A Rebirth

Asim: That's what I guessed when I saw the wildly different buildings.

"yeah was a human world about half a century ago"

Asim: I also guessed that........I'm honestly surprised you didn't call the local militia or anything.

"what against you two? you did save my life remember, I aint a guy who turns in the people who saved me"

Asim: Yeah.....people, erm, things like us...would probably be shot on sight, even by the people who heavily augment themselves.

"Considering for us combat drones are 100% legal and used incredibly often in our military....i think you two wont be considered illegal or anything, especially if most people think you're just androids"

Asim: From what I know, "android" tends to imply a lack of emotions....kind of hard to pull off, given what's happened to us.

"I meant just a robot in general"

Asim: Do you have many humanoid or...tau-oid robots?

"Not sure honestly"

Asim: Right....Look, we just need a place to lie low for a bit.

"I understand. I got space for you here. You can call this place your home if you wish"

Asim: Alright...Th-thank you.

Ooc. AAAAARKEEEEN! Today, is the day, when.....i will probably just fall asleep way before you would arrive again....

PINGAS

Chimichangas

Ooc. ....wait, getting cooked meals in school for lunch isnt a thing in the west? O.o
I mean there is a roughly 25-30ish USD monthly fee associated with it if you request food at school, but thats it. And its usually high enough quality that kids want seconds...

oh yeah it is a thing
its just varies from school to school

Ooc. Its pretty much state decreed here...
I mean in the even in the poorest parts of the country where kids often only get adequate food at school, they always have it provided.

yeah well stuff's goin on with the schools over here...
school i was in got privatized in my last year there so a lot of shit got changed

"Seriously dont mention it. Its really nothing."

Asim: Regardless....I'm not sure what I can do personally, but I think Nicole can help you with your drones. I can keep a watch out for those...kroot.

"thanks. So...i'm guessing you want to know about my kind"

Asim: That would help.

"Well, first of all I should explain. we work on a...caste system. and before you ask, yes you're born into your caste, but the reason for that is that each caste is a....well for lack of a better word, subspecies of the tau race. each caste is biologically different from the others"

Asim: How...is that possible? I'm not a geneticist, but even I know that there would at least be variations amongst any species, but entire sub-species?

"because our species got...separated for a very long time, i dont know exactly how long, each group in very different environments"

Asim: I see....Please, go on.

"Anyway. I'm earth caste, the builders, technitians and such. the others are air caste, our navy and pilots, water caste, our diplomats, the fire caste our military, and the ethereal caste our rulers"

Asim: "Ethereal"? Doesn't exactly mesh with the elements thing you've got going there.

"they're...different"

Asim: How?

he explains the ethereals, breifly

Asim: That...hm...

"hm?"

Asim: Oh. Nothing. Just not sure what to make of that.

"Alright. anyway *gives brief rundown on the tau empire*"

Asim: Oh...I can tell you Retrovoso would hate your species.

"who?"

Asim: A megacorp. Specifically, the people who run the world I'm from.

"ah"

Asim: Yeah. Big time capitalists. Not surprising. The Consortium is a trade alliance.

"fair enough"

Asim: Surprised you're okay with that thought. From what you told me your species...has problems with such ideas.

"I'm not exactly an ordinary tau"

Asim: Well....what makes you so different? No offense. Not like I've meet many tau.

"guess I just think different. there's a reason i'm here working on my drones and not out manufacturing tanks and battlesuits for the fire caste"

Asim: Oh....Um...Well then...I think Nicole can help you with your drones. Don't really know how to help you with them myself.
