I don't either. [ schemes... especially ones like this. gu yun's too straightforward for that - if he needs to plot and plan his way out of a situation, he can do so with ease, but this sort of nonsense is not his style, and never has been.
he shifts where he's sitting. ] I agree with you. [ on the capability of others, though. ] Especially with what's at stake.
That thing was eager for the chance - and I imagine it only didn't continue this week because of our unfortunate little experiences with skills. [ lucky, maybe. though, gu yun would've loved to take the robot in yet another fight - certainly no one would've blamed him for self defense. but, if he killed tamaki, childe's right - his targets were probably not those who were combat ready. ]
The most likely options are that it came from somewhere above that we don't know about, or that it came from an Avatar. I don't know which, though. Maybe one that was at the trial, that first week - if we could say it even has loyalties.
[ ugh. ] Technology clearly advanced too far with that thing. [ this is why iron puppets shouldn't be allowed to speak. ]
[Childe hums, noncommittal, rubbing his eyes a moment longer before he drops his chin into his hand. Whatever his thoughts on murder robots as a species, apparently he's not particularly inclined to share them.
Instead--]
If that list wasn't written by the robot, perhaps we can gather handwriting samples for comparison, to rule out any of the others. [Since, yeah, he definitely thinks the order came from higher up, but again--meticulous cross-checking. If it was written by the robot, they'll have to figure something else out.]
