@TheLoadingGorilla Neither do I, honestly.

@Graingy I don’t think dust and wind could move that guy though... I don’t know what to think honestly

@TheLoadingGorilla What?
Yeah, I dunno what to say about that.
Some geobrains can by leveraging the environment, though usually that's only on the much smaller end of things. For example, I can use static electric effects to hoist myself along air currents with dust.

I've never met any rock-like creatures that make noise...

Can Geobrains move?

@Graingy I’m home and... it's gone. There's a weird silvery-grey power left in the area where it was sitting. I honestly don’t know what to think... I guess it doesn't matter now that it isn't in my backyard...

@TheLoadingGorilla Grumble? That's odd. Probably wildlife, since I know of no geobrain which can make audible noises like that. At least, not in that size range.

@Graingy I’ll let you know if anything changes when I get home

@Graingy I mentioned you and the buzzing stopped. I was about to walk away when it made a weird grumble noise. I didn’t have time to check it out though because I had to go to my piano lessons

@TheLoadingGorilla Any luck?

@Graingy oh ok thanks

@TheLoadingGorilla Grain Guy.
Grain isn't the word 'grain'; it's pronounced "Grah-in".

@Graingy hmmm alright. Your name is just Grain right? Or do you have a title? Possibly a last name? I don’t know about mars or Geobrains but on earth nearly all the humans I meet have something they deem special to identify themselves as, like “Jake Miller” or “Dr. Jones”. (Also, is it just pronounced Grain or is it pronounced differently?)

@TheLoadingGorilla Hm. Honestly sounds a lot like me, just larger. Maybe I have a supersize doppelganger I didn't know about?
Anyways, it probably won't do anything, but maybe mention that you know me?
I'm moderately well-known in the Geobrain world due to my ties to the government of the Martian Union (which is one of the most prominent Geobrain polities).
That doesn't guarantee they'll understand, or respond, but it's worth a shot.
I'm reasonably confident that they're a Geobrain based off your description, if that's worth anything.

@Graingy oh interesting. It hasn't made any noise other than the buzzing though...

I don’t know how big these guys get but it's about 1 and a quarter of an inch tall and 2 (ish) inches long (one end is pointier than the other so it's hard to measure exactly without touching it). It's kinda cube-ish but the non pointy end's edges are kinda rounded I asked a few questions but it hasn't said anything. It's pretty scratched all over, and it's just sitting on the retaining wall outside my window. No idea how long it's been there. Pointy end is facing the window... still buzzing

Mars, for instance, has not insubstantial populations speaking English, Russian, French, and, increasingly, Chinese dialects (though this is still somewhat uncommon).

@TheLoadingGorilla If they do speak, it's highly possible it won't be English. Do keep that in mind.

@Graingy oh dang. Alright lemme get a better look at it...

@TheLoadingGorilla Might as well check them out; after all, they're in your backyard.
If they don't talk, see if you can get any more details about them. I might be able to tell you where they're from.
Just be sure that you do not touch them. Geobrains often contain and control enormous voltages and can give you a nasty (if not outright fatal) zap should they feel threatened. Of course, that takes a lot of energy so it's hardly desirable as the first resort, but you'd best not take that chance regardless.

@Graingy yeah

@TheLoadingGorilla You're on Earth in the Tumour, correct?
(The Tumour being the pocket dimension where all this "SP" stuff is.)

I guess it could just be a rock but that buzzing has me puzzled... maybe someone is playing a prank on me by putting some tiny speaking inside a rock to make it buzz

@Graingy there are some rather large crevices... still making that buzzing noise... I don’t want to brother it if it is alive but I don’t know what it's doing in my backyard
