"Perfectly laid plans"
KLBR S1202 placed her hand flat on the desk as she leaned forward, trying and failing to impose a presence that demanded respect onto ALDR S1201. She glared as she spoke. “Administrator this action is blatantly foolish.”
He flicked the end of his pen to get the ink running as he moved to write. She could hear his next sentence as he formed it meticulously in his mind, another reason Adlers were so easy to predict. [In all honesty she's lucky I don't make a decommission order for that one Geier after recent findings.]
The Kolibri spoke before Adler’s thoughts could move his tongue. “I understand your current concern for Geier 05’s degradation, but it's such a new model, and highly expensive. It would be more efficient to maintain a watch on it. Imagine how much information the nation would be able to gain on the degradation of such a replika. You gain favor, we save marks, and all it costs is a bump up in Kolibri active hours which we've established is fine by our cadre.”
Read him like a book, she could feel a tinge of satisfaction pop up in his subconscious when she mentioned him gaining favor. The much shorter model capitalized on this, pouncing for the throat. “The commander would certainly appreciate such research to assist the nation's interests.”
That did the trick.
|-|
A few minutes later KLBR S1202 “Viola” waltzed out of the administrator's office with a set of papers in hand and a smile on her face. She sang to her cadre across the facility, her voice travelling silently to their shared minds. [Ladies~, we have a go. Project Copper is prepped and we have approval.]
She heard a snicker, a slightly warbled signal like a staccato pluck of a deep and weighty instrument. [Excited already Viola? Don't get ahead of yourself, there's no guarantee we'll get to have any real fun with her.] KLBR S1204 “Bass” once again trying to act as the voice of reason, and another instrument chimed in to take the concern a step further.
[Are you guys sure this is a good idea? If Null talks, the commander might hear and if she looks into it…] Her harmony was gentle and relaxing despite her worries. KLBR S1203 “Harp” was always a worrier after all. A fourth signal conflicted her though, finally completing the spectrum of reason they shared in their song.
[C'mon girls, live a little. I've got Copper right where I want her,] KLBR S1201 “Lute” said, nudging the rest to live a little as always, [just swing by our dorm girls. I'll work my magic and get her over there.]
After hearing a series of acknowledgements, nervous or otherwise, Lute hummed to herself as she stood facing a door. While waiting outside the showers, she glanced down to a clipboard. It was mostly just a checklist of work to be done to set up what was already in motion, but she reread it anyway to satiate her nerves.
She didn't get far in thought before the door opened, a freshly cleaned up Geier stood in the frame, slowly looking down to face Lute directly. It was hard for the Kolibri to contain a smile, she was always the excitable one after all, though as the woman opened her mouth to speak, Lute’s eyes traced her face carefully.
“An unexpected surprise.” Copper's voice was a bit low, husky as ever. “Our check in isn't scheduled for another hour, has something happened?” She spoke slowly with a calculated cadence, making her head only more enticing to get into. Why was this woman so hard to read?
Lute nodded, turning on point and starting forward, waving the Geier unit along behind her. “Walk and talk, I'll fill you in.” She kept her intent under wraps as Kolibris always did. You never knew whether or not she was leading you to a promotion or a decommission.
Copper as she was told, ever the obedient as each of her steps were followed by the shorter replika in front of her taking a stride and a half. The Geier was careful with her steps, easing onto every step for no reason other than to keep each tack of a hoof against the metal floors quiet enough to talk over. “I'm walking. When does the talking start.”
Shooting a charged glare back for a moment that was swiftly caught by the module implanted on Copper's temporal shell, Lute sighed. “How about you stop being a smart ass first, I'll tell you when I feel like it, now quiet.”
A few steps of silence passed before an olive branch was offered by the Kolibri. “You're being placed on watch. You'll be given more frequent checks and spend time being monitored by the Kolibri cadre.”
Words were caught in the back of Copper's throat, she had her objections, but all she could think about for a few moments was that last little bit. “Time being monitored? Is that why you're walking me to your dorm?” She couldn't see Lute's face, but she could tell she touched a nerve.
The two stopped at a door labeled with a hummingbird design painted onto it. Lute let out a long sigh before turning around to face Copper. Her face was just a little flushed, but she kept her cool as she spoke. She said two things, one out loud, the other sung to her internal orchestra. “We need to ensure your functionality, that means a total check up. We need to ensure that the degradation we saw last week isn't negatively affecting you.”
[Get her.]
It was like Cooper assessed everyone's movement a split second before it happened. First, the door opened, and Bass came running through it at full speed. Her intent was to dive into the Geier’s left leg and knock her off balance but her plan was denied by Copper simply lifting her leg to avoid it. Bass tumbled past into the hallway with a groan.
Simultaneously, Viola and Harp both dropped from a panel on the ceiling, with full intent to land on her shoulders and knock her down to the ground. Harp was immediately caught midair by the throat, and Copper managed to duck Viola, sending that Kolibri down to the metal flooring unceremoniously.
Lastly, Lute tried her hand at getting Copper's other leg, but was stopped in an instant as the Geier brought her still lifted left hoof down into her shoulder, knocking her to the floor before stepping on her chest to keep her pinned. She let out a quiet wheeze as she hit the ground.
Harp squirmed as she was held at Copper's side, her flailing arms eventually grabbing onto the now frustrated replika’s forearm. She pulled down at her arm to try to prevent herself from choking. “I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M-,” she didn't get the last sorry out before being set down gently, leaving her coughing and hacking as she leaned against the wall to catch her breath.
Copper quickly lifted her hoof from Lute's chest, taking a deep breath before looking amongst the cadre of winded and pained women. “Are you all alright? No proper injuries? I apologize for my actions but it felt warranted in the moment.” She would have continued to subdue them if it wasn't for Harp's terrified plea. She honestly felt a small but dulled pang of guilt for making her so afraid.
Bass was the first to finally speak, having gotten the least punishment out of the group. “We apologize, our intent was to subdue you for a surprise inspection, but we underestimated just how effective you are in hand to hand combat.” She cleared her throat, walking over to help Viola to her feet.
There were a quiet few moments of recuperation from the Kolibris and suspicion from Copper as she squinted at the four women. “And you couldn't have simply ordered me to accept an on the spot inspection?”
The truth was far from Bass' rushed explanation, originally, their intent was far less… Acceptable to say out loud. There were quiet glances amongst the group as their song became chaotic, trying to come up with a convenient lie.
A low rumble, rushed and off-putting, the Bass kicked in. [C'mon, someone else, say something smarter cause I've got nothing and I don't wanna get crushed.]
An attempt at a solo, but Lute kept playing the wrong notes in her panic. [I- I don't know. S-something about effectiveness? Harp? Viola?]
Double time now, her pitch was high as Viola screeched into the song. [That's so obviously bullshit, she'll see right through it. Maybe we could convince her it was just training? Harp, please tell me you have something.]
The last instrument didn't play, her place on stage stayed motionless and quiet, but it felt like a pot of boiling water. Harp's face was beet red, her hand slightly grazing her neck as she shuffled from one hoof to the other.
[Harp?]
[Oh no, NOT AGAIN-]
[SHE'S GONNA BLOW!]
The much more reserved and nervous Kolibri's internal feedback loop slingshotted out of her own mind. No longer able to contain her thoughts, the Harp played over the rest of their song and it all became a heavy warm feeling. It was hard to play it off, Viola managed to act as though nothing was wrong, but the sudden burst of suppressed feelings made Lute clutch her chest.
And Bass…
Bass moaned.
Copper looked at the mess in front of her, mostly staring between Harp, who was trying and failing desperately to cover her blushing face whilst keeping her thoughts to herself, and Bass who just audibly let out a moan in front of all of them.
The Geier thought quietly, her eyes drifted between each woman.
One.
By.
One.
She smiled, stepping forward before grabbing Bass' and Harp's chest plate straps before walking to the door, letting it open. Automatically before waltzing in. She glanced behind her at Viola and Lute. “Come with us. Lock the door behind you.”
None of them audibly said anything, but the cadre all sang in harmony now. In unison they reached the crescendo. One note all at once.
Heloo im answering this here cause Bluesky's word limit is bit annoying tbh and more Lore never hurts. I come bearing some Silver doodles and a teaser for next post too :3
Yap below!
SILVERRR. Silver. Our dear Silver. The local Cassanova of S-12.
I try not to play favourites with Ocs but Silver is . Defintely a replika i love making content for . She's just so charming and i actualy think has depth to her. I feel bad a bit that i portray Silver as overly flirty sometimes , yes she does it a lot but there's more to her.
I dont know where to start but ig i can start with the fact Silver is not a malicious type of flirty. She does geniuenly mean every single compliment she says or affection she shows, she does not see any reason to hide her urges and thoughts really. Geiers suffer if they overthink so if she just says immidietly what she thinks she doesnt hurt! Simple! And its true also so its a winwin. This can sometimes lead to some miscomunications though unfortunately. Silver , and any Geier really has a hard time having a traditional relationship really. Their anti bioresonance modules just make it infinitely harder for one to be upkept . And especialy the squad Silver is part of also stick together , they depend on eachother. I wouldn't call it a polycule really but they def are close and just. Understand eachother since they are different from others. They know eachothers pain and innerworkings. (Except Null, Null is bit more conservative)
So Silver being super gay and bringing replikas (and sometimes gestalts) to their dorms is pretty common occurance. All with mutual consent ofc. She is very physical like this due to the fact she just. Likes to feel things really. She likes to. Feel alive. Whenever its pleasure , which is easiest avenue for quick strong brain chemicals.
Or it ends up being pain sometimes unfortunately. No not in the bad way but just. To put it plainly Silver has masochistic tendencies , especially after her fire accident that scars her arm. Pain is in a way. Smth to feel , to experience. It cant be dulled by the damn module so Silver comes to enjoy aspects of it. She wont search it out actively , but just. Wont say no either.
She tends to be a bit sleepy at times as well , not cause she sleeps badly or anything she just. Is pretty chill and laid back. No stress no hurry. Give her a taks and shell get it done , easy peasy reliable squeezy.
Ill give some more development to Silvers relationships one day but for now in my mind she has a tendency to take anyone who wants but has a soft spot for one Ara. When she had the fire accident,where she was mantaining their gas canisters she fucked up and it blew up in her hands, an Ara was the first one to find her and pull her from the rubble. She is a bit shy- okay no not shy just quiet really. Doesnt think Silver can really care for her and have smth "real" between them but slowly Silver gets there i think. It just takes a while and dumb pinning for eachother. Theres also some Eules Silver frequences and visits for fun but also when she has social questions she doesnt understand. Adler has a big fat stupid annoying crush on her but its not romantic crush its like. A hate crush fjfhfjf he hates how laid back she is. Envies it almost.
Some random last rapid funfacts.
Copper is annoyed a lot at Silvers laid back attitude but in the end often gets calmed by her and gets roped into Silvers patrols to relax. Silver hates the taste blueberry for whatever reason no one can understand. She would love to smoke ciggarettes with Stars and tried but doesnt like the taste at all so she sticks to lolipops instead. Has a sweetooth for candy. Loves animals and is pretty good with them. Was once found in a supply closet by accident
Good day! A strange robo person has entered the inbox!
I have a question regarding your spectacularly unique Replikas, The GEIER Units. I'm curious if they sport any other equipment aside from flamethrowers and anti- bioresonance modules. I assume the knife Null has is also standard for all GEIER Units?
Yes it's a vague and odd ask. If there isn't any, that's algoods. Because this is also an opportunity to give out any information about the GEIERs that is yet to be logged here. Do take your time if needed, and thanks!
...Like seriously ANY info about them would be handy right now, they're over here as we speak! I'm telling them there's no flesh here! But they keep SETTING MY GARAGE ON FIRE!!!
Hello strange robo person! Welcome and make yourself at home ! Please don't mind the charred bits on the furniture , I apologize for our residents .
First of all i wanna thank you so much for liking my little blorbos enough to go out and ask me more , it means a lot hhhhh
I'm gonna take this ask about equipment and have some fun with it cause fuck it why not. Let's use the in-game Rule of 6 Signalis uses to limit everyones ownership of stuff soooo humor me and let's give Geiers standard 6 items for their service. These are counted as the things they have on their belt pouches. A small disclaimer though i am not an expert in guns or military stuff. I did some bit of googling but thats about it so take specifics with a grain of salt
1. Okay first of all , a combat knife is standard for all Geiers as you pointed out. I can't really pick one design but in general smth militay like. Reliable and versatile. I often depict Null with her combat knife cause she has a weird affinity to it , just really likes to practice close quarters combat with it. Probably knows lot of tricks and such , its her little "stability" item.
2. A Revolver!!! I decided on giving them a some sort of handgun in case that Flamethrower is not the best answer. I could have picked smth in game like the stubed handrevolver buttt thats boring and im going for smth specific that goes with Geiers. Smth that packs a punch which they can handle pretty easily. I will say they are all trained with rifles as well , the basics at least but dont carry one cause its obviously an overkill.
Now on specific which revolver? I can't decide 100% I picked a few options for fun with the most fitting probably being this Taurus Hunter .357 Mag Revolver. With some tweaks to fit the art style of Signalis i think it could work ! I like the barbs on the barrel and a big modern magnum fits Geiers pretty well
A second option i came across was a Chiappa Rhino .357 Mag which is pretty similair but is my second choice cause it,s. Bit too. Much? I dont know how to describe it, it kinda seems less practical for service. (Yes i know a revolver is already pretty unconventional for military widespread service shush fjjf)
Anddd as a treat! I found some weird 50.cal revolvers , an Umarex or a Lancer defense ltl are what i found ,which, first one appears to be a paintball training gun funily enough. These revolvers are probably not practical at all for general use ,wheeze i mean a .50 cal is fucking insane. But design wise? I kinda dig it for Geiers specialy in like the weird scifi signalis universe .
3. Ammo for the revolver. Bit boring but yeah ingame ammo takes up a slot so euther the .357 Mags or .50cal.
5. A Health item. A bandage , a repair spray is probably standard in case of an emergency.
And 6. A wildcard. This slot could be seen as their Flamethrower , but i prefer to think its for spare space. Food , drink etc anything they need to take.
I wish to yap a lot about Geiers but i feel like i already said quite a bit on this blog. Dont wanna seem like i repeat stuff. But uhh ican.add ig that some Geiers def like to upkeep their guns , similair to Starlings. Null has knives mostly but Kobalt has probably the most in common with Stralings and goes to the shooting range in her free time. They're not better than Stars but they arent slacking either.
Anddd now that i imagined a Geier with a big sexy revolver im gonna go excuse myself because my brain is. Spiraling into the gutters iykwim
I’m absolutely hecking feral for Null and Falke right now. I am gonna explode. Then die. In that order with a 10 minute break between the two . Between Falke and null…
anyway I was wondering (normally) if Null’s Falke is just named Falke. I imagine there’s no real need for names if there’s just the one but it couldn’t stop me from thinking (normally) about her (normally).
Stay frosty!
HHHELOO JAY always happy to see you in my inbox , please stay! Don't ask why I locked the door , don't worry about it :)
Funny coincidence , I kinda realised. I forgor to name Nulls Falke too recently gjgjgj right after I posted the latest art. So seeing your ask is absolutely perfect cause I rummaged through google and books for some names and ideas. And I. Admitedly dont know if i came to a perfect name or not.
I like to think Falkes 99% are adressed as the Commander or Falke in personal situations. But deep inside? They do pick a name. A secret name that they keep in their head for whenever they maybe meet one of their sisters.
Aurum . Latin for Gold.
Thats what I landed on for now. It's not technicaly a name but honestly who cares fjfjfj. I. I like to think Falkes would like to pick smth special. Maybe smth connected to their facility they oversee or a play on their station. And considering S-12 is a waste managment facility first and foremost, insane big heaps of trash being burned every day from all over Leng. I think there's an ironic opportunity naming yourself as Gold among the Trash . Yeah they manage lot of logistics for Leng too and have a uh. Creepy flesh infestation in their basements trying to crawl up. But thats details heh
Speaking of these 2 i have. A very shitty sketch to share
Yap undercut cause its getting too long
I didnt do a good job depicting the events happening here but in a nutshell. Null kinda realised she fancies the Commander when she literally starts to get nosebleeds in showers. I mentioned before that her being a prototype means she is the most liable out of everyone to nosebleeds and headaches when it comes to overthinking some thoughts. Falkes body moving during training sessions , her voice adressing Null. The soft touches when she has to inspect Nulls thoughts during a checkup. It creeps up Nulls spine overtime and it's pure torture. Being pent up and frustrated and agitated purely because you. Physicaly hurt when you get into a state like that. It's scary and has potential to spiral into a full on loop.
She doesn't go absolutely crazy mostly cause of her squad thank god. And sometimes even in a literal sense , helping eachother let of some. Steam ifyouknowwhatimean. But yeah , Null and Aurum have a very big slowburn that never really even gets. Super lovely dovely. They kinda just come to respect eachother and turn it physical at somepoint. And come to care about the other in their own silent ways. But they are still dedicated to their work first and foremost.
Some small info on Aurum I came up so far is that she is best summed up as. Etheral. Really leans into the "Goddess" thing. Not in a way where she thinks better than everyone else , mostly in her behaviour and manners and general disposition. She is above most problems , handling everything calmly and never raising her voice. Half lidded eyes and sphynx like smiles accompanying her everywhere she goes. Appriciates a good fancy dinner and wine as a very rare treat ,a privilige of being the Commander really. (And sometimes Null joins and plays the gentleman dhfhf). Saying all that though she has. A feral side to her that comes out when she finally gets to fight. There's an ache in her teeth that is never satiated since she is just a glorified war weapon. Sitting behind a fucking desk overseeing a literal garbage pile. So experimental testing training sessions with Null are a breath of fresh air and allow her to let loose.
Alright yap over i yaped to much im sorry. Whoever survived reading all of this , here a reward. A freaky ahh Silver licking her revolver
Some sketches and doodles from last few days. Freaky ahhh Geier tongues my beloved. And Blau being Blau. I kinda wanna yap really badly about spicy stuff but dont know how to go about it really lol oh well
