Niflheim Industries Now Hiring!

"But I don't li-li-like being metal," said Maya as she felt Fimbulvetr's hand as she pet her cheek. She felt a bit scared. "It isn't normal. I-I-I am not suppose to be metal."

[Yeah, I missed you. Sorry... -__-;;]

"From the sounds of things, nobody around here remains what they're 'supposed to be' for long. How is becoming a robot different from becoming, say, a bimbo? Or a shy girl?" the scary woman asks.

Miccah sweatdrops, "... so this is just another part of the building... this must be some sort of orientation video or something..." She sighs, and looks around the theatre.

Sam blinkblinks a little and takes a seat, watching the film, curious as to what 'good' the place actually does.

"Well, for one thing, while we do conquer entire worlds, we do it with precision!"

THe next clip shows a world being attacked by pinpoint orbital bombardment.

"We always offer the world a chance to surrender peacefully. If they resist, we only attack the resistance and try to incapacitate them rather then destroy. Once the world is ours, we do not oppress the locals in any way. We let the governments continue their rule, as long as they cooperate."

"Or just giving you a chance to surrender peacefully and make things a little easier, ya know?" Ryu asked, giving a shrug. "I mean, think about it. If you resist, don't you think things would get a lot messier?"

The place goes quiet at that.

"She's so confident she'll think we'll surrender without a fight?..."
"Well... if it means sparing lives..."
"..."

They starts talking amongst themselves again.

(( Fimbulvetr has piqued my curiosity... >:3 ))

A small convoy of armored vehicles pulls up outside of the gleaming new skyscraper, a pair of troop transport vehicles with an armored HMMWV inbetween. A woman in a uniform, with long silver hair, climbs out of the HMMWV, while a pair of armored robots disembark from the troop transports. The woman looks over the building for a moment, studying it, before she proceeds inside, flanked by her robotic bodyguards.

Assuming nothing interferes with their arrival, the trio will approach the robotic maid behind the counter. "Greetings," the silver-haired woman says with a slight smile. "I would like to make an appointment to meet and talk with someone, hopefully in a position of authority. I understand that it is likely that miss..." She pauses a moment, as if searching for the name. "... Fimbulvetr cannot meet with us personally, but I would hope she would be willing to arrange an opportunity for us to meet with someone with some reasonable authority within her organization."

[That's bad... FOR THE CTC! >;3]

The maid smiles that smile that's too wide for her face.

"Oh certainly!Into the elevator please."

She points to the elevator that goes up.

The android looks at the robot, tilting its head. "No, I am currently employed..." He dusts his jacket. "I am here to inquire about your company. My employer finds it... curious."

"And who is your employer play tell?" the maid asks.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

The maid smiles that smile that's too wide for her face.

"Oh certainly!Into the elevator please."

She points to the elevator that goes up.

The woman in the uniform frowns at the unnaturally wide smile, but nods. "Very well..." she says, walking over to the elevator with her two robotic escorts -- although she does glance back curiously at the android that is still at the counter.

Once the trio step into the elevator, there's a flicker of energy as the robot's CRAVEN fields activate -- just in case.

[Maiden Miki]

[Yeah, I missed you. Sorry... -__-;;]

"From the sounds of things, nobody around here remains what they're 'supposed to be' for long. How is becoming a robot different from becoming, say, a bimbo? Or a shy girl?" the scary woman asks.

"Well...well.....It just that...." said Maya who seem a bit unsure on how to answer. She gulped and then nods, "Well a robot is well....metal and stuff. Made from things like bolts and stuff. With a bimbo and a shy girl....they are still flesh and that is how people are born....You kind of just made me from flesh to metal."

[KonokoHasano]

The place goes quiet at that.

"She's so confident she'll think we'll surrender without a fight?..."
"Well... if it means sparing lives..."
"..."

They starts talking amongst themselves again.

Ryu sighs at this, honestly finding a dislike in politics and all of this talking. "Come on, make a decision." She muttered.

[Azathoth]

"And who is your employer play tell?" the maid asks.

He glances at the CTC trio... then looks back to the maid. "I am a representative of the Black Isles Tech Corporation... I dont suppose you have heard of us..."

[Miccah]

"Well, for one thing, while we do conquer entire worlds, we do it with precision!"

THe next clip shows a world being attacked by pinpoint orbital bombardment.

"We always offer the world a chance to surrender peacefully. If they resist, we only attack the resistance and try to incapacitate them rather then destroy. Once the world is ours, we do not oppress the locals in any way. We let the governments continue their rule, as long as they cooperate."

Miccah frowns, more propaganda...? She shakes her head, nothing is ever innocent about taking lives. She nods sagely at herself, but decides to sit this through anyway, not wanting to attract any more attention to herself after the encounter with Fimbulvetr...

[Raleigh]

Mars? Don't think she is Mars. No, I'm here on behalf of Fimbulvetr to offer a choice. Either complete surrender or horrible destruction and devastation and all that. Are you one of the suitably highly placed people for me to deliver the whole deal to or do I need to look elsewhere?

[Marky]

Sam 'hms' a little to herself as she watches, pondering whether or not this is more than likely just propaganda or the actual truth. She gives a small glance over to Miccah for a moment, before looking back to the film.

The elevator dings and opens! They have arrived in the large office, however, a new gynoid has replaced the one that tried to warn Miccah and Sam. Not that they would know that.

"Well...well.....It just that...." said Maya who seem a bit unsure on how to answer. She gulped and then nods, "Well a robot is well....metal and stuff. Made from things like bolts and stuff. With a bimbo and a shy girl....they are still flesh and that is how people are born....You kind of just made me from flesh to metal."

"You make it sound like I've stolen something from you. You can still do everything a being of flesh can. Only now you are stronger and more durable. That sounds like a plus to me." Fimbulvetr says.

Ryu sighs at this, honestly finding a dislike in politics and all of this talking. "Come on, make a decision." She muttered.

Soon they fall silent.

"Very well. Tell your leader we will... negotiate."

He glances at the CTC trio... then looks back to the maid. "I am a representative of the Black Isles Tech Corporation... I dont suppose you have heard of us..."

"Oh, we have. We make sure to investigate all our potential rivals." the gynoid says.

Miccah frowns, more propaganda...? She shakes her head, nothing is ever innocent about taking lives. She nods sagely at herself, but decides to sit this through anyway, not wanting to attract any more attention to herself after the encounter with Fimbulvetr...

Sam 'hms' a little to herself as she watches, pondering whether or not this is more than likely just propaganda or the actual truth. She gives a small glance over to Miccah for a moment, before looking back to the film.

"Now, you are probably thinking this is all propaganda. I don't blame you. Perhaps you would like to hear from the people who work under me?"

THe film switches from slides to an actual movie, showing a man, a woman and a little girl. All of them have tough-looking leathery skin and the man is very muscular. The subtitle identifies them as the Darmians of the mining planet Mernian.

"Aye, before Miss Fimbulvetr showed up, this place was hell." the man says. "We 'ad to work twenty hour days in 'azardous conditions with our only pay being not gettin' whipped. Then she showed up, took down the rulin' class and offered us fair pay, better conditions an' just a better life in exchange for continuin' doin' what we were doin'."

Mars? Don't think she is Mars. No, I'm here on behalf of Fimbulvetr to offer a choice. Either complete surrender or horrible destruction and devastation and all that. Are you one of the suitably highly placed people for me to deliver the whole deal to or do I need to look elsewhere?

The man smirks at Raleigh.

"Fimbulvetr? Never heard of her. Now get out."

[Marky]

Sam blinkblinks a little bit. Okay...now that was weird... She thinks to herself, still looking on, although a bit in confusion over that.

[Maiden Miki]

"Well that is good but I don't know.....it just feels uncomfortable is all. I mean you wouldn't like it if somebody took your business or something would you?" said Maya as she rubbed her arms.

[KonokoHasano]

Soon they fall silent.

"Very well. Tell your leader we will... negotiate."

Ryu gives a nod as she closes her eyes, attempting to get into contact with Fim... somehow.

[Azathoth]

"Hmm... interesting. Well to put it lightly... I'm here to see what your doing. My employer is curious."

[Jello Shot Mischa]

The elevator dings and opens! They have arrived in the large office, however, a new gynoid has replaced the one that tried to warn Miccah and Sam. Not that they would know that.

The silver-haired woman steps into the office, followed by her escorts. She glances about a minute, before stepping towards the gynoid. "Hello... we requested an opportunity to meet with someone in authority..." she says.

[Raleigh]

*Turns one of the weapons around and shoots at the man's kneecaps.* I'm sorry, what were you saying?
