Piercing into the sky and higher
WHO: White Knight, OPEN
WHAT: Arrival, exploration. White's getting a lay of the land and you might see him in the area.
WHERE: Prima's sector, starting at the temple and moving outward toward Trion's sector.
WHEN: Afternoon/evening of Feb 9
WARNINGS: tl;dr
---
The first thing White Knight did was check the network.
He didn't post on it. Not yet. After all, if he could monitor its activity, it was more than likely someone else would be, too. No need to give away his position and status so quickly when his hypothetical kidnapper might be watching. For now, he only browsed, hoping to get a feel for the other refugees.
It seemed Six and Rex made it here, too. Some time ago. White's brow tightened as he listened to the archived conversation. Not even five minutes in, and Rex was getting friendly with the locals. Who knows what kind of damage the kid's already caused?
...Not as much as those monster centipedes, from the looks of it. White clicked through the network further. Seems they came in multiple sizes; One for every size... robot that came through these parts. He analyzed what little footage there was on the network, taking note of any attack patterns or potential weak spots. A tactical retreat would probably be his best bet should he encounter one any time soon; He had nothing at stake here save for the two team mates he needed to track down and what little human population there was among the refugees.
No, right now it was best to stay on the defensive until he could get settled with a base of operations. The shelter provided for him within Prima's temple wouldn't do. Though the location was spacious and easily defensible, it left him at the mercy of those in charge, and he couldn't guarantee their continued kindness... or even their competency.
Resources were the top priority. He'd need to stake a claim somewhere humans could sustain themselves, if such a place existed on a planet made for robots. When he found the others, once food, water and supplies were secure, they'd build up adequate, defendable living quarters. From there, they could pool information and decide on a course of action until a way home could be found.
White Knight clipped the communicator to his belt as he stepped out of the temple and gazed down the mountain to the rest of the Haven below. A planet for giant, mechanical beings -- that was the most unsettling thing of all. White had been all over the planet back home, braving societies and wilderness of every kind to get his jobs done before being seated at the head of Providence. Humans were predictable. Were he looking at a human city, he could make a rough guess of the layout of the city; Food stores, places of worship, centers of commerce...
Meanwhile, a society of alien robots was just that -- alien. Who knew how closely their society paralled humanity. If at all. If he was going to be stuck here for God knows how long, he was going to have to do some major recon work -- he and Six, and Rex. Maybe the kid's outgoing nature would be useful after all, provided he could keep his giant hands -- and his nanites -- to himself.
As Knight began to make his way down the mountain that made up Prima's sector, he scanned the landscape. There was a more earthen-looking area in the distance, illuminated by the light from the temple. It looked more or less like the more organic of locations here. Seemed as good of a place as any to start. He moved at a steady pace, inspecting and scrutinizing everything in his path. In a place more foreign than he'd ever experienced before, he couldn't afford to miss any details.
