I Can't Believe It's Not Spaaaaaace!

So, what were the odds of a new visitor falling from the sky?

Because that's exactly what's happening here. The only warning is a panicked screaming from above before a limbless robot sphere drops in from out of nowhere and crashes into a conveniently placed couch.

"AAAGH!" The robot's optic darts about as he tries to get some sense of where he is. "What? Is this space? I mean, of course this isn't space, looks like it. But then again, I honestly have no idea where I am."

Talkative, ain't he?

"How did I even get here without getting smashed up and dying?!"

No dropping today, thankfully! Instead, the sofa is thankfully sturdy and should seat Wheatley securely. Ice Bear takes a chair across from the robot, paws resting in his lap calmly.

"Yes. Ice Bear visits the Nexus from time to time. Multi-dimensional hub where people gather." A small tilt of his head. "Where did Wheatley come from? Do you need Ice Bear's help?"

[literalidiotball]

Yay. Just what a core needs.

"Multi dimensional- Wait, did I fall through a portal? They have portals in space?!" He blinks in surprise before realizing, "I didn't see a portal to here though, kind of weird. Also, I don't know if they developed portal technology to other worlds yet. Maybe they will?"

He rambles a lot. It's normal.

"... Oh! Right, I don't actually come from space. I was just kind of stuck up there for a while after this massive accident. Don't ask." It's embarrassing. "I'm actually from this research facility called Aperture Science. Have you heard of it?"

Wheatley gets a soft pat on the top of his round body with one paw. It's very clear that the bear likes having a non-human companion right now.

"Possibly. Could be a tear in your dimension that brought you here." He shrugs his shoulders. "Maybe. Ice Bear knows about PINpoints. Uses teleportation technology to go places."

The rambling doesn't bother Ice in the slightest. His two brothers talk a lot, after all.

"Okay. Ice Bear hasn't heard of Aperture Science. Must not exist where Ice Bear is from. Did you work for them?"

[literalidiotball]

Why are you hitting him softly he isn't sure what to think.

"PIN-points? Uh? Not sure what you're talking about, but yes I did work there for a while. Not the best job in the world. Had to tend to all the smelly humans- No offense, if any of your friends are human or anything- But then I had one gig where I helped manage the facility that did not go well... But yeah. Ended up in space after a freak accident. Been there ever since."

Friendly pettings, to say the least. He's almost treating the robot like a pet. Something must be off with this bear.

"Humans are smelly, especially ones that ride the bus." Ewww. Thankfully, Ice Bear is all about being clean and neat. "Are you trying to get back to space then? Is Wheatley broken?" Because, let's face it, he's never met a robot that can't move on their own. "Might be hard to get home from the Nexus."
