[ Although the other day was far from as traumatic as the last inmate influx, it left Reid a little pensive. Made him think of extreme aggressors, of 50 000 chess games, of expecting different outcomes in a game that would only end with check mate, but unlike a few years ago this is not a depressive thought. Instead, it makes him crave interaction and so he hits up the network. ]

Hey, guys. I was wondering... there's quite a few of us here that know how to play chess. How would you feel about an impromptu tournament? Nothing fancy, just... I don't know, anyone who's interested could drop by the library and we'll set up a few games. Bring a board, if you got one.

[ A bit of an awkward smile and then he cuts the feed. ]

(( OOC: MINGLE-STYLE! Email notifs are off, so thread to your hearts content! Reid will have a video response thread here and an action response thread here for your Reid-y needs! ))

	It's a haro. This one's name is Frederick. They are robots from my world with an artificial intelligence. They mainly help with repairs, but he's been working on chess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never played against a robot before. It might make an interesting challenge. [At this point he's just rolling with your weird, Marina.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lyle's been rolling with it for months so he's used to this] Great! [Lyle catches Frederick so he can set him on the table across from Lelouch. Frederick raises his ear flaps to lower his hands as Lyle sits and sets up Frederick's chess pieces] I'm Lyle by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lelouch. [He watches the robot get settled and the other pieces prepared.] Whenever you're ready, Frederick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And then Frederick will make the opening move, looking back up at Lelouch for the next move. Frederick is all serious now] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He decides that he's going to play more aggressively than usual, though there's not much in a first move to show that.] Is he yours from home? [He doesn't really seem the type to make them...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frederick scans the board and then moves his next piece] The type of robot is from my world, but he's actually probably one of the few true "natives" of Marina. My brother made him when he was still here so he's only known these places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems cruel to bring something moderately intelligent into the world in a prison. [he moves immediately, like he's already thinking way ahead] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Frederick does take longer to think, but its only a few moments before he moves again] Perhaps. That's why I have been teaching him chess as a way to pass the time. Good companion also. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tap tap goes the piece.] What else are they capable of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just about anything if you train them. Their original purpose on my world was repairs. This one has standing permission to help some of the bots here doing repairs. There are also three from my world that are used to help pilot mobile suits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-08-31 02:29 am UTC (link)
	In what way do they help pilot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-09-01 09:27 am UTC (link)
	Three different mobile suits have a console that the haro can sit in and connect directly to it. They are then a second pilot, able to tell the mobile suit anything. Comes in handy for mobiles suits that are snipers. (Reply to this) (Parent)
