[ISG] - Tonal - A robot is watched

---

> Hit that tree.

>Stay clear of the weird purple tree lookin' things, they look dangerous

---

---

The robot attempts to touch a weird tree, but rapidly reconsiders.

---

The robot decides these trees are dangerous and decides to leaf.

---

After some time, the robot reaches the foot of the hill the large building was on and enters a forest of normal trees. It feels satisfaction at this.
In the distance it sees the houses, and heads for them.

---

The robot is uncertain what to do.

> Eat the black shadows.

> Look deep into those thingies. The static things. Why can't you see them right?

>Find a door and knock on it

>Find a door and knock on it

---

---

The robot knows it cannot attack.

---

The robot looks closer at the distortion. Its perception of whatever the distortion obscures is being erased in real-time.

---

The entity snaps at the robot and it leaves to investigate further.

---

It knocks twice at the flimsy wooden door to the shack. No response.

>Find stick or somesuch long pokey thing. Make sure the end is blunt, and carefully prod an entity.

>Open the door
if that doesn't work
>Break down the door
if that doesn't work
>Enter through the window

go under the house

From Investigations Council officer █████ ████████to the director of the██████████████.
While your compliments are flattering, director, the Council believes that your dedication to the recovery of the data is... less than genuine. This is not an insignificant matter, and your lack of oversight may have to be curtailed in light of... recent events.

go under the house

>Open the door

>Break down the door
if that doesn't work
>Enter through the window

---

---

On an impulse, the robot checks under the shack. Nothing but bamboo poles.

---

The robot finds that the door is shut and will not open. However, the wood composing it is flimsy and weak.

---

The robot smashes open the door and drifts in. It sees a defunct, older model explorer robot, which flickers and begins squawking in a broken code at the sight of its entry.

The robot accesses the black-box of the damaged robot. Most of the information is corrupted or damaged, and it flicks rapidly through the remaining recorded segments.
