Oh my. How vicious. It seemed that even momentary contact with a being such as Ulysses was enough to drive a rational, kind scientist into a spiteful being that seeks only to make too-subtle jabs at the Fire Titan. Averus smiled slightly, wondering whether this was the true reason behind the 'inhuman' avatar of the scientist: to prevent others from seeing all the facial gestures he makes when he speaks. What was more interesting though, was a little piece of information regarding Delphia's emotional state.

She had emotions, but for some reason, she can't manifest them. Her learning capacity is high, which is probably something that they confirmed early on through alpha and beta tests. Yet still...why would a highly intelligent AI be unable to replicate the emotions of humans, and instead stay almost absolutely indifferent to her environment? And more importantly...how is this a 'Research' mission for the champions themselves, when they were pretty much just asked to go out on a playdate with Delphia? Not that Averus personally minded hanging out with some youngsters, but still, when he heard 'nigh-universal', he was expecting something more interesting. Like a sentient bug in the system that has the potential to bring the entirety of Agar Mythos crashing down.

Ignoring the antics of Koemi and her talking crow, Averus decided that, with such a ridiculous combination of three dimensional surveillance and titanic firepower, the group should be able to enjoy their date for as long as possible. Even though it's pretty damn obvious that they're protecting Delphia.

As he followed the group, with Beringer starting the not-so mandatory introductions between the team, Averus said, flicking a few strands of hair in a way that mimicked a certain American 19th century movie star, [b]“Well, all you kiddies should know who I am by now, but I'm Averus Horo, the Archivor Ever-Present. And Koemi, if we really do have a malicious stalker lusting after Delphia, it might be more helpful if you didn't make your surveillance cameras so obvious. Something should be said about subtlety, yes?”[/b]

With that, he started up his 'personal' surveillance system, not for anything nearby, or even for the sake of the Research mission, but for his job of recording every mission and event that occurs in Agar Mythos. He lifted the frayed ends of his scarf, placed one of those miniature screens to each, and then enjoyed himself as all the sensory information flowed into his mind. Then, for the sake of focusing, he isolated himself from that, and continued onwards.

Ulysses was taking quite a liking towards their little doll, it appeared, and Averus called out, [b]“Oh, by the way, Ulysses, mind bringing Delphie down for a bit? I need to take her measurements and such, for...personal purposes.”[/b]
