RATATOSKR

You are on a spaceship.

Most of your time will be spent on the bridge, which is exactly as fancy as you’d expect it to be — it looks a little like this. (The chairs are super comfortable!) Your brand new artificial intelligence — which, if you investigate, you’ll find is housed in a small computer chip — has been implanted into the computer terminal on the back wall. The diagnostics readout displayed along the bottom of the screen tells you that the AI has only been outfitted with the most basic of Stability Cores, and is currently Critically Unstable.

[ He laughs, but his laugh is so, so very angry. ]

The message came from the Cats? I don't get it. This is just like... just like my fucking life. Why would some Echo copy it? [ He snorts. ] It's not like it went very well.

I bet your boy is the one whose all polite in that 'let's revolt' comment at the end, he gets all sorts of worked up for ya, doesn't he?

It's super cute, kid, they didn't even get on and he still cares so much. [Yes, I'll talk to my AI partner aloud.]

[ SHUDDER. ]

Alright, time to change the subject. Talk to the police, or the military. AI torture is against human morality, so they should be rightfully pissed.

Aren't the military the one whose doing the AI research? They are the ones who made you and I mean you're awesome, but sometimes people are nice to some people and not others, you gotta judge people when you meet 'em kiddo.

They were a separate program. Kind of like a rogue special ops group run by scientists.

Hmmmm, good point.

You know, might be better to make it all public. Let EVERYONE know 'bout your bros, kiddo, so everyone is fighting to help 'em.

I'm just worried that Iota lied about it to the Cats to lead us off track.

Probs not. P big thing to lie 'bout, ain't it?

Why lie? Also good question, why would she lie, no real advantage to it 'cept chaos.

To mess with Wash is my guess. Or chaos, sure. [ gggggggggrah. ] It's too weak to go on, though. Just... be wary.

Usually Echoes don't single out one person on a team 'less they're really spiteful and Iota seems kind of more chill than that.

But he cloud be right, we will observe and make judgement calls.

But info mongering we can do! Hacker and computer, best hacking. Get evidence from the data banks, release to to all the presses, big scandal, lotsa trouble.

[ A nod. ]

Sol's off to look for cannons in the ship, but I'm thinking we borrow some real firepower from someone, since I don't think he's gonna find it.

Ooooh, good idea.

Could definitely hit a few key labs or somethin'.

Alright, cool. [ He's eyeing the chair sadly. ] I wish we at least had a few more choices. I could go for some food. I forgot what it's like to be hungry.

Because she's an insensitive Echo who likes running games right after bad ones before anyone can recover properly?

[...Has anyone told you yet that he died yesterday, actually?]

Either way, not about to let them do that to Roxy and this AI.

[ NO HE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED. ]

Maybe. I dunno. Either way, nothing's gonna happen to them. We need to get the program ore power, but... maybe we can get ourselves disconnected from the group running this experiment.

[Fiere or Knight can probably tell you later... Sol is pretending he doesn't care at the moment.]

We don't have enough funds to buy more cores, is the thing... I don't know much about technological stuff, though, but disconnecting from the experiment sounds like a plan.

[ He huffs and runs a hand through his hair. REAL HAIR. ]

We'll have to full-stop the ship and flush out any existing connections. And then ignore any incoming frequencies until we can look over the firewalls. I don't think we can fit all of that into one round.

Edited 2015-12-15 03:24 (UTC)

...Then maybe it'd be better to go yell at the government while we protect Roxy. Scientists tend to be funded by the government, right? So they've probably at least got a say in it, if they're not behind it all in the first place.

And if they don't listen, this ship's gotta have flamethrowers or something.

[Sol no...]

...I don't think space ships carry flamethrowers. Just assholes on them. [ Personal experience again. ]

Well there's gotta be something that could torch a government building or two.

[SOL NO...]

[ ... ]

Weeeeell... maybe we can, uh, borrow some cannons.

Cannons could work.

[SOL STAHP]

[ no epsilon also likes the idea of cannons. ]

Let's find really big spaceship cannons to use.

I'll go take a look.

[He's off to... go look around the ship to see if there are spaceship cannons around... because why aren't you saying no to the stressed-out pyro guys...]

[ ... ]

Okay, uh. Good luck!

[ he's gonna go find some to actually steal with their giant spaceship unless someone stops him from making it an action. ]
