Out of Phase: Artefact discovered

[curiously_cora]

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.

"An artificial likeness? I'm not that, I'm me. And I'm not annoying, wait do you think I'm annoying?" Coraline asked, looking at Ed curiously. Coraline took a step back before exploding at the idea of. "What do you mean I might go splodey? Don't make me explode!"

"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 poking it, what if you make me go explodey?" Coraline said, making a face. "Okay, fine I won't disturb you... so, what are you doing?"

"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.
