"Talk"

'Thought'
_____________
A random deer could be seen in the middle of the forest, gently grazing and eating the grass on the ground. As it was minding its own business as it continues to eat, a stick broke off from a tree and fell on the ground in front of the deer, startling the innocent animal. Unfortunately, the deer only had enough time to see over a few dozen mechanical spiders with red glowing eyes before letting out a loud screeching sound as they all pounce and swarm the poor animal. Once these machine spiders were on the deer, they quickly wasted no time using needles and metal strings to sew up the limbs of the animal together to keep it from running away. After it was properly secure and unable to escape, all the techno critters worked together to pick up their prize and take it away somewhere. And that somewhere was the familiar factory itself. Though, from the looks of it, the place seemed to be in the middle of being fixed and remodeled, judging from all the other and different kind of machines that seemed to be busy with fixing the place up. However, the spider machines seemed to just ignore it all and simply brought their catch inside the building. More specifically, bringing it to the Fabrication Machine, who was currently making more life from pure technology. It looked like some kind of butler droid of clockwork this time. The Fabrication Machine then paused with her work when she noticed the critters coming up to her and offering up the deer to her, which she accepted, using one of her many claws to pick up the animal and held it in front of her big red eye, which carefully looked deeply into the animals own optics, which was filled with fear as the deer continued to struggle more to break free. The Talisman that she has quickly opened up before the deer, the animal only had a moment or two to process what it was seeing, before three green beams of light shot out and went into the eyes and mouth of the deer, such a lime glow was so bright that it lit up the entire area, including the watch room that the entirety of Team RWBY were sleeping in. A few were bothered by the glow, but they just continue to sleep and try to ignore it, unaware what was even going on. Luckily, it didn't last long, as the Talisman stopped and closed back up, allowing for the Fabrication Machine to wake back up and open her eyes to see a now limp and seemingly lifeless deer, which didn't effect or bothered her at all, in fact, she instantly changed her attention back to the butler droid she was making, and after a bit more tune up, it suddenly turned on and looked ready to serve. And once the butler droid was activated, the Fabrication Machine simply placed the animal in the servant robot arms, nodding in immediate understanding and walking away to do what it was programmed to do, leaving its creator alone and allowing her to continue to create even more robotic life, with no one there to stop her…

"So what should we do about the big robot?"

A few hours later, all of Team RWBY could be seen wide awake and enjoying a freshly prepared meal together, which had been prepared and served by a few butler droids standing before their respective masters; something they couldn't help but be amazed and extremely grateful for.

"Well we should most definitely report this back to our professors, this is such a great finding after all."

While eating breakfast, they were all engaged in a pleasant conversation with one another; Weiss Schnee was responding and replying to the question that Yang Xiao Long had just asked.

"I don't think we should, at least not right now."

Wearing a thoughtful frown, Blake ate the meat and drank juice made from fresh fruits; even so, she couldn't help but think about their situation.

"Are you saying we should keep this a secret from everyone?"

Ruby couldn't help but tilt her head; she was a bit confused as to why her teammate would suggest keeping it a secret.

"I don't understand why we should, this isn't a simple small thing we can keep hidden like some kind of unwanted pet, it's a large machine contained in an even larger factory, someone will find out about this, with or without us saying anything."

Weiss also didn't understand, and even disagreed with what Belladonna just said about what they should do.

"I know that, but we need to be careful with who we tell this to, because if we reveal this robot to the wrong person, or worse, if the White Fangs found out about this, well, you can already imagine what I'm getting at."

Everyone couldn't help but suddenly look at the Fabrication Machine, as they watched her continue to create more and more mechanical life, ranging from simple small robots to something much more complicated, and also remembering all the old weapons they had passed by yesterday; the girls shivered at the thought, as they were starting to understand what Blake was talking about.

"Ok, then what should we do then? Like what Weiss said, it will only be a matter of time until someone finds out about this giant machine, do you have any plans until then?"

When Yang asked her faunus partner this, she couldn't help but shake her head no, despite her objections about telling anyone, she didn't have anything better in mind; this left the whole team in silence, unable to properly find the solution for this predicament that they were in.

"... Let's worry about something else for now, ok?"

Ruby quickly suggested that they should think about this problem later, as it was not the right time for discussion at the moment.

"Like what?"

Weiss was curious as to what her hooded partner had in mind for them to discuss next.

"HEY NEW FRIEND!"

However, what the Schnee, and her other teammates, weren't expecting was for Ruby to suddenly yell out to the Fabrication Machine, which definitely startled them. Once she called out to the creative technology, however, the large mechanical life stopped what it was doing and came over to the team, looking at them all with its big red glowing eye. This definitely made most of them shiver in slight fear.

"Do you have a name?"

Ruby, the only one less afraid, asked the Fabrication Machine if it had a name, which it shook its electrified head no.

"There we go, that's what we can focus on next~"

Ruby looked back at her group of friends with an innocent, cute smile; they looked back at her with tilted heads and raised eyebrows.

"Give it a name?"

Weiss said it slowly, as if checking if she heard her right.

"Well it would be rude just to keep calling it a, well, 'It', we can do better than that."

Ruby provided her simple reasoning for why she was making this suggestion.

"Does it even want a name?"

Blake, while not seeing the harm in it, was still wondering if they should even do it.

"Hey? Do you want a name, we can give you one if you like?"

Yang decided to just ask the Fabrication Machine herself, which she did by making what looked like a thinking pose, before looking back and giving them all a nod, indicating her acceptance of their offer.

"Well, there's your answer."

Yang shrugged, seeming fine with it after receiving the OK from the Fabrication Machine.

"I guess there's nothing wrong with it, so no harm in doing it."

Blake, not particularly fussed on the naming thing either way, so wasn't bothered either way.

"But even so, what kind of name should we give the machine?"

Weiss was still somewhat hesitant, feeling as if she had been given a very large responsibility and wasn't sure she could handle it all of a sudden being trusted with it.

"Hmmm~…."

Ruby let out a long sigh, as she already began to think of a name that would fit perfectly for the Fabrication Machine, to which she looked at said machine, as well as everything around her, closely, in hopes to gain some kind of inspiration in the final decision for her name, which seemed to work somewhat, the more she looked at things around her, like the living machine tools, the robots that she created, the upgrades of her weapons, EVERYTHING, it was enough for her to think of a name that she found fitting, she looked back at the Fabrication Machine and gave her a bright, big smile.

"How about, Creati?"
____________________
So should they or should they not tell anyone about the Fabrication Machine? Also now named as Creati, what you pick will change the story heavily.

(BTW, keep in mind that if Creati feels betrayal in anyway, she will take their souls)

/Options\

Tell No One: They will be able to keep it a secret after volume 3, but will be discovered by the villains and be used by the villains.

Ruby Tell Team JNPR: They will be able to keep it a secret, not only that, but both teams will use it as their main base of operation, even as their home, they have a duty to protect Creati.

Weiss Tell Winter: Weiss inform her Sister, and due to her connection, military forces, and being very loaded in money, not only will Creati be very protected, but will be given a lot of new fresh technology and supplies to make new robots and such, even becoming friends with Penny and upgrading her, however will be abused by James and Father Schnee.

Blake Tell Her Mom And Dad: Blake will reluctantly inform her parents, while not as powerful as Weiss in her connections and supplies, the people she and her family knows will be enough to at least move Creati herself into a much more private place, the upside is making the homes at Menagerie a much more amazing place, downside is that Blake might be forced to leave Beacon.

Yang Tell Qrow And Tai: Yang tell her uncle and father, in hopes to get some advice and what to do, and they promised to keep Creati a secret, and so far they will be able to do such a thing, unfortunately, Ozpin will find Creati, and, well, let's just say Creati won't need to steal anymore souls, unfortunately team RWBY will be seen villains.
