Data Recording 009: Today is a pretty great day! [Back dated to Feb. 1st]
[Tachikoma is feeling good. Really good! Why, it hasn't felt this giddy before except when Mr. Batou gave it some natural oil!
Which is why you may find the futuristic spider tank tearing through town at top speed, talking to itself in an even more chipper voice than it usually has or even humming.
In all honesty, Tachikoma hardly seems different at all at the moment, other than being extra hyper. And even regular friends of it might not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Unless you take note of the drones.
Before today, the drones have been use to the Williamsons' "dog" running along the sidewalks and streets or nosing around things. It never dug up their gardens, it never left a mess on their lawns, and it was pretty docile and friendly, allowing folks to pet it or gently shoo it away if they needed to get by.
Not today. No, if you watch, you might see Tachikoma is actively plowing down the drones, or any person, for that matter, while it's speeding through town. And the few times it has stopped? It's knocking away the drones who try to pet it. You might even catch Tachikoma holding a drone by the arms, spinning in a circle faster and faster, and then suddenly letting go to send the poor person flying like in some crazy living hammer throw. Needless to say, the drones have taken notice. And if you don't see Tachikoma, you can definitely see agitated drones talking and shouting among themselves in its wake.]
Look out! The Williamsons' dog has gone rabid!
Someone call the dog catcher!
Oh my, Tachi use to to be such a nice dog... It's such a shame!

[And there's Engie himself, leaning on a fence. With the electrosapper stuck on his back happily draining him of energy and strength, it's an effort for him to even get out of the house.]
Tatch, what's wrong!?

Oh! Hi Mr. Engineer! Nothing's wrong! I've been feeling great all day!!
Some of these drones have been getting in the way, but it's no problem really. Not many pure organic creatures can really stand up to a multiped tank, no matter how compact or light it is!
