Message 09: Picking Up the Pieces

[unrecovered]

[It's a few days after FILSS' opening the training room, and Wash is still tired. He's in full armor and helmet to hide that fact. He holds up an AI chip in front of the camera. It's hollow in the middle and isn't lighting up.]

Melody had this. I'm pretty sure she found it on the Mother of Invention. Those of you who know what this is, there isn't anything in it. It's not active. That...doesn't stop it from talking.

The ID card from the post office and the blank photo from the mansion. Who has them?

[In the background, Melody protests, albeit not nearly as loud as she had when he'd mentioned getting another cat. Hey! She was holding onto that for Lela! Give it back!]

[He may have put it down by this point. He may be really tired of voices in his head.]

It's an AI chip. It usually houses an AI. This is what they look like without the holograms.

[raisethemoon]

I see...

Do you intend to keep it? [She worries about you and voices in your head. Even muffled, apparently safe ones.]

[unrecovered]

Yes. It's literally something my cat dragged in.

[Melody yowls at that remark. Hey! She carried that, thank you very much!]

I'm not going to sleep with it under my pillow or anything.

[raisethemoon]

Very well. I should offer to seek for any spells on it, but I doubt there is any more to be found than with the other two items.
