can't believe the radioactivity didn't get his balls but a t-posing virtual entity did

( Angela was fascinated with the technology and had already realized that the randomization ended up taking her to someone else's "mindscape", and sometimes they still happened to be in them. Post-disaster Australia is something unique to their time, she's quite certain. And while the U.N. had entirely sealed off the country to humanitarian aid and she's never been, she still recognizes it fairly easily.

What she doesn't recognize is the strange t-posing form the AI has taken, still learning and trying to fill in blanks, or the man who is oddly somehow familiar yelling at it. Angela isn't often one for scouring wanted ads, is all. It won't click for her.

She's almost leaping forward as he stumbles on the peg leg with his kick, a surprised little sound slipping from her, and doesn't even begin to form a reply before the AI has indeed learned something in this simulation and lashes out with a return kick square in the rump.

This time she does try to catch him, but she's too late. She'll offer him a hand anyway. )


Oh! Goodness, are you all right? I think they're still tweaking the learning software to flesh out the scenes we see.
