It's Friday, I didn't sleep, here's some stuff that leaked out of my brain.

I can't find a way to do the Sunday/Monday Twitter post in a way I'm happy with. Until I can I'm not gonna do it again. It's an ugly block of text this way and that's crap.

Recently the state of tension between myself and my Compliance Automaton reached a peak. Unable to continue my work under these circumstances I decided to tackle the problem at hand. I proposed a truce, in the name of expansion. Young Commie cautiously accepted and we began work on the Dimension Gate. A glorious arc of glass and steel, the gate stood a foot taller then my towering, robotic charge.

When we first started it the was a massive discharge of energy. Several technicians were killed. I seem to go through a lot of them. A group of soldiers came through a few minutes after the gate had opened. The technicians checking the stability of the gate were captured by the soldiers and I called for another group of replacements. With them came a detatchment of my Destroyer Automatons. Recovering the captured men would cost less then training new ones later.

The Destroyers, Commie, and myself passed through the gate and on to an alien world. The soldiers standing around the gate on the other world fell quickly to the hail of laser fire my automatons unleashed. I radioed back for a larger group of automatons and pressed on into the enemy base. We must have killed half the base before we found the brig

Destroying several walls, we freed the captured technicians. The second group of automatons arrived as we returned to the gate. I told Commie then that this world was his to rule. That a whole army was coming to reinforce him in his conquest.

Leaving him there I returned to my own world. Over the next hour his army marched through the gate. The gate was sealed behind the last robot. We have contact, sometimes. From what I'm told Commie has taken the capital and that he is now an emperor. I'll suppose I shall have to pick a new name for him. He's not my young robot anymore.

I'm off at Anime North this weekend, there may be posting while I'm there, there may not. I'm sure I won't shut up on Twitter, as usual.
