This is Stab-Unicorn a reploid built by Dr.Vector.
Reploids are robots with human level intellegence. However they are not humans.
Humans must be protected at all costs, Reploids that indanger humans or each other are known as Mavericks.
there is no cure for being a Maverick and thus all Mavericks must be destroyed.

Stab Unicorn is a secretly a Maverick Hunter of the Ranger devision, a Class-C Novice.
She is working under cover as a botonist and mechano-botonist for the Human Resort called EDEN. going by the name. adopting the name "Stabitha"
Eden is preparing for it's grand opening and nothing can afford to go wrong.
The Head of the resort Dr.Eve has requested Stab Unicorn bring three Entry balloons to the customs office.

Her Roommate Chemical Formixer is already here, Her Co-work Gourdon is here and helping Stabitha carry the balloons

Maybe such a pointy horse shouldn't be carrying balloons... Give them to Formixer instead, careful she doesn't float away though!

Protect the balloons from Stabitha's horn! Give hers to Formixer.

Yeah, balloon is too close to stabbing implement. Give balloon to Formixer

Don't give formixer too many balloons tho, he mightfloat away

In that even a Reploid who never endangers humans again is still a Maverick because they endangered one once, and the past cannot be changed? Or are you all killer robots who thirst to spill huuman blood barely controlled by your directives just waiting for something in your programming to slip? It's good to keep in mind in order to be an effective receptionist for human guests.

What's so special about the entry balloons that they'd need to go through customs?

It's a bad idea to think too much about Maverick behavior, it takes many forms and it has many causes and none of them can be cured! looking too deeply into Maverick incidents can cause you to go Maverick.


Stab Unicorn would very much not like to go Maverick.

Tie the balloon to your tail, then it will be away from your stabs

Wait, does that mean Energy Capsules are lighter than air?

It's just one balloon! Hold it for me while I use the scanner, it's right-handed!

Yeah, tie it to your tail, Stabitha!

What about her pointy ears though? I think she should instead cover her horn (and ears) with a wooden cork or something similar if she can find one, that way, there’s no worry if the wind increases.

Do reploids even drink wine?

Tie it to your horn, that way it will always be floating above and away from it.

Stabe Unicorn can't help but look at the poster she modelled for!
There's her park co-worker and friend Johnny MetCool, also Palm Bomb in the back there.
it was a great job! she looks really hot and made 3000 Zenny!
Stab Unicorn can't get over how good she looks here! though the outfit and vanity limbs set her back 15000Z...
not to mention the refreshing Hyper Cooler she had later that cost her 2500Z...
actually Stab Unicorn has found herself 30000Z in debt.
at least she got to keep the cute custom parts...

whyyyyy did you bring the balloons in a room lined with spikes?

Ask for work from Dr. Eve to help pay down the debt! Also pet the pumpkin. Good pumpkin.

Dr. Eve, what a pleasant surprise! Though, um... could we maybe do this in a less pointy room?

Agreed, the ceiling is much too pointy! We need to prioritize relocating this meeting to a less pointy area!

Crawl through the room to avoid exploding the balloons! Can't have them popping!

>Animal design
>Purple or black
Uhh, professor, I have questions about these criteria...

No marking, long coat, purple and yellow, human ears, tiny feet
Hmmmmm

Oh well, arbitrary criteria means there's no chance of doing it right. Just have to make the best of it.

Ask if these are meant to apply only to Reploids.

Doctor Eve has
-Yellow, purple, black
-A cape or long coat
Does this make her unfavorable?

Wait no mustaches? Got no problem with no beards but no mustaches? SAVAGES!

>>1110096

Obviously she wants reploids who make her own colors stand out from the crowd. It's only natural!

Would she like to ask more questions?
Ask for a demonstration?
just get straight to work?

Ask for a demonstration - it might let an extra reploid in to Eden.

>>1110265
Ooh, good idea

>>1110265
I also like this idea! I’d like to additionally propose a mindset for ourselves so we don’t overthink things too much. If we get too hung up on whether a better reploid to give our balloons to might come along later, nothing will get done! These three balloons should be treated as first come first serve. While this will inevitably make us sad later, it’ll make us feel a lot less guilt probably?

Wait, how do we even know what’s a nonstandard manufacturer's mark? How are we supposed to know if a Reploid made some custom changes- idk we have a master list of all the marks out there, or something? What if they just don’t have one?

A demonstration would be a good idea! Especially from the brilliant mind of Doctor Eve.

Stab Unicorn is certain her scanners can recognize marks!

more questions? or proceed to demonstration?

Will the scanner detect hidden marks or will you have to, gulp, search for them?

I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to go over what a valid ID looks like, just so we know what to look for that might indicate an ID is fraudulent, while we’re getting our “Papers Please” bases covered.

Valid ID concerns and then demonstration.

Stab unicorn struggles to think of good loyalty testing questions

>>1112870
Well, open with;
"Name and ID please."
Then, while identification is presented, ask further questions.
These questions should be about details listed on the ID.
If the ID cannot be retained during these questions observe the candidate for attempts to check their ID.
If it is fake, the candidate may not retain all of the information, if it is legitimate, they should be able to acurately answer.

Ask if they have had any Maverick contact and when their last virus scan was.

It might be cheating, but you've seen Smarty's lab marking, just not at this angle.

well off the top, this reploid has:
-No human Face
-No Long Flowy Hair
-No White five-fingered hands
-No gems
as far as ideal features go

Then for unfavored, it DOES have:
-fancy hat
-animal design maybe???

And then in unacceptable:
- tiny (nonexisting) feet
- bald, unless the hat counts
- the weird grid on his face might count as eye markings?

He also hasn't presented an ID! While in theory we're practicing asking questions, these things would be part of a normal entry interview so it will probably look better if we remember to address them!

>>1112870
Ask him to remove his fancy hat so you can check inside.

Maybe its feet are hidden. Ask it to show feet.

Red chassis is a good thing.
Hmm.
Say " we wont be long. We used to have a human doing this but they were useless. You get it, right?"
I know thats hard to say, but its just being cunning.
If they agree they may be revealing latent superiority beliefs towards humans
...or theyre indicating a servile nayure by agreeing with a superior 'oid.
Dammit.
This IS going to be tricky.

>>1112880
Yes, Gottem!

Since DR. Eve is holding Smarty right now that does bring up a question that I think would be better to ask now. What should we do if a reploid or reploids are traveling with one or amore humans, fail to meet enough ideal marks to be let in, but their human friend(s) get upset that we're not letting their reploid pal through?

Does having a human vouch for them give them higher marks?

>>1112909
Good point.
Maybe a "A humans trust/support" is a plus point.
There has to be a limit on what a human can vouch for though.
We dont want to be reprimanded for letting in a human and their emotional support warcrime-reploid.

Stab Unicorn continues to question Smart Apploid

For a reploid without feet he sure is doing a lot of dancing around that question

This is an invalid ID, for a few reasons.
Name doesn't match, picture doesn't match, expiration date is after the issue date, and... is the picture glued on? Why are there staples?

The dates are ALSO completely unencoded! Also, it seems like the standards of measurement are the metric system for height and weight, and RP (Probably Rating Points) for Power and Speed, which this ID completely avoids! Lack of RP is definitely an issue. We can ask Dr Eve later if imperial system is okay later. Also his watermark is backwards! This is quite possibly the fakest ID we will EVER get!!!

This isn't your picture, you just glued googly eyes to an apple!
I mean, so did Dr. Eve, but this is an actual apple.

Eat fake ID to assert dominance.

Huh the class is off. Says "reptoid." Plus if the M is medium, you're more like a small. What's BION and OPPR mean here? Oh and SPFD? How do you go 10 mph without feet or any locomotion at all? Oh and and no screws, just staples. Why there's even a semicolon instead of a colon following name and clearly the symbol behind is fraud since the E is flipped. What's with the white thing off to the side? Did Cobrastan make this?

>>1113055

It's... scotch tape...

obviously this is a distraction from the fact that he's still being evasive about the foot question he isn't answering

Well they did spell 'name' 'issue' and 'expires' correctly, but that's it.

Now stop stalling and show your feet apple!

Hit the jail button

>>1113046
Oh.
Ok.
While we would just reject out of hand, as a teaching reploid hes rating usmon the amount of errors spotted, so we need to list them.
Staples, not screws. Tape. Expiry date error. Glassexps in the photo. No facial scoring on chassis.

Still 2 questions. What's OPPR and the M following "reptoid" [sic] mean on the ID? Like Medium size? Or Maverick aligned? Per the foot thing... unconcerned with details but 10 MPH at that size? Don't need to know how but is that SPED legitimate?

Hmm, according to our no-entry list they ry to sneak in things like... Mustaches and purple energy. Also mavericks count, I guess!

For sure this.

They are human so polite and courteous is the play.
Perhaps not only a spa but we could message ahead to adjust to comfortable lighting levels in any private rooms?

Enquire if their limbs are capable of autonomous activity and if they will require hardware storage or, if they are non removable, arrangements for custom seating and bed structures to accommodate their form.

>>1114610
Like it since it inquires about the augs without sounding suspicious. Oh and slight yellow flag. How is the photosensitivity still an issue with eye augs? Shouldn't that fix the issue? What's with the metallic looking skin coloring? Plus dark and quiet implies no people to see illegal activities... How good is this bioscan thing? How common are augs in this era/age?

>>1114610
I agree, this is a pretty low-key way to inquire about the augs.

>>1114600
Sounds like a good recommendation. Also gives another reason to inquire about the augs, to see if they're waterproof, so we can message ahead to the spa to make necessary preparations.

>>1115034
Reploids can enjoy clothes yes. Some go without. Um, does she know this is a Human Resort? She'll have business, if there isn't too much competition already.

Thanks! I got a very reasonable interest rate on its purchase.
I'm sure there's lots of business to be had on Eden! If you're selling swimsuits, that is!

Tell her about the local price tags for reploid cosmetics. Ask if she can offer something more... budget-friendly.

>>1115034
Both humans and reploids within the Eden Resort wear clothing items for cosmetic or comfort purposes! You will find an excellent market for swimsuits at the pools and beaches.

>>1115034
Simple one here.

There are a number of reploids who wear clothing, some who do not also accessorise.
In addition, there are numerous humans who wear clothing compulsively and some non standard bioformed augmented humans with unique apparel needs.
Help desk will be able to furnish more detailed answers to your queries. Welcome to eden.

Hey dtabby, i know youre here to do another job but helping folk is kinda fun too.

Reploid’s outfits seem to be metallic in nature. I get the feeling if she’s marketing to Reploids, she might want to look into accessories~

The reploids here are almost all working, with only a few allowed in otherwise. Not a wide market for clothing, though she would probably have a monopoly.

>>1115037
>>1115039
Yeah! Use less fabric, clearly swimsuits are the way to go for the budget conscious.

Ask her what her business is called. Maybe you can pick something up later

"Well, I can't speak for all reploids, but I'm personally quite fond of fashion. I even got into modeling for a while!"

You know that poster of us by the entrance? I think it's a good time to bring it up.

As for her question, I'd guess we'd want to replace our clothes more often than a human would, given that they wear out faster than our body. If she does open up a clothing shop, we'd be happy to stop by sometime. Is she planning to specialize in reploid customers?

I assume Eden has a marketing department, we should probably put her in contact with them

>>1115034
On a side note, is anyone else a little annoyed at how she asked about reploids like we were all one generic group? We're not just "a reploid", we're a Class C Maverick Hunter! We have our pride! I mean, we can't say that since we're undercover, but it's within a service worker's right to be a teeny bit passive-aggressive.

Oh, right, we should probably have an excuse ready in case she wonders why our clothing would get damaged. Can't tell her it's from fighting mavericks. Let's say, um, that we just get careless sometimes around stuff like heavy machinery because we're not used to how fragile cloth is. Our body is tougher than it looks!

I swear, I'm not looking for a way to ENF up the quest. It just sort of came up while I was thinking of how to logically answer the lady's question.

Stab Unicorn's first reploid applicant moves up to the counter

Nope, you're still not past security yet. ID, please. Any past incidents with humans? How do you feel about working alongside them? Please step back from the grating and do one full rotation (so we can see their whole body).

"Papers, please."
>But we don't use paper?
"This is the pre-interview, so figure it out."

Please present your ID. Would you have any documentation about your job application on you as well?

>>1116505
Ohno.
Shescute.

Erm.
Just your preliminary interview ma'am.
Please present your identification and indicate the location of your manufacturers mark.

Hm.
Personal notes for stabby:
One ideal hand. Animalistic traits but still primarily humanoid, im leaning a pass on that. Some ideal colourisation.
Personality initially seems good.

Final point.
How do we ask to see her boots without sounding like a creepy "feet-pics-pls-bot"?

somewhat. I can double check all your paperwork and credentials to make sure everything ready to go when you reach the actual interviewer. Speaking of that could you please hand over your ID first?

>>1116505
Finally, we can get another reploid into Eden. And a nicely built one, too. Crustaceans aren't as popular as they should be, but I'm sure... wait, no. Reploids are dangerous. Bluff the potential Maverick.

"Nice to meet a fellow reploid! Sorry, but the humans want me to do some security checks before you get to your job. You know how it is."

How does she think it is? That depends on how close to turning Maverick she is. Will she sympathize with our fear for human lives, or the stifling restrictions they place on us? Our words could mean either or both of thise things, but which will she hear? If she asks us to clarify, it's the first.

Her job interview story should be easy to confirm if we call someone at the relevant Reploid Resources department. Also ask her to "tell some stories" (implied wink) about her old job.

I hope Connie doesn't turn out to be dangerous. I don't want to have to bust out the electric floor on an electric reploid. We all know how badly it can go when you hit a Maverick with their own attack.

ask for id

>>1116525
Yeah, I agree. She's cute and seems okay at a glance, but we need to do due diligence and avoid letting our bias cloud our judgement.

>boots without sounding creepy
We could ask her to stand against the far wall for a profile photo and pretend to activate some unseen camera.

Fancy crest you got there. So is that a factory mark or is it customized? (Got a few unfavoreds on this. Fancy hat; animal design [crustaceous, hermit crab-like]. Still her personality seems fine.)

>>1116569

Stab Unicorn examines the ID

Sick boots, I see nothing wrong here.

One of the screws has a wrong angle, possible tampering detected. Also there's marks around it. Ask her what's up with that.

...is it absolutely necessary for us to see her mark?

Hmm, that particular screw being like that could indicate the photo was switched out. Maybe we really do need to see that mark. If she starts acting suspicious then we immediately close the shutter and call security.

Ah dang, missed the screw. Still, the boots point toward her being OK.

Agreed with asking about the screw, maybe she has a good explanation? Extra scrutiny might be warranted, but she seems like a friendly (if shy) crab. Is Stabitha good at coaxing reploids out of their shell?

Has the order of the months changed in 21XX? The issued stamp says September, but it expires in August? A date we know is in the future, since our ID expires on the same date and is currently valid? Somehow this ID was issued the month AFTER it expired.

The ink is magenta, the date of issue is valid!

However the screw indicates possible tampering.

Try the electric floor on the electric-type reploid.

If Connie can't survive something she's officially designed to absorb and empower, that means she's probably a spy. Or inadequate for the electrical engineering job.

If she does survive, complement her passing the preliminary test and direct her to the interview with a letter of recommendation!

Oh, wait, shoot, the year is encoded! If EVERY year is encoded as 21XX then I guess ignore my callout? You can really just name any month and I guess it doesn’t matter, in that case.

>>1116810
If she has anti-human sentiments, she hasn't given anything away in her responses. Nothing concrete, at least; she is concerned that humans are talking about her behind her back, which could become a potential vulnerability to the Maverick Virus.

Showing her manufacturer's mark would help alleviate suspicions if we can confirm it's not from a known enemy of humanity. It's not strictly necessary, though, and we understand if it's in an uncomfortable place. I wonder (aloud) what kind of person would design a reploid so that she has to humiliate herself just to show who built her.

>>1116812
Now that's suspicious. This card has clearly been tampered with. The photo also doesn't seem to match her actual appearance, if the number of eyelashes amd the position of her helmet lights are any inducation. If the area near the photo was unscrewed, that means there's a chance that this reploid has stolen Conductor Hermit's identity and is coming here for the sake of sabotage. Say you see "a few scratches" when asking her to explain so we don't seem like we're too suspicious of her. But be ready to bring out the metal defense wall at a moment's notice.

Apologise, but the manufacturers mark must be examined.
Very stompy boots.
Thats good.

Comment upon the screw and damage to the id.
Mention that it looks like someone slipped with a screwdriver.
Gauge her response to this conjecture and how she explaibs ut.

Whoops.
Just noticed.
Issued a month after it expires.
Both years are 20XX.
I presume thats the same year.
(Im guessing its a megaman reference. Maybe they use roman numerals for the tens and ones in this world?)

>>1116831
I think the years can be assumed to whatever would be appropriate. Something about being "encoded" for hundreds of years, and we just need to pay attention to the color, which is a reddish lavender. Well, I guess if the first two digits are different it would be suspicious.

Well besides the obvious screw... NM is used in place of name which *may* be due to length (She has no space between first and last name too). Still seems non-standard. September is incomplete. Perhaps every month only gets 6 spaces? Plus we've never seen the logo behind. Seems water related? Which makes sense for hermit crab motif. HOWEVER water and electronics? Seems off. Lastly - handsome on a fem reploid? Slip of the tongue? We should at least ask whose logo that is. Perhaps also call ahead and see if her job story is genuine. Oh and do compare her ID's light colors with her hat's. Hard to see at an angle. White five fingered hand so +favored (unless it has to be two hands?). Her undershirt or underchassis(?) is black+yellow so +unfavored. Her eyes are inhuman so does that mean she has eye markings?

>>1116808
So, what kind of reploid is our type? If we're not talking about humans, that is. Of course we love humans, but our fellow reploids are... well, we're something different. We've got our own distinct appeal. I'd like to think so, at least.

Or maybe it's more of a personality thing. Could be that our brave unicorn is more interested in the dashing hero type. Are we looking to be a noble steed with a knight in shining armor riding us?

That may or may not have been the best choice of words.

>...is it absolutely necessary for us to see her mark?
No, technically it's not required. and Stab Unicorn would rather not have to
search people.

>what kind of person would design a reploid so that she has to humiliate herself just to show who built her.
Stab Unicron is confident Connie's mark placement is perfectly normal and not weird at all!
Outer shell casing and armor gets replaced or upgraded regularly, it's popular for factory marks to be placed on areas unlikely to be replaced or damaged, though wealthier reploids will pay the fee to have outer plates stamped and registered by their original manufacturer!.

>Could be that our brave unicorn is more interested in the dashing hero type.
Stab Unicorn would love to have a stalwart hero that has her back and could maybe be more than a friend...
at the very least she'd like a reploid who has it together and is proud of who they are, and always want to be the best version of themselves.

She's so cute! Turning her away would be a huge loss for Eden

That is entirely believable, tbh. However, that calls her identity into question. Is there some way for us to verify that this ID belongs to her...?

AH! Check her measurements. Height and weight. If they match the card we can let her in.
Also tell her she needs to get a replacement ID. A bad picture is better than visible tampering.

Welp. We cannot say if she's legit now. She could have stole an ID and removed the actual owner's picture to replace it with her picture. Very regrettable if she's legit but fraudulent ID cannot be accepted.

Well that's understandable. Just unscrew the corner again and check the picture underneath.

>>1116877 Wait you're right but it has to be said. She's 163 cm tall? She doesn't look 163 cm tall... Well then again stabby here doesn't look 189 cm tall... Easy test to do. She shorter than you stab gal? Hit security measure if she's taller than you are. 3.28 feet = 1 meter so holy balls you guys are small!

>>1116878
Yeah! Smart!

>>1116881
163cm is over 5 feet. That's not that small.

>>1116874
So she admits she tampered with that ID. Her story about being shy matches with the way she's been acting... unless the "Connie" we're dealing with is a Maverick impostor who stole the real Conductor Hermit's identity. Time to look into this while making her think we believe her.

Tell her sorry, but giving us an ID with an unofficial photo puts us in a very awkward position. Our human boss would probably want us to throw her out, but we're going to see what we can do to help her confirm her identity and get in here safely.

First, ask "Connie" if she has any of her official photos with her for comparison. Behind her personal photo, maybe? That would let us help her nice and easily.
If that doesn't work, ask her what process she went through while getting her job here. If she did her interview in person or through video conference, we could get them on the phone and ask them to help us confirm her identity for her.
Another option is to get some weighing and measuring equipment sent here so we can check her height and weight, as >>1116877 planned.

If she's a Maverick impostor, we can confirm that and dispose of her with a clear conscience. And if she's being genuine, then we'll be indebting her to us while she's in a very vulnerable position. We're as new to Eden as she is, and any friend is an asset! Even if she has such a timid and underconfident personality. What a waste of a pretty face.

You can guess where her manufacturers mark is...
A perfectly normal place you say...

Stabitha.
Where is YOUR manufacturers mark?
Somewhere not at all embarrassing too, hmm?

Oh, yeah.
Height estimate like said above.

>>1116874

So say a reploid who had your back with a stunning tutorial, who has it together and is proud of who they are, and already the best version of themselves?

He's way out of your league anyway. (sighs)

Zap her.
Again, she's an electric-type, and an electrical engineer to boot. If she doesn't have internal hardware that allows for failsafe dissipation of electrical energy, at a populated beach, then it'd be better to neutralize her right now.

>>1116879
I agree, check the picture underneath. If it's still there, we can confirm the ID is legit and the tampering was stupid, but understandable.

>>1116878
If the original picture is not available underneath, we cannot let her through. We'll need to tell her to go get a new, valid ID and try again another day.
It breaks my heart, but we can't let a cute face bypass protocol, and it's not like she can't just come back later.

We can call ahead to the grid management after she leaves and let them know that she'll be late for the interview due to a clerical error.

>>1116874
She seems ok but I don't think we can let her in without valid ID.

That's a shame she tampered with her ID, it's too risky to permit her in now.

>Easy test to do. She shorter than you stab gal?
Stab Unicorn can tell that she's taller than Conductor Hermit, but it'd handy to get some sort of height chart set up.
She can't measure her weight, she'd need some kind of scale.

>So say a reploid who had your back with a stunning tutorial, who has it together and is proud of who they are, and already the best version of themselves?
Stabitha wants a reploid with a better sense of style and one that doesn't scare people for no good reason.

>Where is YOUR manufacturers mark? Somewhere not at all embarrassing too, hmm?
Something can be perfectly normal but still embarrassing.

>Behind her personal photo, maybe?
Stabitha slips out the personal photo, there's an image underneath.

Oh no she’s camera shy!

Image is a strong word. They shouldn't have issued an ID with photo identification this faulty!
Here's an alternate test: If she truly is a power management robot, then she should be unharmed by the electric floor. If so, she's free to pass!

>>1117158
>They shouldn’t have issued that

Actually, this is a great point. How bad are the governmental services where Connie’s from, to the point where they didn’t care enough to issue a usable ID? This might be a problem going forward for Reploids who are given terrible IDs and told to make do, next in line, get out of my sight!

Are we perpetuating an unjust system if we turn her away? How sad if she can’t get in just because her issuing authority is underfunded and poorly run!

>>1117158
That's what I've been saying

That's good proactive thinking on her part, fixing the problem herself instead of waiting around for the bureaucracy to do it. Just the kind of attitude we could use in an electrician. Send her on to that interview, just as soon as you call to see if they're ready for her.

>>1117155
Ok, her story checks out well enough. Just let her through. Like, seriously, she's obviously Conductor Hermit at this point, since the original picture is there and it looks like her. We'll have to ask for a height chart and a scale; otherwise those fields on the ID are difficult to check.
Also tell her to go back to the ID place when she gets a chance and have her hand them her personal photo so they can use that on it.

It would be nice of her to confirm the electric floor works, if she's unharmed by it. It's suck for us to get a maverick and have to use it but it had some problem which screwed us over.

>>1117155
Well, I'm convinced. That photo is recognizable as her and the rest of her story checks out, so unless she just happened to steal from someone who looks almost exactly like her, this ID card is the real thing. It's lucky that we reploids look so unique compared to humans, or else a picture this blurry would be of no help.

"I might be bending some rules here, but you seem trustworthy to me, so... welcome to Eden, Conductor Hermit." Remember to give her the complementary balloon, and if we have the chance later, we should meet up with her to help her settle in. Reploids need to stick together, especially when they're moving to unfamiliar places like the two of us.

Ah, it feels nice to finally help a fellow reploid in distress. And by "help", I mean get her to owe us a favor for sticking our neck out. That shy, worrying personality may not be all that attractive, but it's certainly something we'll be able to take advantage of.

>>1117155
I'm gonna be the bad guy here and say don't let her in. It sucks, but that ID just is way too screwed up to risk it. Not to mention, there's something off about it, if you ask me, even blurry. There's a third 'flare' at the bottom right, and that can't be excused as the one on the top of her shell because the photo angle is still mostly forwards. I'm wondering what that is. Not to mention, why is the hand clear and the rest of her face blurry? Even if it was focused badly, that doesn't account for this straight up scrambled-looking picture.

Call me paranoid, but too many little bits just don't wash out for me to feel comfortable letting her in.

>>1117170
The third "flare" is the light bulb on her shoulder.

She's clearly who she says she is, just a last call to make sure the interviewers are expecting her should suffice.

...What would the papers please guy do...? Seems similar to if he got a non-matching photo along with getting "years have been cruel" line. So fingerprints? Do we have a similar option here? Otherwise press x to doubt they'd use THAT photo on official ID.

There is no third photo under that one, right?

Im inclined to think connie here is legitimate, but as suggested, quick check there isnt a second photo beneath the back blurry one.
If there isnt, reconstruct and return her id with the strong advice that she apply for a new one immediately as tampered with for any readon is enough cause to reject it and expell the bearer.
Itll be a problem for connie as long as she has it.
But not today.
Give connie the baloon and a reassuring smile.
Wish her luck with the interview.

>>1117179
Yeah, this

>>1117155
>>1117167
Instead of "you seem trustworthy to me", make that "you seem like you could use a win". Seem less like an oppressive authority figure who's helping her because she's useful, and more like a friend who's protecting her from the oppressive rules of our distant superiors.

We don't have to make her happy, but we should make her want to interact with us over other potential authority figures.

>testing the electric floor
That is very unkind and inappropriate for someone who doesn't appear to be a Maverick. Being an electrical engineer doesn't necessarily mean she'll be outright immune to security measures meant to retire dangerous reploids. Even if she survived, it would make her an enemy when she could be a useful friend.

> Stabitha wants a reploid with a better sense of style and one that doesn't scare people for no good reason.

...OK, fair. Maybe he's not the greatest catch after all.

Just because she doesn’t look like a maverick doesn’t mean she isn’t. A maverick would try to gain our sympathy to bypass security measures!

Stab Unicorn reassembles the ID

Stab Unicorn has enough information
she now needs to decide what to do with Conductor Hermit

Grant Entry: Conductor Hermit will be given an Entry Balloon and allowed to enter Eden Island

Deny Entry: Conductor Hermit will be sent back out, she can try to seek entry again tomorrow

Detain: Stab Unicorn determines Conductor Hermit is a maverick, the booth will be sealed and the floor electrified awaiting hunters to deal with the maverick.
Customs will be closed for the rest of the day.

I'm not sure if this counts as a fraudulent ID or not. It was tampered with, but the tampering was not done to deceive, it was for pride's sake. Is there any way we can get a clarification on the rules? If this counts as a fraudulent ID then by the rules we can't let her in.

(wait, what are eye markings?)

Oof tough choice. Leaning deny even if she has a good case to be allowed. Fake ID is on the unacceptable list so that's enough. Hopefully she'll get the ID fixed and return so we can allow.

Denied!

>>1117293
Grant Entry. Despite the tampering, by all appearances this is a real ID with accurate information. It's not "fraudulent", we're talking to the real Conductor Hermit, so I see no reason not to let her through. If our human superiors give us grief about "bending the rules", we'll take the heat for a fellow reploid (and guilt-trip her about it later).

Is she in a rush? Because we needed 20 minutes to confirm her identity. It's 11:01am now.

I hope Connie's job interview goes well. She'll be nice to have around the island. And not bad on the eyes, either.

I'm ultimately leaning towards grant entry if we can't get a rule clarification.

Deny.
She can come back when she fix the ID.

Grant entry! She’s gotta get to her interview.

Grant Entry

>>1117293
Grant entry.

grant entry, else who's gonna make sure the floor works?

Deny for now. Letting someone in with a tampered ID on your first day on the job is not good PR.
Call up the person on the interview and say they should reschedule.

>>1117299
>She can come back when she fix the ID.
We can't be sure of that. That's the problem.

The world outside Eden is dangerous and she'd be risking her life if she doesn't get in. Even if she manages to get a replacement ID and new job interview, which is far from certain if she misses her first interview, she could end up retired by the time she makes it back here.

That's why I suggested letting her in and blaming unclear rules if it gets us in trouble with our superiors. Connie is very vulnerable right now and making friends in low places is always useful for an undercover Ranger. Even if they're timid weaklings like her.

Remember, this isn't just a job, it's a mission!

>>1117293
Wait does she have a prearranged interview? If so we can call whoever is meant to be interviewing her and confirm her story.

>>1117305
Also valid points, apart from our cover job here, we are presumably supposed to be investigating Eden or the intake division for some reason.

Deny and apologize that it's your first day on the job. If she comes back later, you'll have a better idea what you can do for her.

Definitely call the interviewer to let them know she wasn't just a no-show.

Allow.

But reiterate she needs to apply for a new id immediately.
Otherwise expulsion will be a constant worry.

I feel like denied is better. Just playing it safe seems healthier, and it's not like it's life ending if she doesn't make it. I'd say call the interviewer.

>>1117335
Well, all the info we have on her checks out. If he's not Conductor Hermit, then she's a Maverick who stole the identity of a second electricity-themed hermit crab reploid who happened to be the same height as her, and not only removed her photo to replace it with her own, but also thought to take a second, blurrier backup photo of herself and hide it behind the regular photo as a backup plan in case she got caught, but didn't think to make sure that she removed the screw without scratching her stolen ID or put it back in at the right angle. And she also either knew that Conductor Hermit has a job interview, or came up with a cover stort which would be trivially easy to debunk and and is sticking with it consistently just to get past the front desk security guard.

It's technically possible to be more certain that she's safe, but given how unlikely the alternative is, I'd say we're close enough.

Also, it could very well be life-ending if she doesn't make it in. Like Doctor Eve told us earlier, there are many dangers outside Eden and she could be retired, disassembled or catch a virus if we don't let her reach safety.

>>1117339
>make her leave
>she goes out and gets a new ID
>gets infected by a virus on the way back
>comes back meaner and a maverick but with a valid ID
That would be the worst timeline...

Voted earlier but as a person who studies security people should keep in mind "appeal of urgency" is a social engineering tactic designed for gaining access. Empathy and compassion can be weaponized by the malicious.

>>1117370

To be fair, it was Dr. Eve who emphasized the urgency, and Conductor Hermit has not yet attempted to use that tactic. Empathy and compassion can still be weaponized though, even if there really is actual urgency.

It's odd that the outside would be so dangerous to reploids though, yet Conductor Hermit had enough time to apply for jobs? And Stabitha also went on vacations, and had photo shoots! And has an apartment, with a roommate?

Isn't Eden supposed to be a resort for humans? Why would it be a target for reploids seeking sanctuary? The only reploids you've seen so far (including yourself) have been here for purposes of employment.

>>1117370
>>1117391
Connie has been a bit passive-aggressive with us about her job interview (note to self: train her out of that) but I don't find that suspicious. It's how she would act if she really did have an interview. I tried baiting her into talking about "her job" when she's supposed to be applying for one, but she hasn't contradicted herself in a way I could notice, and it fits with our own experience entering Eden. Sufficiently advanced forms of deception are indistinguishable from innocence, and at that point it's better to assume some people are innocent.

As for the state of the outside world, I'm going to blame it on Mavericks. Normal reploids are around to build and maintain infrastructure and generally keep society running, but any one of them could turn out to be a Maverick and suddenly start breaking or sabotaging things and killing people.

Light I hate Mavericks so much. They go around tearing down all the effort we hard-working reploids put into holding things together, they turn our fellow reploids against each other, they make the humans enact all these completely justifiable laws amd security measures on us... I wish we still had our weapons instead of just an electric floor. Like that stupid apple!

Part of the fun in this quest is seeing how corruptible Stabitha is.

Ask about his garments. Is that a uniform? What does that symbol mean?

Who's his boss then? sounds like an important person

>>1117391 Her job was the appeal. She kept pressing us on having to get to the job place. Even if she's fine being aware of social engineering is useful.
>>1117441 Quite a list of things. What's your boss do that makes him wealthy enough to afford yours services? Hopefully nothing illegal.

>>1117449
Yeah, it's a pretty fair trade-off.

>>1117441
Humans are always cool and he sounds like a cool guy, so naturally let him through. But a little small-talk about his interests doesn't hurt.

Does he have a specialty for his cooking?

>>1117441
Greetings multifaceted skillset human!
Reploids do not taste things like humans but we do have other senses that are extremely precise.
We can sense if an energy source is strong, weak, corrupted or pure. Pure and just the right amount is preferable and elicits a positive feedback. We can also discern oil quality and sense impurities in this and other consumables
Perhaps you could, as a hobby, experiment on what refinements and alterations elicit in reploids the effect of satisfaction like food can for humans.
If you have time. You do seem very busy. Welcome to eden!

>>1117440
Reploid friend acquired! It was fun to flex our authority on her for a little while, but we ought to do some relationship building later so she stays useful.

>>1117441
A human approaches. That's an interesting hood he's wearing. It kinda looks like it means something. Is there a story to it?

We shouldn't tell him this, but he were a reploid we could send him packing just for that ominous skull-looking outfit he's got. Those are almost always bad news. Since he's a human, we'll just have a friendly chat while gathering information we might need to investigate him later. But enough about the fair and just laws we have to work under! There are tongues to wag!

Do we actually have a tongue? We're a horse-type reploid and horses have tongues. We've got a mouth to talk with but I don't know if it comes with a tongue because it hasn't stuck out. I do remember that we can eat and drink (and that we're in debt partly because of expensive drinks) so Fullus might like talking about that.

We can also talk about some of our other senses that humans don't have, like our perception of the electrical currents that charge us. We can enjoy frequencies and amplitudes the same way humans enjoy the chemicals in food. Maybe chat about some of our favorite power sources.

>>1117445
Hey now, using tongues on other people is not unsavory and we would absolutely get parts for intimacy if we could. Unless viruses are involved. Ugh, virus-type Mavericks are the worst kind. Getting innocent reploids caught up in their filthy plans just because they got just a little too close... no wonder humans like cleanliness so much.

Ask about his hood and the symbol. It's rather strong and impressive. Perhaps there's an equally impressive story behind it?

You can't fake that kind of human inanity. But yes, get your boss on the phone and make sure this isn't a death cultist using a recorded message.

>>1117441
I mean weird as he looks our orders are to let ANY humans in

Stab Unicorn hesitates, and doesn't immediately open the door.
a little stunned by what the human Fullus said.

Stab Unicorn has specific orders to let ANY human gain access to Eden, does she comply with this order?

Let Fullus in. It’s not Fullus who has potentially violent beliefs- it’s his boss. This isn’t enough to go against our orders.

Thems the rules. However you might bend them just a little.

Tell him he will have to remove his mask to verify that he is human. Sure the scanner says he is, but that could be inaccurate. Better safe than sorry.

Well as a part of technology I can't say I agree.
Let him in, but maybe call Dr. Eve about this one. I wonder if his boss is coming soon or already here...

>>1117615
He says he's not into politics, and his main job is chef. Let him in.
Definitely report this information to your boss though. It's not your job to police humans, but you can safely assume SOMEONE handles this kind of threat.

Agreed. Let in due to protocol, but then call to report this. Bureaucracy is sillly, but it means our job is to let him in, while someone else should probably know to watch out for this one.

>>1117615
That... is not a good sign. This human might actually be dangerous. I know how much of a problem Mavericks are, but as a reploid I can't agree with someone who wants to destroy all of us. That's what hunters are for!

We're under orders to let all humans through no matter how criminal they are. It's not our role to play politics by selectively denying people based on their beliefs (and we wouldn't get away with it if we tried). But Fullus is in no rush to get through, so we still have a chance to gather more useful info from him.

A reploid like us is naturally going to have reservations about any hardline anti-tech movements, since we're made of machinery and all. Has Fuquaid given him any detailed reasoning for his beliefs, or how he plans to achieve them? And how does Fullus himself feel about them? He seemed pretty sympathetic to reploids like us earlier. Also bring up his mask. Does it have any tech in it?

Also, is Fuquaid in Eden already, or can we expect him to arrive later?

Oh yeah, you might want to ask if his boss is planning to try to actually do this.

"Ah. Well, I promote the 'launch all Reploids into space where they can become the gods of some alien civilization and not harm humans' party. Never liked regressive policies; sure, you can ban harmful technologies for centuries, but if you banned all the important technology, then what do you have left to prevent renegade humans from re-inventing technology? Equal parts violent and illogical...

Oh, and have a nice stay."

>>1117615
I'm going to throw in my support for the: Let him in but maybe send a message to whoever manages human security about this guy and more importantly his boss.

>>1117635
Yeah. Agreed.
He has to go in but human desk could appreciate a heads up.
His boss is already in so evidently thats no issue.

>>1117639
Yeah, if his boss is here then Eden has no problem with them using the park regardless of their politics. In he goes.

>>1117635 Supporting

Your orders don't have anything to do with violent beliefs. Humans can be as violent as they want, as long as you destroy the Maverick reploids. You do think it might not in this human (and other humans) best interests if all reploids are destroyed, but he didn't ask, so you don't have to give your opinion.

Really the only difference between you and his boss is you only want the Maverick reploids destroyed before they destroy us.

You answered his one question. You're all done! Let him into Eden. Oh you might warn him that there will be a minimal amount of reploids in Eden, if his boss doesn't like that.

Nobody in eden has any intention of harming humans, so theres no reason his boss would need to destroy it!

>>1117615
There's another reason to let him in that hasn't been discussed. The reason is that we shouldn't exclude people based solely on their beliefs. A functional society depends on its people being able to freely discuss ideas to expose their flaws. What we've heard about Fuquaids is objectionable to be sure, given that it could fairly be interpreted as reploid genocide, but as of now we don't have any evidence that he's actually done anything dangerous or criminal beyond expressing himself. We have good reason to look into him in case he turns out to be a threat (and we have a good chance to do that now, unless Fullus feels like we're holding him up), but until we find actionable intelligence it's a problem to be solved in the public forum, not by a border guard. Government censorship will just inspire them to practice their insane ideals in secret without learning why they're wrong.

(Ugh, the only reason they're allowed to get away with it is because they're humans. If a reploid started calling for human genocide, they'd be put through nine kinds of retirement before they could finish their sentence.)

Stab Unicorn grants entry to Fullus
she then contacts the head of human management
and in fact only employee of human management Dave Westland.

Stabitha has spoken to Dave several times before.
Reploids have to contact HM if a human if a human is
threatening them or being inappropriate...

Stab unicorn knows this reploid!
it's Gilded Goose, mascot and model for Avis manufacturing.
Stab Unicorn has long loved and admired her.
She would really like to grant Gilded Goose entry into Eden

Give her your room number

>>1117779

Wait! Is that Golden Goose, or Gold Eared Rabbit?

It appears she has had her ID stolen by a charlatan outside the gates. Someone is interfering with your job! Tell her to wait here and you'll go get it back for her. You'll be your hero's hero!

>>1117778
Aw.
Good old dave.
Seems like a nice guy.

Oh, hey.
Famous reploi-

>>1117787
-uhoh.
Oh no.
Can... can stabitha run outside and get it back?
Leaving the desk could be bad. Is there a security reploid on station?
Cameras?
We need a description of the fake prescreener.

Say.
How goosey is this reploid?
Animal designs are already unfavored and...
Ugh. Its gonna be hard to try and squeeze a pass with no id anyway...

>>1117779
Whoah calm down there stabs, need to be proffesional about this. First of all is pre-screening a thing? Do we have there ID like they're implying? If the answers are yes this is probably ok. If no we may be dealing with an imposter trying to dazzle you with celebrity.

>>1117779
Well, this day just got a whole lot brighter (and shinier)! Not only is the next entrant another reploid, but she's the famous Gilded Goose here to meet us in person! Or an impostor trying to exploit her fame to bluff her way past security. A Maverick Hunter can't afford to let her admiration get in the way of investigating a potential Maverick.

"Thank you! My name's Stabitha, and I know who you are. Big fan of your work! What was that about your ID and room number? I'm the border guard, it's my job to collect ID cards and inspect them, and I haven't received any in advance."

We're not familiar with any "pre-screening" process. We'll need her to describe the process she went through to in as much detail as she can recall, to make sure it's legitimate. Particularly focus on the names and appearances of the Eden agents who administered her screening. There's probably someone we can call on the phone to confirm things.

Do not use her name, or reveal any info about her that she doesn't share herself. Give the impostor chances to slip up.

>>1117787
Stolen? Oh dear. I hadn't considered that. I'm afraid we're going to have to deliver some bad news. For her. But it's great news for us, because it means our celebrity crush is now another reploid in a bad situation who needs our help. Remember, a friend in need is a friend you can take advantage of!

Sadly we can't leave our post to get her ID back but GG isn't retired yet. We'll just have to ask her some questions. Start with the info that's on an ID: name, class, biome, OPPR (don't know what that stands for), height, weight, power, and speed. We don't exactly have a photo, but she's famous enough that we can probably bring out a Avis ad we've got saved for comparison purposes. Also it would help to see her manufacturer's mark, and know her reason for visiting.

>>1117789
We do have some leeway regarding whom we let in. Checking the list, she has: no ID, arrogant disposition, animal design, fancy crown, what looks like a cape, and she's yellow. On the plus side, she's also red and kinda white in places and has lots of gems, and she's Gilded Goose! We haven't seen her feet or mark yet, but at least there are no "UNACCEPTABLE" traits!

...Yeah, this is going to be a hard sell, sadly. Hopefully we can get her ID situation sorted out and her manufacturer's mark is a good one, that'll at least push things a little in her favor.

>>1117787 Seconded. Surely there's a reploid who can cover your job for a little while!

>>1117779
Pre-screened? That's new! Check to see if you've got her stuff somewhere. Oh, maybe she's just talking about the parts of security before you. Ask her who she talked to before you, so you can talk to them and get her ID back.

Even if you can't, it'll be fine. You can vouch for her identity, and "missing ID" isn't a forbidden category. We can check for the other forbidden stuff I guess but I doubt she qualifies. Unless she has tiny feet.

Nobody mentioned a pre-screening, and you definitely don't have her id.
Sounds like some dastardly swindler has taken advantage of this kind beautiful goose.
We need to get to the bottom of this immediatly

>>1117779
I just had a thought, this might not be a swindler but a victum OF a swindler. Someone may have posed as Eden staff for this "pre-screening" in order to steal Goose's ID

Try not to be a fangirl. Don’t fangirl out! Be professional!

>>1117840
Agreed!
Explicitly dont have your hypotheticals subroutines run simulations of you boldly bursting through the gates wearing your fool bikini mod, dragging the scammer in with one hand, holding the stolen id in the other and clenching a rose between your teeth while GG swoons at your heroism.
Now isnt the time for what humans call daydreams!

>>1117847
Whoa there, pardner! I know it's intimidating to meet our idol like this, but don't forget that we're the authority figure here. We're the one holding all the cards, and if we play them right, we could have GG stuck living with us by the end of the day. Just need to stay cool and keep our head in the game.

>>1117852
Formixer's already our roommate, no need to overstretch our ambitions. Familiarity can breed contempt.

>>1117861
Good point. It's important that we don't look like a creepy stalker when we're being a creepy stalker. We'll save the "get Gilded Goose as a live-in celebrity crush" plan as a last resort in case she doesn't have any other housing options conveniently available.

At the very least, we'll be able to find out where she lives. That's going to be very good to know. If she's in danger and needs a Maverick Hunter to save her, I mean.

>>1117779
I just realized something. She says "blue wasn't our color". We wore yellow in those ads. Did she mean our arm and leg bands? Or is she talking about some other job besides the poster we've got here?

Don't confront her about this or she'll know to choose her words more carefully. Let her think we're obliviously starstruck and give her more chances to make mistakes. She doesn't seem in the mood for small talk anyway, but that might change soon.

I'm suspicious, but I don't know why a liar would make that mistake. How would she know we were an actor in environmental PSAs but not what we were wearing in them? And if she didn't know that, why would she try to bluff by giving us an oddly specific critique of a wardrobe she hasn't seen?

If we need to use her name before she does, call her Goldie Goose. The real Gilded Goose would spot the mistake immediately, but an impostor may not be so used to her name. Perhaps when we're asking her for the info on her ID.

>>1117906
Ooh. Yes.
Good catch.
Admittedly, i thought it was a bikini but it was a neat onepiece.

The goldie goose ploy is a good one, if stabitha can bring herself to try.

>>1117779
Check the systems to confirm her claim and examine her ID.

Social engineering at its finest.
1) Ask if she needs anything to make her comfortable while she waits.
2) Close the shutters. Call for guards.
3) Order one guard to go look for her ID and papers.
4) Call the head office on their mascot's current location.
5) If all of the above succeeds, ask her out for dinner and let her in.

>>1117906

>I'm suspicious, but I don't know why a liar would make that mistake. How would she know we were an actor in environmental PSAs but not what we were wearing in them? And if she didn't know that, why would she try to bluff by giving us an oddly specific critique of a wardrobe she hasn't seen?

Presumably gilded goose considers the gold outfit with a red gem in it a default and is only commenting on the blue highlights because gold should be everyone's color.

>>1117922
>Ask if she needs anything to make her comfortable while she waits.
Another good idea. Letting her ask for accomodations will give her more chances to slip up and ask for something out-of-character, like a luxury energy drink that the real Gilded Goose actually hates. An admirer like Stabitha would know things about her that an impostor wouldn't!

Stab Unicorn can teleport to most out door areas across Eden, but no where outside the dome, she'd have to use the customs passage in and out.

Stab Unicorn knows Pre-screenings are common enough.
She got into Eden herself on a pre-screening.
now that she thinks about it, it's odd that Dr.Eve and Smart Apploid never mentioned it.

Very odd indeed she would have forgotten to mention that, how are we supposed to admit pre-screened reploids if they don't carry their IDs?
Well, do you know Sinnick too?
Call Pipo and ask where she sent that ID.

>>1118043
Tell Gilda you'll be back in a jiffy. Sinnick may have just forgotten to hand it to you... Do we know who Sinnick is? If not, go ask Pipo. Then we can contact the hotel to get that room number.

Tell Gourdon not to let anyone through under any circumstances while you're away. Gilda needs to wait for her ID and room number anyway, and it's not safe for more than one reploid to be in the interview room... well, I guess if Gilda steps out Gourdon can start letting humans through, that's easy. Does he have a bio scanner to identify them?

Bury your head in your hands for calling her Goldie

Uh-oh.
I think Gilded Goose is being used by a tailgater. She might be innocent, but Sinnick (Santa-themed Satanist Maverick?), the trojan AI stowed in her backup hard drive isn't!

>>1118043
>Pre-screenings are common enough.
Well, that was a whole lot of scheming gone to waste. You've got to tell us these things, Stabitha! You're the part of our design that knows our history and the world!

I still blame the apple. This should have come up in our training. Now, how do we deflect the blame for this so we don't end up even more embarrassed in front of Gilda!

"Terribly sorry for the confusion. My superiors neglected to inform me of how these things are meant to be handled. I may need to make some calls to sort this out. Is there anything that could make you more comfortable while you wait?"

Can't forget that it's our job to be tricky. All signs say this is the real Gilded Goose, but you can't be too careful with Mavericks on the loose.

Now let's get started sorting this out. Simple solution first: check our work station and computer files in case there's something like a drawer full of pre-screened ID cards or a conveniently available digital record that we somehow overlooked. If not, we'll need to track down her ID, starting with a call to Pipo to find out where she takes the cards she handles.

Stupid apple. Ignoring vital info he's supposed to be giving us, making trouble for Gilded Goose, making us look incompetent in front of Gilded Goose...

Wait wait wait. Just to be sure, if we went through the pre-screening process, does Gilda's description match with how it went for us?

>>1118043
Looking legitimate then.
Check pipos location.
Check sinnick.
Verify claims.
