Casshern Sinned

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[ Casshern has been taken into White Chalice custody. While the Chalice's brig contains only three maximum security cells for high-risk prisoners, Casshern willingly entered one of them, without even needing to be restrained. While the cells were humanely furnished, they were considered "maximum security" due to the fact that they have built-in airlocks that open and blow the prisoner out if they attempt to escape or cause any damage to the ship.

Casshern also willingly submitted to a few initial tests; his AI has been scanned, though it proved to be extraordinarily complex, and matches no known signatures of other known AI producers; and Casshern turned over a blood sample. Yes - Casshern had blood.

There is a large sign at the security checkpoint: "WARNING: HIGH-RISK PRISONER - TURN OVER ALL WEAPONS AND SHARP OBJECTS HERE - ABSOLUTELY NO HOSTILE ACTIONS"

Casshern can be found seated at the edge of his bed, staring at the floor. His helmet is seated on a small table, and he hasn't touched his food. ]

They said its just a precaution until they look at my programming, but...

[ He'll say as someone enters. ]

If... If I killed Luna... if I caused the Ruin... I deserve this.

How would killing a single person cause a nanomachine plague of this magnitude?

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know...

... who was Luna?

[saikyocivrobo]

If I knew, would I ask you this question?

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

I guess not.

[ Casshern sighs. ]

I don't understand... why would I want to kill her and cause something like the Ruin to happen?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

The matter is mostly circumstantial. IF you are responsible, then we need to look at the why, and how.

What you know is also just as important.

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[... woah, why isn't this person wearing pants? ]



[ Wait, she asked me a question. ]

I... I don't remember anything. All I remember is waking up in that Biodome about three days before this ship arrived.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Nothing from before that time? So it is something that we must get from your programming then, or your memory banks.

Then what do you remember about yourself, if not something from what you've done.

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[ He breaks eye contact, then. ]

... Nothing. At all.

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

So who are you, "Casshern?"

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

I... don't know.

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

Why did those robots want to eat you?

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

I... that doctor said those robots believed they'd become immortal if they ate me. I don't understand why.

dated to after Mad's post.

[Kamille is seated in front of the prisoner's cell, looking, well, like shit. He stares intensely at Casshern for several moments in silence until...]

I don't see it. [he shakes his head.] I don't know what happened out there, but you don't look like the sort who would kill in cold blood. Maybe you were at some point, but it certainly doesn't look like that.

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[ He's not sure how to answer that. ]

If I killed Luna... I would at least like to know why I did that. Why I would doom so many people the way I did.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

[nods solemnly.] If I did something like that without knowing why, I'd like to find out my reasons too. [grimaces.] Not exactly as simple as remembering straight out, of course. There are so many complications that could arise from that sort of thing, it's hard to imagine there being any single root cause for your amnesia.

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

There isn't a whole lot known about Luna. To anyone who wasn't born in the Ruin, there are more myths than known facts about her. I really wouldn't know what she's capable of.

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

Programming? Didn't know you're a robot... wouldn't know just from looking at you, either.

[Quite a casual way of talking to a prisoner, Lowe.]

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[ This face. ]

I've been getting that a lot.

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

You don't seem the type of guy to cause such a disaster all by himself... if it was doable in the first place.

You sure other people aren't just trying to play tricks on you, since you don't have your memory?

[possibly-here.livejournal.com]

[No worries, Casshern. Kazuki's not a fighter. At least on foot at any rate.]

... Out of curiosity, what's the first memory you have?

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

I was... being decontaminated before being allowed into the biodome. They were spraying me down with water, while scanning me to make sure there were no Ruin nanomachines inside me.

[possibly-here.livejournal.com]

... And at this point we can't even just turn around and ask them where they saw you coming from.

[He's in thought here.]

And you have no idea how much of the talk about eating you is legitimate, either?

*Some servbots with cleaning equipments eyes the cell inquisitively*

Programming? Are you a robot, mister?

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

[ Casshern was leaning against the wall of his cell, when the tiny robots addressed him. They... looked similar to a few types of robots he'd seen in the Ruin, but not exactly. ]

I am... I think. A lot of the technicians onboard the ship said they haven't seen any like me before.

[tsunpirate]

You look so big and cool and powerful.
