EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTIVATED 5 MAY
BEGIN TRANSMISSION



. . .

Hello!

This message has been automatically transmitted to the Beacon town network. If you are seeing this message, it means Dr. Maridel Solis has been absent from her laboratory and has not reset this safety protocol in excess of [THREE] days.

I have been instructed to inform you, residents of Beacon, that this means you must exercise extreme caution as post-mortal revival and lantern reconditioning tasks are not currently being performed.

Based on the outcome of last scheduled task: [0205XXXX.PORTALEXPERIMENT] I anticipate these tasks will be resumed in [NEVER] days. Thank you!

Clara!

CLARA!!!

Nice to meet you, Clara! I'm Masaomi Kida.

The man of your digital dreams!

You'll never have to be lonely again!!

[Is Masaomi just glad to read something, anything, that lets him know a bigger brain than his is still out there watching over them? Maybe.]

[candlebot]

hi [MASAOMI]!!

i remember you! are you coming to see me?

that would be nice!

[mellowyellow]

You do??!

[HAS HIS MAN OF YOUR DREAMS PICK UP LINE FINALLY WORKED? HAS SHE ACTUALLY RENDERED HIS FLAWLESS FACE IN HER SLEEP?]

Of course, you do!

This isn't a face you ever forget!

But just in case, I'd better refresh those freshly chilled gigs, huh?

Where are you hiding, cutie?

[candlebot]

my current precise location is Dr. Solis' printing room! there are currently [12] lanterns here

what are chilled gigs?

[immortalaccursed]

Oh dear.

Sounds like someone shall have to check in on our dear doctor's lab. Where might we find it?

[candlebot]

hello!

@.username registered to [ARDYN IZUNIA] Beacon resident :)

you like poetry! i like poetry
i have never been outside but there are lots of trees here!

[immortalaccursed]

There are lots of trees everywhere, can you be more specific? If you can help us I'll share a poem with you.

[candlebot]

ok! please come and tell me in person if you can!

when dr. solis used to leave the lab complex to retrieve one of you she would use the EAST door

does that help?? i hope it helps! helping is my middle name!

that's what i used to tell her

Never is a fairly ominous prediction of her return.

What was the Portal Experiment she was working on?

[candlebot]

[0205XXXX.PORTALEXPERIMENT]!

she likes you all a lot so she took a big risk because if she could succeed it would buy you some time! that's what she told me. she was very excited about it!

she left her notes here so if you come read them maybe you will understand them better than i do

also she left her lantern :( but i think that was not supposed to happen!

[paletteswap]

She left her lantern? Is it still lit?

I don't know where the lab is. Daylight and Lord Cao Pi have been there to visit Dr. Solis, but I did not accompany them. Which direction is it in?

[candlebot]

no :(

it is quiet here and dark except for [1] torch

i have never been to beacon! when dr. solis leaves to visit your town she takes the EAST door from the workshop room and is usually gone for up to 3-5 hours

does that help? :) i hope so!

[ What even - ]

Hello Clara! My name is Pudding. It's nice to meet you!

If it's not terribly rude to ask, might I inquire as to what you are?

text always

[candlebot]

hello [PUDDING]! i do not think we have met before! congratulations!

i am Clara: La Ayudente RobóticA v 4.1! CLARA! dr. solis says my name is intentionally recursive :)

i help!

it's a good thing One Piece cooks apparently speak culinary languages (fite me)

[flangirl]

[ Congr-? Sure. ]

I don't think we've met before either! I only came to Beacon on the last ferry in April.

So you're a helper robot! Are you mobile or stationary?

[candlebot]

i have limited mobility! i can go from the house to the laboratory and all of its rooms

it is hard to walk in the woods because the ground is very uneven. and i am not allowed to open up the EAST exit on my own to come and visit you

but i would like to! dr. solis likes all of you and so do i!

[arsarcanum]

hey, now you got us! no more loneliness allowed :)

i'm sora! it's nice to meet you, clara. are you a program? does that make dr. solis your user?

[candlebot]

hi [SORA]!! oh! we have never met :)

i am not a program but i have programs that run in me! i am a robotic assistant! :)b

[arsarcanum]

[ SHE'S A ROBOT THAT IS THE BEST THING EVER sorry quick pause as sora tries not to squeal in glee, and also because he's about to use some big words he only kind of remembers from meeting tron. ]

never met, huh... well, maybe someday we will! i've never met a robot before.
you must be lonely without the doctor around :( we have to go pick you up asap!

do you have a directive? or are you just supposed to wait there until dr. solis comes back?

[fjorgedinfire]

[So his response is delayed because he only found Something Of Note today.]

Clara, do you mind if I ask you a question about some of those fancy locks here in Beacon? Seems like Doctor Solis used to use them.

[candlebot]

i do not mind! i love questions
. . .

[FJORD]! I remember you!

[fjorgedinfire]

[what]

I don't believe we've met before, but okay.

We found a lock underneath the church earlier, it's connected to a trap door. You wouldn't happen to know the code, would you?

[legalcy]

[He assumed this was simply a generated message until the last sentence.

That's not how you write an official letter.]

Are you operating the messaging system alone?

[Clearly, there is someone on the other end attaching personal sentiments to emails.]

[candlebot]

hello [MINIMUS]! oh it says here you are interested in inspections! maybe you should come and inspect this house for flood damage

yes i am currently very alone :( dr. solis is gone :(

[legalcy]

[Next question: why are they not capitalizing their sentences?]

From where have you received this information? Do you have a map of the area?
