Out of Phase: Artefact discovered

There were several well trekked paths and one newly forged one, leading away from most of the huts created by human feet. And another created by smaller feet. There was one bunch of flowers, fourteen individual red and yellow flowers picked and left on a rock which was not particularly interesting. There was one noisy small blonde human. And then there was the boar minding its own business until something strange happened.

A pulse of bright white light came out of the jungle startling it, screeching the boar ran angrily towards the source. Crashing into something metallic, the boar grunted and gruffed at it turning as it shuffled in the dirt. The metallic thing was broken into pieces, snuffling at it the boar mouthed at pieces before swallowing a couple of smaller pieces. Making an unpleased noise it tried to cough, trampling the artefact and kicking pieces of it further away. Stumbling forward it dragged some pieces alongside with it as it carried on its grumpy journey.

The boar didn't know what it had done. And it wouldn't for long. Boars didn't tend to last very long on the island. Not with so many hungry mouths to feed.

And the small blonde human? She'd disappeared without trace.

With his tongue lolling out in a doggy grin, Ein yipped twice. She might be a fancy hologram, but he could see and hear her. Mostly. Maybe Edward should see this.

Picking up the piece of something he'd found, he started off again in the direction of home.

She was a demanding human, but he paused, letting her catch up before heading off again. He'd take her to Edward. Edward would figure something out or at least talk to Coraline and get her to stop yelling.

What is it with humans and yelling?

Ein looked back at Coraline and almost tripped. She thought he'd just go with someone else? Edward needed him. Ein took care of Edward. As for Edward being able to see Coraline, who knew.

After a few minutes, they came into view of the scrapyard and Edward headed inside. He could go around, but it was faster to go through.

Edward stopped and turned, looking around as she finally saw what she was looking for. "Ein! What do you have there?" She crouched down, almost squatting as she held her hand out.

Ein, enthusiastically, placed the metal something in her hands and she started to examine it, pushing at different places to see if anything happened.

"No tics, rattles, sloshes or wires, no boom-splodey." Ed didn't look up from the device as she poke, still trying to get it to open. If it opened. It was a weird thing that was a communicator? Maybe, otherwise why the hologram?

Maybe it was a program. Like an automated thing. Or an AI. "Ohhhhhhh, you're an AI, you look like Coraline. What do you do, AI?" Like her satellite friend. She missed him, she wished there were more satellites around.

Edward pulled her goggles down over her eyes and booted up her computer. She could take a recording of it, maybe the computer would know what it was. Or how to turn it off, she didn't like this interface.

"Ho-lo-grammy-hologram. An artificial interface in the likeness of Cora-cora-coraline." She looked at the interface. "And more annoying than she is. Go away, I don't want to talk to the machine until I know what it dooooes. You might go 'splody."

"Then go away!" Edward poked the device again, trying to turn the girl off. If it was smart enough to scan and pick an islander to use as an interface, it should be smart enough to take verbal commands.

"Edward is working. Ed should not be disturbed."

"Stop talking, go away." Stupid AI. Edward moved to pick up her computer, see if it knew anything about the strange thing. She wasn't making any progress with her pokes and prods. Really, if all it did was bring up a stupid Coraline-line-line hologram AI, she would stick it on a shelf.

Maybe she'd find a use for it later.
