IS THE DAMAGE THAT SEVERE?

Your main structure is intact. You’re up and working… it could be a hella’lot worse…

…

IS THE DAMAGE THAT SEVERE?

Technically speaking, yes. But practically, no. You’re still operational, are you not? Then the damage cannot be that terrible.

I AM VERY AWARE THE SITUATION COULD BE WORSE

IT IS STILL TROUBLING

We could cut up a few Gekko, and use their parts to fix you if you’d like. -Turns- JACK! Get in here, son! We need that sword of yours! And bring a Gekko or three!

The alert response in the gekko is visible, if you happen to be standing near any of them. They visibly straighten up and Moo, reassembling as a…

well, ‘herd’ might be a good word here.

i can hear a gekko oh god i hate those things

Oh, shit.

hold on there’s a door here i think it’s like

a supply closet i’m just gonna

hide

forever

The Gekko trots down the hallway, seemingly unaware of the person cowering in the closet. It pauses as it passes the doorway, ‘head’ swiveling around to face the door. The machine eventually returns to its… patrol, and continues down the hallway, heading somewhere. Somewhere that’s not here.

…oh.

DUDE.  IT’S THAT GEKKO.  *She practically flails in excitement, running over to it.*  Hello sir or madam I hope you are having a lovely day and I am so very glad you have decided to join us in the partaking of foodnommage!!

The Gekko takes a step back, attention drawn from Snake to Rynn. 

She’s unarmed.

It lowers its weapon, and, for lack of a better word, relaxes.

*She smiles huge.*  I… don’t know what to call you, but it’s lovely to meet you!  *She sticks out her hand and holds it there awkwardly, not knowing what to expect.*  I would offer to fetch you some french toast, but I don’t know if you eat french toast?  If you do, I’ll go get you some!  I’d imagine it’s not easy navigating through here!

The Gekko might be confused. It’s hard to tell without facial expressions. Or any expression at all, really. It just stays still, ‘looking’ at Rynn. I

Moo seems to be all it has to say on the subject.

Someone.. Something seems to have found its way into the cafeteria seating. Anyone nearby can hear the footsteps

and the-

Moo.

*Snake casually as fuck wanders into the cafeteria with a  FIM92A Stinger Missile Launcher on his shoulder. He doesn’t threaten the Gekko, just sits opposite it, staring, on standby mode*

The Gekko that has found its way into the cafeteria wanders between the tables and seating, eventually turning to face Snake.

you can almost hear the alert noise going off

The Gekko straightens up, bringing its targeting systems online, and aiming at Snake.

it’s not shooting.

yet.

The Gekko was already beginning to wander off - it clearly doesn’t have the longest attention span. When Snake speaks up, the ‘head’ of the unit swivels around again, and the Gekko crouches.

Moo.

Gekko aren’t known for their conversational skills, it seems

*Snake, entirely confused by the situation, just stands there frowning and nodding slowly*

The Gekko just sort of plods away, head rotating back to face forward.
