ShakeshaBererund "I had already introduced myself - I am Constable-Unknown, Overseer of this station. This station is called 'Gateway One,' it is an establishment belonging to my faction, the Dimensional Collective, and you've been sent here... in an unknown fashion. This boggles me, worries the logistics head, and scares the head of security way too much. In fact..."

For a moment, Constable-Unknown touches his head and his eyes start glowing. His voice seems to echo throughout the room:

"Attention Core AI Entities, your presence is needed at Holding server Gamma-Seven. Please come as soon as possible."

Two more glowing people enter the room - through the walls. One of them is a guy with no face, one large eye portruding from a holographic "chest," and four arms. He is glowing with a malevolent red. The other has three eyes, a box head, and seems to have an orb of some sort orbiting around it. He glows a soothing gold.

"The dangerous-looking program here is Zero-Quad, Assault-Class Security head, and over here is Cobra-Composite, Trader-Class Logistics specialist."

"APOLOGY: FORGIVE MY RUDE DEMEANOR FROM BEFORE."

"I am pleased to meet you, too."

RandomCommander Who made the pancakes? Also, no apology is needed. my code doesnt hae that event logged

RandomCommander

ShakeshaBererund
((ZQ)) "NOW I KNOW WHY I'M GETTING INCREASINGLY UNCOMFORTABLE..."
((CU)) "I believe I had formed the pancakes. Why do you ask?"

ShakeshaBererund

RandomCommander they were weak, increased hits from cannons destroyed them

RandomCommander

ShakeshaBererund
((CU)) "Well, that's because the pancake was meant for consumption, not destabilizing the fabric of local holographic environments with laser-shooting kittens and other random junk. Though that was a unique experience in of itself."
((ZQ)) "DOES...NOT COMPUTE... LIKE... AT ALL... WHAT SORT OF DRUG WERE YOU ON?"
((CU)) "C12H22O11"
((CC)) "...Table Sugar tends to overload Biological systems, not Cybernetic systems."
((CU)) "This is a hybrid of both."

An awkward silence.

((ZQ)) "I CAN SEE WHY YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS SPECIMEN, OVERSEER."
((CU)) "That is not the only reason I called you two here. This creature has... no memory."

A more tense awkward silence follows.

((By the way, I put the initials of each Core AI by their "speech pattern" so that you can better tell who is talking. Try to remember, please? 🙂 ))

ShakeshaBererund

RandomCommander No memory? I can remember pancakes... And the table sugar was destroyed in my coding upon entering... i think. But i remember pancakes

ShakeshaBererund
Constable-Unknown turned to the other glowing people.

"That's all she remembers. She doesn't remember the boarding parties, she doesn't remember the isolation matrix that she herself burst out of, she doesn't remember anything prior to rather amusingly destroying a pancake I made. She doesn't even remember entering the station, I presume."

"EDUCATED GUESS: IT COULD BE A HUMAN AILMENT CALLED 'SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS.' WE CAN INVESTIGATE IF HER MEMORY WAS WIPED VIA A MORE INVASIVE SCAN OF HER CODE."

"That depends if she is as apathetic to the feeling of pain as a purely artificial lifeform is."

"UNLIKELY: SHE REGISTERED THE ISOLATION FIELD, CALLED OUT THAT IT WAS HURTING HER, AND FORCEFULLY NULLIFIED IT. SHE IS MORE SENSITIVE TO PAIN THAN WE ARE."

ShakeshaBererund

RandomCommander pain.. interesting. I remeber pain. I dont knoe the source, but ive linked it with this place... One monent. It dissapears, and all non essential systems, everything but defnsic=ve systems, shut down across the entire 3rd and 4th dimenison, eerywhere and affecting evrything in them, then it eappears, shivering, and slightly crying i tried to subdue the pain memory... i cant see anything outside this room anymore

RandomCommander

ShakeshaBererund The glowing people were alarmed by this development.

"DISRUPTION ON MULTIPLE LAYERS DETECTED - THIS ENTITY IS TOO UNSTABLE TO KEEP HERE!"
"Where else can we leave her? She must have been sent here for a reason!"
"If this is anything related to Tandem-Mirage's condition, we need to get Counter-Lambda or Wing-Pandora in here!"
"Counter-Lambda is in a tense situation, and Wing-Pandora is refusing to get involved... It's up to us."

ShakeshaBererund

RandomCommander a sudden unknown dischrge erupts, almost tearing the sation in half, even shakesha is frightened by it WHat is that? We're leaving? where r we going?

RandomCommander

ShakeshaBererund Zero-Quad fell through the floor for a moment, but re-appeared instantaneously.

"THAT'S IT, I'M ISOLATING THE CREATURE AG--"
"THAT WAS NOT HER DOING!"
"STRUCTURAL 1NTEGRITY HAS BEEN COMPRIMISED, CASUALTIES HAVE BEEN REP-REP-REP-REPORTED. IF IT WASN'T Herrr, THAN WH0!?"
"Zero-Quad, You've been damaged! Initiate Passive-reset as I restore your code."
"CANNOT C0MPLY, THREAT IS STIL- IS STIL- IS STIL- IS STIL- IS ST-- YOU BETTER KNOW the riSKS INVOL\ /ED!"
