Transcript Log

Accuracy of Log compromised by damage to subsystems.

Transcript recording available due to manual external disconnect of majority of sensor systems. Utilizing onboard backup microphone.

Partial log transcript follows:

“Can’t seem to. No the servo’s were fried. No. Yeah, it’s mostly hooched. I know you have some of the M-Type modules, bring those. Dunno, some protoype maybe. Half this is all industry standard, the vogue for consumer stuff is proprietary parts. Nah. You wouldn’t beleive where I found it. No really. Some alleyway on the North Side. Nah it was busted, you think I just steal working tech? That was one time and it turned out to be stolen anyway so whatever. Yeah, no. I had to yank like half the subsystems to even get it to boot in safe mode, but it’s humming along now. Lights are on but nobody’s home. Whole memsystem is locked, or Ida. Yeah. Yep. No, tried that. No, its literally welded shut. Only proprietary thing on the mess, that and a few connectors. Some of this hardware is old spare parts though. Some backyard tinkerer maybe? Whoever it was did a number on it, it was shot full of holes. Yeah shot. Fuck if I know. Underground combat stuff? Yakuza? Nah they wouldn’t try. You remember last time. It’d be funny to make it an adjunct though. [Laughter] Processor’s there, if it boots and doesn’t try to take my face off no reason to buy a new one. Yeah. Huh? Uh I’m feeling soup. The shop down the street by Larry’s. Uh yeah the M-type. Hang on. M-type and whatever sensors you’ve got. All the delicate stuff is toasted or contaminated. Bodybag design. Yeah, no, full body bag. I know. I told you, total hack job. Some clever bits but this was cheap-o cheap-o mass produced. Uh-huh. Alright. Beef. I owe you from last time, too. Yeah I got cash. Somewhere. Ok. Cool. Ok. Yeah. Ok. Bye.”

LAICA, do you have friends?

>Ｒｕｎ Ｃ:/ｒｏｏｔ/Ｌ.ｂｉｎ

>Query confirmed: Units designated “friendlies” occur during field operations. Primary directive is to fulfill stated operational tasks within RoE, and to ensure safety of friendly units when possible under current RoE. 

>Addendum: Current field operation is outside of normal parameters. All given operational tasks has been achieved. No command structure available to contact without violation of RoE or operational tasks. Unable to satisfy query given current information. Currently last located friendly was Engineer [REDACTED], timestamp 10 days, 6 hours, 43 minutes ago. 

>Summation: No friendly units in direct vicinity, all friendly units of unknown status. 

>Ｒｕｎ Ｃ:/ｒｏｏｔ/Ｌ.ｂｉｎ

>Assertion: Friendly.

>Prompt: Observation of much concept art and design of humanoid armatures suggests that robots were drawn without protective body casing. 

>Query: Why draw an armature in such a manner?

>Assertion: It is unsafe to operate an armature for any extended period of time without protective body casing, due to likelihood of debris causing joint damage. Removal of body casing should be reserved for safe environments, or in cases where damage to body casing negatively effects mobility.
