"Peculiar..." The Android known as Patchwork made something of an understatement as he scanned the recently terraformed mountain in front of him, blue beams flickering about and feeding his mind information about the makeup of the structure. How material that had once been ice and snow was now sugar-dense whipped cream and iced confectionary. A most peculiar circumstance, and one he was deeply curious about. He had no idea of the source of this sudden change. It was likely not natural as his databanks had no precedent for Mountains suddenly terraforming themselves. Yet he also struggled to fathom how this could've been an undertaking of Earth's people either. It had happened quickly, he imagined, otherwise he was sure he would've heard about the undertaking. Which means that it was too fast for conventional methods of construction. Furthermore it wasn't as if confectionary had been lumped onto the mountain, rather that the mountain itself had become confectionary. What a peculiar circumstance.
He finished taking scans for a moment and his oculars returned to their usual yellow colour. He looked around the mountain, noticing significantly more visitors than there had been before this great change. Perhaps it was indeed some kind of ploy for tourism and the government simply had terraforming methods unknown to him, but he didn't really feel satisfied with that answer.
He wouldn't get to ponder on it much longer as his audial receptors picked up the sound of something rolling through the sugary powder and whipped cream before gently impacting his boot and falling still. Some kind of disc...or small plate? It had seemingly rolled through a bit of chocolate sauce on its way down.
Curiously, the Android bent down and picked up the small token, attempting to wipe it clean with his scrap hand but only really accomplishing the act of smearing the chocolate sauce along its surface. It was an old looking piece, that warranted study, he wanted to scan it, but he was confused about how it had just rolled down here on its own.
Briefly, he looked around for a potential owner, little did he know was how...suddenly he was going to meet them.
