HORRENDOUS timing on my part, but I think that the three new android siblings have been held away for far too long! So, here comes an introduction to Burst, Sync, and Pipette!

All of them shown off below the cut:

Prototype X, Flight Type, Burst! By far the largest of the Prototypes, Burst is Ovocon’s first attempt at a flight-capable, pegasus-adjacent android. She’s extremely loyal and by-the-book, preferring to take orders than give them. Despite a strict adherence to protocol, Burst is hotheaded and often prone to outbursts. She has two downsized Burst class engines on her sides, which can fold away like the wings on a pegasus. Due to the immense power draw, she has double the amount of organs, lending to her towering size. Were she to stand side-by-side with Celestia herself, Burst would be a smidge taller (not counting the horn)!

Prototype XI, Magic Type, Sync! Sync is a tall and lanky unicorn model, featuring a prominent storage crystal in their chest. Their unusual looks are due to the collaborative effort between Ovocon Labs and MechaniCast Research, a horn-focused prosthetics company. A bit of a pessimist, Sync is anxious and jittery. This anxiety has made the learning of spells a slow process, and they are only barely comfortable with the use of basic telekinesis. When afraid, the magic storage has a tendency to malfunction, leading to potentially violent discharges. Sync is most comfortable studying and organizing data and research results!

Prototype XII, Chemical Type, Pipette! The newest android to the lab, Pipette was purpose-built as a laboratory aid. Her primary feature is a downsized, internal OL-58 Chemico unit, which allows her to produce medium quantities of almost any substance near-instantly. Solids, liquids, gasses, and if given proper storage devices, a little of everything in between. Due to the large amount of space required to have such a device be internal, Pipette is far more artificial than the other androids within Stage 2 of the program. She’s pleasant to speak with and always happy to assist! Pipette has a solid grasp of the Chemico, and vast knowledge of chemical compounds, their makeup, and their properties.

Five: Fascinating anatomy. Upon our visit, do not hesitate to direct us to more resources. As for questions - you state that Veriam Marks appear based upon the usage of a particular type of magic. Could one possibly lose their Veriam Mark, or even change it, were they to focus their efforts upon something else?

Novi sent by @ask-the-prototypes

My sister actually has to do extra magic training to make sure her marks don't change too drastically. Public appearance, you know?

Howdy!

I’m Nuke, the mod of both @ask-the-prototypes and @caballo-bay-missives!

I’ve been actually making art again and I figured it was about time I made myself a little area for art that doesn’t quite fit these other places. Here’s hoping starting this up and getting sketches posted will move me to start answering asks for The Prototypes! (finally. again.)

I’m also working on a few written things, a Destiny 2 crossover fic, “Walls Don’t Usually Move”, and a collection of short stories based around the Caballo Bay group of OCs. I’ll try and remember to update this lil info page once I have links for them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Is there any different art medium you want to try? Say oil painting or sculpting? (Or pixel art? wink wink)

oh, i do a bunch of different mediums! i HAVE tried sculpting before, actually, and it was pretty hard. especially since air-dry clay isn't too friendly. i have done pixel art before as well! it's just been a while, you know? i'm too scared of oil to do oil painting lol. i've done acrylic, tho, and am currently in a painting class! it's amazing and i love it. i've also done charcoal before.

7-A: Any particular thoughts on the "ghost in the machine" concept? We don't count, because we were made this way! But... sometimes the equipment around the lab and test sites seem to have minds of their own

Shutter Ghost: Oh, I’d believe it! Objects and ponies get possessed all the time - why not machines? Like my camera, for example.
