Haha, it's pretty hardy stuff. Part of why the Titan's gate is so busted is this.
[ but they consider roboji for a moment, gauging the distance between the lil arms, and then start to pull at an equidistant point on the door from the original spot. ]
[ just casually holding a conversation while getting back into their lifting crouch, really trying to put their legs into it. they figure a more calm approach to this might help shoma keep calm?? maybe??? ]
[ Anyway, Europa regroups after some surveying the rest of the hallway, their metallic wings at their back fanning a little out with a blip of discomfort. A more faded sting of pain. But their voice is quiet, monotone. ]
yeah they're not wrong. it's enough to help if this (when this) inevitably doesn't work because shoma's been lowkey nervous about this ship since they woke up. he's well-aware of his disadvantages of being his size, and now watching the slow increase of things going wrong hasn't helped. ]
...did you build it yourself? [ he normally wouldn't ask, but generally the people who've been most understanding of roboji and how he wants to treat the bot are at least a little more self-aware of the work that goes into these things. he could stand to think that he's distracting them, but no, he's asking questions. europa comes back, too, and he's also eyeing their wings and noting their demeanor. both of you don't break things, actually. ]
[ over their shoulder, keeping that constant - if muted - determination up as they dig their feet in and pull. ]
... no, someone else did. [ steady, calm, patient, as metal on metal groans again. ] Hhff. I'll show it to you later, if you'd like, when we're out of here and can get a bit of time.
...I definitely want to see your hand later. And I have questions about the teleportation trick for later. [ but he knows they have other things they have to address. ] Let me guess. Usually there isn't interference?
[ a strained laugh when they hear europa just. return. they guess that's fine!!! ]
Perks of promotion, for that second one, but not usually. [ not at all, their tone implies. ] Alright, let's try Roboji - if anything happens, I'll just get the things you need for repairs myself.
Which kind of alludes to an even bigger problem. [ again! not good! but he nods and roboji seems to understand, rolling over toward where ganymede is while shoma hovers back closer to europa. the robot fits its dumb hands into the holds, and it starts to try and bend the metal. yall know how strong it is, you tell me. ]
Seems like less of a promotion and more of a bribe if it can just be taken away. [ it's like an aside because. well. it's more than he has right now. ]
[ It's answered with a nod because yeah, essentially that's what it means! Arms come to a cross as Shoma comes closer their way, watching as the robot does their best to help aid Ganymede with their attempt to Door. A roll of 13 means the robot isn't breaking their hands right away at least. ]
The others would say more of a perk than a bribe. [ No need to bribe when you enjoy your job and work. Anyways, now they are watching this just Happen. Trying to force open doors when technology cannot be relied on. ]
...We might have to accept we are locked in until morning.
[ They say as they look down the other hall, with a static thought of, could... try to.. break other.. ]
And you? Is it a bribe or a perk? [ does europa enjoy their job being a glorified babysitter? roboji is doing its best! it is working! it...is being closely monitored by shoma who will stop it before the robot breaks its hands but he's letting it go For Now. ]
Everything resets in the morning, basically? [ he does hear that thought and gives them a curious look, but he waits on that. ]
[ That's all they have to say about it apparently, moving on. Look Roboji and Ganymede go.... Ganymede is probably doing their best, but even with high strength nobody is getting that door open. ]
It should. When it does, we'll be able to run a diagnosis and figure out properly why the Eudora decided to lockdown. A bug in the system, possibly something it detected, or maybe we did miss something.
[ That last bit sounds like it is intended to be a joke but they do not have a good joking tone or even tried to. ]
Considering how everything else has been going... [ he still has only half-faith in the crew at the moment. ] ...what kind of a bug do you think would cause it to go into lockdown? Just something triggering the protocols?
[ better yet, what would it have to detect to force a lockdown, period. ]
Except that door, which isn't opening. If anything, it's only causing an obvious dent. ]
It could be something triggering the protocols, yes. However, that doesn't explain why all of our requests to override were denied. It would be one thing if someone hadn't agreed to it but all eight of us have.
[ Their helm tilts in Ganymede's way. ] ...Would have likely been able to get that door open if we allowed weaponry on hand.
[ ganymede drops down to sit when roboji is called off, and they look at the dents tiredly. ... fined for... again... is a fragmented, muted thought. they just seem frustrated to not be able to open it, though. ]
We're too far out from the hub for them to be able to do that, unless they built in something in the ship's mainframe to trigger. [ propping their arms on their knees and just Staring at this door. ] You know why weaponry on hand would be a bad idea.
[ Roboji may have successfully avoided breaking fingies but they are likely dented from the strain. Poor baby robot...
Europa surveys the area, silent while Ganymede answers and only acknowledges the end of those words with an audible huff. Hmph. They let it sit until they tilt their head to look at Shoma before Ganymede. ]
I'll watch over for the rest of the night. If something comes up, I'll alert you both. Get some rest.
[ Firm, leaving no room for argument, but you know it's nearing that time anyways for nighty night time so. ]
[ ...well he will just. plop down on the ground like the saddest wet kitten in the world. this continues to be terrible, even while he's looking at roboji's fingies. fuck. okay. he'll have to figure that out later... ]
...
[ he can't really argue though. and it is nearing the time for passing out on the floor honestly so it's fair. ]
