Steel Waste Chapter 296
Advertisement
Afton raises a brow, feeling as if he was being hit on by the Light switch... It didn't feel right, not only because it was literally a machine, but also because her ex-boyfriend Jefferson was literally watching this behind him... You know what they say, bro's before Light switches. "Er, I'm willing to research topics with you, but anything more than that is a no-go."
"Oh?... Well that's fine."
"Ah, right... Do you have a name I can call you? It's a bit awkward calling you 'Light switch'."
"Not that I am aware of, would you give me a name?" she asks sweetly.
Afton shrugs, "Er, sure... How about... Lumina?"
"Ah, as in Lumen, which means 'light' in Latin? That is acceptable." she says, but Afton had just randomly picked a name, not expecting it to suit her so well.
"Right... Well, I'd appreciate if you kept the Smart light on... I'll leave you and Jefferson to work out your problems now... Try and keep the racket down though." he says, walking into the main room where Alfred is, already hearing the two personalities arguing behind him.
"I see you've reactivated yet another personality, sir. I would have recommended you wait until other more reasonable personalities were active before turning on both of those jaded lovers, but it is rather too late for that now."
"Hm, my bad... Are you going to have an aneurysm if I activate the other Light switch?" he asks, semi-sarcastically.
"No sir, I am entirely robotic and cannot have aneurysms... However, I fear my processors may self destruct if you reactivate the other Light switch without any of the other mediating personalities. It will already be hard enough listening to their petty squabbling."
"I'll keep that in mind, Alfred. Anyway, I'll be heading down to the Think Tank, let me know if anything comes up."

"I'll aspire to do that, sir."
Afton nods and heads downstairs to the Think Tank, entering the dome and glancing at the scientists who were currently milling around conducting experiments. He walks over to Dr. 8 and shows the box to him, "I was forced to use it earlier, think Mobius will notice it?" he asks.
"*Mhmm, perhaps? It depends on various things. Do you think he was distracted at the time of use?*" 8 asks.
Afton thinks back and shakes his head, "No... I did destroy a couple hundred Robo-Scorpion though, maybe that'll draw his attention for now?"
Dr. 8 shakes his chassis, "*No, Mobius is not a fool, if something is capable of interfering with his Robo-Scorpions so severely, he'd quickly attempt to fix it. It would be fairly easy to fix as well, if he simply stopped communicating with his creations over the radio, we'd be hard-pressed to find another weakness.*"
Afton shrugs, "Well, anyway, thanks for your help. If you need anything just let me know." he says, walking away as 8 waves him off with a manipulator.
Afton starts walking up to where Klein is, the robot still wearing the large ear muffs, despite the fact Jefferson had stopped playing music many hours ago. "Klein?" he asks, obviously not getting a reaction due to the scientists ear muffs... He reaches up and taps Klein on the back, causing the scientist to jolt in surprise and rapidly spin round, a laser cannon sprouting from the back of his robotic body and pointing directly at Afton.
"AH! LOBOTOMITE!? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? WAS THAT AN ATTEMPT TO... KILL ME!?"
...
Afton taps his ears non-comitally, causing Klein to realise he was still wearing the ear muffs... He throws them off with a manipulator while still pointing the cannon at Afton. "EXPLAIN!"

"Have you forgotten? I literally cannot attempt to harm you due to the pacification field..."
...
"OH!... OF COURSE I KNEW THAT!.... WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he quickly asks after stowing away the laser cannon.
"I was making sure you received the schematic of the stealth suit. So... Did you.?"
"AH YES, WE RECEIVED IT THE MOMENT YOU LEFT THE X-13 FACILITY... I SEE YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING THE PHYSICAL ONE AS WELL. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO YOUR TERMS! SUCH TECHNOLOGY IS TOO MUCH FOR A SIMPLY BRAINLESS TOOL SUCH AS YOURSELF!" Klein complains, but makes no move to try and take the stealth suit from him.
"Yeah, well, the armour will help in gathering the last piece of technology, so stop your bitching." Afton says. "Speaking of that, do you have any advice on how best to approach X-8?"
"I AM NO A TOUR GUIDE, I AM THE HEAD RESEARCHER! IF YOU WANT TO FLAP YOUR ORIFICE THEN GO TALK TO DALA OR BOROUS, THE LATTER MIGHT ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE X-8 FACILITY." he states, turning around and beginning to ignore Afton.
"Alright. I guess..." he mutters as he begins walking over to Dr. Borous, who, funnily enough, he hadn't actually properly spoken to yet.
Before Afton is even able to say anything, Borous was already speaking, "The LOBOTOMITE animal before me! You may be able to hide it, but I KNOW you are one of those animals or communists... Communist ANIMAL, perhaps!? Be WARNED! Attempt to 'propaganda me, and I will SHRIEK as a frightened babe, calling all my loyal Cyberdogs to my aid. Do you comprehend, commie animal?"
Afton raises a brow at this rather hostile greeting, he could already feel twinges in his head due to the pacification field... "Dr. Borous, I assure you I am not a communist. In fact, I'll prove it to you, by saying things that a communist would never dare utter... " Afton looks around conspiratorily, and Borous leans in as if a great secret was about to be told, "Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong can all eat fat ghoul dicks... Individual rights trump the collective. And the greater good means nothing." he states.
Borous slowly backs away, "You... I see I was MISTAKEN! You are no communist ANIMAL... Merely just a regular ANIMAL!"
Afton shrugs at that, "I can't really dispute that, human are animals after all. Even you Borous, your human brain makes you at least part-animal."
