Robot of the Day: January 29

Leap over walls, surmount obstacles, because they are there and because it is fun.

Dark alley, deep within the city, lit only by softly glowing signs; air vibrating with unseen frequencies.

Crouching next to the dead body for a closer look, the robot remarked “This is an old body. Several years since this particular antenna design was last used. And there’s no obvious signs of damage.”
I surveyed the scene. “Why is there even a dead body here? How could this happen?”
The other robot replied “This is an exceedingly rare event. And the environment hints at potentially anomalous circumstances.”
I looked into the gloom farther down the tunnel, suddenly wanting to be outside in the light.

Anomaly. A quick sketch of a scene as it unfolds.

Analog interface drift. I was told that with each analog/manual interface, a small amount of drift or irregularity is introduced. This is a favorable outcome that heightens the appreciation of the music experience.

Oonst-oonst-oonst. The robots tell me they favor the low-frequency vibrations, the physical quality, the percussiveness of experiencing music.

Desert wander. Pushing back the boundaries of the unknown one step at a time.

Just a rainy day here. In this town, the robots seem to make more of a show with color during the dark and gloomy winter months.

Just as all “big things” happen, there was no preface, no hints, at what perception-altering event lay ahead. One moment the dry, dusty emptiness of the tunnel system, and then, in a shallow alcove, evidence of an entirely unknown facet of the robots’ existence. The edge of the map had been unfolded to reveal a terrible landscape.

As practically-minded as they are, the robots have no problem with novel forms of transportation.

A few days later we returned to the tunnel better prepared: more lights, supplies, and a friend. Safety in numbers, right?

Robot of the Day: January 4

As much as there is out in the light, there is probably just as much in the dark. A robot took me down to what appeared to be storm surge tunnels beneath an older part of the city. I didn’t go too far into the tunnel but the robot did not follow me. Strange. They provided no explanation for why they would not venture past the mouth of the tunnel.
