Chapter Text
"-processing confirmed. please state identifier for this unit."
The android waits for the skeleton monster to continue speaking, it had been this way ever since he first came online over an hour along. His creator was meant to confirm all his settings, something that should only take a matter of minutes if he had the right data in mind.
However, this skeleton, his creator, was very... incompetent- could he really insult the one that made him?
Yet, his creator was all over the place in terms of words, the unit had to piece together until he reached the right conclusion and confirm it.
{*how did this -creator- come to make something as complex as -unit-} The android thought to itself as he watches his creator and Master gives a long-winded speech on what its name the unit should come to be known as.
"*-so then! It should be Error! Because you are to rid the Multiverse of errors! And fix errors and patch errors-" This unit- no Error's Master told him.
[*identifier confirmed. this unit is -error-.] Th- Error told his Master, looking down at how small the skeleton was.
From what Error had managed to piece together, his Master was a skeleton-based of another skeleton called -Sans- and so was the android...
...why was Error much taller than his Master?
The android pulls up the database concerning -Sans- and discovered that Sans was actually shorter than Error, yet taller than his Master.
Compensating for something...
Error tries not to snort at his own line of thoughts.
[*master. what is error's operating parameters? please state and confirm.] Error questions causes his Master, whom he now know was called -Ink- from his vast database.
"*Oh! Yes! Okay! First, you are to maintain the Multiverse's balance." Master Ink told him with a happy grin, "Instructions on how to do this is in your database. Duties include deleting viruses. Virus ridden universes that can't be saved. Also very important, don't let the universe cross the streams. Delete those ones fast. Also patch and updates..."
Master Ink pauses as if he had forgotten something, then shaking his skull smiles brightly.
[*this unit -error- shall maintain the balance of the multiverse. confirmed.] Error says from his place in the workshop, still in a metal box which his database told him it reminded him of a coffin, [please state additional parameters.]
"*...just er...obey your programme. And me." Master Ink told him with a blank expression, "You are unbelievably strong. So you must never go against your setting. I don't want the multiverse doomed."
[*this unit -error- shall never go against the programme. shall always obey my master. conformed.] Error replies to his Master who grins boldly at his words, [please state additional parameters.]
"*Nothing I can think of!" Master Ink says throwing his arms into the air, "That's all! You'll follow me around until you are settled into your new post!"
[*conf-] Error began but suddenly Master Ink's hand was in his face.
"*Wait! I remember!" Master Ink cries out quickly, "You have to make sure you don't get killed! It took me fifty years of intense studying to learn about this stuff and it took me another thirty years to build you!"
[*this unit- error- shall ensure self-preservation. confirmed.] Error answers with a nod, [please st-]
"*Nope! That's it!" Master Ink says laughing out loud, "Come on! Start moving! This has already taken too long!"
