July Adventure: Where the Weeds are Now Growing Free

[lifeaftr_mods]

NEW ISLAND: UMUI

Who: Everyone!
What: Umui appears, and a new adventure begins
When: July 10th and onward
Where: Umui
Warnings: Tag as you go!

'Cause the Dirt is Up to My Eyes
As of July 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Umui.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the C1 square. The thick crops of flowers spring freely across the lush, grassy landscape, clustered in dense knots. The variety behind these growths seems profoundly limited: it is as though each flower has only sprouted around others of its kind, mingling solely at the edges. A large building looms in the corner of the region, a twisting, unfurling mass of piping and a half-crumbled metallic shine.

Whatever lays inside, or beyond the island's limits, is for you to discover for yourself.

[ The Knight adjusts themselves so they can hold their position comfortably, and then waits for Legion to progress.

Once the plants there have been removed, they settle, gently letting go of Arum's head and working on untangling some of the vines that have snared the memory cables. Anything that's not a wire or some mechanical part is deftly, and carefully, removed - or cut away as much as possible, if it's too entwined to be safe. Legion can take care of that, later.

They watch for signs of further response as they continue their work on the strange machine. There's significant progress, at this point; Arum is beginning to look much more like a badly damaged robot on a chair and less like an odd plant that happened to have some mechanical parts to it. ]

[The damage done to their memory circuits is...extensive. The growths and tangles haven't simply been due to their surroundings - some of them appear to have grown from inside the automaton's chassis.]

[The circuits at the back of their head and neck have undergone some of the worst.]

Interior damage sus-sus-sustained - additionnnn-n-nally.

Acknowledged.

(It is to be expected. Not necessarily the plants growing inside, but the damage.

For now, they will examine the damage on the outside. As they work, they question.)

Will replacing damaged circuits cause harm to software?

(They don't look all that functional, but if they are at all functional it's possible they might be storing vital data.)

[aftrnpc]

Un-un-unknown-n-n-n.

[Another tin-rattle of ancient machinery attempting to churn itself back into something resembling efficiency. The reduction of plant matter has made some of it, at least, slightly easier.]

Software already dam-dam-ddddddDamaged. Acceptable r-r-risk.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(Well, now that they've settled that they're going to inspect things closer and work on figuring out how they're even going to remove stuff to replace it. Their tools are currently limited, though they are capable of being creative.)
