The box hadn't been opened, but as it was meant to be a containerized charging dock, it automatically opened up to reveal her roommates trying to find somewhere to get rid of the cardboard exterior. (( @Sir loin of beef @Lord Moldoma A properly unambiguous opening for the flashback as you...

"Huh. That looks neat. I think I'll try that out when I don't feel dead tired." Gadg8eer said, before minimizing the window, locking the OS, and passing out in the beanbag chair he used as a bed. Wade Watts would have been, in Zoe's opinion, correct about one thing; Just because someone's a...

"Stopping train..." the voice said as she bailed onto the train cars on the adjacent siding. Hum was quick to do the same, as the locomotive didn't stop fast enough and collided with the string of empty freight cars on the track it took. Oddly, upon collision, the container flatcar (which was...

"Stopping train. Starting Train. Heading for Depot. No Destination, 70 km/h. Ignoring signal." the locomotive responded in a pre-recorded, 1950's female voice. The locomotive passed a red signal and entered a siding filled with various freight cars, leaving not much time before a collision...

The locomotive's cab was still present, and therefore the best option. She climbed down from the roof and onto the gangway on the sides of the diesel engine and opened the door to the cab to try and understand the controls... (( @hauntedbythewendigo How much do you or she know about trains...

The box was labelled "Conway-Alliance Shipping" and - once the cardboard outer wrappings were off - made of heavy metal, measured to fit the dimensions of the Stor-All Cargo Unit (or "SCU" for short). Clearly designed for the robot inside, the crate - a robot charging stand in mobile form - was...

"Very well." Gavin said as she drove off. "We'll do things the hard way..." he responded, and clasped his hands evilly as the window rolled up. At that moment, Zoe felt a sudden jolt as something collided with her and her VR equipment in her real location, cutting off the connection between her...

"Very well. Remember, though, this is a limited time offer..." Gavin said, and tapped the screen on his IOI-brand tablet computer to give her his temporary contact information. "...and I do mean limited." He showed her the display on his device. It read Current Time: 2028-06-29 @343 and showed...

"My company, IOI, have been able to successfully do what Hinobi claimed could not be done." Gavin gave a smirk that suggested he was in some way condescending, but that Zoe was nonetheless more valuable than an average pawn. "Would you really stick with Hiverse pirates when they can't offer you...

"Thanks, Zoe. Me too. I don't think I really understand people, and I assumed I knew what you wanted just because I knew what I would've wanted in your situation." Gadge explained. "I guess we'll see how things go tomorrow." he smiled. The rain finally started to let up when Gadg8eer opened the...

The Perfectly Electric Vehicle arrived at a shared building at 876 72nd Avenue, labelled as Abbeyfield Communal Home on the sign in front. "Thanks, again. For saving my hometown and helping me get used to this job. And for the lift home." Gadg8eer let her know, and reached for the door handle on...

The pole was just the guard rail on the external walkway of the locomotive, but it certainly wasn't designed for the digital - if surprisingly empathetic - demon's superhuman strength, bending and breaking off surprisingly easy. Unfortunately, this wasn't the kind of cartoon where nuclear...

"I- yeah. Are... are you Pentifer?" she asked, a bit shaken.

The scooter landed on the blue container's roof, loudly enough that Pentifer started paying attention and whirled around 180 to face the seeming interloper. Hum rolled his eyes and activated the Portalizer Ray that the player received from the final bosses in the Puzzle-Shooter franchise...

Gadg8eer immediately looked sad, because he was. "...I'm sorry. I just... I thought that..." he stopped, and sighed. "Thank you for all the help tonight. I'll be sure to remember you saved my hometown, and... I think I'll miss you. You've been a good friend today, and I didn't think I'd say that...
