YoRHa unit 9S here with some updates for you guys.

I've gathered some map data for the western stretch of the island, and I can transmit that to anybody who needs it. There're a few points of interest, like some white strawberries that grow around here, that sort of thing. In addition to that I've parsed my data on traps and fishing if anyone wants that information.

And as a follow-up to my last communication about projects to work on around here:
☑ Compiled data on Old World hydroelectric facilities for Dirk's review.
☑ Prototype rifle for a guy who thinks my goggles are weird. Didn't catch your name. Lalli.
☑ Portable light units for anyone who can use them. You can wear these, so they're hands-free.
☑ Larger light units for housing. I've got some of these set aside for Geir, but there's extra.
☑ Timepiece for Jay.
☑ Prototype holsters for Jake. You'll have to let me know if these fit right.
☒ House repairs ongoing.

Let me know where I can drop this stuff off for you guys. And any supplies around here would be pretty useful for more building, especially since there's nothing much by way of technology around here. The more I've got to work with, the more I should be able to do.

Maintenance is also one of my functions, so if there're repairs to do, let me know.

[neatlytuned]

Are you able to fix my cellphone then?

More importantly though, can anyone have one of those portable lights?

[deem]

I can repair or modify it, but if it requires a network, I'm not sure how much use you'd get out of it. They're for remote communications, right?

And lights are free for anybody, just lemme know where to bring some.

[lalliho]

[…………oh that must be him.]

Lalli. What's a prototype?

[deem]

Something like a rough draft. It's functional, and I think it meets your specifications, but I won't know if it feels right to you until you look it over, yourself.

[He's all about details]

[decipheringeye]

Whoa, you've been really busy lately!

[deem]

I like staying busy, makes me feel useful.

If you want some lights for reading, I can bring those by.

[rootbound]

9S, 9S...do you also go by Nines?

1/2

[deem]

Yep, friends call me Nines.

2/2

[deem]

Somebody talking about me, or something?

[oneandmikleonly]

Goodness, you really like to keep busy. What sorts of supplies do you need -- just general artifacts that can be broken down?

[deem]

Always feels good to help people out, right?

What do you mean by artifacts though? I could use metals or pieces of technology nobody's gonna miss. If I have to I can use things like wood, but they don't hold up so well for various types of gear, in particular.

[rebells]

You've certainly been busy.

You're staying in the abandoned house on the west side of the island, correct? I can meet you over there. We can compare maps, although I'm sure yours is more precise than mine.

Would a mill for grain be workable?

[deem]

This is pretty low-key compared to what I'm used to. I mean, tinkering's part of what I'm made for. It's pretty fun, if you ask me.

But that's right, I've been trying to fix the place up. You sure you don't want me to come meet you though?

If you can give me more information, I can work up some designs to start with. Depending on the scale I might need some help.

[alphonse]

[Let's all be grateful for telepathic texting so that no one has to witness Alphonse's typing.]

I hate to ask when you already have so much going on, but I might need a favor too. You can analyze and figure out pretty much anything mechanical, right?

[deem]

[It must truly be a marvel to behold though]

Hey, ask away. You've helped me out, you know?

Something like that should be pretty easy for me. [Not to mention, now he's curious] What's this mechanical thing?

[reckoner]

[ Anyone who can use them... ]

What does it take to use the light units?

[deem]

What does it take...?

[What a very curious question, at least to him]

You just activate it, is all. Nothing fancy.

[fastpaced]

You did all that stuff on your own? You're one heck of a hard worker. Color me impressed.

[deem]

It's no big deal. I mean, it's taken me a couple of weeks...

Besides, I was made for this sort of thing.

[argenteums]

Your "functions"? YoRHa type... what IS that stuff, dude? Didn't even know this place had basic electricity to work with

[deem]

Oh, I'm an android. There're a few of us around here. YoRHa are specialized soldiers, but in my case I'm better suited to support functions.

[Nothing weird at all about what he just said, nope]

It's possible to generate electricity with the right facilities in place.

[imsorey]

wow, you're really keeping busy!!! what kind of building supplies do you need? i'd rather not chop down a forest, but i think we can manage some trees if it'd help.

[deem]

I mostly work with metal, wires, mechanical parts... But I don't think we're going to find much of that around here.

For buildings we could probably use some wood, but you're right that moderating use of resources is important.

[antemeridian]

What does your data on traps and fishing involve?

Do you still have any excess material to theoretically craft another similar firearm? Or would you need for us to try to salvage more if you were to make another?

[deem]

Information on different methods and what they entail, in short. The mechanics of setup and how they work are pretty detailed, but I'm a detail kind of guy.

I picked up as much as I could back in Aimintas, so I think I could come up with something else. Not that I'd turn down more supplies if I can get my hands on them. How similar are we talking though?

[talim]

[ a fond smile that 9s can't see. ]

Are you ever not busy?

[ why is he asking? he already knows the answer to that question. ]

[deem]

[WELL THEN—]

Not too busy for you. [See what he did there?] Need some lights, Jude?

late tag in if you don't mind? :D

[equivalence]

Wow. You're the keep busy type, huh?

I'm kind of impressed.

...what sort of maintenance are you capable of, by the way?


[Asking for a friend. ...actually asking because there is no way he lasts long in this place without doing something to break one of his limbs in some fashion. And with no Winry around, well. She'll never forgive him if someone else touches his automail, but if it comes to it he may not have a choice.]

is it ever late for an elric?

[deem]

I do repairs for all kinds of things, like my body, or flight units, or...well. Whatever I can figure out the workings of, really.

Alphonse mentioned you might want a hand with your prosthetics, sometime?

[Automail, that was the term, wasn't it? It's still such a very curious notion to him]

[transcutation]

Cagliostro would l☆o☆v☆e to hear about where you found those strawberries!

[There's nothing cute about eating boar for almost every meal ok she needs sweets.

Some of the other things sound handy too but PRIORITIES]

[deem]

Cagliostro? Is that your friend?

[Some androids are new to the concept of people speaking in the third person. She'll have to forgive him his ignorance on the matter. Perhaps educate him a little]

But they're really easy to find, I can transmit the map data]

[splinten]

Thanks, 9S. I can review the information any time you're available.

[deem]

Okay, want me to send it in parts? There's...a pretty decent amount here.
