[He seems almost apologetic for clogging the network, but the cause is, he considers, rather serious enough.]

I'm looking for someone who looks like me.  Kind of like me.  

His name's Drift. I've heard he's here. 

[He's been looking, but he hasn't found him yet. And that only compounds Wing's worry.]

I fear he may need fuel. If so, I am hoping someone will help take some of mine.

[ Woooooooah........ ]

Don't you need some sort of space fuel?

[ Like Space Marines? You're a Space Marine, right sir? ]

[knightoflight]

[He shouldn't laugh, especially as serious as the situation is. But it's one of those things where he's so serious that this jolts him out of it, that sort of laugh of relief.]

Yes. Space fuel would be a good word for it.

I see... I hate to say it, but if you can't find some sort of alternative fuel then you might have to give your armor a break for a while. I realize that's easier said than done.

[ Prooobably not for the same reasons that would actually be the case. ]

[knightoflight]

I'm hoping for an alternative sour---[wait, what?]

Give my armor a break?

video

[chittybang]

Yeah. If you need fuel to power it and you can't find anything to suffice, then... [ A sympathetic shrug. ] You may have to step out of it for a little while. But I understand it's somewhat become an extension of your body, right?

[ And actually, what does Priad do in this situation?

Something isn't adding up here!! ]

[knightoflight]

....

Oh. No. I mean, I can't do that. This is my body, friend.

[chittybang]

......

Get out of town, are you serious?

[knightoflight]

['Get out of town'?]

I, uh, wasn't aware we could do that. Get out of town.

But yes. This is, well, [he gestures with his hands.]...me.

[chittybang]

Oh, I'm sorry, it's an expression. I'm just really blown away, that's all; and I've seen quite a few extraordinary things around here!

video

[knightoflight]

Oh. Oh! [A bit of an embarrassed laugh.]

I've seen some amazing things, too, since I arrived. The first person I met was a chemist. Who made 'cookies'.

[chittybang]

[ Asami still can't figure out the legitimacy of this between her excitement and confusion. If he's really made of pure armor... ]

Really? Can you taste those, or smell them?

video

[knightoflight]

[He grins.] I could smell them. Apparently, others judged them to be quite good. [But, robots don't eat cookies.]

It was impressive 'chemistry', I think.

But what do you do, if I can ask?

video

[chittybang]

[Chemistry, huh... That's one way to put it. It's a little endearing, even!]

Me? Well, back home I'd just taken over my dad's business. I guess our claim to fame is the Satomobile, but we make other motor vehicles just as well.

video

[knightoflight]

Motor vehicles. So you make ground vehicles?

[He's fascinated.] But you're, well...human?

video

[chittybang]

Well yeah, I am. It's an efficient process with factories; all we need are human hands to work the machines.

video

[knightoflight]

That's fascinating! And you know the secret of making new life, then?

[Dai Atlas would be beside himself with joy.]

video

[chittybang]

Uhh— [WHAT] I mean.

What kind of life do you mean, exactly?

video

[knightoflight]

[Now he's confused and a little embarrassed.]

M-my kind of life? Cybernetic?

video

[chittybang]

I'm not sure I follow. [She frowns, a little embarrassed.] I mean, we don't make... robots..? That can talk. The closest we've come to your kind are mecha tanks, but they're piloted from the inside by us. Humans.
