maybe some references I could speak to?"

Re: [video]

[metalgearwrecks]

"Em, sure. "

With a distinct air of confusion, Hal pulls up his resume, making sure that he attaches as many images of the 'good' automatons that he has had a hand in creating.

"Here you go. I hope this helps you see that robotics is my passion, my life's work!."

[tempus_fixit]

Whoa, that musta been awful! I can help fix it, if you want. I happen to know a thing or two about robots.

[testgasm]

Are you--are you Lucca? Voile recommended you, when we spoke.

[tempus_fixit]

She's a friend of mine, yeah! Has been for a long time. Can you make it to the machine shop? It'd be easier with all the tools available.

[bloodvile]

[Anytime Red Coach manages to computer it's usually a happy accident. There will be no text from this guy any time soon.]

That's old news asshole, but I'd be glad to rectify that. Who needs your stupid legs or library anyway?

[testgasm]

Uh. Me. I need both of those things, and you're completely mental.

[bloodvile]

No you don't! If you can live on without a face you sure as hell don't need legs.

[iamtheeggman]

It SERVES YOU RIGHT, you idiotic donut hole!

[testgasm]

No one asked for your opinion!

[iamtheeggman]

You DID ask for anyone with experience with robotics for help. I have that. And in my professional opinion, IT SERVES YOU RIGHT!

[megabuster]

What happened? Why did... Red Coach... rip your leg off?

Are you okay?

[testgasm]

Uh, because he's a maniac.

I'm fine. It's been off for a while, I'd just--I'd like to get it fixed. Obviously.

[megabuster]

[Wheatley may have been a jerk, but even he didn't deserve something like that.]

I wish you'd said something sooner... Someone should do something about him!

I may not be a great inventor, but I've got SOME experience helping my creator work on robot repairs... If there's anything I can do, just ask.

[awakeningwill]

I would've offered earlier if I could. My expertise ends at handling my own tune ups and minor field repair.

Have you found anyone yet?

[testgasm]

Got a few people interested, yeah. Currently asking for resumes and references, you know. That sort of thing.

[vianca]

[Eventually the robot got company as the tiny pink girl took a seat next to him with a book.]

... How did it go?

[testgasm]

Oh! Very well, I think. Got a few--got a few candidates. There's, ah. There's potential, there.
