>”Hi. My name is Charlie, I represent H-TEC, I mean-dammit.”
The bipedal doll dressed in full fucking combat gear holding what looks like a NERF Assault Rifle groans, you can vaguely make out the faint shape of teeth behind the mouth of the mask. The voice is female, and a bit warbly. The term ‘dorky’ passes through a few members of the Hive.
>”I represent Skin! There we go, Skin on this trip, H-TEC otherwise. Ignore the van logo.”
<inquiry>What the fuck?
The Doll, Charlie apparently, straightens up, making you wonder if the thing has bones. The truck huffs a massive blast of smoke around her. The doll coughs a while while you watch on in confusion until it clears its ‘throat’. Throat?
>”It was supposed to be a lot of us coming here, Skin too, in a week or so but... You guys did something really weird, the Remnant radiating from this area is off the charts! It’s super cool and also indicative of some really bad stuff.
>”Get into the van, you’ve probably pieced together your boss doesn’t let you see how they install your robots, if you’re on these grounds during an expansion you’ll be put down for the Day anyways. Your presence will be dampened while you’re inside. We’re hoping the method they blank you all out is automated, they shouldn’t know you’re gone.
>”We hope. Hive-Tech is fascinating, but I’m kinda walking on glass even being here.”
The Sun is starting to slowly ease the darkness...
<inquiry>How can we trust you?
>”We? Oh! You mean your little robot friend too. It’s weird to see one look so normal without the disc influence. And not trying to kill anything either, that’s really neat!”
>”...Thanks?” JJ is confused.
>”Wait, you asked a question. Uh... I dunno, if you don’t wanna come with me, my main job is to wipe out some monsters anyways. Way too much Remnant near the Lake, need to move that focal point away from here and back to Utah.”
<statement>What.
