[ okay so Alibaba has kind of understood the slightly vague rundown that he was given about this place and the strange thing he was given, so sincerest apologies when the video feed shows nothing but his shoes and sounds of him being frustrated. he turns it a few times in his hands and the camera flips flops all over the place. ]

How do you work this thing? [ insert smacking noises from Alibaba ignorantly smacking it unaware that it has been own and recording the entire time. ]

Hello. Are you in need of assistance?

[ this is the part where edi plays the helpful, mobile vi to gain information and details of what's unknown to her — it's easier that way, with little questions to be asked about her because the time is not right yet. this is not messing around.

.... just a little. ]

Well actua-

[ the camera pans up, unknowingly to Alibaba, to a robotic torso revealing the lower half of their face to the "collar bone" as soon as he hears a voice speaking to him. there's a rather extended pause as Alibaba tries to figure out to respond to what he's seeing.

Though during the silence the camera slowly drops to settle on the robot's chest...or rather, breasts. ]

Question incomplete. Please finish your statement so that I may assist with optimum capacity.

[ the thing is: edi knows what's wrong. of course she does, she can think for herself — and she thinks this is reminiscent of her visit to the citadel. that's why she reaches out to take the camera herself. ]

You are having trouble with the device itself?

[ apologies, EDI but he isn't going to be able to respond properly and just lets her take the camera/his device from him. he has quite a dumb look on his face - which can't be seen by the camera. pity. ]

[ that has been remedied: edi moves the camera to point towards his face. ]

This man is in a state of shock. Identity necessary to continue, please reply ASAP. Recommendation: Shaking until he gains his senses back.

[ Here's a fairy girl, answering the broadcast with a rather peculiar look on her face. The expression could be mistaken for discomfort or unease; however, in reality, it's neither. Lyfa's just trying pretty hard not to laugh. ]

Hey, are you okay? [ Her voice reverberates with small, mirth induced tremors, but with any luck, that kind of thing won't be too conspicuous. Especially as the blonde teenager seems to be . . . somewhat occupied. ]

Why don't you try punching him? Or checking his body, if he's in a state of shock and thus unable to respond he's the same as being unconscious. Maybe he has some identification on himself that will solve the identity problem.

[Primo is so helpful. No, this not him trolling. Okay, he is, but it's still a good suggestion.]

All else fails, some directions to know where you are so we can shake him would be appreciated.

I don't think shaking him is gonna solve anything.

I'm more of a fan of the old bucket and water trick, myself.

A sentient AI...!?

[Pardon this one - he's actually vastly more interested in the robot lady than her dumbfounded "friend".]

What is your manufacturer and model number, if you don't mind my asking?
