You know how the time passes when you are having fun... and when you actually have the fucking concept of time
"Why don't you lower that SARCASM a bit or increase your FOCUS"
Why don't you bite my nice and shining...
"Nothing?"
¬_¬
"You were trying to connect to something, why don't you keep at it and increase your PATIENCE"
Fine
.................................o.
Wait, I felt something.
"?"
.......o
There
"Let me ....o.. well I had my doubts that you would be able to actually do it, but you managed to do it"
And now?
"Now you connect to it"
...
"Yeah, not trying to be unhelpful but never had to do something like that. You should however use the concept of BODY and try to apply it to that instead of just sensing what is and what isn't a workable body"
Soooo
......o....o...o...o...o....O...O..oOo...oOO0000OOO00000

"Yeah, that is a body all right, that rush of information is you getting used however don't pull too much, analyze it first"
HOW!!!
"Use your SENSES concept and lower the connection from BODY"

Fffhhhhhhhhh good. I feel the body, is't organic and it feels slimy
"Slimy? Do you want to have slimy body? If you push your connection further you will be tied to it"
Hmmmm but I haven't really connected to anything else and maybe life a slime would not be so bad
"It can also be a snail or a slug"

Oops, the connection was cut, so sad.
- Time later -
This one feels strong, big, tall... a tree maybe?
"Put your SENSE in and check if you can sense anything"
Yeah I can... can SENSES malfunction?
"Nope, either it has no way to sense or the organs used for that were broken"
Wait I feel something, like warmth and ... water? It feels like thousands of different inputs at the same time.
"A coral maybe, you could be interacting with the whole colony"
Yeah, hard pass, too boring and stationary
- MORE time later -
"You know, if you keep rejecting everything the System may reset before you have a body"
But it was a whale, why would anyone reincarnate as a whale
"The bugs were out due to icky factor, the spider because you hate spiders, the snail or slug was out too, the coral was boring, the strange bird too however I did agree with that one because if you don't have functioning physics you can't really fly and would be a poorly walking chicken"
I feel like the next one is going to be a lucky one
- EVEN MORE time later -
Didn't you said that the entire physics layer was out?
"Technically it crashed however the crash only seems to affect part of it. Seems it caused a full disconnect and while lots were corrupted or garbled the rest seems fine"
Yeah, well this body is not fine, time has not passed and have no idea what type of life form it is but it is dripping from many holes so I'm guessing it is dying.
"Yikes, there have been several like those bodies around here, wherever the here is"
Yeah this moving without really moving and with no references is hard but I'll keep looking
- MUCH MORE time later -
Hey this one seems metallic but complete and more or less anthropomorphic
"Good, however be careful if you bind to it and it dies you may die with it and I would need to eat some of your concepts and find a new power source"
WHAT!!!!!
"CALM, remember always be calm"
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
I can die from binding?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE
ALSO YOU WOULD EAT ME?
"Well yeah, you did die partially before and I managed to restart you by tricking your Core that your body signal was just disconnected.
Now though, once you fully connect to a body then you would be completely working and if something happens to your new body then your Core will stop again but this time without an error state sooo, I will not be able to fix you"
Thanks, excellent moment to actually let me know.
Also the body seems to be ok.
"Now that you have BODY and SENSES you should also use CONTROL and feel how to control it. Because it is mechanical it should be some sort of robot. Remember slowly and calm, I don't want you to die. It will take a lot to find another workable source for me"
Sure, as long as it helps you.
The body is a robot, it feels powered, it has a strange contraption in the chest that is calling me
"Keep away for now, that is an AI Core. If you connect fully to it you would be bound and your conciousness will move to that body. See if you can control it by hijacking the other parts"
This cable here does something, this one too does something, that one also does something else
"Real helpful"
Hey why don't you do this? Aren't you a help module?
Couldn't you help me control this body to make sure that I don't die if I bind myself to a faulty one
"That... is a very good suggestion. Have to be honest I wasn't sure you were this bright. Did you increase your INTELLIGENCE or PROCESSING?"
Was that a possibility AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?
"Hmm yeah, I can actually parse your connection and even use it to connect to the body. Give me a few minutes"
( ﾟДﾟ)＜!! HEY DON'T IGNORE ME, WHY DIDN't YOU TOLD ME I COULD INCREASE MY INTELLIGENCE OR MY PROCESSING OR WHATEVER
( ﾟДﾟ)＜!! HEY ANSWER ME
( ﾟДﾟ)＜!! HEY LISTEN
