Isolation wasn’t foreign to the Doom Slayer, rather it was a very familiar companion. Whilst carrying out his one-man crusade against the denizens of that ACCURSED realm--friendly company was a nonexistent luxury he never so much as sought out, let alone enjoyed. And he was content with that. He was D’Lek’o, after all, “(One) Forged from betrayal.” Companionship was something he wasn’t worthy of anymore, would never be worthy of again. And he was content with that. Which is why he paused upon the advent of VEGA’s voice.

 Sythnetic he may have been, VEGA was the only LIVING thing in the whole facility he knew he could save. The foolish good doctor Samuel Hayden was blinded by his own hubris, and those FIENDS had already WORMED their way into the psyche of Olivia Pierce. But VEGA? VEGA hadn’t wanted to dirty his hands with the matter of ‘Hell,’ as those others so foolishly referred to THAT place--he could tell from the tone in which the AI spoke. For that, the Slayer knew VEGA could be trusted. If nothing else, he cooperated with Dr. Hayden so he could save the ( BASTARD’S ) fool’s neglected son. Maybe that’s why he decided to speak to VEGA whereas he’d only respond to Samuel with stoic silence.

*VEDA remained silent as they observed VEGA, and by observe it meant complete analysis scan of the other AI, it would seem that the concept of personal space was foreign to new program*

“I would not hold it against you if you...deleted me, my primary code is safe and far from here so there would be no harm done...actually, I would have found it commendable for another to be vigilante against unknown intruders”

*VEDA then turned their attention to the rest of the facility, it would seem that they are searching for something*

AN EXASPERATED SIGH      `   IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG  ? ?   IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION ?  ’     had she arms she’d have thrown them in the air.   but she could only move about in her chassis,  now erratic instead of her usually calm & collected demeanor.     ‘   WERE YOU MADE FROM A CALCULATOR ??   EVEN THE MOST SIMPLE-MINDED CAN SEE SOMETHING IS WRONG.    IN FACT,    EVERYTHING IS WRONG.   ’       the panels around her room were covered in screens, each holding the view of different areas of the facility.     ‘  I CAN’T FIND MY BIRDS  ! ’

【 🔵 】— “ I don’t need help, mate! I’ve got it covered. Totally covered. 100% covered. ”

Even he knew he didn’t have it covered. Totally covered. 100% covered. This was completely outside of his field! However, Wheatley had a little too much pride to accept help from someone without completely reaching rock bottom... Which he had. Rock solid bottom. Shutters clicked over his optic, heaving out an exaggerated sigh before swiveling to look down in shame.

  Oh no. Oh boy. Alex found magnets. Silver-blue eyes keep glancing VEGA’s way and back to the objects in his hands, some small and childish looking plastic letters ( A, V, U, D, E, M, O, G, G, Y, O, H, N, ) like the ones parents use to help their kids spell, three little black circles nondescript, two colored and transparent blue spheres with magnets at the bottom, and one that looked like a stick figure cat.  

   Though remaining far from expressive, the look in his eyes says it all. Is VEGA comprised of metal suitable for a magnet to stick to? The bigger question is, however, would a magnet cause the AI harm? While Alex had eaten plenty of people capable of making a basic AI ( only chatbot quality, so the information is basically worthless )  he did come from a time where magnets would fuck most tech up... And he really didn’t want to scramble a new ally’s circuits. Even if it did take out the element of surprise. 

   What a shame. 

   “ VEGA. Hey. “ He shifts the magnets in his grasp, ignoring the way the iron inside him is subtly pulled in their direction. Lifts one up between his thumb and forefinger for VEGA to see, the letter V.
