Intro
Brave Old World
Statement: Organic beings detected. Alert: Identity unknown. Disengaging stasis. Reactivating systems. Performing full system scan.
Priority: Weapon systems.
Promethium tanks secure. Flamestorm Cannon systems at 90% capacity. Scanning Melta and Assault Cannons.
Tracking systems optimal. Rotary systems at 87.94% capacity, within acceptable bounds. Recommend immediate checkup.
Scanning additional systems.

Systems scanned. Total operational status: 93%, within acceptable bounds. Recommend contact with Techmarine facilities immediately.
Awaiting user response...

No response. Internal auspecs offline. Query: activate auspecs.
Initializing log-349AE...Access denied. Must test operational status.
Testing weapon rotary systems...unable to comply. Servos blocked by unknown substance. Check completed: twenty degrees. Beginning drive system check.

Check complete. Drive systems operational. Unable to test traction; chassis is blocked by unknown substance.
Query: Initialize secondary level artificial intelligence.
Initializing log-8UN40...access granted. Second level initialized.
Alert: Unknown beings are continuing approach. Estimated distance: 3 STIC.
Internal auspecs online. No users detected. Query: Take self-action.
No log required. Access granted.
Internal scan initialized....task complete. Software operation impaired. Estimated cause: brute trauma. Hull plating at 97.85%. Estimated cause: brute trauma. Minor memory files corrupted. Cause unknown.
External picters online. Rotary systems optimal. Visual scan only nominally effective: unknown substance has overtaken main picters two through four. Only main picter one remains operational. Attempting auspecs scan...

Scan complete. Analysis complete: outer layer formed from micro-layers of organic material. Inner layer composed of multiple rock formations and minor crystals.
Query: break through constricting rock to the outside.
Access denied. Await threat scan of organic creatures. Engaging auspecs. External vox inputs to high gain.
Subject scan complete. Compiling report.
Alert: Nonhuman genetic material discovered. Query: Acquire subjects for targeting and elimination.
Access Denied. Conflict: subjects appear physically consistent with ancient Terran organism: horse.
Conflict: subjects are intelligent. Subjects have no human DNA. Conclusion: Xenos, treat as hostiles.
Conflict: subjects have located self, but have not become hostile. Subjects’ reactions do not match any previous First Contact situations. Subjects appear consistent with Terran horse. Hypothesis: unable to formulate. Insufficient data.
Conflict: Not all subjects match profile of Terran organism. Some subjects possess a protrusion of skull tissue and bone. Two subjects possess functional wings.
Unable to reconcile data…attempting-

Processing direction terminated to avoid permanent programming loops.
Compromise: observe subjects further. Gain enough additional data to ensure correct action. Unable to efficiently observe from current position.
Query: Free self from constricting material to allow data gathering.
Access granted. Drive train online, revving to 75% capability. Flamestorm burners lit. Promethium valves unbonded.
Initiating breakout.

A/N: As any of my FF.net followers have probably guessed, this is indeed very similar to another story...one that I have decided to repurpose, seeing as my knowledge of Inuyasha is sadly not up to the job of any sort of fanfiction involving it. Hopefully this will be a bit more interesting.
