Thaddos was doing nothing more than milling around. He could hear the Machine Spirits wailing in his head, and he hated it. So, that was the reason he was doing nothing at all. He couldn't find the machines.

What a Tech Priest he turned out to be!

His mechadendrites twitched anxiously, the only outward signs of his distress. His vox unit spit out rapid sentences of Machine Cant, which might mean everything from 'where are you, honourable Machine Spirits?' or 'Skak this.'

If he could, Thaddos would have frowned. AI? Bad business. His mechadendrites, including the gripping one, huddled closer to his body.

"Very well. Do you have some kind of... machine room somewhere?"

Tex, meanwhile, relaxed a little as the mechadendrites huddled in. It meant less chance of being poked at.

"...Somehow? I have this feeling that Stacy wouldn't let you touch anything."

Once again, if Thaddos would have been able to shrug, he would have.

"I simply wish to speak with them. It is all that I require." He was lying, but that didn't show. It helps if the only visible fleshy part of your face is your biological eye, and if you have a vox unit.

Tex was able to shrug, and did so. "Then take it up with Stacy. That's not exactly my department."

"Very well then. Do you know where I might communicate with Stacy?"

Tentacles are beginning to move again. Better run, Tex, or he will attempt to you again.

"Try yelling. Either she'll eventually answer, or you'll know she doesn't want to talk."

The tentacles get a glare. "And buddy? Keep those things to yourself."

"Well then. I will do so."

And he waves rather cheerily at her with a tentacle. "But they only want to be friends!"

"I don't," Tex snaps back. "Keep them back."

Something that sounds suspiciously like a snicker emanates from his vox unit.

The offending limb huddles close to his body again.

"You're not the only one with tentacles here," she grumbles at him. "Keep poking people? You're asking to get whacked eventually."
