I agree. I had some lessons on the sword before the Null came, but experience was my best teacher.

How effective is a sword against a bunch of machines?

Quite effective.
Swords can pierce through plate armor, that's made of metal too.
Finding the CPU was a challenge, but not an insurmountable one.

Huh, cool. So stabbing works, not so much trying to slash at them, I'm assuming?

Yes, stabbing works, though you have to be quick about it!
Otherwise, one of their razors or electric prods might get you first.

Kinda sounds like these things are almost easier to fight than the creepy demon lady.

One on one, they are.
Unfortunately, where one Null goes, its brethren is hot on its heels.
Then you find yourself fighting not one Null, but ten or more.

Right, because of their AI network thing. They must be able to communicate instantaneously.

I wonder if there's a way to like hijack their signal or idk turn off their robo-wifi?

I've been told that they can.
Experience teaches me that it's very effective.
I'm afraid I wouldn't know.
My world has little in the way of machines and nothing like computers.

It's cool, I'm mostly thinking out loud.
Or in text rather. Same thing.

It may be worth taking your thoughts to the Lab and the Guard?
Perhaps they could coordinate the sort of attacks you're speaking of.

Next time I'm at the lab, I'll see if I can't grab someone to ask about it.

That would be wise.
Any possible trick we can use against the Null gives us a greater chance of survival.

I'll see what I can turn up.

Wow this got really chatty, didn't it? I hope I didn't interrupt anything important.

Yes, it has, but you haven't interrupted anything.
Besides, I enjoy our conversations.

Oh, good! I know I can kinda ramble on sometimes.
Like especially when I'm bored?
Can't really do much right now without the room spinning on me so I'm just super bored.

It's easy to be bored here without something specific to do.
Oh, dear. That creature must have hurt you badly.
Have you gotten medical attention yet?

I was hurt a lot worse than I thought I was, I guess.
but yeah, I'm good
Like all my roommates work at the clinic, they made sure I got patched up.

I'm sorry to hear that.
That creature has a strange magic that knocks people out.
That's fortunate.
You're lucky in that you made it out alive.

I'm a lot sturdier than I look.
What does she do to knock people out?
I figured I just felt crappy because I was bleeding a lot.

Then you're very fortunate.
I'm not entirely sure.
I've heard rumors that she's connected with something called an abyss, but I think that word means something different in her world.

I don't know what it means were she's from, but it sounds pretty creepy and like something I don't want to deal with like ever again.

That's wise.
I interacted with it all of once, when it killed me.
I turned down an opportunity to go looking for Door fragments because it would have meant a month or better in its presence.
And I don't trust it any further than I can throw an ox.

Yeaaah don't blame you there.
Was that the whole boat thing?

Yes, it was.
For a voyage like that, each would have to be able to trust the other with their lives.
How can I, when it already took mine once?
