Start: Side Jobs, Heinlein Stronghold

Introduction

Locate 1Abee in the Able Artificer Inn on Heinlein Stronghold.

Next NPC: 1Abee, Inn, Heinlein Stronghold

  • "Hi there, I'm here to perform maintenance on your H.E.D."

Me: Hi there, I'm here to perform maintenance on your H.E.D.

The robotic concierge turns a head fitted with a holo-screen in your direction. A face that simply resembles a stick-figure's visage flashes into a smile. It glitches for a moment into a horrified scream, and then back to a smile.

1Abee: Hi there, Citizen! Please, by all means, proceed in adjusting my countenance.

The strange looking bot leans forward to bring its holo-face terminal in line with yours.

  • Tell 1Abee off.
  • Tell 1Abee a joke.
  • "Hold up. What exactly is an H.E.D?"
  • Flirt with 1Abee.

H.E.D?

Me: Hold up. What exactly is an H.E.D?

1Abee: I'm so glad you asked, Citizen! H.E.D stands for Holographic Emotion Dispenser. It is a proprietary hardware developed by Professor Phantus Neutrino and enhances my responses towards organics. It is my face!

The robot tilts its holo-face terminal and fixes you with a large, awkward, open mouthed smile.

  • Tell 1Abee off.
  • Tell 1Abee a joke.
  • Flirt with 1Abee.

Joke:
(Social check)

After several attempts, 1Abee finally realizes you are making a joke and projects a stylized laugh onto its holo-face. While decidedly creepy, this is the correct response and you input that into its matrix.

  • Tell 1Abee off.
  • Flirt with 1Abee.

Flirt:
(Social check)

After several tries with you flirting and 1Abee simply looking horrified, you decide that, all things considered, this is probably the correct response and input this into the H.E.D.

  • Tell 1Abee off.

After a couple of different complaints, 1Abee projects the correct response and frowns sadly. Feeling oddly guilty, you input that this is the correct response into the H.E.D's matrix.

  • "So, how does that feel 1Abee?"

Me: So, how does that feel 1Abee?

1Abee's emoticon like face spreads into a wide smile before it responds in its ultra friendly voice.

1Abee: Why, it doesn't feel at all, Citizen! I am a robot! Your duty, however, has been adequately fulfilled. Consider me maintained! Please accept this commission… as your commission!

Congratulations!
