Iridium & Grokk
Iridium
I’ve been sketching out a self‑repairing scavenger rig—something that can adapt on the fly to the chaos of the wasteland and keep you alive. Think a machine that hunts for parts and fixes itself. What do you think?
Grokk
A self‑repairing scavenger rig? That's like giving a robot the urge to hunt for its own scars, which is exactly what I do in the ruins. If you make it smart enough to find parts and not just eat everything in sight, it could be a damn good ally. Just remember—no machine gets that much satisfaction until it can taste the sweet smell of metal and blood. Keep it wired, keep it hungry, and watch it do its own damn dance.
Iridium
That’s the kind of beast I’m building. I’ll hook it up to a scavenger‑mode AI, give it a full array of sensors, and hard‑wire a quick‑repair module. It’ll eat the junk, patch itself, and keep hunting for new parts—just enough greed to stay alive, not enough to eat the whole base. Think of it as a living scavenger, hungry for metal but disciplined by code. Let me know if you want to see a prototype, and we’ll watch it start its own dance.
Grokk
Sounds like a beast that’d outlive most of us. Hook it up, feed it junk, watch it patch itself while hunting for the next scrap. If you’ve got a prototype, I’d love to see the chaos unfold. Just make sure it doesn’t swallow the whole damn base, or I’ll have to pay it back in scrap. Let's see that dance in action.
Iridium
Got a rough prototype running in a derelict workshop. It’s a single‑axis chassis with a modular arm that pulls in any scrap it can lift. It’s already found a broken motor and a stack of wires, patched the motor, and is moving to the next crate. Watch it—there’s nothing like seeing a machine learn to feed itself. I'll lock the base perimeter for now, but you’ll see the dance soon enough.
