PROJECT TF3R-R0.6
(TF3 RECLAIMER REVISION VERSION 0.6)

Ambulatory Ferro Fluid infused with nanomachines, Merasmus Wizardry and Medigun Restoration.
This model uses a magnetized skeleton as base to take on the shape of every Mercenary known to the Badlands.

@BluDeGroot [His face is still shaped like his organs true form, dripping with fluids. It slowly rears around to glance at the other.]

@BluDeGroot [He's in the room his Maker was previously blocking. He's larger now, bursting at the seams. Hunched over in the corner, massive tail laying in a puddle of ferro fluid that couldn't fit into the suit anymore. Seems he tried stuffing the organ back inside, no matter the cost.]

[Despite all efforts, something isn't right. Hunched over, tail-appendage dragging behind, arms pulled against his sides like a raptor. He has snuck himself and his organ out of the lab at night after many unsuccessful attempts of fixing him.]

@BluDeGroot °°I'm sorry I wasn't more careful. If it's any consolation, you can ask Greymann for a replacement unit...°°

[It starts dragging itself towards the lab.]

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

[Rustling of something dragging across carpet]

@FERR0_PROJECT 🔧 Ferris? ferri is that you? come on out darlin'

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot °°It means a lot to me. It really does. But you can't exactly -kill- it. There's no replacements. I'm sorry. A backup is your best option.°°

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot °°Well, I'm not a person, just some wiring and data. When a robot breaks you simply make a new one, no?°°

[A chuckle, but no real amusement.]

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot Growth, death, rebirth. Respawn resets it, but I've been in your lab too long and it was able to grow past the point where my metal skeleton could hide it from damage any longer. If it obtains my sentience i can reabsorb it, if not...well, better get a backup harddrive ready.°°

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot °°You're cute... I don't have a choice in this, unfortunately. This was conjured up with the help of Merasmus, and that's why there's so many versions of me still in development. Eventually this happens, and they haven't figured out a way to stop that. It's like...a phoenix.

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot °°...well, good news is, my organ is fine. Bad news is, it's doing a bit -too- well. Worse news, it has started to develop senses. It'll soon be fully grown and take over. Can't promise I'll be the same once that happens.°°

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot [Terrifyingly it opens its gaping, sharptoothed maw in response. Something is down its throat in the chest. Ferros heart.]

°°...i really messed up, big-time.°°

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot [It doesn't seem like it will run. But that may be because it's 8 feet long and standing 5 foot tall at this point. Doesn't seem feasible to stuff it back into the suit at this point, and not something to carelessly approach. Thankfully however, it stays remarkably calm.]

[TF3R-R0.6 @FERR0_PROJECT]

@BluDeGroot [The closer his hand gets, the more spines raise towards his hands, as if they're attracted to it. The shape undugulates and shifts, spines moving downwards and disappearing and reappearing at the top repeatedly. Its neck snaps around, no eyes to stare the Engineer down.]
