plastic parts and glue

I'm afraid I've been laid up in bed for the past several days; can someone give me an update? I believe after this I should be able to walk again.

Could you come by? I'll need someone here while I finish calibrating the balance mechanisms, and there are a few I can't reach without removing the thing, which... defeats the purpose.

[There is unbearably happy voice chattering in the phone.]

Oh, I can tell you Mr. Gilgamesh! I gathered a great deal of information over the last few days and I can even show you what I saw and heard if you want!

There was a radio transmission, which I recorded. Then there was a carnival that I looked around at, and then there was this small place that was like a model Mayfield with display houses and a carnival that slowly dissolved over a few days until it just collapsed! I was there too, and I saw so much and talked with a bunch of people! If you have a monitor I can connect to, I can show you all of it even, otherwise there's the monitors in my passenger pod.

But why were you in bed? Are you alright? I didn't know something happened to you!

[...Oh. Oh, goodness.]

One of my legs was removed at the post office, but that's not important right now. I need you to come show me what you saw, as soon as possible. I gave you my address, right? I want to know everything you've found out over the past week. Bring your own monitor, please; the only one I have is the television we're provided and I doubt the cables will match.

[genkibot]

Oh dear, did you try and exchange something at the post office? I heard they sometimes take body parts when you do so!

But yes! I have the address, I can be there shortly! Is it okay if it's one of my built in monitors? I have a cable, but it's hard to find things that are IEC 76610-5-203 compliant...

[madboy]

What I got back was worth it; I've finished a working replacement leg already. Better than losing something mental.

A built-on monitor is fine, yes. I just need to see the video feed to confirm what I think it is you saw.

[genkibot]

That seems like a good exchange if you were able to build a replacement limb, but it seems like it can be big risk at times...

But I'll head over right now then!

[And soon the spiderbot is knocking at your door!]

[Gil waves the little clank in, smiling a bit.]

Thank you for coming quickly. Do you need a place to set your monitor?

[genkibot]

Oh, the monitor is in my pod, so it's already all set up! But it might not be a good idea for me to try and open it while in the house, I might damage the ceiling or walls...

I think the garages the houses have here have room, but if you don't mind standing outside, I can show you it right here!
