[Honestly, a text post would've sufficed enough, but perhaps for the context of this post, a video might be a bit more beneficial. So you get a blue robot staring at the screen pensively.]

Ah, greetings, Wonderland, this is Turing. I'm here to inquire about something...

I have noticed that some of the past events I have experienced throughout my time here has had some element of combat thrown into the mix, so to speak. Not all of them mind you, just some. Just this past event, you all saw it, all of those ogres, ice giants and dark elves storming into the mansion, and you must have also saw a multitude of the guests here fighting back. I, unfortunately, was unable to lend a hand in that time of crisis, solely because I have had no combat experience myself.

I may be sapient, but I am still a ROM, or I suppose a robot in layman's terms. I don't specifically exist to assist, but there's still a voice in the back of my mind urging me to help out however possible. If, in Wonderland, this means that I must become skilled in some weaponry or combat techniques, then so be it.

So, I'm posting this video as a call for suggestions and help: I am interested in learning how to properly defend myself and protect others while I am here in Wonderland. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Getting into specifics...I'd like to be skilled in ranged weaponry, say, a laser pistol, for example. My partner, Alys, was given a laser pistol to use in case of emergencies back where I come from, and they were able to use it with relative ease.

I will take any and all suggestions into account. Thank you for your time.

[Turing smiles right back!]

That would be excellent, Commander. Even if you don't have experience teaching, you still have experience with weaponry, and I'd say that's more than enough.

Indeed, I liked the pistol that I used while I was at the Citadel, at it was similar to the laser pistol my friend used back home. Using more lightweight weapons would most likely be of the best use to me due to my stature.

That's pretty easy to work with. I could train you on one of my guns, since I've got a submachine here, but it probably wouldn't translate well to more readily available weaponry. Pretty sure you're gonna wanna start with your standard glock or revolver.

[Frankly, the lack of electronics in the 21st century ones are gonna be weird, but they're all still point-and-shoot. How hard can it be?]

We can figure it out together.

That's understandable. I probably shouldn't mess around with the more technical and complicated weaponry without learning the basics first. I'm sure I can find a revolver...well, I suppose the magical closet could give me one, if all else fails.

[Well, that's a sentence Turing never expected to say.]

Thank you, Commander, for your continued help. I appreciate it, truly!

Yeah, I think the closets will give you generic weaponry. If you need specific names or are looking for a model type, let me know. I'm sure I can get it to pull something more finessed.

[For them, she figures maybe a pistol of some kind. Revolvers are usually harder to hold, even if they do look cooler.]

But no problem. Just stay safe, alright? They are still weapons.

Ah, noted. If I come across any sort of weaponry that I feel that I must get my hands on, I'll let you know as soon as possible.

[They then nod.]

Of course. My guard will be up the entire time I'm practicing, don't you worry.

Of course. I trust you'll be careful.

[They were plenty cautious at the Citadel, and those were fake.]

Hit me up whenever you'd like.
