SERIAL CODE 000000234
SERIAL CODE 000000234, or simply ’234, was a robot who served as the cook of the Interdimensional Tavern. He was proud of his creations — particularly his Baruga Salad —, and hurt when they were returned or otherwise disdained. (PROSE: The Interdimensional Tavern)
On Halloween 2019, Frederick told Tpxszum to ask ’234 if he had any leftover apples once they realised that they were rapidly running out. (PROSE: The Ghosts and the Machine) Later, in December, when the Tavern prepared for its Christmas-and-various-multiversal-counterparts-thereof festivities, SERIAL CODE 000000234 began “chop[ping] baruga roots for a delicious baruga salad” while the waiters decorated the common room.

When the denizens of the Interdimensional Black Market set up shop in the Tavern due to a prank from the Faction of the Fooling Fish, a trio of Harpies attempted to strip ’234 for parts, although he fought back. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief)
Like the rest of the Tavern waiting staff, he cared about Alistair Neezley, and, in December 2021, helped the others pick out a Christmas present for him, a new plume for his hat. Not being up to snuff on “organic customs”, he revealed the gift's nature early, though he then attempted to cover it up after realising his mistake. He later visited the Christmas party organised in the Cupid Homeworld by CS-NA, discussing “the latest innovations in interdimensional cooking” with Gourmand-705. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
