D&D 5E What terminology would you expect from Modrons?

[Shades of Eternity]

for me, I expect almost accounting talk as told by muppets.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

They all talk like a cross between a Dalek and the Swedish Chef.

 

[bloodtide]

They would all talk like a bunch of Squares!

A mix of Platonic Solids and a geometry textbook.

One plus one is two you see.
One plus two is three like me.
One plus three is four I know.
One plus four is five lets go!
One plus five is surely six.
We can see these all with sticks!

 

[J.Quondam]

They communicate by mimicking emojis with their creepy, insipid rictuses.

 

[LordEntrails]

No articles? Maybe something like format always the same (noun, verb, adjective, pro-noun) or something.

 

[MechaTarrasque]

Pronouns: this unit, that unit. Never say "I" or "we", always "this unit", "these units", or "modron collective." Although cultural contamination isn't always mentioned, it pretty much underlies the whole "rogue modron" thing, so maybe modrons refer to nonmodrons as "contaminant."

 

[Shiroiken]

If you're at all familiar with Warlock of the X-Men/New Mutants, he's kinda how I'd see them. He uses terms like: self, selffriend, and uses formal names and titles when referencing people.

 

[Mind of tempest]

something like computer coding, no idea what language as I am not my father.

 

[EzekielRaiden]

When they aren't specifically talking to someone else? The kind of half-mumbled mathematical gibberish people use when they're talking themselves through a math question. "Carry the six...the integral of the sum is the sum of the integrals....low-d-high minus high-d-low...indeterminate form..."

When talking to outsiders, stilted phrasing to use the passive voice and avoiding any references to I/me/my. Like a cross between legalese, pseudocode, and "traditional" scientific diction. Unusual jargon terms for various groups, without ever explaining why those terms are what they are. Referencing individual modrons (and people) by index or serial numbers.

 

[HammerMan]

A mix of season 1 data from Star Trek next gen and the main robot in the (movie not book) IRobot movie.

No contractions. Robotic soft and not really “getting” people.
