Aiyanna came in with a grand show. This time she was quietly seated on some kind of mechanical monstrosity. It's razor sharp mechanical tentacles clinked and clunked as it moved slowly and ponderously into the dining hall.

The AI itself was perched silently atop what seemed like a mechanical throne adorned with cybernetics infused human skulls.

"The neuroanatomy of fear and faith share common afferent pathways. Flip a coin. Increased vascular pressure marks the threat response." She said to no one in particular, yammering what seemed like nonsense as she strode into the dining hall, her mechanical chariot lowering itself as she moved to step down.

She brought her red eyes to Aaric. She looked him up and down, and her expression changed only slightly.

"The obstinate toy soldier becomes pliant." She offered, before she strode past the group altogether, the mechanical monstrosity tailing her like an obedient dog.
