Five Pebbles has begun a broadcast!
It started with Pebbles holding up Rivulet. The slugcat in question blinked like a lizard.
"I've come to make an announcement, Slugcats are a bunch of smooth brained motherfuckers, they scratched up my fucking memory arrays. That's right, they broke in here to fuck up my memory arrays and fell into the Rot- then they looked at me because they wanted me to "help them" and I said that's Ascension, so I'm making a call out post on this broadcast-
"Moon, you better stop sending these slugcats here, their brains are the size of this pearl except way smaller, but here's what my slugcat is like."
Pebbles briefly ducked out of frame as an explosion rocked the Overseer. He re-entered while holding up a displeased Artificer.
"THAT'S RIGHT BABY, ALL PURPOSED, FULL OF ANGER AND NUCLEAR. LOOK AT THAT IT'S SMART AND COMPETENT. THE OTHERS INTERRUPTED MY WORK SO I'M GONNA LOCK DOWN THE SUPERSTRUCTURE."
The Rot visibly grew worse on Pebbles as he says this. Just enough to make him pause.
"EXCEPT I'M NOT JUST GONNA LOCK MY SUPERSTRUCTURE, I'M GONNA GO BIGGER, I'LL LOCK UP THE UNDERHANG! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT FOOLISH CREATURES?! I'VE TAKEN AWAY YOUR ABILITY TO ANNOY ME! YOU HAVE 2-3 CYCLES BEFORE THE ROT FUCKING KILLS ME, NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE THE ROT INFECTS YOU TOO."
The broadcast immediately stopped. All Iterators who observed it simply.. stared.
That sure did happen.
