[Well, the discussion that he'd had with that one user had stirred up some interest in something he hadn't thought of lately. Or at least, he assumed it was a user.

But part of him wanted to know. There's plenty of users here. There's a rumbling noise in the background behind the text.]

[filtered to programs, AIs, and similar - AKA if you're technology, you see this text]

Would like to see how many are here that can see this. Programs. AIs. Non-users.

Know most here are users. Want to meet those that aren't. Know some here. Would like to meet more.

[Once the filter ends, there's some noises as Rinzler's Pokemon start fussing in the background before he can close the journal. And that would be something breaking.] Apologies for noise. Zorua and Shinx were bored.

Well there's me, but I believe we've been over this.

[alaspooryork]

I am a program.

[foughtfortheusers]

We have.

Wanted to get a real count on others. A user was talking about AIs from his world here.

[Bladewolf recognizes that voice. You're that "program" he met while on recon in the castle.]

A good idea, Rinzler. Though beings such as ourselves are in the minority, it is nevertheless a good idea to know who among the castle's residents are non-biological entities. Perhaps steps can be taken so those of us dependent upon an artificial body and an energy source can exist outside of our default operational range.

[alaspooryork]

I am Intelligence Program Delta, United Nations Space Command Special Operation Project Freelancer. [He'll even rattle off his serial number. Don't you feel special?]

[whistles_the_blues]

Just a count. That's all?

[simulatedmedic]

I'm a program. A hologram, to be precise.

[Seeing the filter and responding to the filter are two different things. Church may normally inhabit a robotic body, but as far as he's concerned he doesn't actually qualify. He taps the page a couple of times.]

Zorua and Shinx?

[foughtfortheusers]

Count. Knowledge. Information for future.

In case needed.

[foughtfortheusers]

Rinzler.

[foughtfortheusers]

It is.

Programs are not dependent. Master entered Dead Zone.

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood.

Identify?

[foughtfortheusers]

Pokemon. Pets. One from world change, one from my creator when departed.

[wolf_of_war]

I speak more for beings such as Blues, and myself. Self-contained programs dependent on hardware that requires energy. If we enter the Dead Zone for any reason, we cease functioning. I wish to circumvent this limitation, if it is possible.

[whistles_the_blues]

Well, I suppose there's no harm in that.

[alaspooryork]

Thank you, Rinzler. Are you simply curious, or is there a greater purpose in asking?

[originalcopy]

Pets... huh, that's cool.

[foughtfortheusers]

Can show if desired.

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood.

Would help you, if possible.

[foughtfortheusers]

Curious. Church mentioned AIs from his world.

[originalcopy]

Yeah, at some point maybe. I'm a little... busy, at the moment.

[He has a fun filled day of goofing off and getting hammered all planned out.]

[alaspooryork]

I am one such. My brother Theta is also present, although he has been in stasis for some time and may have missed this inquiry.

[wolf_of_war]

Your assistance is appreciated, Rinzler.

I'm the Emergency Medical Holographic Program and Chief Medical Officer on board the Federation Starship USS Voyager. Or, at least, I was.
