((Annnd we're back to creepy Kyle.))

((... Goddamn it, Kyle. That's creepy. Really, really creepy.))

((Sure, just let his daughter in law die. Fuck no, he has the technology!))

[USEC_OFFICER]

((It's completely unsolicited, he started work on it out of the blue, Alice isn't dying or has a terminal illness, and it's a complete robotic copy of Alice. Which means he checked her measurements and junk. That still doesn't strike you as creepy in any way?))

[PrivateNomad]

((it's SCIENCE))

[Empiricist]

((You realize that it won't work, right? Unrealistic depiction of such technology and it's societal implications aside, if something happens to Alice, she'll either be perma-dead, or below zero HP. Such a thing won't save her if she's perma-dead, and regular healing would be enough and far more reliable if she's just below zero.))

[smurfingtonthethird]

((Dammit Kyle, stop making creepy stuff.))

[Rolepgeek]

((It's not Kj's fault, I think he honestly doesn't realize how creepy or screwed up this stuff ends up looking))

((That, of course, is creepy in it's own right and makes you wonder, but that's not a very nice road to continue down))

((Stop getting all defensive Kyle; building a robotic copy of someone you love is a symptom of someone who is obsessive. We aren't attacking you, we're talking about the character traits your character displays. Don't make them an extension of yourself, it just ends up making everyone involved upset))

"What do you mean? Did-did I do something??"

[kj1225]

((Well, making a robotic copy of Hilda would just be redundant wouldn't it?  ))

[PrivateNomad]

((Depends on which of her forms you make a copy of.))

[Rolepgeek]

((Well, making a robotic copy of Hilda would just be redundant wouldn't it?  ))

((Not at all; that's perfectly reasonable, in case her current body gets destroyed.))

((That is, perfectly reasonable if he gets her permission. Yes means Yes, Kyle, not just No means No))

[smurfingtonthethird]

((If kyle built another HILDA with a new AI, drama would be had))

"Y-you sort of l-lost control of your c-combat systems, i-it went crazy a-and attacked the t-team..."

[Rolepgeek]

"What? I don't remember any of that...I just remember fighting the giant lightning thing, then I must have been hit harder by it than stuff like that usually does and passed out.I mean...it couldn't have been that bad, right? I mean, I didn't team up with the thing or anything, did I?"

She seems weirdly calm, but that's probably just the drugs. Or something. She seems to be under a sedative effect of some sort or another.

Kaiser keeps scanning nanobot activity.

"N-no, I th-think it w-was in control... b-but for n-now, y-you should s-stay out of c-combat, until w-we work out e-exactly what happened."

[Akroma]

Please don't. Alice and I had talked about this.

"Dr.Facheuse, do you see this symbol?"

Walpurga points to a symbol on the inside of the mask, a roughly human shape, one half white, the other black

[PrivateNomad]

"Half light, half dark - half creation, half void. The mask may be depicting demons, or how the soul contains arcane-abyssal energy."
Alucard begins to crossreference, opening numerous books and paging through them for the symbol.

[Akroma]

"I zink I may have seen something like it before. A moment."

Walpurga lights a candle and climbs into her suitcase. Several minutes and much cursing on german later, she emerges with a large scroll, almost 2 meters across and only god knows how long, made from the purple tinted leather of what could only be a sea serpent.

"Help me roll that out, would you?"
