[ It's actually unusual for a bot to communicate this way, but since text on a screen allowed it to have a comfortable distance from whoever it was communicating with, that was the default that it was using. ]

Since I've learned there is a whole bunch of humans that are already here, I have to figure that a lot of them already have their own ways of protecting themselves, since there is no possible way I'd be able to deal with that many clients all by myself. If you don't, though, and the humans all decide to do something that is borderline suicidal, then more power to you as long as I don't have to clean up after it.

I did see that it was common for a job to be done in exchange for a hard currency card. There are way too many of you for me to be able to call all of you my clients, but I'd be willing to rent myself out as a security specialist for smaller groups again? Although, as a security specialist, I'll tell you right now that most of you humans are way too fragile to be doing repairs to buildings that are not structurally sound.

Good, there's more than one option. Are your systems harder for medics to work on than purely human systems?

Oh. So it's basically propaganda.

[rogue_sec_unit]

Sometimes it's harder for medical equipment meant for a human to function the same in proximity to my inorganic parts. E.G., if I ended up with a hole in the back of my knee, the medical equipment would have issues with the proximity of my metal knee joint.

It's propaganda based on a seed of truth. It is possible for a SecUnit to go rogue and kill everyone on its contract, but it's just not as likely to happen as the entertainment media would have you think.

[lyingheart]

Don't humans also have inorganic parts from those augmentations you mentioned before? Seems like these systems could benefit from an overall update, if that's how those things work.

Just as likely that a human can or would. At least back home we have much more evidence of people turning on each other, and not just because they were on opposing sides to start.

[rogue_sec_unit]

They do, and that's why it is technically possible for us to be treated on a med platform for humans. It's just that things from an emergency kit usually won't work for us because of the proximity of inorganic parts to organic ones.

Humans who are under a lifetime contract will sometimes kill each other just because they can't stand the horrific situation that they are in anymore. In the Corporation Rim, humans can be a lot more disposable when they don't have a bond company that will get upset if you destroy one of their expensive SecUnits. In my experience, it doesn't matter what world you are in; humans are always the scariest thing you can encounter.

[lyingheart]

I see. So the emergency kit would need to be fitted to have what would work for a higher mix of inorganic parts to the organic ones. Not sure that's a problem here since it's a mix of magic and technology, unless your inorganic parts don't mesh well with the magic. Haven't seen evidence of that so far, for what it's worth.

Humans are the scariest creatures on any world. At least most the monsters aren't deliberate in their cruelty.

[rogue_sec_unit]

The only magic that I have ever seen has been in media, so I can't comment on that particular data set. Not to say that I disbelieve you, just that I don't know how it would work.

[lyingheart]

Might be worth investigating now that you're here. Magic fucks with just about everything, and you've got it now, too. Because you're one of "us," as Otherworlders.

[rogue_sec_unit]

To be totally honest? I don't know the first thing about magic or how I'm supposed to use it. Is there like an operating manual or something?

[lyingheart]

The guilds have the best information. Enough of it is public you can use their facilities or their network to review without having to affiliate with them. It's a good starting place.

Which season did you arrive in?

[rogue_sec_unit]

It was cold and snowy, so I am going to go with Winter. I've been part of the Winter Guild, but to this point, I have not used any magic when I go with groups of humans as Security.

[ It's already been built to superhuman standards, and though that would make it stand out in the universe it comes from, that paradoxically makes it fit in quite well in Ellipsa. ]

[lyingheart]

Resistance to magic may be more useful in the long term, but if you're Winter and you'd prefer to have an understanding of what it can mean in situations that call for it, I recommend talking to Levi Ackerman. He's Winter too. Been here for years and can give you a rundown on what the skills are, what they may be useful for, and if you want to bother with picking any of them up.

Some of what's run into out in the Segments annoyingly only responds to magical means.
