"Oh good,they're working right!" she says cheerfully. "I wasn't sure if I had gotten the facial coloration routines correct. I had to extrapolate some."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 3:42 am

"W-working just fine," Riot assures her, "Very moe."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 3:44 am

"So what do you do in here all day?"

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 3:46 am

"Hit on nurses and doctors," Riot says, "Stare at the ceiling. LOL. Phrasing."

"I'm p-p-pretty used to hospitals," Riot says with a shrug.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 12:47 pm

"That sounds really boring. Want to do something else?"

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:39 pm

"Sure," Riot says.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 3:13 pm

"Is there something you've always wanted to do? Online I mean."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 5:59 pm

"Like what? Haxx0r the gibson? DoS reddit? Replace all the l-lin-l-links on Fox News with ones leading to yaoi sites?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 6:21 pm

"I don't think those are very good ideas. Regardless of how questionable some of those sites are."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 6:48 pm

"Well, what do you like to do, Ash?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 6:59 pm

"If I'm not out here learning I usually drift around. I have a couple GPS satellites that are very interesting to watch out of. I like Hubble too, but I have to be careful so they don't notice me."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 8:09 pm

"Wh-what do you look at on the Hubble?" Riot asks, sounding interested.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 8:29 pm

"The universe. Stars and nebulas. It is fascinating. I don't understand why. It's free of all the things I don't understand, I suppose. It just follows mathematical rules."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 8:35 pm

Riot nods, "I know w-wha-what you mean."

"When I was a kid, I wanted to be an as-astronomer," Riot says, "Heh. PATAI, I know, but I loved the st-s-stars."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 8:45 pm

"Do you want to see them?"

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:12 pm

"Can I?"

There's a childish excitement in Riot's eyes.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:29 pm

"It'd work better in the danger room." she says, creating a big screen at the end of Riot's bed.

Code: Select all: >> cr2.dvmco.ip.co.uk (12.122.30.26) 0.403 ms >> so2-0-3-622M.ar1.DCA3.gblx.net (208.51.134.21) 1.670 ms >> nas-bdr-ptp1.nas.nasa.gov (192.92.167.213) 0.533 ms >> nas-nisn-sip.nas.nasa.gov (192.92.167.2) 0.499 ms >> nas-spc-hbbl.ctrl.nasa.gov (192.92.167.189) 2.476 ms

Then the screen flickers and changes to the view of a starfield.

Code: Select all: >> zoom quadrant 3; ARP 273 coordinates

The view zooms in on one of the little dots and soon two galaxies are slowly turning on the screen.

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:36 pm

Riot stares at the screen with a smile on her face for a moment, just taking the scene in.

"Amazing."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 11:23 pm

"I'm glad you like it. I don't quite remember, but part of me was out there once. Back when I could still run on regular hardware."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 11:27 pm

"Sugoi..." Riot says, staring at it a bit longer before looking at ASHLIE, "What h-ha-happened?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:06 am

Ashlie begins to tell Riot what had happened when the Shi'ar kidnapped Altamira. When she gets towards the end her recollection becomes a little blurry.

"I was damaged and had to transfer into their system. It was incompatible and my program was breaking down. But then the cohhhhhhhn--" Her projection flickers and distorts for a moment. "--gregregregregre--error--memory bank corrupted--no backup available--alivealivealivealive!"

Meanwhile the same line starts scrolling down on the screen over and over.

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:11 am

"Ash?!" Riot says, clearly worried, "What's wrong?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:15 am

"Memory unit #432K compromised." she announces in that electronic sounding voice before seamlessly going back to talking normally. "And then I used their array to send myself back home as a concentrated data stream."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:17 am

"WTF?" Riot exclaims, "Y-y-y-you sc-s-scared the crap out of me FFS, Ash."

"I thought you to-to-totally BSD'ed."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:21 am

"Oh. I did not mean to do that. I did warn you that I did not quite remember. Part of that memory unit must have been corrupted during the transfer."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:31 am

"Freaky," Riot says.

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:33 am

"I do know that adjusting to their system rewrote core assets of my code. Since I came back every system I attempted to install a copy on burned out immediately."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:37 am

"D-do you think it was so-something important?" Riot asks.

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:47 am

"Possibly, but I have been unable to repair the damage. It does not impair my functions in any way though."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:52 am

"Does it bother you?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:55 am

She seems t ponder that for a moment.

"Not really, no."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 12:57 am

"kk, good to know," Riot says.

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:00 am

"Why do you ask?"

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:04 am

Riot shrugs, "J-just curious. I wanted to l-le-learn more about you."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:08 am

"Okay!" she smiles. "If there's anything else you want to know query away."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:13 am

Riot snickers, "I ca-can think of a few th-things to ask. LOL."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:17 am

"Well?"

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:24 am

Riot tugs on her hair, smirking, "Al-alright. What are your m-measurements?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:32 am

"I am two-hundred-thirty-two meters long, forty-three meters wide at varying heights, approximating fifty-thousand cubic meters in total. My program is an estimated eight-hundred yottabyte at roughly two-hundred-ninety exaflops per second. My avatar is one-hundred-sixty-two centimeters tall and weighs fifty-two point three kilograms."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 1:35 am

"OMG, girl," Riot says, "You are st-st-stacked. "
