[i]Holding hands is good. I would like to hold hands with EVE Unit T-1138HX someday, if she would let me.

Hmm, that’s strange. There is a discrepancy in my chronometer, I seem to be missing a couple hundred ticks. How did I get back on Earth? I don’t remember leaving the Axiom. Where is EVE Unit T-1138HX, is that her in front of me?[/i]

“Evaah?”

It is her, and she’s. . . holding hands with me!

“Evaah!”

That was great! :smiley: I loved the T1138-X part. :laughing: But it all sounded so realistic. It’s like i was listening to a friendly Blue Screen of Death. :smiley:

Wow. What an interesting, first-person view… I love the way you described this incident. Very touching. Nice work!

Ha-ha. “Unit T-1138HX”. :smiley:

Note: You may want to forewarn your readers that spoilers are included in your story. Just a “heads up”!

Wow great wat to start where the movie ended…is there more cuz if there is reader here.

#5

Wow, the beginning seemed so…robotic (in a good way). Wall-E’s thoughts are expressed well; I guess he’s not a robot of few words after all. Good job. :slight_smile: Is there more, though?

#6

Nope. Reboot is simply a look at WALL-E’s internals during that moment by his truck at the end of the film. What I’ve written and posted stands on its own.

#7

aww…you mean its over?

oh well it was really good.

Well done…

ChrisBradford - I hope you don’t mind, but I added a “spoiler warning” tag to the beginning of your first post. It is possible that some users and visitors of this forum board have not yet seen the film (WALL-E), hence the fore-warning.

My apologies for adding the tag, but I wouldn’t want any spoiler content to ruin any fellow members’ theatrical experience. :wink:

That little story is awesome, ChrisBradford! =)

How did you come up with the idea to write WALL•E internal dialogue like that? That’s very clever. I like the contradiction between the robotic-ness of his dialogue and the him wanting to want to hold EVE’s hand. Well done.

( Sorry for the delay in replying.)
I’ve worked with computers before, and I thought it logical that there would be at least three layers of redundancy in WALL-E’s design. If the neural network is incapacitated in some way, I’m sure that some hard-wired programming would take charge during the emergency.

His dialog is in two parts, the first represents the self-diagnostics program, and the second is his re-configured neural net.

This is one of my favorite stories. It’s so original. The geekiness of it is so delicious, haha. Awesome job.

#12

Over so soon? Do you think you could write more? :question: :smiley: :question:

Ooh, clever idea! I’ve never seen somebody fit a robot’s thought process this steadfast and still have it so easy to comprehend.That’s hard to do. ^^
