Good evening.

Having found one of these devices after my rest cycle, I admit to being a little wary. It's not exactly sharing much. But having read some of the entries on this network, it appears you may be in a city very similar to the one I've been stationed at.

With that in mind, does anyone happen to know the law enforcement status of this Seven-Fold City?

[ He's been considering a transfer lately. Might as well explore his options, after all. And he's gotten used to organic beings enough that the idea of heading straight back to Turingville isn't as appealing as it might have once been. ]

There's another place like this? With so many districts so disparate from one another?

To answer your question, there are guardsmen of some sort in every section, I think? Adventure perhaps less so. I don't think they would refuse help, if that is your aim.

[humble_pi]

The different precincts are divided by dimension lines but

Yes.

Precinct 10 has distinctly more organic humanoid life than Precinct 9, which is where I come from.

And that is... very helpful. If I ever happen to have to chance to visit, that is definitely a possibility.

[So. A rule of thumb: when someone refers to a race or nationality in such a detached way, they probably aren't one.]

Are you saying you aren't organic or humanoid? That's difficult to imagine.

[ The screen is black, but a distinctly different voice is clear enough. ]

One moment please.

[ Then the camera is turned to- well- ]

I wouldn't say I'm not humanoid. But the differences are clear enough, as I'm sure you can see.

Are you-...are you some kind of golem?

[Golems that have retained their minds are rare. She's only met two, though she suspects every one houses some shred of identity somewhere. That's why she's polite to every golem that isn't trying to kill her, even if they can't respond or acknowledge it.

This one's different, though. Painted so brightly, and ornamented with those spikes...it's why she had to ask.]

Generally, I prefer the term 'Ferro-American'. 'Robot' works as well. Though I suppose a golem is a suitable paradigm as well, despite the lack of religious bent in our production.

"Religious bent"?

[Katherine stares for a second or two at the screen, utterly perplexed.]

I don't think Caridin created golems for any religious reason. There are places where it's...considered part of worship?

[That's kind of terrifying, because she can see exactly how that might happen.]
