3rd of Malachite, Midsummer of 101 AE (After Emergence)
Private journal of Overlord Gamma Razorshoot


We are progressing quite well considering the circumstances and the...occasional strange activity from some of my compatriots. The fuel cultivation chamber's done, as well as a protective wall around the entrance. I'll have Spelguru attend to the roof and once the first underground level has been properly secured I'll have them dig a trench around the wall to deter intruders. Marvin, despite his protests, finally agreed to set up a proper gate. TBM has been busy excavating further chambers, one of which will become the foundry. The only minerals found so far have been some tetrahedrite, a few lumps of native aluminum and some shiny rocks. Spelguru insists that they are gold opals and clear zircon, but I have to take his word for it. I don't care if it's not claro opal.
Looking at our stock of fuel it's clear that we'll need more, but Vél insists that the cultivated biomass grow further before harvesting. I decided to send Billy topside to harvest some local wildlife. Told him to take the extra sawdisc. Last report from topside indicates that he's running after camels, swinging the sawdisc madly and generally enjoying himself too much. I'll need to do something about that bot.

End of Line.


((In other news, Gamma has fallen in love with Marvin. Because I decided to ignore gender completely when naming robots and ended up with a female Marvin. I wonder how I should handle this. I'm taking suggestions.))

 Can they reproduce? If so, say they are planning a project. More of a construction project than a romance.

 Then they emerge with a new bot, one they have been working on for a while.

Doubtlessly. I'm just unsure as to what would a whiny crafterbot/mechanic have that would interest Overlord Gamma?

Name: Necrontyr
Military: Bladebot
Bio: Death obsessed robot, recovered from an excavation site. Reactivated, and remarkably repaired itself before the excavation leader could order him recycled. The Council flunkys were terminated and Necrontyr set his eyes on a new objective. He took up his blade...and set out. Likes poetry and long walks on rotting human bodys.

I normally just read these stories, but this time I want a dwarf 'bot.

Name:  DoomBringer XLR  (that's extra large robot)
Profession:  Gunbot
Gender:  Male

Despite how much his size would help in combat, he prefers to stand behind fortifications shooting at meatbags.  It's more fun when they can't hit him back, he says.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

7th of Timber, Late Autumn of 101
Overlord's log


I have a feeling that Velmenni likes his job too much. He's been labeling the biofuel canisters with his signature and calling them masterpieces. At least it keeps him happy and doesn't affect efficiency.
Unfortunately we don't have accurate accounts of pretty much anything. I'll have to have an office set aside for myself for accounting. And perhaps some suitable furnishings. Maybe a weapon rack...
I've asked Marvin to set up a processing station for all these ornamental minerals we've been finding. They ought to be good for trading. I hear organics love them. I'll have Marvin embed some of our products with them.
I believe we are sufficiently prepared should any trade caravans arrive. Biofuel and clutter some people think is art. I think it's a clever way to cheat people out of their money.

End of line.
