Hello. My name is DLN-001 Quake Woman, but my creator calls me Tempo. If that seems strange to any of you, it is due to the fact that I am actually a robot created by a scientist named Noelle LaLinde.

My purpose is geological surveillance, but I can't imagine it would be of much use here. I suppose I should seek employment, but I'm not sure how quite to begin. I would be thankful for help in any way.

That said, I will do my best not to be a bother to anyone. There are many things I do not understand, but I was created with a capacity to learn, so I imagine that will come in time.

Thank you all again.

Does the name "X" mean anything to you?

[earthshakingbeat]

Y-yes, but... you know the kinds of problems I have with situations like this...

[earthshakingbeat]

... he what?!

[earthshakingbeat]

... you mean aside from the variable?

[earthshakingbeat]

Okay. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey, just remember what I told you before - this might be another world, but that all still applies.

Um... she, actually. She would do that sort of thing all the time. I never knew what she'd installed until it activated on its own! The time with the cuckoo clock was the worst.

Nevermind, then. My own name has no meaning either.

My name is Zero. Do you know of the 13th Hour?

"But come down some time and I will input you into the service system."

[earthshakingbeat]

... Zero?

... um. I don't know much, why?

Video

[earthshakingbeat]

That... that's horrible!

[video]

[earthshakingbeat]

... I know, Rock. It's just... it's just difficult, you know?

[all_wound_up]

Well... she's only eight years old. I'm not sure she really thinks of it like that.

[strangerfromthedesert]

Like I thought. I am much like you, able to think and feel as a robot, that is all that matters.

The 13th Hour happens every night at midnight. It is very dangerous then. Are you able to defend yourself?

Re: Video

[earthshakingbeat]

Alright, I will once I have a free moment.

Video

[earthshakingbeat]

... your creator is only eight?!

[earthshakingbeat]

... I see. May I ask who your creator is? Perhaps mine knows yours... if we're from the same world that is...

... and yes. Yes I am...

[strangerfromthedesert]

If my creator still lived, I'd know. I was found in a broken-down laboratory that looked centuries-old.

Good. Try not to let yourself get killed.

Video

[all_wound_up]

Yes, that's right.

Video

[earthshakingbeat]

They must be some kind of amazing prodigy!

[all_wound_up]

She's very smart for her age! The problem is, she knows it.

Video

[electricyousei]

"Understood. Let me know."

You'll do fine! Thankfully there's nothing dangerous going on here right now at least, so there's plenty of time to get acclimated.
