《Machinarium》Chapter 10: [Scouting]
Advertisement
'ISAP, Open construct creator, load Scout blueprint'
The blue window opened and the scout blueprint loaded onto it.
'Hmm. I need this scout to be fast, but not strong.'
'Isap, Open the part creator screen!'
Another blue screen beside the construct screen opened up.
'Hmm. I need speed and agility. How would I do it?'
After minutes of thinking, I finally came up with an idea
I take the leg parts and start moving around It's joints to make animal-like legs.
'ISAP, save the animal legs as "scout legs 01"'
[Part saved as Scout legs 01]
Then, I turn back to the construct creator screen and replace the scout's legs with the new animatistic legs, and remove the weapons.
'ISAP, save this blueprint as "Recon drone 1"'
[Saved as "Recon drone 1"]
Finally, I press the summon button, and the dirt begins to shake violently as the construct pulls itself out of the ground.
'Recon drone, Go! Look for the orc clan base!'
"Acknowledged." It says, as it jumps into the trees and out of sight in under a minute.
'Alright, time to wait.'
'Carry me back home for now. It's faster.'
Alpha picks me up and hold me in his hands, and both began to walk.
'I wonder if humans live in this world? If so, then I don't want to meet them.'
Minutes turn to hours as we still walk.
'Damn, How far did we walk anyway?'
[Approximately 10 km, or 6.21 miles.]
The trees to the right of us begin to shake in a zig-zag line, and leaves begin to fall off. Suddenly, dirt gets kicked up as the recon construct lands in front of us.
"Leader, I have found the orc tribe. It seems as if they are getting ready to create a hunting party.", The recon drone says.

'ISAP, WHY IS THE RECON DRONE SO FAST? ISNT IT MADE OF LEVEL 1 PARTS?'
[Yes, it is in fact, made with level 1 parts. It is fast because its body is strong enough to handle it. Except it's legs break down extremely fast, so it must go inactive for hours to regenerate them.]
"Why does everything I make always either not work or breaks immediately!"
'Wait, did I say that out loud?
[Yes, Yes you did.]
'FUCK. NOW EVERYTHING KNOWS WHERE I AM!'
'Alright, New plan, Alpha and other sword drone, return to base.'
'Recon drone, bring me back to base as fast as possible. I have some matters to attend to.'
The recon drone takes me from alpha's hands and within a second we are gone.
Breezing past the trees, we soon make it back home.
The recon construct puts me down and begins to limp inside.
Once inside, its legs break in half and crumble into lumps of dirt, and it soon deactivates.
'So, I'm guessing you broke most of your legs?'
[You forced it to go as fast as possible. It will need 4 hours of inactivity to be functional again.]

King Eden
Two hundred years have passed and the Earth belongs to the corrupt. Society is reduced to clandestine tribes of survivors who indulge in warfare, battling one another over desolate wastelands. They are the Ancients, and Eden is their Lord. Legends cannot capture her skill as a warrior, but these stories of her ruthless past secure her title as King. A centuries-old war ravages her homeland. The tribes must unite against a force that outweighs the unnatural resilience of Earth's survivors. Mars: a utopia of refugees who outlasted the apocalypse. They spent the nuclear winter pushing the boundaries of military technology, sacrificing their resources to satisfy their greed. Now the Martian Colonies are unsustainable. Their Minister vows to reclaim the Earth for his people's sake--and he will stop at nothing to bring King Eden's reign to an end. When the Martians capture her heir to the throne, King abandons her homeland to regain the one thing that makes her human. This faces King with a savage choice: surrender to Mars in exchange for her son and the enslavement of her people, or challenge the Minister's army of metal titans and nightmarish experiments. Failure is inevitable, victory promises sacrifice. But King is no stranger to an impossible fight. After all, she is the Lord of Ancients, and power is indeed in the hands of the bloodthirsty.

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
