[b]It took a little longer for the smaller shuttle's doors to slide open. Whatever was inside it was taking longer to prepare. Around ten minutes later, the doors slid open smoothly, making a click as they opened. Another robot stepped out from the shuttle, and this one was drastically different from the hulking one before them. This one was slim, humanlike. Almost like it was built for a more sneaky approach to things. It had the same color pattern as the first robot, but didn't have the same plating. This one only had the titanium, the lightest of the materials. It had a glowing, red power cord that was in what appeared to be its chest.[/b]
"So this is Tatakai, huh?"

[i]"DIRECTIVE COMPLETE! CERES - AWAKE.[/i] [i]AFFIRMATIVE. INHABITANTS: VARY. MOST FOUND: HUMANS. PRESENCE: UNKNOWN. SUGGESTION: MOVE INTO TARGET LOCATION."[/i] [b]As the feminine robot found herself out of the pod, Jupiter then leaned down to face her, beginning to inspect her fit shy damage taken, in the case that she took any damage. After scanning her chassis and such, the robot straightened his massive body out, before looking straight towards where Dojoville would have been.[/b] [i]"REQUESTING PERMISSION TO BEGIN MISSION."[/i]
-
"Permission granted. Do not shoot, I repeat, do not fire until fired upon or other orders are specified, alright big bro?" [b]She stepped off her shuttle, and ran some diagnostics. All systems nominal. As expected, of course. She'd gotten repairs done to her before she'd left the homeworld, and she got the best mechanic to do it. She walked beside him.[/b]
-
[i]"AFFIRMATIVE!"[/i] [b]Jupiter was both highly pleased about the condition of Ceres and that she allowed him to venture forwards. His primary objective was to defend her at all costs, of course. To Jupiter, Ceres was a leader.[/b] [b]The metallic giant began lumbering towards Dojoville, his massive feet causing shatters and cracks within the earth that he stomped upon. [/b]
-
[b]Ceres walked bedside him, seemingly unfazed by the giant robot and the cracks in the earth he was making. She scanned him as they walked, her scanner smaller, and less effective as Jupiter's but it was still able to tell he was running at full capacity. She was glad, on one hand she wouldn't have to preform any maintenance on him, and on the other he was her brother. Despite them both technically not being alive, she still feared for his safety every time he charged into battle. One day he might not survive that plasma blast, or that tank shell to the chassis. He footsteps were literally dead silent, the dampeners built in her feet doing their job well.[/b]

[b]Timeskip![/b] [b]Some time later, both of the robotic beings found themselves at the bristling entrance of Dojoville, where civilians were already turning their eyes towards the two. While most civilians kept going, some seemed surprised, almost welcoming, of the two. Jupiter had already begun his scans, due to the bright red light that engulfed each and every civilian that came into his sight. Jupiter had a thing for following protocol and scanning literally everything that seemed in interest to him.[/b]
-
[b]Ceres was also doing her bare-bones scans, only telling her if they packed any weapons and what species they were. Many were just humans, but the occasional alien crossed their path. Ceres only ran scans on people that stopped to look at them, much less of a stickler for the rules than Jupiter. Kind of ironic, considering she was technically the commanding officer for their long-term mission on Tatakai. Ceres occasionally checked over on Jupiter, no scans, relying on her optical sensors to tell her if Jupiter was a steaming pile of slag yet. They were reliable most of the time, discounting that one time on the moon... Bad things happened that day, but that was probably nothing compared to what Jupiter had seen. He was the frontline fighter, after all. She was more of a scout. As they walked through, Ceres saw a pet shop. This had many new types of fauna. It was necessary for them to scan. That, and she really wanted to look at the four-legged animals with the fur.[/b] "Jupiter. Directive change. We just gotta go in that shop! Do you see all the little animals in there? I know you'll have a hay day with your scanning, and everything in there looks so cute!"

*Quincy in his feral form cautiously approaches the smaller robot*
-
[b]Ceres crouches down, putting her hands on her knees. Whatever this thing was.... It was adorable! If she had a mouth, she'd probably smile. Her eyes certainly showed her happiness.[/b] "Hi there little guy! You're a part of the Tatakai wildlife, aren't you?"
-
*Quincy smiles and wags his tail*
-
"Awww... That's adorable! I wonder what you're called, little fella... I guess I could ask some of the locals..."
-
*Quincy sits up on his haunches, his forepaws huddled against his chest. he wonders if he should talk just yet..*
-
[b]She squeals in delight. Whatever this thing was, it was absolutely positively adorable! It was the cutest thing she'd ever seen! She really did wonder if there was more to the thing, though. It couldn't just be some random animal, could it?[/b]
-
*She then notices a slight glow to Quincy's silver/cyan eyes. Something about them hinted he could think.. and possibly.. talk?*
-
[b]Her co-logic processor slammed into overdrive, diverting most powers to reasoning systems. It was indeed possible... She'd seen weirder things. Wasn't too far if a stretch...[/b] "Hey, little guy? Can you... Talk?"
-
*Quincy giggled* How'd you know? *his left ear flops down over his face as the other sticks out to the side*
-
[b]She squeals in delight again. The little war thing was just so cute! And he could talk! This keeps getting better and better![/b] "So you can talk! I was just guessing!"
-
*i stand on all fours* Im Quincy Frost, what's your name?
-
"I'm C-3R35, but call me Ceres."
-
okie dokie, Ceres. So, why're you here?
-
"I'm scouting for the homeworld. We need to know if Tatakai is a threat to us."
-
I doubt that the Dojo is a threat. There are various groups on the planet that stir up trouble though... the Dojo usually puts them down before they get off-planet though.
-
"Well, I can't just take your word for it. I need to see for myself. Homeworld orders."
-
Makes total sense. After all, im just a tiny arctic fox, what do i know about the complexity of how this weird world works?
-
"It's not just this world, little buddy. It's around four. Three of ours, one of yours. I'm about to make my trek down to the Dojo with my brother over there." [b]She points with her thumb over at the metal behemoth standing behind them.[/b]
-
*i look over at him* He's huge. cool.
