《Machinarium》Chapter 5: [Setting up]
Advertisement
"ISAP, you sound more human than when I first started talking to you, Why is that?"
[Well, I am a autonomous assistant, and in order to assist you better, I was created to get a personality as time goes on.]
"Huh, nice. Wouldn't have ever thought that was possible."
"Is my creation ability limited to just constructs and automated systems, or can it be used to create buildings?"
[At this level, it only has the ability to create constructs and semi-automated systems. In order to build non-construct related things, you have to order your constructs to do it for you.]
"How do I even level up anyway?"
[You level up by having living things die in your dungeon, or by having dead things dropped into your dungeon. When they are dropped, you have the option to absorb them into your dungeon.
Once absorbed, all your constructs will regenerate faster for a hour and you will gain the experience accordingly.]
"What should I call my first construct?"
[I would suggest: "Alpha", Due to the fact that it was the first construct you have created.]
"Hm, Alright, You, Construct #1, are now named Alpha!"
Alpha replied: [Yes,leader. This unit is now designated as "Alpha"]
"By the way ISAP, I have noticed their eyes changing color. Why is this?"
[The color of the construct's eyes show what state they are in. Blue is idle, Yellow is when a task is given, but not completed, and red is when an enemy appears or they begin their task.]
"Ok, then."
"Alpha, Follow me"
[Yes leader.] alpha replies
I start to roll out of my cave and onto the dirt.
Around me, there is a large forest with very tall grass blocking most of my view.

"I hope there arent any giant monsters around here."
[Did you have to jinx it?]
"Yes, ISAP, I did have to jinx it."
Suddenly, I hear a loud rustling in the bushes, and a large humanoid boar looking thing jumps out and points their spear at me.
"Hey ISAP, can I even talk?"
[Yes, just try talking like you normally can. you have a built-in translator function.]
"Uh, hello? I dont know if you can hear me, but please put that spear away! (Even though I doubt a stone could pierce my armor)"
The boar humanoid jumps back and yells "Aah, it can speak!"
"Ah, im guessing you havent seen anything even remotely close to me before?"
The boar thing says "What even are you? Are you a demon? a devil? Some devious contraption?"
"I dont know. Why would I even know?"
The boar guy yells "WHY DONT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?"
"Because, I am the "First" member of this entire species, and I was born a day ago."
The boar guy responds: "What is that thing behind you?"
"Ah, that. I made it. No questions asked."
The boar guy says: "Ah, that makes sense- WAIT, How did YOU make it? YOU HAVE NO LIMBS!"
"Magic. Anyways, why did you try to attack me."
The boar thing responds: "Because, I thought you were a demon trying to steal my soul!"
"Ah yes, the graceful act of trying to murder anything you dont know. Classic."
"I would prefer you go back to where you live and not attack me again."
The boar guy asks "Can I stay with you? I was just exiled from my clan for being too soft."
"Ugh. Fine. But you will have to hunt food for yourself."
