Lab Level 9

HappyBot:  "Hey there folks!  I'm not exactly a common face around here, but I figured that if anyone was interested in the weapons facility, I would set the record straight myself!"

(Just a little lengthy, click the read-more if you're any interested~)

Ruby: "Well...  Kozzy's never really told me other than being her 'trash bin' of sorts, b-but I happened upon a few papers a while back reporting to our parent company, and one of the expenses mentioned something about an 'organic waste disposal' heheh, so I suppose that's what I am on paper~!  

I do happen to eat experiments gone bad, b-but I haven't eaten anything close to people!  ...w-well, not yet anyway~  I-I've been noticing my work-load increasing lately as well as the portion sizes, so I tend to wonder~..."

oh that’s simple~

((Aaaaaah!!!  Hey there guys!  Really really sorry about our absence and all, especially as unexplained as it is, but both Kozzy and I have been kinda off and on lately in the artistic field, not to mention having to slog through finals as well!  I think Kozzy is done with hers while mince have yet to be taken *they start this Tuesday~*.  At any rate, I apologize for the inactivity; we should be back up and running sometime soon with the Christmas break nearing!  After all, what good is a lab if it doesn't produce results?  We're in danger of losing our funding at this rate, and you'd be surprised how much money it takes to feed a dracoil~!  

Ruby:  "Well that would be nice... but I don't really have a say in what goes on down there; that's up to my stomach, so the answer is no.  Pretty much every time something finds its way down there, my guts get to work and turn whatever it was into mush after however long it takes.  ...this is why I don't exactly recommend 'tours' for anywhere over 15-30 minutes.  

...actually, I don't really recommend those tours anyway~  Trying to hack everyone back up really hurts my guts and makes everything all sore afterwards!  My stomach's not meant to push things back up you know!"

(Hey there!  Back on track from the last post; this weekend's been a little hectic for the both of us!  Know that we still have many older questions on our radar, but since we want to both answer them, there's an issue of coordinating and kinda planning the answers, so again, we know the older ones are there, it's just getting to them!  

Ruby:  "Oh don't go apologizing like that~  I just have a bit of a temper from time to time; I should be the one apologizing if anyone should!  Besides, it's only been one ask you know?  No harm done!

A-anyway, onto the question!  I'm actually more than fond with Lemon Icebox Pie~!  It's a type of chilled pie, and I could probably eat my weight in it if I made enough of the stuff haha!  Its recipe is fairly simple, so I more than suggest anyone who feels up to it to make one for themselves!" 

Ruby:  "Oh goodness!  You guys are pretty quick on this all of a sudden haha!  I... might be starting to bite off more than I can chew with all these questions!  Just so that we don't catch y'all off guard here, Kozzy and I are considering closing down the ask box for a little while until we are able to complete or at least greatly reduce the amount of asks we have floating around in our inbox.  If you're curious we have 16 in there as of now, but for us, that's quite a lot considering the speed we've been working at!  Now of course we're not just closing the ask box to play catch-up, but we're also starting to get a couple of repeat questions (notably a couple asking for how much he can eat at once in some way shape or form), and we'd hate to leave people wondering for too long on high interest issues.

Ruby:  "Oh goodness!  Kozzy, if you don't mind, I think I'll handle this one!  

*ahem~*

I am not purely mechanical, but a good chunk of my innards are~!  My heart has been replaced by a custom manufactured and tuned "Flathead" Inline 4 Cylinder engine, built for low maintenance and responsive output.  Typical engines run at around 170-180 degrees Fahrenheit, but this engine has been built to handle cooler temperatures around the 170-160 mark.  Not too different, but every little bit helps.  Now since my DNA allows me to adapt to demanding environments, Kozzy has confirmed that my blood has been modified to be quite conductive to heat, absorbing it quickly and dumping it just as quickly once away from the source, so essentially my entire body acts as one big radiator for my heart.

As for the rest of me, my heart uses a Continuously Variable Transmission system (CVT) to direct moving power to a Centrifugal pump to circulate my blood.  The fuel my body synthesizes (the chemical compound of which has not been determined, but has been found to be akin to natural gas in its clean burning properties) is stored in two bladders about where most people have kidneys!  My blood is oxidized in the same chamber air is funneled into the heart for combustion for ease of effort.  As a back-up, I have an organic heart that can be activated when my main one is down (it beats from the on-board battery, so operational time is limited).

Finally, my collar's pendant is actually a cylinder from the old heart engine that I used to have back in my MkI phase.  You can find that version of myself on my sketch blog.

(Alrighty, I'll just answer these quickly.  Now I apologize if I'm wrong, but I have the sneaking suspicion these are from the same "anon."   Just to let you know, I've already got a question or two concerning how much Ruby can hold at once.  Now I do already have a rough estimate in an earlier answer, but I will be getting around to them sometime.  In the mean time, I want to remind you that I'm trying to encourage a little more ask variety than just "how big can Ruby's stomach get" kinda thing.  I understand if you're curious, but this has already been asked, and we're working on the questions as well as our combined schedules can allow.

Also, just to clear this issue up whether or not it's actually what the question is asking, we're not handling asks concerning other fandoms and the likes *assuming you mean Rose from Homestuck, I won't say why I guessed*  This is just a blog for original content pertaining to Ruby and Kozzy and whatever else is added in the future.

Ruby:  "No no no, now look here buddy, I appreciate the enthusiasm and all, and I can certainly accept other people's fancies, but I would appreciate it if you at least asked first before you go ramming things down my throat.  It's... well, kinda rude you know?  I would've considered it if you asked for me to do so, but not so much just saying you did it and then walking off~  Besides, my guts can only hold so much, and I think you'd have a much worse fate than I if you were to accidentally rupture them.  ...Kozzy's nicer than y'all may think, but God help you if you hurt 'company property'~  

Ruby:  Hey yall!  Just wanted to say that we haven't forgotten about you guys who sent in questions a while back!  Kozzy and I still have them all on record, and we're doing out best to get them all answered.  Kozzy takes a while since she's so busy with work, and I... well, considering the nature of most of my questions, you can understand if I need a little time to "digest" each one~  Either way, just because we're answering some new ones, doesn't mean we're not going to answer the old ones!  Inspiration just comes at a more "indecisive" nature~

Ruby:  "T-this better be one heck of a cake, because I purposefully snuck a couple of work shift's worth of food from Kozzy's stash just so she would give me one of those horrid squirrels!  As- *urp* usual, it's not settling well by any account!"

A-also, I've got to ask real quick.  I understand you guys like to see just how much I can gulp down at once and the likes, but you're running my guts ragged!  P-perhaps we could ask a couple of different things?  Preferences or just a little something more technical rather than stuffing?  I'm not ruling it out completely mind you, but... *blushes* w-well I like to consider myself a little more than just something to stuff for giggles you know!"

kozzy: "oh my, you are right! eventually we would have some fatalities..."

kozzy: “I will be the one answering this question, since Ruby is more or less unaware of this phenomenon”

"being a genetically altered Dracoil, Ruby has the ability to alter characteristics of his body over an extended period of time. He is however, unaware of these changes. Since he is one of my subjects, I have been monitoring and manipulating his somatic and mental changes as he takes to his new environment. Amoung the things I monitor is the potency of his stomach acid. I have been slowly introducing thing like bone and hair to his digestive system so that it may be able to tackle these things a little bit at a time, much like some vaccinations. The results have been rather pleasing…
