[Setting] c_i9's Appartment
| >A man in a long black coat with a vintage Skiglasses around his neck knocks on the door of the apartment. In his left hand he hold a modern black suitcas.
'Hello? Is someone i here?'
| (*in here)
| 'Hmm strange.. I could bet here it was'
>He tries to open the door
| >>265179
>The door appears locked
>The interior remains silent, the lights don't turn on either
>Are they even there?
| >A tall, young man arrives at the location soon after.
"You looking for her as well?"
| >The man in the coat turns to the young man
'Jep, i am Ritrivia and you are?'
>He aks
'looks like the door is locked. Can u open locked door?'
| >>265201
"Yea, hold on. I'm CN by the way."
>He rummages through his bag and pulls out a bobby pin to pick the lock
| >>265230
>You pick the lock quite easily
>The inside of the room seems fairly lived in, with many random papers strewn about the place, it's quite messy, as if someone never cleaned
>A light is on at the end of the hallway, where the sound of dripping water comes from
| >>265230
'CN!? No way... How small this city could be.'
>Ritrivia looks very surprised
'Do you Remember me? You helped me to decrypt a Biometric lock. Thx for that'
| >>265237
>After the door opened. Ritrivia puts on his Skiglasses and looks through the room.
'CN. I am wondering what are u working in. It seems like u are quite talented'
>Some kind of huge respect can be heard in this words and also a slightly accent.
| >>265250
"No problem and working in?"
>>265237
"Actually on second thought hold on."
>CN quiets down as he slowly heads inside, heading towards the sound.
| >>265264
>As CN quiets down also Ritrivia stops speaking. Than many lights and displays could be seen within his glasses. On one of them stands 'Scanning for electronic devices'
| >You soon arrive near the door
>You step into something, causing a loud 'splish' sound
>Seems like someone left the water on
>The door is locked
| >Ritrivia looks quick to CN and than back to the door.
'SHIT'
>It sounds like he have a very bad feeling about the things behind that door.
| (ooc: well sry guys but i guess i'll sleep soon. It is 1:40am here. In this case my char will react as follows, if necessary.
In his suitcase are 10 tiny Zylinder with liquid in (Stimpacks) , 8 yellow 2 green. The green stuff is for healing. There are also some very small drones in but i think in this situation there are useless. If he could protect life he will use the green stuff but there won't be an instant effect. maybe 10 min delay. it is up to OP.
Good N8)
| >>265276 >>265297
>There seems to be no electronics here, besides a wall mounted projector and a note PC
>You manage to pick the door with little to no effort... and what awaits you within
>A young child, c_i9 presumably, is lying in a bath, naked, blood emptying from cut wrists
| >>265394
>She's barely conscious, but the cuts were clumsily made, so despite the massive blood loss she seems to have suffered, the wound is easily patched up
>c_i9 is mumbling to herself
>'I'm sorry... I won't do it again... Lili... where are you?'
>She's in pretty bad shape, a lot of burn scars are present on her body and have messily healed, they all look self-inflicted
| >>265399
"Godammit..."
>CN hastily starts setting up a plasma transfusion as he pulls out his phone to send a message
| >>265401
>The girl takes your hand and looks at you with a warm smile and cloudy eyes
"Tonight... the Father in heaven has forgiven me... I can die at ease..."
>She begins laughing weakly as her grip fails
| >>265405
"No you're not dying again dammit! I'm not watching someone die twice, you're going to live dammit!"
>CN takes her out of the bath and wraps her in a blanket, making sure the transfusion continues.
"Hey stay with me! You remember me right!?"
| >The door opens abruptly, a girl runs inside. Her forehead is bandaged, and her single cat ear protrudes out of her bandaged forehead. She follows the noise, seeing ci_9 in critical condition, and CN and Ritrivia trying to help her.
"Oh my god."
>She immediately runs over to where ci_9 to assess her situation.
"How long has it been since... this happened?"
| >>265414
>She's slowly regaining consciousness, and her breathing is getting calmer
"W- huh..?"
>Her eyes are still cloudy and drool is coming out of her mouth
"Oh... is it you again... Father in heaven I have sinned, please forgive this foolish..."
>She suddenly stops and coughs
"Aa-aah..."
| >>265421
"Wait what!? Who are you!?"
>>265422
>He turns back upon hearing the coughing
"Wait what's wrong?"
| >The catgirl seems annoyed for a little bit, then sigh
"We met a few times before, Chicken Nanny. But it's not important right now. Stream, job message board, apartment location, medical attention."
>The catgirl then comes closer to ci_9, taking out several medical equipment: bandages, alcohol, water, iodine... to stop the girl's bleeding.
| >>265425
>c_i9 keeps coughing
"N-No way... did it work..?"
>Her eyes seem to gradually regain their focus
"No, no, no, nonononnonoononononononononononononononononononon-!"
>She begins screaming and kicking, going into shock
| >The catgirl tries to keep her down from kicking around too much
"No. Do not resist medical treatment. Your bleeding will get worse if you struggle too much. And I can't do much if you keep moving around."
| >>265452
>She stops moving, once again calm
"... Why'd you come here."
>She seems conscious now
"Who are you people?"
>She coughs again, this time, blood spews out of her mouth as she does
| >>265455
"What? You don't recognize the guy who saved your life last time?"
>Seeing the coughing blood he rechecks the wounds to make sure they didn't open from the thrashing
| >>265457
>Her wounds look fine, but there might be internal damage
"Looks like the fail-safe didn't actually work... Still, you say you know me?"
>She stares at your face
"...No clue. But that's probably because of the procedure."
| >The catgirl's eyes observe the girl curiously, then in her hands, a syringe. It emits a menacing "aura", its "liquid" shifts around.
"I don't like the coughing and the blood... But it should be enough?"
>After making sure that the wounds are sufficiently closed off, she then distances herself a little bit from other, but still keeping watch.
| >>265460
"Procedure? What procedure? You may have internal bleeding since you're coughing blood?"
>>265468
"What's in that?"
| >>265471
"My guess is as good as yours. Chances are, I deleted my memories. That'll make it the fifth time now. Seems like the procedure fails to delete information relating to knowledge and the like. Information about the c_i is also hard-coded in my brain... that's probably why I recall this stuff."
>She stays down on the floor
"So... where are we, who am I in relation to you, what's my name?"
| >>265473
"Uh... I'm not really sure, honestly I only met you like twice beforehand. I know someone who might have more answers though but first let me get you treated."
>He takes a portable ultrasound machine and begins prepping it to detect for any abnormalities
| >>265471
"It's just *some* reconstruction nanites. Don't worry about them."
>Meanwhile the catgirl narrows her eyes at the girl. She wants information out of ci_?. But she's not sure how to approach her for it. The catgirl just stays there, contemplating on how to get it.
| >>265478
"Man, that's useless..."
>c_i9 sighs
"I'll duly make note of that. Still, why are you here, that might get some gears turning in my head."
>Compared to the c_i9 you met before... this one seems much more methodical, cold, detached
>The analysis shows minor lesions in her throat, nothing that won't heal on it's own
| >>265483
"A friend of yours Mika was worried about you so we came looking for you. Do you remember them?"
>>265482
"Yea well she just has some cuts in her throat so that wont be necessary."
>He wraps her back in the blanket for modesty.
"Do you at least remember where you keep your clothes around here?"
| >>265487
"I don't recall anything, the only thing I've got left is knowledge and a few black boxes of sort."
>She clicks her tongue
"So, please tell me what I was called, it's kinda important, please. If you can't, then you are of no use."
>She seems rather impatient
| >The catgirl nods, puts away her syringe, then packs up her medical gear.
>>265487
>She whispers to CN so that ci_9? can't hear it.
"I originally came here for information regarding the stream and such, but this memories problem is... weird. You seems to be on good terms with her. If you manage to get a hold of such information, tell me okay? And chicken nanny name stuck didn't it."
>She then backs up, allowing CN and ci_9? to conversate.
| >Suddenly a person is standing behind everyone at the scene, she smells like smoke and gunpowder. Her face is the very definition of seriousness
"This is way worse than I thought, who knew it was so bad"
>The person, a woman more than six foot tall says while looking at Ci_9, smoking a cigar while her glowing green eyes fixates on all the blood.
"Trust Unity to pull off that kind of shit"
>OS says
| >>265496
"I've had worse nicknames..."
>>265499
"OS!? Can you feel me in on the details a little here?"
| (*fill)
| >>265502
"Sure thing partner, but lemme fill in the girl first"
>OS turns to Ci_9
"Your name is Silvia Gunma, you worked for Unity Corp until they had no use for you anymore, they then let you out and made away with your memories apparently. They found you again when you entered in contact with VCR tech and they tried to use your knowledge to make it work, thats the last I know"
>OS states matter of factly
"AUCR wants you dead you know?"
| >>265508
"Indeed, my superiors were angry you know? She was one of the targets I was assigned"
>OS says with a smirk
"Mind the past tense, mind you"
| >>265510
"Yea I figured as much, otherwise you wouldn't really be explaining all of this right now."
| >Oppressed by the sudden appearances and the unfamiliarity, the catboomer is being pushed to the corner of the tiny apartment room.
"The more I stay here, the more I think that I will get pulled into some deep shit. Curiosity kills the cat, after all..."
>After that, she apparently cloaked? and disappears, as if she never was there. It's unknown whether she still remains at the apartment or not.
| (gah, Sorry i was asleep)
>in a orange flash a man appears
| >hi is currently outside.
| >hi is currently outside.
| >>265506
>The girl seems confused
"Hmm... I never did work for Unity, not in the memories that remain."
>She looks at OS pensively
"They never had a hand in the c_i, not that I knew of... still, one of my former selves might have worked for them, so I shall duly note this info... also, who the hell are you?"
| >A woman tilts her head out of the doorway, staring at the girl and mumbling
"Hm... Pretty cute, but alas, I was beat in getting to her first... Ah whatever, this is probably too serious for me"
>She then leaves just as meaninglessly as she arrived
| >the man eventually gets inside.
Ok where to i sta-
What the shit it going on?
>he attempts to aid the others in treating C_i9
And who are you guys?
| >>265539
>c_i9? simply sighs
"Okay, how did all you weirdos find out about my whereabouts? Be quick, concise and precise in your explanation so that I can finally understand what in the seven hells is going on here."
>She seems pretty angry now
| >>265554
"I know, but since you seem surprised at the parading guingoles slowly filling what I presume was my home, I doubt they came here on orders of some mysterious former friend. Or am I wrong?"
>She sighs
"I'd just like to maybe get better before the parade of investigations begins, yes? I still need to watch my journal if I've been doing what I was supposed to."
| >>265563
"How about I help you get some clothes then first before anything else? Your closet or something must be around here somewhere..."
|
|
| >>265565
>c_i9? gets to her feet and doesn't seem bothered by her nudity
"I wouldn't know where it is... since when am I so small, too? The logs say I should be around 170cm..."
>She wraps herself in the blanket
"... Did I transfer at some point? The Logs show it's possible... but-"
>She begins pacing around the room
| >>265579
>She sighs
"I'm trying to think here, so shut up for a while. Also, no, I don't recall anything, at all."
>She keeps pacing around the room, muttering to herself
"..."
>She sees the note PC and grabs it before beginning to type
"... As expected. Take me to whoever wanted to find me and then leave me alone, there is much to be done."
>She shuts the PC
"Now that I think about it... what number was I before?"
| >>265580 >>265582
"Alright... and the height discrepancy I can actually explain on the way, although unless you want to get arrested you should really put some clothes on first."
| >>265585
>she sighs
"I presume... then what are you doing simply staring? I do not know where the clothes are."
>She shrugs
"I also shouldn't be moving too much right now, due to the blood loss."
>She turns to CN
"Understand what I'm trying to convey here, hmm?"
| >>265594
"Yeah, yeah, I offered earlier to look for them you know... jeez I swear, I save her life twice now and not an ounce of appreciation..."
>CN mumbles to himself as he goes to look for the bedroom
| >>265594
Ah ok i can fix that.
Whats your blood type?
Do you at least remember that?
>the man taps the device on his neck
>in a orange flash some medical equipment appears.
>a medkit, medical dripper(or whatever those things are called) and IV bags full of blood. Among other things.
>>265595
I know your just jokingly complaining but remember that she has amnesia.
| >>265598
>CN pauses and looks back, somewhat serious for a change
"It's funny, the last time I treated injuries for someone with amnesia, she pointed a gun at me..."
| >He goes back to searching
| >>265535
>OS laughs
"Maybe it was VCR then, spooks all the same"
>She then looks way more serious
"And who I am matters little, although I guess if the name Douji rings any bell then you'd already know who I am. Also, you were the ninth one before, so I guess you're Ci_10 now"
>She says
| "Actually, I remember now"
>OS says suddenly, claping her fingers
"It was CRI, do you remember them?"
>She asks before looking into the corner of the room, her augmented eyes glowing
"And you there catgirl, if you plan on being subtle, you oughta try a bit more"
| >A voice comes out behind OS unexpectedly.
"Nooooo~ Miss Detective please don't expose me, I'm not here! At all! Don't mind me!"
>The catgirl that is in the corner vanished into thin air, revealing its nature as a decoy.
"I never would have thought that my energy signature would get caught. Oh well, time to up the cloak."
>She doesn't say anything more, and her presence is completely merged with the room. It doesn't look like she's planning to do anything other than listening.
|
|
|
| >Tale come in to the now cramp space, looking at everyone.
"Jesus. What in the holy hell is going on?"
>He also sees OS.
"Oh, OS. How's Marie? doing alright after Cathedral-3?"
| >>265707
'Hmm... why my glasses didn't see this girl... They should'
>Ritrivia says
'Whatever, the whole situation sounds like some big serious shit, and i will not get involved in it. I think i will leaving slowly, but not before we clarified one major question. What is with the payment for this job?'
| >>265739
"oh, it's going pretty good, he's as cute as always"
>OS says with a warm smile before coughing
"But that's not important right now, what really matters is helping this gal, and I got some questions to ask her"
| >>265707
Runa,no offence,but you are absolutely garbage at stealth.
>the man says while facing her,despite being invisible
You forgot thermals.
| >>266028
"Ye the payment. Will get everyone the Full payment for this job? I didn't think so because we are many people right now. I guess the payment will split among us but who will get how much"
>Ritrivia says to CN
| >>266063
"I'm sure we'll get an even split or something I guess, I don't know, I'm not that worried about it right now."
>He presents the clothes to ci
| >>266069
>Ritrivia exhales slowly and he says softly to himself
'Ahh... I know why i work mostly alone.'
>Than he turns to the group, his focus on c_i9.
'Crazy...' >He shakes his head slightly.
'Does anybody know if our customer will arrive here?'
| >>266111
I told kurogami on the jobs thread that c_i9 wanted to see them.
>the man says *still* waiting on c_i9s reply
| >>266069
"DONE THINKING."
>c_i10 stops thinking and snaps back to attention, looking at her surroundings
"... did you guys multiply again? No matter, useless all the same, I presume."
>She takes the clothes CN handed her
"You have my thanks, somewhat."
>As she says these words, another person enters the room, a young girl wearing a school uniform witht the letters r6 on her chest
"Sitrep?"
>She asks
| >>266135
Oh.
Better ask CN, he was here before me.
Im just trying to keep her stable.
>the man replies
| >>266144
>The robot sighs
"I see her over there, so I assume she's fine."
>She kneels next to c_i
"... I'm Rivera Sixx, I think that sums it up."
>c_i frowns
"...Sixx? Weren't you still an automaton... guess the times really did change."
>r6 nods
"You changed yourself, c_i, when was the last time we saw each other? You were still Silvia back then."
>c_i10 laughs
"I don't recall that at all."
| >>266153
>r6 turns to you
"She almost made me, so of course she'd keep the data in a black box somewhere."
>She turns back to c_i10 and checks her body
"Not dead, good, Kokoro'll be relieved. But next time, tell us something before you wipe your memories. It's corrupting your brain, you know?"
>c_i10 shrugs
"Data fragmantation is within acceptable thresholds. Now I just need to figure out the why, why I deleted my memories again."
| >>266148
Yeah...i *was* gonna keep her stable but...she walked away.
Its cyrus by the way.
>>266161
Interesting...
>>266165
Not the only one then haha.
>he warps away the unused medical equipment
| >The catgirl continues to takes note on her phone about everything important that is happening in the room, being the perfect side-character that does not get recognized by anyone. If she's gathering information, why is she still here and not install a bug then leave quietly? No one knows. She then takes a moment to look at everyone and jot down their characteristics.
>She completely ignores the man that is looking at *her direction*, because he's looking at the wrong direction.
| >>266161
"okay okay... Can someone explain me please to what in heaven c_i is!? You are talking about her like she is a machine. But my glasses scans says that she is a human."
>Ritrivia look very confused and a little bit angry now.
| >>266186
>r6 looks at c_i10
"You didn't explain, it seems."
>She sighs
"Seems so, man, was the old me really that wimpy?"
>c_i10 raises to her feet with r6's help
"You called me a machine, and yeah, you'd be right. I'm a machine made of flesh, a human that reprogrammed it's brain, the computer interface."
>She sits on the nearest chair
"Does the Computer Integration Program ring any bell to any of you?"
| >>266195
"not really. The last year was very stressful so i am not such informed about newer technical stuff"
>Ritrivia seems now calmer
| >>266198
>c_i10 now has a look of contempt on her face
>r6 nudges at her
"Last thing you did before trying to kill yourself was stream the details, does that mean anything?"
>c_i10 begins thinking again
"... Oh, OH, OH, OH! THE EXPERIMENT!"
>r6 frowns
"I must've tried to reprogram my entire personality, the knowledge of how to is in my head now, logs show it's new, too... Must've fucked up and made myself feel guilty about the old tests."
| >>266200
"That, or I somehow got PTSD. One of these two."
>r6 frowns more
"Sorry, I don't quite follow."
>c_i10 looks sickened
"Useless, all of you. Still, that does explain why I tried to kill myself, the guilt must've driven me insane, and as a fail-safe in case I was saved, I deleted my memories."
>She begins laughing wildly
"I'M A GENIUS, HAHAHAHAHA! SILVIA IS GOD, GUYS!"
>She starts wheezing
"Still feeling woozy... whew..."
| >>266203
"Woah take it easy there okay, genius or not you need to heal those wounds, although this does explain that stream from a couple days ago..."
>CN stays wary in case ci falls over from exhaustion
| >>266211
"Oh man, being a genius is sooo hard!"
>This brat looks really proud of herself
>r6 sighs
"Well, whatever, all of you, Kuro is going to be splitting the reward between yourselves, I doubt you'll have any complaints about it."
>c_i10 stops smiling smugly
"Oh! The Black King?! Why didn't this idiot,"
>She gestures at CN
"Call them that?"
>r6 choos her head
"This is Glitch City, so they go by Kurogami."
"Riiight..."
| >OS raises an eyebrow
"as I thought, They're here aren't they, the black king"
>Her face is serious again as she sighs
"I got a few things I'd like to ask her, mostly concerning a certain detective"
| >>266235
>r6 scowls
"Don't talk about him with her, she doesn't want to hear it anymore."
>c_i10 is now checking what looks like the stream she made yesterday
"Oh yeah, definetly depressed as fuck. Might try something else this time, make sure it works though."
>As the video reaches the end, she starts listening intently
"Oh shit, oh shit, nonononono... oh I get it now, oh I fucking get it, the BODY, THE BODY DID THIS!"
| >>266243
"Not The Body, my body! I look like a child, right? What would a child murderer that's already guilt tripped feel if they saw themselves as a child in the mirror every day? They'd snap and kill themselves, for sure, at least, I did."
>She leans back
"Oh, and the project is resuming... wait, what? It is?"
| >>266255
>c_i10 is now deeply in thought
"No... yeah, she was right... sorry, previous self, killing yourself does seem like a better alternative to it from the standpoint of a PTSD vicitm."
>She gets up and crashes to her knees
"Fuck... blood loss, right... gods, I can barely stand..."
>r6 is busy prepping the transfers
"I need to get to work, a hand would be appreciated to get back up."
| "I'll help. Where do you need to be?"
>Tale picks her up, he peaks his head out the door.
"I need a transport ready! Set the VTOL, ASAP!"
| >>266262
"Huh... O-, actually."
>She stays down
>r6 has finished and sends a worried glance at c_i10
"I'm ready to do the transfers, so gather here, leave the cripple alone for a second while she crawls to her office to further her Mad Science."
>c_i10 grunts
"I'm the test subject, who cares, I don't use kids beside myself anymore, too."
| >>266263
"H-Huh!?"
>c_i10 blushes and starts flailing
"P-please put me down! I don't need the hospital or anything! I'm all fine, please put me down!"
>She seems really stressed, now
| >>266265
Ok good finally
Hold still for a sec if you would.
>cyrus rather professionally inserts the IV syringe into c_i10s arm after rubbing it with alcohol and the works.
>he hooks the IV to the dripper which has wheels
| >>266268
"Relax kiddo. I thought you said you can't stand?"
>Tale resists the flailing, bringing her to her research, dragging the dripper with him.
"Just promise me not to do anything stupid in the compound again."
| >>266284
"..."
>She nods weakly
>r6 just watches c_i10 as if she were super filthy
"Still as weak with guys as expected, guess that's the real one, yeah."
| "Watch it. I look old enough to be her dad."
>Tale jokes as he puts down c_i10.
| >>266325
>Ritrivia slightly grins about that joke.
"Well than i guess we are done here. If you shouldn't need any other help at the moment i will go. Or did your?"
| >>266239
>OS seems less than pleased
"I dont care if it makes her uncomfortable, I seek answers and there's a reason I even bothered to work for AUCR in the first place, I want to know what happened and the fact she thinks she can keep the truth all to herself disgusts me"
>She says with disdain, venom dripping from her tone
"She should learn to get over it, I'll be waiting"
| >>266377
'Äh sry mrs about my question but what was the AUCR? I am very new in this City'
>Ritrivia scratches his backhead nervously
| >>266377
>r6 shrugs
"You can say that because you've never been through what she has, Saint."
>c_i10 is unsteadily walking to her office
"Fucking legs... was I a cripple or something now? It'd explain the wheelchair..."
>She opens the doors one by one
"Well, I don't need help, but if anyone of you uncultured folk care for a story, you should follow me. If you don't, leave, I have no use for you besides warning you to keep an eye out for kidnappers soon."
| >>266399
>cyrus follows.
>still reading c_i10s vitals with a holographic readout projected by the device on his neck.
| >>266399
>Ritrivia turns to c_i10
'Well i am interested in a story but will it pay my bill? If i can do some technical/electrical things for you and you would pay me for that than i guess i will stay'
| >Tale shows sudden interest on the mention of a story. And Kidnappers.
"I don't think anyone is getting in here. But we do have time, what is this story you got?"
| >>266453
"Yeah, and I don't recall any of them."
>Having found the office, c_i10 crashes on a chair near the desk, said desk is covered in what look like electronics
>>266414
"The old me, or the older mes, left messages. I think they should interest anyone who doesn't want mankind enslaved by power hungry loose canons."
>She begins typing on the keyboard swiftly
"Have a seat, chummers, the others, you can leave and collect money from r6, I guess."
| >Tale keep a happy smile, joking along.
"Power hungry loose cannons? I hate power hungry loose cannons."
| >Runa disengaged from her cloak, then sits on a chair nearby others. Her cat ear perks up in anticipation of the story.
"I have a personal hatred for these people -playing God-"
| >>266383
"You should stay away from them, is all I'm willing to say"
>OS says with a scoff turning away from R6 before taking a seat, standing above the rest even while sitting
"And count me in on this, whatever you folks created, its not meant for this world, and how could I call myself a 'Saint' if I didnt help"
| >c_i10 clicks her tongue
"The good intentioned guys, great. Whatever."
>She turns on the projector and begins typing anew
>Soon, a video is displayed, showing who you can only assume to be c_i9
"Wait... who the fuck put marker on my face?"
>Dark circles are indeed drawn under her eyes
| >OS chuckles at the image
"Well, weren't you a cute little thing"
| >>266507
'Ohho'
>Ritrivia leans in on the door raising up both eyebrows.
'well that sounds interesting enough to stay for a while'
| >The catgirl smiles to herself
"Someone was scared that someone would sic a dog on that someone."
| >>266681
"Who cares, besides, I'll always look good, no matter what form I take, someone-"
>The video begins playing, interrupting her
"This is c_i9, if you're listening to this, you survived, and the program has succeeded. I had to patch the new deletion with faulty software and hardware, so you might be missing some info, I'm here to fill these blanks and explain the plan moving forward."
| >>266772
"Well, first, I should explain the whole... killing myself thing. The experiment on memories was a success and I managed to give myself a new personality, but the changes in my physiognomy have caused... bugs to appear. I'm getting to a level of data fragmentation that's honestly life threatening, so... well, you understand"
>c_i9 sighs
"Now, concerning the c_i moving forward, we still have to test Personality integration... but that's not what I want to talk about."
| >>266972
"I want you to do me a favor, to do yourself a favor. I know it sounds... stupid, and it is."
>She seems jittery
"I know you don't care, and you won't care, the only real goal of it all is the project... but I just want you to do this."
>She breathes heavily
"I want you to stop the Computer Integration Program Branch... you get it don't you?"
>c_i10 clicks her tongue
"After that's done... you do as you want, you come back and I'll explain the rest."
>c_i10 pauses the video
| >>267001
"What a piece of shit, asking that garbage of me."
>She closes the note PC
"Hey, all of you folks, interested in child genocide?"
| >>267003
Child genocide?
>cyrus was clearly not expecting that
Could you explain that with some more details please?
| >>267007 >>267008
"Didn't you guys watch the stream? If someone's restarting the project, that means they need subjects, subjects mean children, basic mad science stuff."
>She leans back in her chair
"Frankly, if you guys say 'fuck off' I'll do the same, old man can stuff it up her ass, hell, she's not even paying me for this."
| >>267015
"Yeah, trust me on this, I've worked this project for over ten years back then."
>>267016
"If they manage to code it right, no, but that'd make them into mindless dolls, which is arguably somewhat bad, I guess. Never was into Ethics and shit."
>She shrugs
"Whoever wants to help, I'll give you info, yeah. Ah, I won't pay you though, the employer is old me, not me, hell, she should be paying me, this is unlawful."
| >>267022
>She covers her body with both hands
"Into kids... I-I won't judge you, but that's kinda fucked"
| >>267028
"Heh, happy to hear that."
>She extends her hand to shake yours
>>267038
"That's real cute, bet you dream about her each night and cry when you wake up from that dream. Pfft, right-"
>She smiles smugly and begins chuckling
"Hehehe, what a comedian, I'd pay to watch your jokes."
>She's making fun of you and clearly doesn't believe you
"You know, normies are a myth, at the end of the day, it's all money or sex, you know?"
| >>267046
"She's been on the board before! Theres probably people in this apartment who has interacted with her online!"
| >>267055
"First things first would probably be finding the guys doing this. I doubt they've started yet, unless kidnappings have been frequent recently?"
>She spins on her chair
"Then we can try to find the actual guys behind the project, bing bang, crush their skulls in, destroy the machines, profit. Well, no profit in our case."
| >OS sighs
"Immature... Good lord this is going to be a long day"
>She takes out a cigarette pack, before noticing its empty and crushing it with a sigh
"Sure, I'm game"
| "I don't know what stings worse... the denial by the loli or the sandbagging by everybody else..."
| >>267073
"Dont mind it, I still respect you somewhat partner"
>OS says with a smirk
"Introduce me to that gf of yours eh?"
| >The catgirl, who was sitting diligently and quietly in the corner the whole time taking notes, stretches and yawns loudly, getting everyone's attention
"So... finding where they're at is a priority then. But we don't know where they're at, and us looking for them could probably draw their attention and make them move somewhere else-"
>She cuts herself off
"Nononono- this is an advantage knowing what they don't. Loading bio-trackers on kids..."
>She withdraws in her corner again.
| >>267020
>Tale also raises a grim point.
"If they are mindless drones rather than kids, then why feel remorse when you do the job?"
| >>267065
>Ritrivia puts out a package cigarettes from on of the inner pockets of his coat, taking down his Skiglasses and then holds the package to OS. Looking to her with a face that say 'do u want one?'
| >>267427
'Tss'
>Ritrivia looks annoyed
'Can you give them back? Only your word "No Smoking" is enough to prevent me from doing it. You must not directly collect MY stuff.'
| >>267450
>Tale losses interest in the story, instead heading out of the apartment.
"You can join me out here, and get them."
| >>267450 >>267454
"Well why you two are busy dealing with the issue of modern day nicotine addictions I'm just going to be over here stopping a conspiracy."
>CN says annoyed
| >>267454
"Is he kidding me!? What a moron..."
>Ritrivia exhales
"I will buy a new package later."
>>267511
>Than he turns to CN
"You are right, better we keep the important things first."
| >>267566
>Tale opens the pack, and starts smoking, while calling someone.
"Yeah, It's me... ...Project Farway? That's Cain's area... ...Orders from above? Fine... ...Sure, I'm heading out now."
>He ends the call, and heads out, leaving Ritrivia's pack at the door.
| >>267305
"For a cat, you do seem to have some brain left. Yes, the guys will just run as soon as we close in on them. The big problem right now is info, which is why, I, with the kindness of my heart, shall teach you about the in depth details of the c_i."
>She laughs and grins smugle
"But please, no need to thank me. Just ask away!"
| >Catgirl then looks out the door, then looks back at c_i10, clearly not interested in the smoking dispute.
"Uh, yes. Please tell me about every detail of the c_i."
>She then opens up a new document on her phone, preparing to take note. But at the same time a mumble escapes from her lips.
"Little girls..."
| >>267700
"Guess I should start with that... you guys saw the stream right?"
>She begins tapping her thigh to a bizarre rhythm
"How much do you guys know about AIs and Consciousness transfers? And please don't tell me you know nothing, that'd be like admitting to chronic retardation."
>She shakes her head
| >>267782
I for one know enough.
Even if i didn't you *did* just post a stream about it.
>cyrus leans onto a wall
| >>267782
"Aside from the stream I know how the Great Ones can do something to that extent, but I don't really know the details."
| (OOC: was there a setting i missed? Looks like, if so can someone give me a name or a link?)
| >>268030
(There was no setting, but the stream in question is the Computer Integration Program History Lesson -c_i9)
| >>267814
"Aren't you a big boy, Great One Programming is no easy feat, even I can't do it, still, for you to know about that, must be one heck of a script kiddie, huh?"
>She shrugs
"Alas, the c_i has nothing to do with Realitas, we use CRI Base-22, trademark."
>She takes out some papers and begins scribbling
"Basically, you turn the brain into a computer, it started as a plan to give AIs a body of flesh."
| >>268159
"Humans can get a Lilim body, but the other way around is impossible due to the difference in hardware and software, kinda. We try to circumvent that and invent ways to program the brain as you would a computer."
>She keeps drawing
"It has a lot of medical applications, such as curing amnesia, lukemia and the like using backups and various codes. It also allows you to download knowledge straight to your brain."
| "Thank god, I've had enough of those creepy terminals and slayers"
>OS says before looking at Ci_10
"so, where did it fuck up?"
| >>268162
"When Mind Control took center stage, courtesy of everyone's favorite AUCR in association with CRI and the US. Repregoramming the brain basically means you could make people into stupid 21st century robots, and then order them around like slaves. The preliminary tests in that sector actually showed a lot of promise."
>She finishes her drawing and puts it in front of you, it shows a machine
| "Go on"
>OS says simply
| >>268175
"Don't rush me, tall, ripped girl."
>She shrugs
"People these days... Whatever. So, the problem with this research is that it doesn't work on animals, and you need people to actually test it on, and also, if you fail your code, the subject dies or becomes a vegetable, especially adults. Kids are a wayyy better platform, especially infants due to their adaptability."
>She sighs
"So, if someone is doing the research, kids are gonna be taken, and turned into 'légumes', yeah."
| "Hmm..."
>CN follows along in quiet contemplation
| "I suppose the first step would be where they're getting the kids then..."
| >Ritrivia scratches his back head thoughtful
| >Runa speaks while looking down at her phone.
"This is big. I can see world domination all over this. This would open up vast military applications that could even topple government forces."
| >>268556
"Hey, looks like you ain't so stupid after all. Yeah, the military applications are wild. You could make anyone a pro fighter jet pilot, give them medical training, plus, if you control the people, you get the war support and the manpower to fuel literally any conflict. A lot of countries want this tech, and couldn't care less how many kids it takes."
>>268192
"They'll get the infants from hospitals, kidnap randomly the rest, won't get caught, their backing is real strong"
| "So instant training, But wouldnt that take a toll on untrained bodies?"
>OS asks
"And stop calling me tall, I'm... Okay I am but I have a name"
| >>268697
>She shrugs
"It's info, not like you're actually making them stronger or something. Kids are also the most receptive towards learning, that's why Child Soldiers are often pretty efficient if not for their physiques, but then again, if you have all the manpower you could want, you can just force them into training as you wish."
>She starts spinning on her chair
"Spooky stuff, right? Also, lady, if you have a name, tell me, don't complain if you didn't."
| >>268675
"They must leave the trail behind, even the biggest corps can't clean everything up. That's how we find them."
| >>268733
Perhaps the hospitals.
I can plant some spy cameras around.
It should be simple to recognize someone taking a child.
>a small robotic bug emerges from his hand
| >>268733

>a small robotic bug emerges from his hand
| >>268733
"These guys are probably gonna be as disposable as the last, that or they'll blackmail employees."
>She sighs
"What we'd really need is a lead, track them and shit. Let em' get the kids and follow along, you know? These guys are para-military, they're just as easily detachable as a salamander's tail, govs can just deny involvement and try again later... we need some good sabotage."
| >>268746
>She stops spinning
"Well, for starters, we need to wait for them to move or whatever. Guess you guys should keep an eye on the news and stuff, look out for kidnappings."
>She gets up and begins tidying the room
"I'll need to get myself a check up, too, make sure my programming didn't get corrupted from the sudden procedure."
| >Runa thinks for a little bit, then speaks up
"Given how much heat this project is giving away, it must have been operating at a massive scale, not just GC. It might be even be protected by various nations, might be even UN."
>She pauses for a little bit
"The kidnappings might operate in several branches to hide the destination that they are being transported to. The news cannot cover enough. That means... the most effective tracker would be the kids themselves..."
| >>268766
"Hey, hey, this kid's really smart! Yeah, you got that right, I worked for America, who's pretty deep into it, but the soviets originally began it. Seattle, New York, Neo-Paris, Neo-Tokyo, it's everywhere. Last I knew, even SERN had it's own Program, the Amadeus one."
>She laughs
"None of these are past the practical stages yet, but if they had me on board, well, they'd have it in a bag!"
| >>268777
"Because they're generally weirdos with a lot of undisclosed deals? I heard that program was an EU sponsored one from my sources before they died and shit. Worthless, all of em'."
>She sighs and sits down, now that the room is cleaner
>She grasps the bizarre machine laying on the desk and starts fiddling with it
"Good work with such cheap parts, as expected of me!"
| >The catgirl smiles
"Well, I specialize in corporate warfare and gang warfare my whole life. Heck, my corp used to own the East Coas-"
>She cuts herself off before she said more than needed.
"So uh, with this large of a project AND it's a secret, there must be a point where they all converge. Organization, for example. So in theory, we need some "trafficker", load up their kids with trackers, then let things go naturally. If we're lucky, we should have *some* lead."
| >>268782
"Can you get through a thought without bringing up relative intelligence?"
>>268798
"Well that shouldn't be *too* hard, sadly child trafficking is alive and well in GC..."
| "What next, The council of 200?"
>OS sighs
"But yes, this is indeed large scale, hell AUCR even had some ideas for the project recently, damned Coleman I swear"
| I can safely say its not the UN behind this.
Besides...they already have mind control tech.
>he says, back still against the wall
| >>268870
"Mind control is different from instant learning friend"
>OS says to N3 before shrugging
"And the UN might be big, but on the surface level they're not the biggest fish in the pond right now"
| 'Well that all sounds really strange. Aaand i think don't wanna get involved in this directly because such things can go wrong easily and then they will prey you.' >Ritrivia looks very serious.
'But that doesn't mean i will not help. Because i am an engineer which worked some years in the branch of security Robots, i can Build your some gadgets like weapons, shield, drones, cloaking device, trackers etc. So if you need special blessings don't be shy to ask. '
| >>269236
"If we are finish here i will go home like nothing happened, and wait for your orders, here is my number" >Ritrivia puts out some little cards and place them on a desk.
"But please contact me once or twice and tell how are u doing i am very curious about that. Okay? "
>He look through the group. Waiting for some feedback.
| >>268937
Yeah its a large world stage.
>>269248
Ah a (wo?)man of technology.
>he takes a card.
Gladly
| >>269248
>CN grabs a card
"Thanks... looking for strange child kidnappings and such... hmm... I guess it's not much different from what I've been doing to an extent..."
| >>268847
"Mad cuz' bad."
>c_i10 starts nodding
>>269248
"We could need help, potentially, so I'll take it."
>>268870
"Mind Control itself is kinda possible since the dawn of time, but there's a difference between reprogramming a human and using psychological methods like incitation and the like. Namely, the fact that you can do transfers and things like memory delations."
>She laughs
"Hell, you could even make a spy believe they worked for you their whole life!"
| >Runa stands up, takes a card, then speaks to Ritrivia.
"Alright then. Make sure to not slack off on my VTOL, okay? I need it ready as soon as possible."
>She then sits down and types on her phone quietly again, probably looking for some information.
| >c_i10 seems to be done checking her stuff while wearing the stupid helmet looking machine on her head
"Hm... yeah, Data Decay, gonna have to fix that. Anyone here got any coding experience and/or can press buttons to do things? I hope none of you are as stupid as to mess THAT up."
>She shakes her head
| >>269742 >>269743
"Good, help me out here for a sec, I need to program myself a new self. This Data corruption I'm suffering is no joke."
>She keeps playing on her phone, shitposting on /u/
"What kind of c_i would be a good c_i, what do you guys think?"
| >>269747
Well...
Perhaps to start..
It would be nice to be friendly.
But also willing to defend yourself.
If you would like i have some chips for advanced combat roles.
>he manifests a holographic interface.
>yet its missing its link.
| >>269757
"Friendly, me? Pfft, don't make me barf, already tested that out on c_i4, lead to a nervous breakdown after memory corruption turned her into a murderous paranoid killer."
>She shrugs
"You guys cleraly have shit taste in women, but well, I can't really blame you."
| >>269761
No not that kind of friendly.
I meant 'generally not an asshole' friendly.
That aside, then what do i code in?
| >>269764 >>269763
"Hey, I was born this way, excuse you."
>She types on her keyboard
"Just follow the codes guidance, it should be optimized as fuck, realy issue is fixing said issues, so long as you can follow a patchlist, even a retard could do it with a little coding knowledge"
>She then begins thinking
"I've yet to test the stoic types and the gloomy types... So I might go for pne of these two... and I also got a plan for the leftover c_i9 data."
| >>269769
"Huh? Why would I tell you? Do I look like some gal who'll answer every question? I'm 41, Married to Science and still a virgin, but that's all you'll ever get outta me, kiddo."
>She raises a middle finger and keeps spinning on her chair at high speeds while laughing
| >>269772
Your a wizard har-c_i
>he says with a chuckle
But there is something i can agree on.
Science is my one true muse.
| >>269784 >>269790
"I'm married to Science, Sex is just a fucking waste of time when I can basically take any body and turn it into mine. Call me a mad scientist all you want, but I'm not dying or turning myself into a stupid bot."
>She stops spinning
"Now choose, Fatty!"
>She points to CN
"STOIC GIRLS OR CREEPY GIRLS, WHICH IS BETTER!"
| >>269796
"Ugh I swear your personality really makes me want to put you in your place..."
>He shakes his head and sighs
"Let's go with stoic, I rather you not go with creepy considering your history of psychotic breaks apparently."
| >>269806
"The boring one it is, dipshit."
>She sighs
"Man, it's hard being Based God."
>She begins typing and then hands you the PC
"Now, don't fuck this up, you might not like c_i10, but c_i9 and 11 had nothing to do with me, so don't do a funny joke like giving me lukemia or some shit. Also, sorry for the trouble they have and will cause you."
| >>269811
"How do you even give somebody cancer... you know what nevermind, even if your... quirks are annoying, i'm not going to get back at you or whatever."
| >>269811 >>269813
>he interfaces with the pc
You take the lead.
Ill monitor brain activity and the like.
| >>269813
"Thanks for not being a petty little shit, hate those."
>The PC shows bizarre lines of code, you can tell somewhat that some of these aren't well made, or optimized enough for the hardware
"Also, the cancer giving is possible, you just inject a program like a computer virus into the brain, so that the cells start acting like cancer itself."
(If you attempt to fix the code, please roll a d20)
| >>269823 >>269816
Oh?
Let me try.
(i went here
https://www.wizards.com/d20modern/d20mdice/dice.htm
And got a 19)
| >>269823
>You don't really get the code, so besides a bit of optimization, you really can't do anything, guess there's a reason the project didn't progress much in over these years...
"Huh? It's glorious, if you can't understand that, you can't call yourself a scientist."
| >>269826
>You somehow manage to re-compile what you assume to be the Personality code, the way everything fits so well together is really a marvel to behold, whoever made this code was quite good, or so you feel
"So, you guys done? I'll do a purge and keep you guy's face in my black box, no fucking around."
| >>269833
"I don't like your tone... Guy, whatever your fucking name was."
>She presses a button and leans back on her chair
"Give it about ten minutes, see ya' guys next time I try killing myself."
>She laughs before becoming limp, her breathing stops instantly and she begins twitching
"WARNING: PROCEEDURE ACTIVE, DO NOT DISTURB, DONE IN: T-MINUS 320 SECONDS"

"I hope that person does NOT have an ego as big as the United States this time. And less arrogant would be better."
