-----------


This is Genos. Shinki to slavic god of hospitality, Radegast. If possible, I request assistance from those more experienced in workings of the Far Shore.

Today I've returned to my god's temple, with an uninvited guest.

[ A short video attachment, shows Genos chin down, with his shirt rolled high up, almost to the collarbone. That's it if he even had visible collarbones. The hatch on his chest is open, and in the cavity, among all the machinery, right next to the glowing blue orb, lies a kitten. Fur disheveled, and it seems to have hurt leg, but aside from that it's a normal, albeit homeless, kitten. It wakes up, blinks owlishly to the camera, yawns, and goes back to sleep, snuggling comfortably. ]


Should I assume I've been interacting with a ghost-cat from the start? It could see me, and tried to make me pay attention to it. Which is unlikely other inhabitants of the Near Shore.

However if it's not a ghost, would the travel to the Far Shore hurt it? Is there any official protocol on giving a temporary shelter to such Near Shore creatures?

looks like you're a proud cat dad now!

[scrap_metal]

That would be pretty much impossible.


[ taking things too literally ]

[oathkeeper]

why because you're a robot? you can still be adoptive cat dad! if anything that makes you a better dad!

[scrap_metal]

[ Adoptive dad, that makes more sense! ] I'm not a robot. Regardless, I plan on bringing it back to full health. I appreciate the encouragement.

[oathkeeper]

[Looks back at the picture, squints.] you sure look like a robot!

[scrap_metal]

I get that a lot. [ Brace yourself Sora, a TL;DR is incoming. ] I'm not a robot, but a cyborg.

A robot is an autonomous, entirely artificial entity, and its form has no bearing on its purpose. An android would be a robot made to resemble a form of a human, for example. Cyborg is a biological organism, most often human, who has certain processes enhanced or replaced by mechanical or electronic devices. Basically a prosthetics integrated with the nervous system.

[oathkeeper]

[He reads about up to about "most often human" then perks up. This is the toaster that Sonic was telling him about! He's instantly excited! Cyborgs are so cool!]

you're the cyborg!! I heard about you! you have super cool rocket punch arms, right??

[scrap_metal]

[ now he's surprised. Good thing he doesn't know about the "toaster" ]

You heard about me?

[oathkeeper]

yeah! hermes told me about you! do really have rocket punch arms then? can i see them??

[Sora is star struck right now.]

[scrap_metal]

[ now he's kinda worried what Hermes might have said about him, oh well ]

There is a possibility that different set of arm was equipped with rocket punch. The ones I have currently on me have only fire blasters and boosters.

[oathkeeper]

blasters and boosters?! you should show me you should definitely show me!

[Sorry Sonic, Sora might like cyborgs a little tiny bit more than ninjas...]

[scrap_metal]

...if you insist.

Unfortunately they are not really effective against ayakashi. [ at least until he's in the vessel form ]
