I am currently suffering from apathy towards most online communication. I have been trying to post, but between work and my social life I haven't been very rigorous.

The android considers the foe. Although the robot may see everywhere, can it keep track of all that information?. The android quickly moves to the left, blurring his hands as he swings at the silver entity.
At Tabitha's imperative, the android leaps into action once again, throwing its mass into its strike - but it miscalculates, and it's sword rings against the doorframe.
Sorry, I have been on a work trip and a wedding. Forgot to post in this game.
The android maneuvers around the robot, flank or no, and ducks in to slice at the optic sensors of the construct after quickly surveying the creature.
The android's eyes flash silver as it moves to open the door, sword tightly held in hand.
Triax surveys the blood. "Most healers I have known are more dedicated to cleaning up after themselves. I am curious as to what manner of creature bled so much while crawling here."
The android studies the creature and copious amounts of fluid scattered about the room. With unliving focus it ducks low, flicking its blade out and slicing at a leg.
Triax tightens his grip on the sword, ready to race into the room.
"Drinking troughs for very small animals?" the android guesses, but it is more distracted by the smear of blood across the floor. "That bodes ill. Perhaps we should follow the trail."
"Perhaps it is nothing more than a ledger of these... meals."
Triax proceeds into the room. "This room appears harmless enough. A place for meals, perhaps?" It scans the room, and then proceeds to the cabinet and opens it.
"If it really is an ooze beyond, we should proceed with caution. Is it not true that some will replicate themselves when struck by edged weapons? An interesting and useful reproductive strategy, but not useful to our continued survival." The android lays a hand upon the morningstar by his side.
The android paces across the room and attempts to open the northern door.
"Magister Flynn, perhaps you should take a look at this. Writing in the android tongue and exposed teknology"
Triax turn to the central, circular room, trying that door. "I ponder if this egress is also barred; we may need to take a longer path around, or find a way of destroying the door."
"I fail to see how investigating a distinct, repetitive noise leads you to the conclusion that I am damned. My observation indicates there is no immediate threat in this location, and something active in the adjacent room; you are of course a free entity and may choose to stay and investigate this location if you wish."
"There is a repetitive low-level vibration emenating from the adjacent room." The android abandons the currrent room to investigate the next.
"Your level of threat assessment is demonstratably suboptimal." the android flatly states to Kadosh.
"I suggest we continue to work our way around the outer rooms of this wing. A systematic approach is best."
Ouch, down to three. Bye Jasper!
"Rest is not required, except as a means to stop and reflect. Whatever entity manufactured me did not deem it necessary." The android pauses. "The dreams woman-born creatures have sound intriguing as a state of consciousness, but I have never suffered for their lack."
"As you wish, Magister. I will choose another title. The room where we engaged the four-armed creature seems fairly defensible. I do not require sleep and am capable of standing watch all night."
Triax wipes his blade before sheathing it. "As you wish. I am able to continue if the group reaches that consensus. I am flexible, mistress Tabitha."
The android swings at the remaining plant person with decidedly inorganic efficiency.
"Retreat, Magester Tabitha! We handle this!" the android implores. The android studies the creature closest to Tabby before attempting to behead it.
The android feints left, but then quickly twirls and lashes out at the right side of the chief.
The android smoothly shifts its focus - retargeting the remaining vegepygmy.
"I understand!" the android acknowledges before stepping into the room, holding a carefully defensive stance. It slashes at the nearest vegepygmy. vs flat footed
"Yes, as you say. It is the sensible approach." The android looks over Jasper's leather Jerkin. "It would seem that your need is greater than my own, if you wish to make use of the ring."
"Many things of utility. We should take what we can; these individuals have no use for them now."
Triax is entirely neutral - but it does throw Kadosh a calculated look before circling the current foe and lashing out with his sword. vs flat footed
"Yes, that seems rational." Triax immediately proceeds into the room, sword in hand.
"There is an entity inside a cell, but atmospheric scattering is interfering with my hyperspectral imaging." The android pauses, realizing its artificial programming temporarily superseded its own free will. "I believe I saw something in a cell, but am uncertain.". It finishes.
Triax studies both the creature and the room carefully, looking for anything that might be important. "What of the tools on the tables? Are they necessary to our further explorations?"
"That would be unfortunate - but perhaps likely at this point, realistically." The android opens the single door on the southeastern wall.
Triax immediately tries the southern door, wasting no time.
"Does one of the little colored square keys open this door?" the android inquires, and then proceeds to try both the brown and black keys, temporarily sheathing its sword.
Triax returns to the science deck. "There is blood on the floor there" it notes, pointing at the Northern door. "Although we should investigate, perhaps we could approach from an a different way, on the chance whatever caused the blood still waits within. I suggest this door." The android notes the large central double door.
"Do not be dramatic Kadosh; of course she could look away. I have known several wizards in my existence. These wizards always have a certain look about them when they are working; it seems probable Mistress Tabitha shares the same look." "Tabitha, if you believe the button might restore the Torch, then try. It is not our primary goal here, but still a worthy one."
"It seems rather a leap in logic to claim that the light will hypnotize us. We can try and use this tools, and in trying learn - human fear, however, gets us nowhere."
"In the next room? One is as good as another, in the absence of information. However, what of this room? All of these mechanisms are at least as complicated as the... energy relay... we encountered before. I think that is a power measurement device of some sort, for the rest I would defer to an expert" the android pauses abruptly and stares at Tabitha, perhaps expectantly.
"It strikes me as unusual that any being would worship and entity that claims domain over misfortune. But the natural-born and their beliefs often puzzle me." The android turns its blue tinged eyes to the eastern door and hefts its sword, ready to advance and face whatever danger lies beyond.
On a business trip 6/6 to 6/10. I should be able to post, but bot me if needed.
The android crosses the room and snatches a small black keycard off the floor. It turns to offer the find to Tabitha. "Tabitha, perhaps this artifact will be of some use to you?"
The android quickly moves up and begins to circle around the undead menace.
Quickly reacting to Tabitha's information, the android pulls and applies a sheen of blessed weapon oil before stepping in front of the wizard to shield her.
Triax frowns and shifts its blade to the ready. "Is there any specific action you would suggest in light of this information? And please, allow me to take the lead." the android notes as he presses into the room and readies to open the door upon assent fromt he others.
Triax nods, apparently ambivalent to Dejah's departure. "I do not reach the same conclusion as you Mistress Simin, but your destiny is your own." Without pause it turns to Tabitha. "That was most adroit. I am impressed by your mastery of technology, Mistress Flynn."
