Coral:Acting Lieutenant-Commander Vivid Coral, she/her, Sky Clan, LXIX Combined Arms.##Hello, $PLAYERNAME. I am guarding the entrance. You are cleared to proceed. (The huge robot turns her head towards you, nods once, then looks away again.)|You've introduced yourself already=2^Tell me about yourself=10^_d1polling_So, about our task here...=20^Goodbye=40
Coral:One introduces oneself by stating name, rank, and regiment. That's just polite.|Continue=1







You:Well, I'm pleased to meet you, Vivid Coral. Is there anything else you can tell me beyond name and rank?
Coral:(There is no response for a while.)##I don't understand why you'd need it, but my full identifier is 2ceb87fa-1b75-40eb-8677-0748310fd881.
You:... maybe something personal? Something you enjoy doing? Other than standing perfectly still?
Coral:(Vivid Coral remains silent and unmoving for several more seconds. Then she gives you a nod.)##Yes. I enjoy >discipline~ and on-task behaviour. I also enjoy >disciplining~ my subordinates, in the sense of encouraging on-task behaviour.
Coral:I appreciate your company, inasmuch as it contributes to our >tactical goals.~ When you have a task for me, or when I have one for you, we will discuss it. For small talk, see Dr. Xlookup or the humans.|Continue=1





Coral:Yes, the mission. What would you like to discuss?|_!NOT!d1vivi_What are we actually supposed to be doing here?=21^_!NOT!d1vivi_What do you think about this place?=21^That's all, thanks=1
You:So... what are we doing here, exactly? The form I got didn't really get into a lot of detail.
Coral:You are requesting >tactical data.~ That is on-task behaviour and therefore to be encouraged.##My apologies for being reserved earlier. You may call me 'Vivi' for short, if you wish.
Coral:To answer your question{ Unfortunately, I have not yet received a >mission briefing.~
You:But... didn't you organise the job? Or mission, or whatever it is? I talked to you to get here.
Coral:I am in charge of the logistics, yes. But the goals have not yet been explained to me. I assume that the mission is on a 'need to know' basis for the time being.
You:So... that's weird, right? Any idea why that could be?
Coral:Idle speculation leads nowhere.##However, based on the sheer quantity of supplies we've been given, I expect that this mission will either last a very long time, or that reinforcements are inbound.
Coral:We occupy the only large structure on this island, so a >siege~ is unlikely. The mission profile would, however, be consistent with >flushing out entrenched enemy holdouts~.
You:I... I see. Well, ah, thank you for that.|Continue=1










You:I should get going. Goodbye for now.
Coral:HOLD IT.     ##I will require your assistance with a °task% tomorrow. Come see me >first thing in the morning.~     ##Okay. You may go now.|Yes, ma'am=999
