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.

A few, I don't know them all. They'll probably respond to you though.

[Heck one has already.]

Can you tell me any names? I can't really start if I don't know where to look...

No, not really.

You may not even know who they are even if I mentioned names.

... well, then I'm kind of at square one.

What. Don't you have any patience?

... well, that's not what I meant...

I mean. I'm glad you told me, I'm just... will things really just start happening if I wait around?

Maybe, maybe not.

But it's better than wandering around getting into trouble.

... I never said I was going to do that, though...

Can never tell. Some folks are stupid like that.

Trust me. The last thing I want to do is throw myself into danger...

Oh then you won't get along with Rock.

Rock?!

Rock Light?!

Possibly.

Maybe.

If he's here and you know him he'll show up, I bet.

... Who exactly are you?

Nobody important.

Yeah, forgive me if I'm not so sure about that.

And yet it's true.

You've put a lot of energy into telling me nothing and something at the same time. I'm sorry to say, but it's rather annoying.

Not really, that is to say it's not taking much energy to do this.

And it's not my fault you're annoyed either.

No, it very much is.

And I don't have to put up with it anymore.

If you say so.

... And I'm surprised it took you this long to come to that conclusion, Tempo. Take care.

[at the very least, Tempo can now add severe annoyance to the list of emotions she's re-experienced]
