Soooo... how many robots, roboticists, and people with mechanical knowledge are there at this school, anyway? Pyrrhon's been wondering for a while now. I definitely know I've ran into quite a few of them, but Pyrrhon's curious if he's missed any!

[All the earthquakes and rising water and general unease going on, and clearly Pyrrhon is focusing on the important things here.]

...That's really your most pressing concern right now?

[pyroblasters]

Yep! It's been bugging Pyrrhon for a while now, and Pyrrhon wants some answers!

[babylonmechanic]

Why you want to know?

[pyroblasters]

Because Pyrrhon likes robots! I think they're fascinating little things.

[babylonmechanic]

Is that the ONLY reason you want to know, hm? Seems like a weird time to be thinking about robots with everything going on.

[pyroblasters]

Pyrrhon's not going to put his personal interests aside over a couple minor tremors and rising water! That'd just be silly.

[babylonmechanic]

Riiiight.

So tell me, you're asking an obviously leading question, so you clearly want something. What do you want built for you?

[pyroblasters]

Oh, nothing in particular, really. What would a God need with a machine, after all?

[Making an army to destroy other Gods, of course. But he's not going to bring that up until he's got someone he thinks he can trust.]

Pyrrhon just finds them fascinating! A real example of mortal ingenuity.

[babylonmechanic]

Not buying it. But sure, whatever you say. Have fun with whatever it is you're planning on not doing.

[tempus_fixit]

I'm a roboticist, but I think you already knew that.

[Her response to the sun god is, ironically, a little chilly.]

[pyroblasters]

Yeah, that's right! Pyrrhon's looking to find out if there are any others about.

Still, not to say that Pyrrhon wouldn't enjoy talking a bit more with you! What IS some of the most advanced stuff you've worked on?

[Other people not liking him does nothing to discourage Pyrrhon.]

[tempus_fixit]

Reploid technology from around here at the school. If you wanna know about the stuff back home, that would be the bipedal humanoid R-series from the future, or possibly Epoch...

[Epoch was easily a leap and a bound beyond anything else in her world, subtle and profound to the point where she can SWEAR that it was sapient sometimes.]

[pyroblasters]

Pyrrhon would like to know everything, if you've got the time to talk! Pyrrhon's immortal and time has no real meaning to me, but Pyrrhon understands if you've got something you'd rather be doing with your limited existance.

[tempus_fixit]

Well y'know, there IS this whole "water rising and earthquakes" thing that we really should focus on first, but I guess there's no harm in talking about it a little...

[Her face still isn't exactly the picture of trust, however.]
