Here and now, where ever that is.

The curious case of Iason Hassanov

2009-07-27T08:01:00.000-07:00

how I am making contact with you, I am not for sure, but I will tell my tale while I can. I was touring in my airship along Caledon Prime, when all of a sudden, I was struck by a front of lagstorms the like I have never seen! My systems stopped and I went offline. When my optics came back online, I could not see. I could hear voices, but not much else. Im frozen so it seems.

going home

2008-06-28T17:34:00.000-07:00

After many cycles and much what I have come to know as "worry" I have made my
choice to go back to my homeland. All my letters have gone unanswered. The parcels
I have been recieving are months and months old, some even having dates before my
assignment. I will miss my friends and my new home, but this must be done. I will
make sure the rabbits and elephant have enough food. It is not naural for the house to
be silent this long. I only hope that everything is alright.

yours

New pictures from home!

the hassanov forward observation unit is able to

monitor movement from several locations and

angles at one time. Basic computations can be

processed by the unit or transmitted back to a

base unit via wireless radio!

The hassanov foundry unit(posed next to a pride filled
senior engineer) is able to withstand tempatures well above
any human operator. It posesses a simple speech unit and
specially shielded vision systems. Its joints are specially
re-enforced to allow it to carry up to 8 tonnes! Unit options are
various, including several hand attachments and upgradeable
power transmission system.

I got a few more crates from headquarters and additional blueprints. I am hoping
that soon I perhaps could go back and report my findings first hand. Even though I
dont have many memories of homeland, I do wish to see it again and take pictures
for my friends!

parade pictures!

parade time!

2008-02-08T23:09:00.000-08:00

the first annual mardi gras parade was a complete, if not lag filled, success...its simply amazing when people come together for a common good and make something great!
pictures will come up soon!

Field testing of the MK8 steam marching seige engine was a success. I met with some resistance with a local pirate fishbowl machine. what a fine design! I think the decking must have been an artillery deck, so I loaded my own piece just in case of a salute...I couldnt Immagine how rude it would be to not respond in kind...I also presented the newcomer to some wood fuel..but he didnt seemed intersted in polite com. He barked a rude call to me and I responded with "HELLO THERE" and offered some tree fuel. After swingin the oak branch of peace, I was quick to find that was somewhat unstable as he collasped onto my frame, I tried to help him out, and the feed him some oak fuel. I am afraid I dont understand the customs so well yet, so I will just have to continue to learn. I somehow ruptured a steam line, so I chose to just return and explore again another day.

tag...but not for sale

2007-12-06T20:32:00.000-08:00

A game has been tossed at me
I'll answer the 8...but I am having a hard time to find people that havent been grabbed yet!

The rules of tagging are simple, and as follows.
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog

but to add a bit of fun, I'll mix the list of my rl..and sl..or both

1)I was once offered a job in an embassy
2)I make custom jewelry
3)I once shot a cannon at a river vessel
4)I prefer Newcastle coal over any others
5)my heart was broken once, and it took traveling across 2 oceans to realize it
6)my home decor style was once described as....the smithsonian threw up
7)I consume at least 2L of water a day
8)raises Koi carp

Im gonna tag people tomorrow

snowfall and other magic

2007-12-03T18:28:00.000-08:00

It is winter time now!

The tower is coming along nicely...I hope to have it done in the next few weeks

I was skating with miss Rothschild and met a squirrel!

how excellent ice skating is!...it is like very scary at first, but once I was sure I wasnt going to fall through the ice I enjoyed it much more!

The massing of stones

2007-11-10T09:39:00.000-08:00

I have learned alot about building. I dont understand what exactly I am building, but so far it is very tall, and very gear filled. The boilers are running a full power and right now the feed for the gaslights has been engaged to fire upon dusk. the gearwork, is impressive to say the least. I expect it has something to do with rotations. My only hope is to see the royal train pull into the station, the crest emblasioned on the engine, and the Czar king himself walk out and give approval. Looking at the shipping information, I discoveredthe shipments were sent months ago. It puzzles me of such a long laps in reponce, but I it my duty to serve, and not to question.

I have land in caledon!

After much negoitation and careful searching I finally have a land base to bring forth the offering from the house storehouses. I am sure the entirity of caledon has never witnessed such an invention! This shipment, which sadly was just strewn across the property like so

much boxes, Im still going through to inventory, but I did locate the instructions for assembly

of some excellent new developments and some much needed upgrades to my current frame

also some frames were sent!

mounted on a steam mammoth, I think this would be unstoppable!

The royal cousins in the Monocar!....how exciting!

the tri wheeled rapid agressor.............looks very bouncy

the new model bt hexitank

I'm very happy to announce I even have re-made contacts with several old autoton aquaintances.

Miss Rothschild is back, and after a bit of repair, is even had an upgrade! The night of her return

I met up with some other autotons. Madam Projects has had undergone upgrades too!..

the automat population is on the rise!!

today I am proud to report that I have taken recievership of the hassanov armored water transport. It have a superior lead glass observation deck and the hull appears to be very sturdy. The boilers are in need of some work, and I expect to have them working shortly.

This is what it must feel like when humans say they are floating on air when they dance. Due to frame differences, when me and miss rothschild dance I support her with my arms. When first we met, she expressed concern about our dancing. I assured her that I am rated to lift over 4000lbs and that would not be a problem to dance with her. For her rez day, which I assume is when she was activated, I presented her some "kitty-cats" I found in africa. She wanted a pet suited for a young lady and I had to get train the full size cat(it kept biting people).

"TO THE GLORY OF THE HOUSE OF HASSANOV"

begin transcript.

This is the internal mologmatic transcription of Unit 762, and my line has been given the honor to take the name of the oldest son, Iason. I have been told that It is common to give lines names of the favorite sons of the Empire. I was told that Czar Hassanov himself smiled upon the news of my activation. I am recording the events of my function as it might hopefully help fellow units adapt to the world of the organics. I am attached to a unit of lancers and am occasionally attached to the army of Caledon. I wish to pass along my learning of the organics to the new line upcoming. I will update this monologue until my termination. I have already learned much about organic life. They have no tolerance to high degree of tempature differences and cannot function without oxygen for extend times. They are affected by mustard gasses and are not shell fragment, bullet, or blade resistant. They form connections socially to which I yet do not understand the depth of. Much like honeybees, they dance and produce various various pheremones that influence their behaviors. While basically chemically same, their forms take on many forms. I will report on this as time progresses.

The house has provided me with basic information of the topography and basic defence parameters of the land of Caledon, but its residents are to a greater part; a mystery. I am to report that I have encountered a fellow autoton, One Miss Rothschild. She is a clockwork construct and appears to have a much better grasp on the behavior of organics than I do. I hope upon repeated converstions that she teaches me as much as she knows. I find the time we spend together is what I have come to learn what is "enjoyable" I have issued her a Hassanov issue pepperbox revolver in case of invasion of foreign powers. She will also accept Elephant in case I am rendered inoperable. I have included a plate of her and I, albeit out of uniform, but in a civil relations mission.

I am also reporting that the repeating gun, steam mammoth, and seige gun are all in working order and I am sure when the shipment containing the rest of the Marching Seige Engine(which miss Rothschild has given a name of "bigger brothers") that they will be a fine addition to the Hassanov Military Force.
