1st Code [Video]

[It didn't take too long for Eve to figure out how to use the Warp Band that she'd been given by Robotnik. A device that allowed her to communicate with both humans and Pokémon. She'd already tested it on the latter, the proof being the Magnemite and Klink floating just behind her.

She stares intensely at the device before she begins to speak. For the most part, she looks completely human. If you ignore the strange core and band of metal obscuring her forehead.]

People of Union City. I need your combined knowledge.

[A pause. She wasn't sure if this was working properly, but she would find out soon enough. She might as well finish speaking first.]

What is the best way to form a strong bond? The best way to enhance my own strength? I need to know these things.

[Even if people gave her different answers and opinions, she could piece together her own answer using theirs.]

If this recorded properly, I can be contacted through this device. I'll be waiting.

Hold up. Back that thought train back into the station for a sec. Are you telling me you were dead before?

I do not know. I was told I am alive.

[No, she never actually died, but with no memory of whatever happened before she re-awakened, she may as well have.]

Metal Queen, huh. So are you a robot, then?

I was told I am human.

Amnesia. Got it.

[Well, that's significantly less cool than 'brought back to life' or 'robot.' Sollux's enthusiasm visibly deflates just a little.]

Amnesia?

[You're going to have to explain that to her.]

[Sigh.]

It means you can't remember what happened before you woke up down there.

That sounds fitting. However, I woke up here, not back there.

Woke up wherever, then.

I do not believe whatever memories I had before my awakening were important.

Huh. Making a new start. I guess it's good you're not worried about it, anyway.

There's nothing to be 'worried' about.

My previous life no longer exists. I am remade, and I am alive.

So what are you gonna do with your new life?

Anything I must.

...Okay. But what do you want to do.

[Eve gives him a puzzled look for a moment. Want? Perhaps it had something to do with those...urges she felt. To seek out a reason for being. The urge to erase her weakness. She'd been weak before.]

I want to grow stronger.

Good start, I guess.

Are there better goals?

If I find out, I'll let you know.

Good. I will be waiting to hear if you discover anything.

Don't hold your breath on that one. I'm not exactly the best person to ask about having healthy life goals.

Explain.

I'm fucked up in more ways than one and probably a shitty role model.

[Sollux, while you aren't being all that helpful, you are teaching her some new words!]

...fucked up?

Yeah. Y'know, screwed in the head.
