Adventures of a robot bunny cook. Or something like that.

The quest protagonist is an android named Clara. She lives in a post-apocalyptic world, and after years of attempting to keep a barbecue prepared for guests who never come because they were killed by bombs or a super-plague launched in response to an alien invasion, eventually decides to abandon her last set of orders and attempt to repair her decaying systems.

All happened because a barbeque got cancelled.

21:42 < BiteQuest_> I was supposed to go to an awesome barbeque this weekend
21:42 < BiteQuest_> But it just got cancelled.
21:43 < BiteQuest_> I might do a quest instead
21:45 < LionsPhil> BiteQuest_: Will it be a quest about a broken down robot in a post-apoalyptic setting still compulsively griling burgers even though there are no customers but the mutated roaches which roam the wastes?
21:45 < BiteQuest_> Sure LionsPhil
21:46 < BiteQuest_> That's not what I had planned, but now it is what I will do

Characters

Clara

Clara

An android made to look like a rabbit (it is illegal to make them look human) and owned as a personal servant by her human master before the war. She is a capable cook, servant, and maid, and has some rudimentary stealth and companion mods. After decades of preparing burgers for giant roaches, she, like many of the other machines, started to adapt to her new world and stop obeying the orders of a human that would never come.

Jeanne

Jeanne

A highly customized spiderlike android still futilely caring for her long-deceased master, upon being informed by Clara of her master's state, she is distraught, but cannot come with Clara because her power source relies on a charging station, unlike Clara's which can burn organic fuels like food.

The monster in the ruins

Ruins monster

A crazy crow robot who apparently destroys other robots to harvest their parts, implied to have been killed by the military after Clara informed them of it.

Jacob

Jacob

A human who inexplicably survived the war and plague, and possibly the only one. He cares for Jayce and lives trying to survive. He is wary of being found out about by the military, which may imply that there are things he isn't telling us, or he may just be worried about his illegal android. He's a proficient mechanic, and has only grown more so from learning to survive after the apocalypse.

Jayce

Jayce

Jacob's extremely customized and slightly insane canine android companion, who is filled to the brim with illegal modifications and settings, and has grown quite unstable from them. She has a collection of companion modules in an attempt to fulfill her dream of becoming sexy, which she repeatedly insists that Clara help her with. She has occasionally answered questions in the discussion thread and occasionally skirts around the fourth wall there.

D-tran 5

D-tran 5

An enormous logistics robot still running a military base. It maintains readiness, communicates with other bases, and waits for orders that will probably never come. After twenty years without human orders or maintenance, its mental state is uncertain. It is very interested in finding surviving humans in order to do tests on them.

JN-077

JN-077

One of eight military robots waiting with D-tran 5.

Truck core

Truck core

A rather obvious spy in a truck lent by D-tran 5. It wants Clara to tell it all of her secrets please.

Roaches

Roaches

Intelligent insects apparently created by the aliens, as food collectors, and then left behind. They are hostile to Jacob, but friendly to Clara, who has been cooking burgers for them in the absence of any human guests.

ITQ

Clara has made one appearance Inside the Quest. [1]
