[Network] General Announcement 2

[grifshot]

Anybody out there need or want scrap metal? Because I kind of have a lot of it right now and it's not like I'm using it for anything.

I kinda want it gone before Sarge finds it and starts building robots again. We already have one and he's enough really.

Only thing is you gotta come and get it, because I don't do deliveries. Prices negotiable.

How much and what sizes?

[grifshot]

Uh, lots and various. Like, I can give you a whole car or just pieces of one.

[the_informant]

Pieces. A lot of pieces.

[grifshot]

What kind of pieces though? Little, big? 'Cause I can manage it. Just gotta get more specific.

[the_informant]

Yes.

[grifshot]

Thanks.

Car Shoppe. Edge of town. I'll let you sort it out.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

How scrap are we talking?

[What? Jersey's not around to stop her.]

[grifshot]

Pretty scrap. It's from a bunch of old cars people don't want.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

Mind if I come by and take a look?

[grifshot]

Sure, if you want. I'm at the Car Shoppe at the edge of town.

[oquirrh_at_the_wheel]

I'll stop by some time this week, then. Gracias!

[grifshot]

Alright. If I'm not at the front desk, I'm in the garage, so just let me know when you're there.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

but robots so cool

[grifshot]

no they're not.
you've met lopez
just be glad you didn't meet dos point o

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

i like lopez
the shit he says is hilarious
u kno
when i could translate it later
adding spanish to after asl
what was wrong with dos point o?

[grifshot]

you actually translate what he says?
what does he say? i usually tune it out
dos point o was a robot that sarge built to try to replace lopez
because lopez went missing
but he was just dumb
and then he went crazy and tried to kill us all
lopez came back and stopped him
since then i've tried to slow the robot creation process

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

when i member it anyway
lots of hilarious stuff
lot of teasing
also smart stuff
real interesting guy
...
how was a robot dumb
they r made of numbers
its hard 4 numbers 2 be dumb
esp if they go in killer rages
that usually imnplies either over thinking
or sentience
go go lopez tho

[grifshot]

huh, who knew?
keep doing that
maybe he'll say something useful

look we're good at making shit that shouldn't happen happen
and idk
he just was
like we'd tell him to do stuff
and he'd just stand there
it was weird
dunno what even caused the killer rage

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

probs does all the time
maybe get him to gesture more

mb u werent putting it inr ight
like some interfaces require very specific input
somehow put in kill everything command

[grifshot]

dunno if that would help
do as much as speaking slowly

all we did was mess up the speech unit again
maybe that did something
he only spoke spanish as well
it's kind of our thing
spanish speaking robots

[#redteamproblems]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

u can get a lot from body language
adapted from not seein faces ykno

mb he couldnt understand english
if language interface was broke
sounds like the makings of an interesting soap opera

[grifshot]

lopez is a robot

[Grif didn't catch on for a while]

it probably was
like i said, it's kind of our thing
speech unit always shorts out to spanish
feels like it some days

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

a robot with an exceptional ai
amazing what u can get from that
admittedly it is diff

p sure it cant short out 2 spanish
not without other shit happening

[grifshot]

lopez? exceptional ai?
are we talking about the same lopez?

i wouldn't be surprised
but it's not like we check on our equipment
well simmons does
but i don't listen to him

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

says the guy who doesnt kno the programming that goes into an ai
esp a snarky as all hell ai
lil hal was the only 1 who got that lvl of smart assery n he was a copy of a human brain
shits hard
takes weeks of work usually
so yeah
p badass

i mean if it was a short
itd do other stuff
usually something would catch on fire eventually 4 a short
or shut down
