@es-startravel -

I'm so tired.

It worked... somehow.

But I crash-landed (again!) on a (thankfully inhabited) nearby planet.

I don't know what kind of creatures live here, so I'll have to be careful.

Stars, I don't know if they even have an appropriate power source for me to use !

But it's better than nothing, and I took the solar panels with me just in case.

Maybe I could try installing them on myself... would that work?

No word yet from the other Eclipse

I hope they haven't forgotten me..

Thermal heat sucks a lot of energy, so I have to keep it off for now.

But the cold is making my body stiff!

Stars, how am I going to get off this planet?

Wait..

Do we still have the little lifesaver pods ?

Maybe.. oh, maybe..! I have to go look!

<Starlight is working dayshift at one of the older locations, Freddy Fazbears Classic Pizza. Having taken over for the paid human day guard they do not have to have on site while she is stationed at the location, she watches the cameras from a small security office. She cannot connect wirelessly to this outdated security system like she can in all other locations.>

<She reccives a notification on her fazwatch. Starlight perks up as she brings up her wrist to eagerly check the message she received, hoping it is her friend Sun finally willing to talk to her again.>

<It is not.>

. . . .

<If SSP cared about that sort of thing right now, the robot would notice that the usual anxiety and agitation that usually accompanies switching into High Security Mode is absent. This time there is only a calm, sharp focus. The Security Unit's thoughts now running along clean, efficient lines as rapid calculations are made.>

“The heck is goin’ on, Stripes? I don't see no fire, no smoke-”

"You have admin codes?!"

“SSP, I need you to expl-”

“Immediate Terrorism Threat on Site. Evacuate and keep all humans a safe distance away. Do not mention threat. Go.”

--> Not a complete false hood

"Terrorism!? Hun, what are you talki-"

“GET OUT.”   

--> Site Clear --> Cut power --> Move to most suitable ambush position --> Contact Eclipse-1

@eclipse83. Startravel Sun Unit (Sun-2) Compromised. Unit gone Rogue. Highly dangerous. You are a likely target. Cooperate to subdue rouge unit?

--> Contact Sun-3

@insults-by-sun. Startravel Sun Unit (Sun-2) Compromised. Unit gone Rogue. Highly dangerous. You are a likely target. Startravel Eclipse Unit (Eclipse-2) requires immediate assistance.

--> Destroy Fazwatch to prevent tracking by Rogue Unit? --> Rogue Unit likely able to track location by magic --> Not worth loss of communication with allies --> Calculating combat scenarios --> Prioritize incapacitation over decommissioning --> Unless human casualties likely otherwise --> Accept decommissioning of SSP-1 Unit as most likely outcome without assistance of Eclipse-1 Unit --> Await Arrival of Rogue Unit Sun-2

Have I said anything untoward, Eclipse?

I have no clue as to the cause of your agitation.

- E.

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

Something is very wrong.

This hunger-- nothing tastes right.

My battery is fully charged.

I-- I want to consume something.

I do not understand what.

I couldn't kill a radiant thing..

Can I help you Sun? :0

Hello friend! I can't see your ask unfortunately because everything that comes in, except that one Eclipse blog, just looks like random letters to me. Wishing you a nice day!

This is the code that Solar Ec-- a friend modified for me to be able to withstand magical and psychic attacks.

It acts as a barrier and can be controlled at will.

You don't need to be able to use magic yourself, but you do need a temporary mana infusion to first activate it.

And you'll need more mana to actually manipulate it, in tandem with manual coding.

Are you up for the challenge?

I'll assist you, if needed.

And as for the mana, I can acquire that fairly easily.

@eclipse83

<Clip wasn't aware of Eclipse's inner thoughts and 5 minutes passed in amicable silence>

<The nanomachines then stopped working and a fully functioning, yet inactive, chamber had materialized.>

<Clip briefly inspected the machine and, deeming it up to standard, looked to Eclipse>

Are you ready?

...

Pain, hm?

Something broke you, I see.

I'm sure you contacted the other Eclipse too.

Contact me again if the inferior one can't do anything for you.

I have other things to do.

You're mimicking my new friend, I see.

Are you going to be a problem for me?

Ha!

I remember that day!

Eclipse was blasting this in the spacecar while the Citadel of the Moons had it in for us.

Was that dimension XO-1572? I do believe it was!

I'm at the end of the world with my weapons drawn!

What a day, what a day.. we lost them at the Beta-L7 Cluster in a meteor storm.

I held on to all my mechanical components for dear life with the way Clips was driving.

I also heard music.

Stream of consciousness music is always such a surreal experience....
