[KOS-MOS stops towards the middle of the room, red eyes unblinking as she takes in the room.]
Analyzing.
[Every detail is marked in memory, from the composition of the cake to the type of wood of the table and the handwriting on the sign.]
Unable to determine location. The confection on the table does not possess any unnatural ingredients. There are no poisonous substances and seems to be fresh.
[She says to her company, but really because she's analyzing the mysterious place she's ended up in due to mission.]
You may proceed how you wish. I shall proceed back the way we came and create an exit.
[KOS-MOS really is about to punch a hole in the wall.]
ii. Tea Party
[The riddle is easy enough to solve. Her algorithms make it a simple task, though she does not say anything as they take their seats at the table where their names sit. Incapable of consuming organic food, she sits confused, staring at the food that is not in her database, but looks appealing.
Her hand comes to rest over her stomach plates, head slowly turning towards her companion.]
Error. There appears to be a malfunction behind my abdominal plates.
[Though she was able to get here so... she's still confused about that.]
iii. That's Wizard's Chess
[Chess is a simple task for her programming to figure out. Probabilities and strategies for the most efficient path to victory are what she's programmed with.
But she does not move to take one of the spots. The android considers the situation at hand and the quickest path is to simply walk through. It's the most logical, as, after all, she cannot understand the point of giant chess pieces. There is no logical reason for her to play, and no interest.
KOS-MOS completes her analysis of the situation and moves forward without a word, moving to cross the chessboard without paying any mind to the pieces.]
iv. There's something about Mary [CW: lots of christian religious facts screwed around with because Xenosaga]
[KOS-MOS does not have hopes and dreams. Her relations with those who accompany her are strictly professional. She has two missions, three if she happens to find Shion. Her past is limited, but there's something inside her that triggers a shift, watching as a dark-haired woman with dark skin, cradling a body close to her as she weeps.
For some reason, that woman bears an identical appearance to the android standing there. There's sadness, heavy and thick as the woman brushes the body's hair from her face. A deep pain that strikes KOS-MOS hard and forces her a step back, the bright red lenses zooming in and out, parts of her body twitching as if malfunctioning.
Remain long enough, and there's a shift. It all stops and KOS-MOS closes her eyes, only to open them, eyes blue and bright, and something in her expression shifts, to one of despair, lifting a hand for the lifeless woman.]
I'll protect you this time.
[Speaking to her will cause the consciousness of Mary Magdalene to retreat, and KOS-MOS will not understand the image.]
