An awakened's work. Exhibited in the 1940s for an unknown period. Completed in the spring, on May 30th. Originally exhibited in the USA, and later moved to the Laplace Scientific Computing Center.
- Procedural info, risk assessment, voluntary participation statement, ah, and the all-important consent page. Just sign here, and we can get on with the experiment. Haha! I've been waiting for this day—we all have! Oh, don't forget to sign here too—we need it in duplicate, standard procedure you understand.
(First Encounter Voiceline)
- Glare? From my head? I'm sorry, I had no idea! A quick coat of paint should do the trick, though some of our colleagues are quite particular about maintaining appearances ... Ah! I suppose I'll just have to avoid direct sunlight for now.
(Suitcase Climate Voiceline)
- The Earth's churning core maintains her magnetic field, and the isolines of magnetic declination drift over time. Maybe she's sending us a message, waiting for us to decipher it. Who's to say this giant floating rock isn't an Awakened?
(To the Future Voiceline)
- Alright, I understand—breaks are important. *sigh* These meaningless administrative tasks are rather draining, even for me. Thankfully, I don't need as much rest as my fleshy counterparts. I'll get the job done while you unwind.
(Idle Voiceline)
- Ah, you've made it in! Actually, the lock opens to any code. But the ticking timer on it—that's what gets people scratching their heads. Most locks with a timer attached have a self-destruct program, you see. One wrong try, and you're locked out for good.
(Greetings Voiceline)
- There's no better way to start the day than with Laplace's monthly journal. In fact, I've annotated a few of the more fascinating papers. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on them.
(Morning Voiceline)
- Don't mind me. I'm just recording the routines of the suitcase's inhabitants for future use and, well, because I'm curious. It's going to be a long process; it could take years to gather enough data to create an accurate profile. Don't worry, your routine is far from the most extreme I've seen.
(Bond: Morning Voiceline)
- While I have no need to eat, I still sit at the dinner table during our ten-minute dinner break and chat with my colleagues. That's right, ten minutes is more than sufficient for any Laplace employee. Frankly, the Foundation's people spend far too much time eating meals.
(Night Voiceline)
- I've noticed that intellectually stimulating activities are more effective in team bonding. That's why I've put this together: All Problems and No Solutions: Laplace's Greatest Questions (Bound Volume). According to my observations, more than 90% of readers experience an increased heart rate when working through it.
(Bond: Night Voiceline)
- Madam Lucy pointed out that physical features such as a large head often evoke friendly responses from human colleagues. I've traveled in other containers too, a thermos, a glasses case ... Oh, but the worst by far was a cola bottle. The syrup at the bottom almost trapped me in there. I felt like a bug stuck in tar.
(Hat and Hair Voiceline)
- Ah, yes, body language! I was just reading about it a few days ago. Hand contact is often perceived as warm and friendly, and it's an effective way to show support. A very useful technique indeed. Especially since, whether through choice or circumstance, many of our researchers struggle with communication.
(Sleeves and Hands Voiceline)
- Since I don't have any limbs, this body was designed to replicate human architecture and hold a suitable number of appliances. I learned the hard way how important it is to have every tool on hand—especially after the 'iron and three toasters' incident.
