don't call me Sans undertale

meanwhile...

uhh. cinnamon, what do you have there?

Asterisk

Asterisk does not like being called Sans. I'm not going to go into detail about why right now but there is a reason.

He doesn't keep in contact with the rest of the UT cast.

He's from a neutral timeline

Funky robot

It's technically existed since before Asterisk came to the ESC, but doesn't remember anything from before.

This is due to both having less space to store memories/a less efficient compression algorithm and due to needing to be near totally rebuilt.

It has backups.

Fell

No issue with being called sans, though goes by fell at the ESC

Still in contact with his family and friends

This is because he doesn't know about Asterisk disliking being called sans now.

Uses very silly names for cinnamon in private.

Cinnamon is an Emotional support Animal but he does not like to admit it

Cinnamon

Likes only two people (Fell and Dr Bee), doesn't really care about most others

Does not like asterisk

With that, Asterisk first presses a button causing a small energy shield to surround the turret, he turns the laundry list of weapons on the turret against the raiders. Acid "bombs" fire out, followed by missiles of Asterisks own, then a mix of the two. The acid "bombs"

...heh. this is gonna sting.

Asterisk presses a button on his turret, causing it to start charging. After a few minutes of this, it fires a massive pillar of acid, cutting through thousands of raiders in one go. The majority of the acid seems to evaporate quickly once on the ground, though puddles of it dot the section of the battlefield the charge was fired in. The turret shuts down after the charge attack, retreating back into the esc.

still not done, lets hope these still hold up.

The custom Tank-Mechs, absed of round 2's tank mechs, emerge from the ground, though most of them are getting beat rather badly. A few are winning the fights thwy get involved in, though the more advanced tech is proving difficult.

Fell, meanwhile, is tearing robots apart, with both magic and a stolen missile launcher. Dodging and weaving like it's second nature. He's not melting like asterisk would be in this situation. The thrill of battle is getting to him, but his main goal here is still defense.

Asterisk is now back in his lab. Most of the condiments are back, but all of the ketchup has been replaced with new bottles instead.

welp, that vacation was fun and all, but back to work. never thought i'd say that, heh.

The funky robot is staring at a cake double of itself. It's lcd face is displaying an error message. It's also repeating an error code out loud.

"ERROR 264."

If anyone gets close to it, it sprints through the cake double.

"I HAVE DONE A PRANK! :D"

FLASH!

There are now a shit ton of asterisk Look a likes (and some versions of hin that do not look at all like asterisk) around the facility. Fell is laughing his ass off.

Then, he gets a really stupid idea. After a few moments of messing with his phone (and maybe guessing some old test account's password) he's now on a livestream on the esc servers.

heya, ya'll here at the ESC have a really sucky reactor so I'm gonna fix that for ya'll.

And he starts fucking with the reactor. It's getting louder. Gsc asterisk is shouting

this should eliminate any need for power management for the next like what, 50 years? you're welcome for this, by the way.

Fell laughs, but is cut off by the fact that there's suddenly another skeleton in here, a very upset looking Dr. Asterisk.

what are you doing.

upping the efficiency of the world's shittiest reactor.

you cannot just barge into our reactor room and start messing with things, do you know how many alerts normally would have been going off? i don't know how nothing tripped.

...yeah, too bad, almost done.

i'm not joking when i say you could get killed and start a full blown war between the esc and gsc for this.

too bad, so sad. look, i documented all the changes so you guys know what i did.

...how are you not dead if this is the type of stuff you do?

Asterisk turns to the livestream.

...and you're livestreaming this. great. hi all, sorry my gsc counterpart's a dumbass, i'll get him out of here.
