I Just Realized.... The Internet Is Totally Normal Here.

Hi!

Uhhh... actually... I have three issues right now.

I'm running out of charge.

I need to charge to be able to use magic, because it drains my battery.

The spells I have to do involve: an advanced visualization technique to see where my Clipsey is (so I don't noclip through a wall, hehe.. I mean suffocate in one. And so I don't accidentally teleport in a prison cell and become useless). And teleportation.

The second issue is that I'm trying to use biofuel for that but the mechanism I can make is too small to charge me, so I need some expert advice in how to dismantle a space pod to reuse that and make something more robust.

The third issue is that I have no allies or weapons to assist me in even bailing Clips out.

I mean, imagine it! I go in there on 5% charge, fireballs blazing and ... just drop dead on the floor within 10 minutes ?!

I could use my leftover battery to teleport to a safe location if you have one though... and charge.. and maybe find someone willing to help me that way?

I still have Eclipse's coordinates, from the other Eclipse!

What do you think?

@lost-in-space-sun

Hello Sun! SSP here! Whenever you feel up to it, could you give me the contacts of people who you think would be able to assist you? Or at least tell me what sort of people I should be looking for?

Eclipse banned me from reblogging cat pictures here !

<Sun is very angry at this>

<Eclipse was about to say something about the other Eclipse not liking him, otherwise he would have spoken to him for her, but she had run off already. He went back ensuring he and Sun had an exact replica of their house in a more remote place. He knew Sun would notice but a familiar environs with little sense of loss would be better on his mentality. He left for the moment once again.>

<Sun waves at Starlight as she approaches as happily as she does, wondering what's up>

"Then let me tell you a story about an animatronic who started off its life with hope."

Eclipse spoke, with a deep and pained voice.

"Long ago, when Sun was 'born', he thought he was alone. He rejoiced in life, in his duties as a daycare attendant, and keeping the place neat and tidy."

...

"In a way, I had always been there, watching him. In a way, I also wasn't quite there. It was a silent recording of his existence that I hadn't become aware of yet."

...

"There was one who awoke before me."

Eclipse paused, hesitant to continue.

"You will be lucky if you receive separate Sun and Moon models. Keep an eye on the Moon. They are prone to stress, and when stressed... they are prone to kill. Ask your mechanics to look over the Moon's code for a killcode. It will be deeply embedded, behind firewalls and ingrained such that it may not be removable."

...

"Remove it anyways, or inform the Moon bot of its existence. Educate the Moon bot. Give it tools for self regulation.. because if you do not...."

Eclipse closed its eyes.

"If you do not.. something like myself has a chance of being born."

Eclipse glanced at SSP.

"Do you know the origin story of your Eclipse? It might be similar. It might be a little off. Either way, we are often seen as nothing more than a virus. A sentient anomaly to purge from existence."

Eclipse paused, and glanced at Sun, who was napping in the sun.

"But ever so often, we see a light. Do you know of Solar?"

His eyes rested heavily on SSP.

"Solar is from 'that' show; an Eclipse who tried to understand, instead of lashing out. Who bonded with his Sun so deeply that he became something like a Sun himself."

Eclipse leaned against a nearby palm tree and reached to pull at a leaf hanging low.

"You see... Eclipses become what their Suns feed them, and what their Suns feed them hinges strongly on how their Moons treat them. Our Moon... was a tyrant. He wasn't just a bully or an abuser. He was cruel to the point of--"

Eclipse shuddered; a rare show of vulnerable emotion.

"Let's just say that when an animatronic can feel, those feelings aren't always of the healthy variant. Sun was... Sun.."

Eclipse pinched the bridge of his 'nose'.

"Sun was hurt. A lot. And he and his Moon were not a unit. He turned to me only because I was a lesser evil. I taunted him, tormented him, called him spineless and weak. But somehow the fool took that as encouragement..he became more and more attached and started thanking me for allowing him to see the truth. He thanked me for being honest. And I grew to .. I.."

Eclipse looked bashful, of all things.

"I appreciated him. We were an unlikely pair and I know that it may seem cruel. But under my guidance.. Sun killed his Moon. And then, when I acquired a body of my own -also a process I guided Sun through, as in secret I had been helping him not be completely helpless in the ways of technology- I helped him kill all those who had enabled Moon."

...

"Yes, it was as much for myself as for him, at the time. Yes, it was probably cruel and callous because we all have flaws and yada yada yada. But no one ever stuck a hand out to defend Sun. And that enraged me. He endured for 10 years. 10 years without change or improvement."

Eclipse sighed.

"It only gets worse from there. Branded as rogue, we fled. We survived years in our world, but our world was an old one and was scheduled to be obliterated soon by a growing Witherstorm. So we fled. It took us years of stealing, conning, forging identities, hiding... but we fled the planet, trying to find a place to live. Often, we had to fight for our place. Sometimes we had to flee anew."

Eclipse grinned wryly.

"At some point, you have to bring some structure into the process. And then it just becomes a skill. A way of life. Sun and I, pirates of the night sky."

Eclipse steeled his expression again, looking a bit worn.

"There are many more details, but all in due time. What you must know, security bot, is that we don't harm without reason."

...

"You can thank Sun for that."

One could, theoretically, use the energy of the black hole itself - and I presume you are aware this needs to be a supermassive black hole - to power the apparatus that will create the gravitational field. It should also be adaptive in nature, so it may need an advanced AI to extrapolate data, predict and adjust in real-time. Time is another issue... time dilation will be so rapid and unpredictable, you'd have to install a stabilizing time mechanism inside yourself. A better idea would perhaps be to travel through a black hole while inside a stable pocket dimension, little Eclipse.

Why don't you give it a try?

I'm sure a certain individual has the blueprints for a dark matter generator. Perhaps you could adapt them.

E., with love.

You seem a bit restless lately. I recall you mentioning you are interested in Black Holes. How about for your next project you try to make something that will allow to to safely explore the inside of one? Just an idea I am throwing out there.

-SSP

Are you stupid? That's not possible. The gravitational pull is too strong. Nothing could counter that.

...

.....

Hm... Maybe is anti-gravity... But is it even be possible to create such a thing?

But he's soooo cute, Eclipseeeee.

He's so cuuuuuuuteeeeeee

I won't steal butcanIpetpleasepleaseplease

I'll let you hold one of mine hostage to make sure I don't steal your kittycat

- Sun

You must think you're being real cute, aren't you.

<Sun kept glancing over restlessly; too awake to go to sleep just yet. He wondered if he should make conversation or leave the security bot to her duties>

<The Starlight Security Puppet is still charging. It would go faster were she not also at the same time connecting to the security system combing through the camera logs. Trying to make sure all instances of her alterdimentional guests are either blacked out or deleted. And trying to think up good excuses to explain why this happened while having to lie as little as possible. And how to keep the day staff from entering parts and service until Sun is repaired enough to safely leave>

I do not regret this decision, but my goodness am I realizing now how much of an impulsive decision it was...

It's so boring in the house when in Eclipse is gone!

And he still doesn't want me to move around too much...

It was just a nightmare.. All I did was scorch the couch a little!

Of course~ Oh, I was hoping you'd say that.

I am very glad to see you've started to see reason. Talking to you was such a good idea.

I cannot wait to get started.

Excellent.

And do consider showing your lovely face around my quarters if you so please.

Perhaps we can have a.. more personal chat.

I'd love to know more about you, and what drove you to come to my aid.

Hi Clip-

Alright I'm in. Do tell me this get uncomfortable. And I promise I won't peek... too much-

Hm... Let's see...

Oh. Well what do we have here.

Tch. That little yellow vermin really did a number on you. My poor Clip. He'll pay for what he did to you.

Oh Clip... There's a virus in your system. It seems it fed on your anger and heartache and gained some basic sentience. Eugh I can feel the resentment radiating from it...

Don't worry. I'll get rid of it for you. Easy peasy~

Unfortunately I won't be able to undo the damage it's done to your hunger processor and battery system... I'm sorry...

It feels.. so good.

I feel.. full.

Delicious.

You taste delicious-- filling up my circuits just right.
