Munin’s eyes opened.
A quick diagnostic confirmed that Munin was whole and functioning normally, clothed in the same plain kimono that it always wore. With that confirmation, Munin activated its senses, beginning processes to interact and know the world around it, where it had begun it's operation.
The first thing that it sensed was the cold. A metallic cold, one that radiated from all around it. The second thing it sensed was the light. Green in colouration, reflecting from the metal in front of it. The third thing it sensed was the gentle press against its shoulder. A turn of Munin’s head brought it into view, a strange little crystal that glowed with an inner light. Munin reached up and took hold of it, bringing it into clear view in front of it. It was cut simply, a hedron that glowed with a light that seemingly radiated from its centre, the latticework within containing something generating that light. A quick check with spiritual senses felt a tinge of… something. It was unlike anything Munin had sensed before, like it was a miniature being. Not Plus, not Shinigami, and even unlike itself, it felt like a tattered cloth while the others Munin had compared it to were whole. It didn’t feel sentient, not even the slightest fluttering that was symptomatic of a being. Rather, it radiated with a glow that was perfectly preserved by the crystal structure.
Munin gently held it, careful to not press on it too much. While the hedron was likely resistant to physical pressure it was not invincible, and too much pressure could potentially cause it to shatter. Aside from that, Munin needed to get out of this container. The metallic container was seemingly made of iron, likely too strong for Munin to simply force open. Munin's eyes, adjusted to make the most of the pale green light, quickly swept the container and spotted a small button placed at the top right of it. No label gave away its function, but it was unlikely to do anything bad. A quick press, and Munin smiled as it heard a soft 'hiss' as the air rushed from the container. A soft push against the container's front, and it collapsed and fell before Munin to reveal a room.
It glowed with spotlights, the entire room flooded with light that forced Munin's eyes to close while it adjusted to the sheer volume of light. Having adjusted, Munin stepped out to see the strange residence, filled with strange devices that had no apparent function. At the far end of the room their was a console, a massive computer interface made as part of the wall, while four tables symmetrically divided the room, leaving a small walkway where Munin's container sat. Glancing behind the container brought a cold wall into view, the same that encircled the entire room. No apparent entrance or exit was visible, though the fact that there was air meant that it had been exposed to the atmosphere at least at some point. Whether it had ventilation was not important, as Munin did not require oxygen to survive. Wires spread across the room, each of the devices tied to the main console, with the main console no doubt functioning as the main processor for all of them.
Each of the four tables held a different device, each of which Munin looked over and examined.
The first was a smaller computer with a strange attachment. The screen was active, the display showing nothing but a simple blue. There was no interface safe for what appeared to be a microphone that was embedded into the computer's structure. The attachment itself was unusual, akin to some kind of port, but nothing in Munin's records seemed to work with it, except... Munin took out the hedron, glancing at it and the attachment carefully. It seemed that the hedron would fit perfectly into the port. A quick series of calculations told Munin to avoid doing that unless factors changed. An unknown device could do virtually anything, and Munin wasn't about to use the hedron for just anything.
The second device appeared to sample the air. A small display confirmed the status of the room's atmosphere: within normal parameters for Earth's atmosphere. It wasn't surprising, Munin's controllers wouldn't activate it in an area they couldn't access safely. It did seem odd however, as the device was larger than traditional samplers. Perhaps it was attempting to sample something more or with more precision? Munin couldn't know without taking the device apart, and Munin wasn't willing to take the risk that it might be important. Reassembly was not an issue, Munin's memory and hand-eye coordination were more than enough to put this sort of device together (with the proper plans).
The third device appeared to be a small power plant, generating power for the entire room. A quick check with Munin's senses confirmed that it was using a similar technology to Munin's own. Munin smiled as it glanced over it, no other function obvious from a visual inspection. It was larger than Munin's own power source, but the principles were the same. This secondarily confirmed that Munin was in of the three realms, rather than in Dangai or some unknown location. If Munin was able to leave the room, Munin would easily be able to return to the Seiretei (if it wasn't already there).
The fourth was the most unusual device.
It was a humanoid figure, with pink hair and a black kimono.
It was Munin.
