Hello! [ The voice that all but springs into your ear, should you tune into this particular network post, is bright and cheerful and nearly bursting with an attempt at curbing his excitement. ] Hello, I'm the Doctor — just one of us staying on this station for one reason or another, hey?

I have some good news! Well, good news if you like waffles and popcorn, sometimes at the same time. No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. [ He will not be taking questions about this at this time.

He's a man of impeccable taste, after all. If you haven't tried fish fingers and custard yet, you are missing out. ]
All thanks to the bits I've found in the lab, and perhaps a fair amount of boredom — time really does move slowly, doesn't it? — I've made a waffle maker! And a popcorn machine!

[ He pauses deliberately to leave room for cheers and applause. Or disbelief, there's always some of that too, he supposes. A video will flicker to life, showing the kitchen and a tall, chinny man in a bowtie and a fez staring back. He waves, then pans over to the appliances in question. ]

I've placed them in the kitchen; did a little reorganizing, you see. Feel free to use them, they're meant to be used. Ah — and don't worry, the waffles are supposed to look like ... little clouds. [ There's a beat. ] Sort of. They've still got the waffle-y bits though, that was important.

[ Yes! If anyone were to venture into the kitchen, they'll find said waffle maker and popcorn machine proudly placed on one of the countertops. They're both a little funny looking, not your sleek Kitchen-Aid/Cuisinart models from Earth, but a suspicious mish-mash of metallic bits and bobs. Aesthetics may have been low-priority but both machines will work! ]

Has anyone tried to put custard over popcorn before? Think I ought to try that.

[ Perhaps for everyone's sake, the video feed cuts off. And there you have it. ]

[Hello friends it’s WHEATLEY TIME. Do you know what that is? No? You are about to find out. If you haven’t met Wheatley, perhaps this cheerful British voice is new to you. If you have, well. Hello. It’s the metal soccer ball guy.]

GREETINGS, hi, this is a—this is Wheatley, actually. If we’ve met. If we haven’t met, I’m the—the robot guy. Thought I’d pop on the network, say hello, introduce myself, see how everyone’s doing, after—after all that.

The mission, right? That was, uh, well, that was something. An eye-opener, if you will. Sort of got me thinking, you know, about—about being a little more prepared. For the next one. [Cough.] Not any of you, obviously, you were all brilliant. I was thinking more about…increasing my own…ability. In that department.

[Tell us you’re useless without telling us you’re useless, Wheatley.]

Fun fact! The hovering is new, for me. Wasn’t able to do that, back home, and it’s been enlightening, to say the least. Moving about without a management rail! Can you imagine? Got me thinking—I know, generally speaking, that you humans are a bit squishy. Easily damaged, prone to leaking all your blood out through a couple of bullet holes. But! You do have thumbs, which I’m starting to think might be advantageous, for someone like me. Given the situations we’re bound to find ourselves in, on these missions.

I was able to fight a monster with just my, uh. Person. That is, my body, but it did involve a lot of bashing myself into it, which, while successful, is not something I’d care to make a habit of. Putting that out there. I am breakable, and it seems much more, ah, straightforward…to just throw a punch the next time I need to defend myself. Or. Hold and shoot a gun. Maybe a bladed implement, or a thermal discouragement beam. I’m not picky.

So that’s where I’m going with all this. Limbs. Thinking at least two arms and two legs, but, again, not picky. Thumbs, as discussed, preferably opposable. Surely there are a few mechanically-minded individuals here who might like a medium-term project. I don’t have much to offer, um, insofar as payment is concerned, but I’m sure we can work something out.

Besides, it should be easy! I’m designed to interface with—with all kinds of things, so we can throw it together from scrap metal and plug me into it, for all I care.

[That’s it! Thanks everybody no wait there’s more]

Also, if none of that made any sense to you at all, I’m happy to stick around. And. Answer questions. About robots, because that's what I am. Just in case you were wondering.

So, has everyone settled in alright? This is Viveca, by the way, for those who haven't talked to me yet.

It's going to take a while to track the signal of the first orb and charge the teleportation platform enough to transport all of you... so while we wait for that, I figured you could get to know each other a little better. You know that the success of your missions depends on you knowing each other and being able to work together, right?

Anyway — I happen to know of this game called "two truths and a lie". Apparently, it's a great way to get to know more about people. All you need to do is think of two true facts about yourself, and one that's not true. Let others see those, and they'll try to guess which one is the lie.

It's so easy a literal child could manage that. So have fun and make some friends... or at least learn more about your teammates!


( ooc: make your own comments for your two truths and a lie and then respond to others! go wild! if your character wants to talk to viveca specifically, please indicate that in the subject line -- otherwise she'll just be observing, not responding! )
