Wait whoa
I think I get it
That was a storage for a bunch of other TAMS and
TAMS have two eyes, those other guys only have 1
the unidentified robots appear human, but if you look closely, they're far from it
apparently bot was once on of those unidentified robots before he was put on a portable, probably because he wasn't quite right in the head. his "relative" (as i'm assuming) was apparently due to be put on a portable because he too was wrong in the head.
Find more crap to do.
Like DCB-Z
Speaking of DCB, you wonder if she's been cleared for release yet.
You're about to go visit her when something pops up on the side of your HUD. Apparently you're being called to some sort of meeting. Huh.
You arrive in the meeting room. It's a large rectangular room with a very long glass table. Each seating place has a touchscreen built into the space in front of it, and there are various hologram projectors in the room. You see that the flowering plants that decorate the room's corners are coming into a colorful bloom.
Among a few important humans and Chyrannians, you see a few head directors from the TAMS team, including
Hemias Besidras. Surprisingly, TNMS1 is also seated, along with everyone in your party, Themeron, and Xeron.
And Deceb Zetra.
Amazingly, someone figured she'd be stable long enough to last a whole meeting. Of course, you aren't sure how long it'll last, but you've been given a complete file on what the meeting is all about. So either they figured she'd find some fresh air useful after all that time in solitary confinement, or they thought she might be of use here.
"I'm glad you could make it, Ciricad Axiometra," Hemias says, standing up. You take a seat at the head of the table. Navaro and Stojanow are on either side of you, with Themeron by Navaro and Lia next to Stojanow.
Hemias faces the rest of the meeting's participants before continuing. "I'm sure each of you are at least somewhat aware of the growing threat posed by the Kkryonitte virus. It's stripped several planets of their life and has claimed countless more lives of organics and robots alike."
You glance over at Deceb, who seems to disagree with what Hemias is saying. Nevertheless, she seems to be handling herself rather well. You notice what looks like a planet on one of the screens set into the wall.
"Thanks to several missions and over a year of research, we believe we've located a general source for this virus. We've found that the ones responsible for this epidemic are known as Shy'ryx. After one of our TAMS crews were attacked by Shy'ryx fighter ships, we discovered that the Shy'ryx use Kkryonitte for nearly everything: weapons, fuel, even shielding."
One of the human participants raises his hand slightly before speaking. "How are these... Shy'ryx workers capable of withstanding the Kkryonitte's effects? As far as all of our research has uncovered, there is no way to become immune to it. It corrupts organics and robots alike."
At this, Deceb steps in, and everyone looks at her in surprise. "Well, if you believe so firmly that there is no cure, no immunity whatsoever, then why aren't I dead?"
Everyone falls silent for a moment as they think it through.
A small smile creeps onto Deceb's face, and you're fearing that she's lost stability until she speaks again. "Those Shy'ryx researchers have found a... cure, if you want to call it, to this 'virus.'" She stands up, both of her hands on the table. "In fact, they're creating an entire robotic army that's completely
immune to it's effects!"
TNMS1, still with Bot's AI built into him, looks up. "I've seen it for myself," he says, and he sounds surprisingly serious. "I was there until they put me on that Portable because of my mental instability."
One of the Chyrannian leaders stares at TNMS1 in horror. "You're one of those Shy'ryx workers?"
TNMS1 shrugs and opens his mouth to speak, but you're the one who jumps in. "He's mostly stable and he's certainly on our side. I found him over a year ago on the planet below. With what I know now, I'm assuming that the facility I found him in was once a Shy'ryx base of operations."
"That's all fine and dandy, ma'm," begins one of the younger human representatives, "but how do you know that your friend TNMS1 isn't still controlled by Shy'ryx?"
One of the Chyrannian elders adds on to the human's inquiry. "It's entirely possible that he could turn on you at any moment," he says in a cracked voice.
"There's an incredibly high chance that Bo- TNMS1 is considered dead to the Shy'ryx," you reply firmly.
"That's possible," says the Chyrannian, "but it's also possible that you're taking a huge risk with him."
You sigh and lean back a bit. "That is possible," you agree quietly.
Navaro frowns and straightens up. "I don't think this meeting was held to argue over how much we can trust TNMS1," he says, looking over at Hemias for confirmation. She gives a nod and looks back at the group.
"All that aside, we're currently debating on if attacking the Shy'ryx's current base of operations would be a worthwhile step in halting the threat of the Kkryonitte virus. We aren't entirely sure what exactly we're up against, which is why we've called in both human, TAMS, and Chyrannian representatives."
She takes a breath as the screens change yet again. "We're left with a few options that I'll present here. We can launch an outright full-scale attack; we could send an agent such as TNMS1 in to gather more information on what exactly the Shy'ryx are doing; or we can sit back and wait."
