[When the portal opened and monsters started pouring in, Lambda...didn't care much at all, really. They weren't affecting her daily life, so what need did she have to get involved? There would be no benefit to doing so, as far as she could tell, so beyond staying armored at all times as a precaution she made no changes to her typical routine and went about her life in the Gardens as she had since her arrival.]

[That had all gone well enough—until today. Today, when she ventures out to gather something to eat, she winds up being accosted by a harpy, and, as tends to happen when belligerent monsters meet with trigger-happy robots, this run in quickly devolves into a fight.]

[And rushed though her construction may have been, Lambda is still a very formidable opponent. After a somewhat one-sided clash, Lambda using those energy blades she summons to keep her opponent at bay, the harpy turns and flees. When that happens, Lambda pauses as though considering, and then—]

...Pursuing target.

[And off she goes, intending to chase that monster down until one or both of them are dead... Unless someone intervenes or otherwise distracts her, that is.]

[ ooc: For a better idea of the way Lambda fights, see here, particularly after about a minute and a half in. I will also be ever-so-slowly tagging back the threads in the fishing log. Thanks for your patience! ]

[Unfortunately, Lambda is the type to continue attacking a target even after it's been incapacitated. Any fight is a fight to kill for her. Still, it's not hard to calm her down in some ways—with the monster out of sight, she's almost forgotten entirely.]

A target's threat level is determined by additional factors besides aggression.

...Really? Uh, like--what? I mean, if it's not hurting anyone, then what's so bad?

Other factors include the scope and severity of damage any weapons or abilities it possesses have the potential to cause.

[mnementomori]

Oh, so you're worried she'll hurt other people?

[cobbledtogether.livejournal.com]

[Well, that's not exactly how Lambda would describe her concern, but...]

Yes.

[mnementomori]

Oh...okay. That makes sense. [she looks around, but the harpy isn't anywhere she can see.]

I'm--sorry, I stopped you...
