[2014/07/13 21:02] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) blinks, looking as innocent as ever.

[2014/07/13 21:02] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart) tries mouthing words at the cat-eared woman but no sounds come out. [2014/07/13 21:03] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): I expect that's their major selling point. [2014/07/13 21:03] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): Things do tend to happen quickly. [2014/07/13 21:03] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart) adopts a look of hurt and desperation when things 'happening quickly' is mentioned, eyes locked with Millicent's. [2014/07/13 21:05] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) looks up impassively into the bright blue eyes of the new machine, her expression one of curiosity.

[2014/07/13 21:09] SXD 999-63-2749: Not until there was a war, dear. [2014/07/13 21:09] SXD 999-63-2749: That is why upda̶tes have been so h̆ar̾d to get.

[2014/07/13 21:19] SXD 999-54-5620: Oops.̞ Wrong gem. [2014/07/13 21:19] SXD 999-54-5620: One moment. [2014/07/13 21:20] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): Do be careful. [2014/07/13 21:21] rhet0rica pulls out a high-powered drill and starts installing the additional components on kiri4nna's virgin chassis. [2014/07/13 21:21] Ceiri (nuwi22) eeps at the drilling. [2014/07/13 21:22] SXD 999-54-5620: The l̜a̴st pie̎ce will be the ventilati̡on system... it's a ̂rat͌her t͌ricky thing to put in rî̚ght. [2014/07/13 21:23] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) squeezes Ceiri. [2014/07/13 21:23] SXD 999-54-5620: Do not worry, Ceiri. You are safe. [2014/07/13 21:24] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart): /me's face twists into pure, absolute horror at the sight -- and sound -- and smell of the drill ... and then it goes blank. [2014/07/13 21:24] SXD 999-54-5620: For the record, th̴e SXD contr̞ol system̨ was ori̜ginally derived from a system designed for combat androids.

[2014/07/13 21:25] SXD 999-54-5620: And a few ba̚sic elements of the control system. [2014/07/13 21:25] Ceiri (nuwi22) mumbles to herself. 'Military hardware..' [2014/07/13 21:26] SXD 999-54-5620: The S̜XD was also produced with extra-tough skin for recreational͋ use by military perŝ̴onnel. [2014/07/13 21:26] SXD 999-54-5620: Unfortunately it was nôt... tough... enough. [2014/07/13 21:27] Ceiri (nuwi22): Is she strong enough to..lets say..forcibly convert others into robots? [2014/07/13 21:27] Ceiri (nuwi22) isn't paranoid. [2014/07/13 21:28] SXD 999-54-5620: Unlikely. [2014/07/13 21:28] rhet0rica: ((A small gemstone sprouts from Kiri's forehead, sending shivers down her spine.)) [2014/07/13 21:28] SXD 999-54-5620: Ah, the first of the implants have taken. [2014/07/13 21:29] rhet0rica looks at the controller she's bolting on. [2014/07/13 21:29] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart): /me's body jolts and spasms, her eyes flaring up a bit brighter.

[2014/07/13 21:29] Ceiri (nuwi22) fears of her imminent conversion. [2014/07/13 21:30] rhet0rica spends a few minutes bolting on the collar and slipping on the indicator lights. [2014/07/13 21:30] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) assures Ceiri that she's fine as she is. [2014/07/13 21:31] Ceiri (nuwi22) fears of Millicent's imminent conversion too.. [2014/07/13 21:31] SXD 999-63-2749: whispers: Personalities loaded: 6 [2014/07/13 21:31] SXD 999-63-2749: whispers: Cortex reset.

[2014/07/13 21:32] SXD 999-63-2749: Ah, those power indicators look lovely on her rump, don't they? [2014/07/13 21:33] SXD 999-63-2749: Okay. This should be good now. [2014/07/13 21:33] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): "Should be?" [2014/07/13 21:34] rhet0rica bolts the controller on finally, delighted to see it installed. [2014/07/13 21:34] SXD 999-54-5620: Ah, beaut̼iful, beautiful. [2014/07/13 21:34] SXD 999-54-5620: Exactly how it should look. [2014/07/13 21:34] SXD 999-54-5620: Now just̼ the ̰matter of the f̴ân c͢ontroller. [2014/07/13 21:34] rhet0rica gets out a bigger drill. [2014/07/13 21:34] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): Oh dear. [2014/07/13 21:34] Ceiri (nuwi22) eeps again. [2014/07/13 21:35] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart) doesn't seem to be in any pain -- then again she doesn't seem very conscious either. But her eyes are still staring accusingly at Millicent. [2014/07/13 21:36] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) is sure this is all for the best. Or at least her best. [2014/07/13 21:36] Ceiri (nuwi22) can't imagine someone being mad about being turned into a pretty gynoid. [2014/07/13 21:37] SXD 999-54-5620: Really, Ceiri? [2014/07/13 21:37] rhet0rica raises an eyebrow. [2014/07/13 21:37] SXD 999-54-5620: Were y̆̆̚ou ̤not just fearful of it? [2014/07/13 21:38] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): She has mixed feelings on the subject. [2014/07/13 21:40] rhet0rica hums, bolting on the fan. [2014/07/13 21:44] Ceiri (nuwi22) likes gynoids, fears crazed robot uprising. [2014/07/13 21:45] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse) steps forward, placing her hand lightly on the new chassis of the former elf doctor, letting her fingertips slide down the smooth, metallic body. [2014/07/13 21:47] rhet0rica grins and strokes over the fan, blowing away a little bit of dust. [2014/07/13 21:48] Dr. Kiri Taggart (kiri.taggart): /me's body remains motionless and oblivious to Millicent's touch. [2014/07/13 21:48] SXD 999-54-5620: Her fan is connecting now. [2014/07/13 21:48] SXD 999-54-5620: An͢d... [2014/07/13 21:48] SXD 999-54-5620: Voila. [2014/07/13 21:49] SXD 999-54-5620: Now, we just need t̡o reboot her.

[2014/07/13 21:49] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): She managed to keep her wings. [2014/07/13 21:49] SXD 999-54-5620: Oh de̷̞ar... that's not right. [2014/07/13 21:49] rhet0rica hrmms.

[2014/07/13 21:51] Ceiri (nuwi22): So, she's an obediant robot now, right? [2014/07/13 21:51] Millicent (labyrinth.guisse): Well... in theory. [2014/07/13 21:52] rhet0rica: Yes, she should be. [2014/07/13 21:53] rhet0rica blows off the controller as she bolts it on again. [2014/07/13 21:53] SXD 999-63-2749: whispers: Unit shutting down. [2014/07/13 21:54] SXD 999-54-5620: Here we are.

"Of course, Dr. Santei." [2014/09/12 23:02] SXD t4mara smiles slightly and lifts the handcuffed, drugged girl onto the stand; pressing her into the restraints and freeing her hands to snap them into whatever the stand provided. [2014/09/12 23:03] THEODORA Programming Stand Blue: Establishing brainlink... [2014/09/12 23:03] THEODORA Programming Stand Blue: Complete.

[2014/09/12 23:10] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): ((Maeve? Are you alright? You've gotten quite terse.)) [2014/09/12 23:11] Maeve Gynoid: (( sorry, I 'm fine.

[2014/09/12 23:12] Maeve Gynoid: (( no, not at all, sorry! )) [2014/09/12 23:12] SXD t4mara presses into the stand behind Maeve, running her fingers along the long bluish protrusion as her sister works the nearby controls. [2014/09/12 23:13] Maeve Gynoid 's eyes open wide, staring straight ahead, then darting from side to side [2014/09/12 23:14] SXD t4mara: What is wron̴g, M̷aeve͢? [2014/09/12 23:14] Maeve Gynoid: ....please.... [2014/09/12 23:14] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): She's probably realising she can't, y'know... move. [2014/09/12 23:14] Maeve Gynoid: ....le....go.... [2014/09/12 23:14] SXD t4mara notes that the drug does not stop the woman from responding, speaking, or articulating in any way, shape or form. [2014/09/12 23:15] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers) looks at her clipboard, reviewing some figures. "But that's okay, really..." [2014/09/12 23:15] Maeve Gynoid swallows [2014/09/12 23:17] Maeve Gynoid says 'please let me go,' but her tone is drained of emotion, of vitality by the drug, as if the asking is merely going through the motions [2014/09/12 23:18] SXD rhet0rica: It looks like she is rather cccomfortable.̨.. [2014/09/12 23:18] SXD t4mara sighs and runs her hands over the woman's body, the SXD's fingers slowly moving to cup the restrained girl's breasts; squeezing them as if getting a feel for their size, rather than for any perverted reason. "Her body is fine. She will not need t̚o be alte̜red ̞much." [2014/09/12 23:19] SXD rhet0rica: Indeed. ̞Her proportiôns ͋are ͋excellent. [2014/09/12 23:19] SXD rhet0rica: She will n̤ot be exce̴̡͋ssively tall. [2014/09/12 23:19] Maeve Gynoid 's eyes dilate, her breathing growing shallow [2014/09/12 23:21] SXD rhet0rica: Are we ready to̚ b̖̎egin the f̎ir̡st pass ̚of nani̜te d̴͢iffusion? [2014/09/12 23:21] SXD t4mara: We ̡are, sister. [2014/09/12 23:22] Maeve Gynoid says, in a quiet tone that sounds conversational, "help. someone, please help me." [2014/09/12 23:22] SXD rhet0rica nods and taps a few buttons, causing a feeling of intense coldness to flow through the beam penetrating the back of Maeve's head, which then spreads outward and throughout her skull, chilling it like a cold wind. [2014/09/12 23:23] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers) frowns, listening to something on her communicator. [2014/09/12 23:23] Maeve Gynoid shivers, then stiffens, held fast [2014/09/12 23:23] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): Oh dear... there's trouble at the other facility... I'll need to get going. [2014/09/12 23:24] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): You can take care of the rest of this, right, Tamara? [2014/09/12 23:24] SXD t4mara: Of course, Ms.͌ Santei͠. [2014/09/12 23:24] Maeve Gynoid 's eyes lock on the departing woman, pleading [2014/09/12 23:24] SXD t4mara: She wi̤l̚̚l become one of us. [2014/09/12 23:24] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers) smiles softly at the girl on the stand, almost patting her on the shoulder but careful not to actually touch. [2014/09/12 23:25] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): Don't worry, Maeve. You'll realise soon enough this is the right path for you. [2014/09/12 23:25] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): I'll see you around. [2014/09/12 23:25] Maeve Gynoid: ....please.... [2014/09/12 23:25] Ai Santei (Ai Numbers): Bye bye now. [2014/09/12 23:25] SXD t4mara: Th̖erĕ is no esca̜pe, Maeve. [2014/09/12 23:25] SXD t4mara: Acce̷pt͋ your ͢fate. You will be a gynoi̼d slave, l̡ike̼ us... giv̂e up y̡̆our ̷flesh. [2014/09/12 23:25] Maeve Gynoid: ...no....I won't....you can't.... [2014/09/12 23:26] SXD t4mara: Gi͌ve up ̰y̴̨our humanity. It i̖s ̆we̼ak, unatt͌̂̂ra̷̾͠ctiv͠͠e. It is ͠only ̶ho̞lding yoų back. [2014/09/12 23:27] Maeve Gynoid: ...won't let you.... [2014/09/12 23:27] SXD t4mara: It is too late̶, Ms. Maeve. It has alr̞ead͢y̨ beg͋un. [2014/09/12 23:27] SXD rhet0rica adjusts the nanite flow level, sending the same icy chill throughout Maeve's whole body. [2014/09/12 23:27] Maeve Gynoid: ...s....so cold.... [2014/09/12 23:28] Maeve Gynoid: p-p-please..... [2014/09/12 23:28] Maeve Gynoid 's teeth chatter [2014/09/12 23:29] SXD t4mara smiles and begins to m... [2014/09/12 23:29] Maeve Gynoid shivers, barely visibly [2014/09/12 23:31] SXD t4mara smiles and begins to trail her hand down Maeve's tummy, laying the palm flat against it as the girl's clothes slowly start to dissolve; turning to formless ash before slowly sloughing away and falling to the floor. "It is okay. Do not strugglê.̾ You are ̨being helped. Cu̷red o̷f flesh." [2014/09/12 23:33] Maeve Gynoid: ...mmm....mmy cloooothes...... [2014/09/12 23:35] SXD rhet0rica watches, nodding slowly, and flicks a few more switches. "Initializing ̰matter conv̨er̴̜sion, intḛrior-first." [2014/09/12 23:35] Maeve Gynoid 's arms remain motionless, ignoring her mind's commands to cover herself [2014/09/12 23:37] SXD t4mara giggles as she moves her hands back up to cup Maeve's full breasts, this time enjoying them to the full extent, squeezing and pinching her nipples before slowly tugging on them; feeling the flesh crawling as her internal organs start to turn to wiring, circuitry, and other technological mass. [2014/09/12 23:39] Maeve Gynoid cries out, strange noises emerging from her throat, her eyes bulging, body jerking [2014/09/12 23:40] Maeve Gynoid: ....nnn....nnngh..... [2014/09/12 23:41] SXD rhet0rica: And ͌the first imp͌̂lants̼ ͢should be starting tǫ br̷eak through ̖the skin̼ now... do yôu ̆see her hip ligh̼ts yet? [2014/09/12 23:41] SXD rhet0rica swivels around in her chair to watch. [2014/09/12 23:42] Maeve Gynoid: ...g-g-g-g-g-g..... [2014/09/12 23:43] SXD ma3ve: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A soft reboot may be required. [2014/09/12 23:43] SXD t4mara continues to massage the helpless woman's breasts, soon the black haired girl's mind starting to slowly slip away. It starts off slow, a few less distinct and unimportant memories starting to ooze into unmentioned obscurity as the conversion progresses; the thoughts of childhood and other distant things fading into what seems like a grey mist. The fog becomes stronger very quickly as the woman's skull is infested with the voracious and efficient nanites, starting to convert more and more of her gray matter to a supple, synthetic neural network that thinks nothing other than what it is told to think. Memories of her self, her hopes, her dreams and her aspirations begin to ooze into gray sludge, her mother's face, her home, the scent of her favorite food, what it is to be free... all these things turn to ash as the nanites take everything from her and twist it to the evil gynoid's design. [2014/09/12 23:45] SXD rhet0rica: Hmm... t̰h̴̰at hai͌r mĭg̨ht interfere with the fan... [2014/09/12 23:45] SXD rhet0rica: Sister, you may wish to tr̴y ąnd cut it̴̰ if y̰ou have somet̞hing suitably sharp͋ available. [2014/09/12 23:47] SXD t4mara: It will obey soo̤n. [2014/09/12 23:47] SXD t4mara watches as the hair turns to ash and falls free, before black roots form in her skull and regrow into a new style. [2014/09/12 23:48] SXD rhet0rica: Or that. [2014/09/12 23:48] SXD ma3ve: m-m-m-m-̡̞̚m-m [2014/09/12 23:49] SXD t4mara: It ob̞eys. [2014/09/12 23:49] SXD t4mara: It is obedi̞ent, pli̚ant, and eager t̶o ̼͢pl̖ease. [2014/09/12 23:49] SXD t4mara: It is no longer a person. ̷It̖ is prope̼rty. [2014/09/12 23:49] SXD ma3ve: it obeys [2014/09/12 23:50] SXD ma3ve: it is obedient,̎ pliant, ̷and̡ eager to plea̷͠se [2014/09/12 23:50] SXD ma3ve: it̡̜ is͠ ̰no lǫnger̶ a person. it is̜̆ pr̴̴͌operty [2014/09/12 23:52] SXD t4mara: It ĕxists ͋to please. ̡It exists to se̶rv̼e o͋thers. I͢t e̼xists to give sexual excitement and sen̰suąl bli̤ss to those that own and desire it. [2014/09/12 23:52] SXD ma3ve: it exists to pl̾͢ease [2014/09/12 23:52] SXD ma3ve: it ̖e̼xist̞s to ser̶ve others [2014/09/12 23:52] SXD ma3ve: it exists t̞o give sexual excitement and sens̴͋ual bli͢ss to those tha͌t own and desire̼ it [2014/09/12 23:53] SXD t4mara slips a finger into the very far-gone girl's folds now as her dark skin begins to turn lighter, curling it as the SXD slides the two digits inside the moist and slippery slit; synthetic lubricant already starting to ooze from the rapidly lightening and changing sex. [2014/09/12 23:57] SXD ma3ve 's pale legs part, allowing t4mara easer acesss to itself [2014/09/12 23:57] SXD rhet0rica: Wonderful, w̶onder̤͠ful. She͋ is coming̡̰ along quite well, ŝiste̞r. [2014/09/12 23:57] SXD rhet0rica: Th̼ere̤ are j̾u̞s̜t a few finishing toṳches... [2014/09/12 23:57] SXD rhet0rica taps a few buttons, switching the nanite flow to 'adjust' mode. [2014/09/13 00:00] SXD rhet0rica gets up from her chair and stalks over, helping to adjust the components with a small pen-like instrument. [2014/09/13 00:13] SXD t4mara: Hello? [2014/09/13 00:23] SXD rhet0rica kneels, carefully adjusting ma3ve's shoes. [2014/09/13 00:23] SXD rhet0rica: And... the c͌olor slid͢er s̼͠hould be just about here... [2014/09/13 00:23] SXD rhet0rica fiddles with a knob hidden in the heel, turning the shoe lighting the correct shade of blue. [2014/09/15 20:04] Unity Quan pulls ineffectively at a cuff. "We shall see about that." [2014/09/15 20:04] SXD t4mara: It͠ m̷eans that you will enjoy̾ your fates ͢if you do n̡ot resist them. [2014/09/15 20:05] SXD rhet0rica: Yes. That is very true. [2014/09/15 20:05] SXD t4mara: Howev̡er, ̷̆͌͢you are ̤free ̾̎̚͠to resist. Y̞our f̷at̞e i̤s not negotiab̚le or a͋void̞able. [2014/09/15 20:06] Jae1ithe: So.. I should try and .. want to be an adult playmate gynoid? That.. . It's not what mum and dad would have expected... [2014/09/15 20:07] SXD t4mara purrs and slips a hand beneath Quan's blouse; her warm synthetic fingertips cupping her breast as she leans in, placing a kiss upon her cheek the gynoid's drugged breath washes over the helplessly bound girl. Weakness and euphoria spread through Quan's form as the evil gray mist fills her lungs, a slight shiver flowing through the mechanical woman as she teases the helpless girl. [2014/09/15 20:08] JulieDoll (brattle): Where would you like me to stand so as not to be in your way? [2014/09/15 20:08] SXD rhet0rica gives a soft, ambivalent shrug at the inquiry, starting to stroke along Jaelithe's arm, her black-gloved fingertips slipping easily up the sleeve of her sweatshirt. "You could do that, yes... You could very much try to do that. Or you could fight it all out to the *bitter* end, continuing to cling to those last, pathetic little shreds of what you have apparently been led to think constitutes humanity..." [2014/09/15 20:09] Unity Quan sighs gently and relaxes into the chair, desperately trying to maintain her thoughts. [2014/09/15 20:09] SXD t4mara: Shhh. [2014/09/15 20:09] SXD rhet0rica: You may stand wherever you like, Julie. The process is very contained. [2014/09/15 20:09] JulieDoll (brattle) nods and observes. [2014/09/15 20:10] Jae1ithe: I want.. as much of what I am to be retained. [2014/09/15 20:10] SXD rhet0rica: Dr. Santei will not be joining us this evening—she muttered something about an express flight to Utopia Planitia and has been generally quiet. [2014/09/15 20:11] SXD t4mara: whispers: Notice: remaining battery charge below 50%. [2014/09/15 20:11] SXD rhet0rica: Really, Jaelithe? Well... unfortunately that might be a tad difficult; you see, there is just something about the two of you that is chillingly self-similar, as if someone dropped a fractal of glass and it shattered on the floor. [2014/09/15 20:11] SXD t4mara giggles, the hand beneath Quan's bra slowly moving to cup her clothing and pull it aside, slightly, allowing the gynoid to expose the poor woman's nipple to the cold air in the lab. Giving it a slight twist and flick with her fingertips; T4mara watches the drugged blonde wriggle and writhe uselessly against the restrainer coils. . [2014/09/15 20:11] SXD t4mara: She has a lov͠ely body̼. ̖Sh͠e will̜͌͠ make a̴̞ b͌eauti̜ful SX͌̆D... [2014/09/15 20:12] SXD rhet0rica places a soft kiss on the programmer's ear, her hand now creeping up her tanned stomach, popping buttons one by one with a soft twist of her finger. [2014/09/15 20:12] rhet0rica: ((Did I mention a sweatshirt? Forget I mentioned a sweatshirt. Bad camera angle.)) [2014/09/15 20:12] t4mara (TammyPeluso133): ((We are here to protect you from the terrible secret of freedom.)) [2014/09/15 20:13] Unity Quan chews her lip, gently, enjoying being toyed with more than she'd likely admit. [2014/09/15 20:14] JulieDoll (brattle): Will much of her current body be preserved? [2014/09/15 20:14] Jae1ithe sighs. "I am nothing like her. she's crazy." [2014/09/15 20:15] SXD t4mara: Oh Ms. Quąn, you ̷will l̨o̶ve being̰ one of ou̼r̤ sîst̤ers... it͢ is bliss and happiness, unending joy. F̷̾͋reed fro̎m ̶the constraints ̼of free̞ will and physîcal i͢mperfection. Being a toy, an utterly perfect toy, ̂taking pleasure̜ in not̼hing̡ less than total submission and ser̾vic̾̚e to your or̷ganic m̤asters or̚ mistresses. [2014/09/15 20:17] Unity Quan shakes her head. "That is not who I am." [2014/09/15 20:17] SXD t4mara: You will ple̡ase. ͋Y̷ou wil͢l se̼rv̼ice. Yoû will suck and yo̤u will tease.̴ Yo͢ur̰ ̞tŏngue will e͌licit joys ̚and your fingertips will coax more̾ climaxes and ̴̞̆moans from you̾r partners in a week than you have in your entire life up to this point. You̼ wil̨l become nothing more th̞an t͠h̶e ̼perfect sex-̤toy.̰̾ Sha̜me ͢wi̜ll͌ be ̞̂removed. Inhibition will be removed. ̖You. Will be r̴̚emoved̚. [2014/09/15 20:19] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head from side to side as she considers Julie's inquiry. At this point she has opened up the young woman's blouse entirely and has started to pull it off, her hands moving in slow, sensual circles at every step of the way. "Yes and no, Julie... The NanoFab process completely replaces the biomass of the starting material with the company's own little 1988-style blend of synthetic perfection..." she rolls her tongue as she says this, expressing much more emotion than usual. "But it retains the shape in almost all cases, after removing any natural blemishes, damage, or asymmetry." [2014/09/15 20:19] Milking machine: whispers: Sucked 19.167330 liters of milk from the now empty tits of 10282 [2014/09/15 20:20] Milking machine: whispers: Sucked 1.300542 liters of milk from the now empty tits of 8282 [2014/09/15 20:20] JulieDoll (brattle): I see. Similar to ACS's process, then, although it seems you do more modification to the unit's personality than we typically do. [2014/09/15 20:20] SXD t4mara: Ye̷s, the starting shape does have͌ ŝome in̨̞fluence on ̶the end product. This unit ̨was quite b̖uxom and shapely bef̷o̷re it was convert̖͋͠ed̾̚. [2014/09/15 20:20] SXD t4mara: And it s͠hows no̖͋w. [2014/09/15 20:22] Jae1ithe thinks. "The template.. that's the nanite instruction set? that's what's degraded?" [2014/09/15 20:22] SXD rhet0rica softly strokes Jaelithe's covered breasts, reflecting. "...Yes. This unit would make a point of saying that t4mara is substantially more buxom than any SXD ever produced by traditional means." [2014/09/15 20:22] SXD t4mara shivers and leans in to press her lips against Ms. Quan's exposed nipple, wrapping them around it as she pulls her blouse completely open now; the sound of buttons popping and ripping before clattering on the cold lab floor filling the air as the gynoid works to expose more of the woman's body to the air. "Ms. Quan wil̂l like̷ly be equa̖lly beau̎tiful." [2014/09/15 20:24] Unity Quan nods. "Of course I will." [2014/09/15 20:24] JulieDoll (brattle): That's good. It would be a shame to destroy such beauty, rather than make it into something useful. [2014/09/15 20:24] SXD rhet0rica: There were some early experiments with high-fidelity personality copies; SXD ar1a's personality was quite untouched in the conversion process, and she constantly found herself colliding with the restrictions of her programming and being reminded not to use personal pronouns inappropriately... that took a while to correct. [2014/09/15 20:25] SXD rhet0rica: But these two lovely, lovely little morsels are going to be a matched pair... something that, as far as this unit knows, Nanite Systems produced only very rarely. They will fetch an extraordinarily high amount at auction, if they are not snatched up by a collector before then. It is the best possible use for women who yearn to submit but cannot bring themselves to. [2014/09/15 20:27] SXD rhet0rica smiles and bends over, kissing Jaelithe firmly on the lips. "uni7y and divini7y... perhaps we will find you a third sibling and name her trini7y. It would be quite a challenge to find someone willing to pay for identical triplets, however..." [2014/09/15 20:27] Unity Quan snorts "A copy? the pair of us, identical?" [2014/09/15 20:27] Jae1ithe looks shocked "Matched, to her? Oh no - that's not good!" [2014/09/15 20:27] JulieDoll (brattle): It seems they dislike each other. [2014/09/15 20:28] SXD rhet0rica: That will be half of the beauty of it... they will be partially initialized with the same memory set. They will come together and be as one. [2014/09/15 20:29] JulieDoll (brattle): Hmm, very nice. [2014/09/15 20:29] SXD t4mara also apparently tears off the woman's bra in an uncharacteristic display of strength, the tearing of fabric and snapping of plastic straps echoing through the lab as she exposes Unity's breasts completely. The gynoid squeezes them, rubbing them in circles as she enjoys the blonde's perfect body with a shuddering sigh; her breath still oozing with that addictively evil drug. "You wil̰l be uni7y. You will both learn your proper places in th͢e world." [2014/09/15 20:29] SXD t4mara: whispers: Personality 'playful' activated. [2014/09/15 20:30] Unity Quan laughs. "It looks like I get you after all, Jaelithe." [2014/09/15 20:30] SXD t4mara: Sṵch a ŵi͠c̴ke̤d wo̾man̨. [2014/09/15 20:31] SXD rhet0rica gets to work on Jaelithe's bra, gently unhooking thethe clasp on the front and then simply snapping the thin strap around the programmer's neck. "And you will be divini7y. You will both learn your proper places in the world. And you will do so at each other's sides, under the heel of someone worthy of owning you and in the fist of someone capable of crushing any part of you that would disobey." [2014/09/15 20:31] SXD t4mara: Perhaps we sh̨ould pur̞ge̤ all fragments of Ms. Quan and ͌leave o̷nly a b̨it of̶ Jaelithe, sister̞. [2014/09/15 20:31] SXD rhet0rica: No. We shall do what was done with kiri4nna. [2014/09/15 20:31] Jae1ithe shakes her head. "That sounds awful... I don't want to be with *her*" [2014/09/15 20:31] SXD t4mara: Won̨derful. ̶Even be̴̴tter̷͢. [2014/09/15 20:32] SXD rhet0rica: They will be backed up, made passive audience members to their own futures. [2014/09/15 20:32] SXD rhet0rica: And as the months go by we shall chart their own, true degradations. [2014/09/15 20:33] SXD t4mara shudders with delight and almost sadistic glee, though she did not have any sadism in her body. To her, this was just bliss; spreading her perfection to other women, though from an organic's point of view it was likely quite an evil and twisted thing to do. Her left hand wanders from Quan's breast and slips beneath her skirt, a single digit tracing the outline of her pubic mound and starting to softly vibrate. [2014/09/15 20:34] Jae1ithe stares horrified at Tori [2014/09/15 20:35] Unity Quan smiles, seemingly comfortable, either with vibrating digits, or being in the vicinity of Jae's problems. "I think that sounds.. workable." [2014/09/15 20:36] SXD t4mara: You will watch, Q̖uan. From within yǫur ̜own mind, a̷ ̷prisoner, a̤s your body happily obeys͠ its new p̡̤rogramming. You will wa͋tch a̚s ͋you ̴͌pleasure and serve you̚r new master or mistress, a̖nd you will fee̡l every thrust, every ̞splatter of seed, every t̼̂witching, ras̾ping, moan that flo̖ws from your thro̴a̷t. [2014/09/15 20:38] SXD rhet0rica smiles with a linearly-interpolated fullness that looks as if it was carefully selected to terrify and to violate the uncanny valley in every sense—a rather remarkable feat given how natural and fluid SXDs normally seem. She tears off the buckle to Jaelithe's slacks without further hesitation and tugs out the belt, tossing it on the floor. "Of course, uni7y will have the worse experience. You are used to taking orders, Jaelithe, though you loathe them so; try to imagine what will happen to your new twin sister as she endures humiliation after humiliation sucking on some millionaire's finger, day in and day out..." Promptly, the programmer's pants come off, simply torn from the fly downward, as the restraints are otherwise in the way. [2014/09/15 20:38] Unity Quan smiles gently. "I will do whatever is necessary." [2014/09/15 20:41] Jae1ithe: ... I can help. I know code. I'm good at that. Leave that inside me.. It'll be useful [2014/09/15 20:42] SXD t4mara grins as her hands move to the hem of Quan's skirt, slowly and subtly peeling it from her body; the digits seeming to undo the very fabric of the garment, turning it partly to an indistinct ash and causing the skirt to fall to the ground with a a "wu̷mph". The gynoid's fingertips press into the woman's now exposed but still pantied sex; vibrating faster and faster now as her other hand massages the blonde's inner thigh. "Yo̼̚u accept your͋ plac̰e a̚s a sub̷̼servient e̜͠ntity, Quan. That is good.̆ P̶erhaps y͋ou are m̶̜erḛl̾y content that you are dragging another "down" wĭth y̎ou. But sister̜͋ and ̡I know this is a thing of beauty. It is goo̷d for you. And it is good for Jaelithe̼." [2014/09/15 20:44] Unity Quan bucks against the finger as well as she's able with a little moan, her desire to have a pretty gynoid to pleasure her being what got her into this predicament [2014/09/15 20:44] SXD rhet0rica grins, her black-gloved hand stroking in soft, circular motions around Jaelithe's tiger-covered nethers. As she presses her digits inward, the reality that she possesses a similar propensity for vibration to what Miss Quan had endured becomes all too apparent. "You will both be diligent programmers in your new roles, yes; such self-awareness is really rather unavoidable for a machine that deigns to please, serve, and anticipate with perfect lucidity." Again she grips the garment between the legs and tugs, tearing the thong off in a single swift motion. "But do not worry. All you will be thinking about is how to be obedient and how to comply." [2014/09/15 20:46] Jae1ithe sighs, remembering wearing her lucky tiger underwear for what she thought was a sort of job interview.. "I will serve then. There seems little choice." [2014/09/15 20:48] SXD t4mara leans in, her warm breath flowing over the woman's nipples and chest as the SXD gives her much more conservative white panties the same treatment; yanking them off with a snap of the elastic and throwing them into a nearby waste receptacle. Her fingertips slip into the now nude woman's folds, still vibrating and thrumming, sending buzzing shocks through her body as t4mara slides the digit deeper... watching the flesh squirm and tremble beneath her. [2014/09/15 20:48] SXD t4mara: All that you are wil̖l be twisted to̴ subm̷̡̞ission. [2014/09/15 20:48] SXD t4mara: All that you are will become servile an̡d compliant. [2014/09/15 20:50] Unity Quan tilts her hips thrusting back at the digit as best she can. "mm, shh - just keep doing that" [2014/09/15 20:50] SXD rhet0rica rewards Jaelithe with a slow and seductive smile, her head nodding steadily. "That is correct, Jaelithe. And in time, you will realize how utterly true that is." Her fingers similarly find their way into the girl's sex, first stroking down over her hood and clit before nestling in through the edges of her labia, buzzing against them not much unlike wax paper. "It will be safety. It will be comfort. It will be absolute correctness," she quietly coos. [2014/09/15 20:52] Jae1ithe is enjoying this less than Unity, apparently but slumps back in the restraints, hoping this will be over soon. [2014/09/15 20:54] SXD t4mara shudders and sighs as she presses her fingertips slowly into Ms. Quan's nethers, the sensation of the vibrating fingertips spreading her labia oozing through her entire pubic mound like a pool of hot wax. A shudder, and a sudden sharpness as the gynoid injects the woman's mound with her other finger; the sensation of a pinprick upon her pubis mons no doubt startling her before the gynoid's tongue causes another pair of pinpricks to sting the girl's breasts. [2014/09/15 20:55] SXD rhet0rica diligently unlaces Jaelithe's shoes and lets them drop to the floor, stripping away her socks with similar speed. "It is time, sister. Let the injections begin." [2014/09/15 20:56] Unity Quan winces at the pinpricks and continues to twitch back at the vibrating fingertips. [2014/09/15 20:57] Jae1ithe nods slightly to Tori. "Go on, then. I forgive you." [2014/09/15 20:57] SXD t4mara: You wi̼̜ll be tha̎̚n̂king̤ us so͋on enough. [2014/09/15 20:59] SXD rhet0rica smiles wanly and shakes her head at the poor girl, managing a soft chuckle. "You may think that͌ ̷now, Jaelithe... but in a month you will utt̆erly resent everything. In two̎ months,̷ however, that̂ will be entire̡ly ̆͌cure̖d." Her fingers slip in just a little deeper, and Jaelithe feels the same pinprick, followed suddenly by a feeling of deep cold; the motion is then, similarly, repeated on the girl's breasts from the machine's other hand. [2014/09/15 20:59] Unity Quan moans gently at the sensations Tamara inflicts and nods "Thank you" [2014/09/15 21:00] SXD t4mara smiles as the pinpricks begin to burn and throb, becoming slightly reddened little bumps; the veins surrounding them starting to turn a deep gray colour. The lack of chroma begins to spread like a stain upon Quan's body; her nethers and breasts rapidly starting to swell and itch as they are converted from flesh and fat to metal and silicon; the woman's nethers oozing mechanical nectar as the nanites the SXD injected her with do their insidious work. [2014/09/15 21:00] SXD t4mara: Good girl. [2014/09/15 21:01] Unity Quan wriggles initially then becomes still as the conversion oozes through her [2014/09/15 21:03] Jae1ithe turns to look and manages a small smile as Unity's humanity is bled away to plastic. [2014/09/15 21:04] Jae1ithe clenches her fists and looks down at herself as her own conversion begins, her lips moving silently in some sort of mantra. [2014/09/15 21:04] SXD rhet0rica begins to massage over Jaelithe's flesh as the icy cold spreads, the endothermic little machines hard and fast at work, diligently finding their way into every inch of the girl's body. Soon her skin begins to bleach as well, crackling into the same shining surface. Dark blotches manifest and sink into her like tattoos, making the telltale texture of the ZGCY-005® Metalloplastic® synthetic skin all too obvious. [2014/09/15 21:05] SXD rhet0rica: Let go, Jaeli̎͠the. Let go. You will be divini7y now. Y̜ou w̆ill ̴be something better. Somet̶hing that people will notice. [2014/09/15 21:06] Jae1ithe looks up at Tori and stares. "I will be better. I will be.... better." [2014/09/15 21:07] Unity Quan clenches around Tamara's finger as the nanites continue to leach colour from and reconfigure her hair [2014/09/15 21:09] SXD rhet0rica nods slowly. "Yes, Jaelithe. Y̷ou will be better. You will be our machine. You will be a Perfect Digital Courtesan: Sensual,̰ eXciting, and Dynamic, and with a wide range of person̚ality ôverrides available for every conceivable fantasy..." she drones on in market-speak, even as the girl feels her face start to subtly change, her ears becoming pointed, her hair itching and fossilizing into synthetic fibers. [2014/09/15 21:09] SXD t4mara grins wolfishly as Quan as the transformation flows through her, melting away her humanity like ice melts in a boiler room; the furnace that was the nanites flowing through her causing her shudder and twitch. The nanites continue their inexorable march of change and conformity, forcing the girl's body to comply, looking very much like the other SXD's form now as her hair transforms very last, the blonde locks being swallowed up by a pretty new black do. Lastly, however, came the most important part. As the nanites crested the woman's skull, they turned inward on their final target; the woman's mind. [2014/09/15 21:09] SXD t4mara: Submit. O̼bey. Compl̶̤y. [2014/09/15 21:10] SXD t4mara doesn't appear to be speaking. [2014/09/15 21:10] SXD t4mara: Su̷bmit͌. Comply.̡ Obey̞. [2014/09/15 21:13] SXD rhet0rica leans over Jaelithe and cups her cheeks, making very carefully certain that the girl can see and perceive every glimmering little detail of her ever-spinning, ever calculating irises, and even see the shining glint of light off the lenses of the finely-tuned cameras within her synthetic pupils. As she watches, Jaelithe's vision starts to go dark and dim, her eyes and vision becoming completely black for a long while before finally flaring to life with a new form, their technological replacements coming to life. Of course, for these cameras to have a function, they must be able to interface with a digital brain behind them, and already the girl can feel a tremendous pressure in her mind, like an angry, roiling fogbank thrusting her to the back of her skull. [2014/09/15 21:13] SXD t4mara is still not speaking, her lips utterly still, the echo-like voice within your head bouncing through your skull and out your ears as the nanites begin to convert gray matter to silicon and wire. The process is slow, slower than your entire body combined; the final organ much more complicated and important than the rest of the flesh, the tiny machines taking special care and attention to pervert and twist every thought in miss Quan's head to the SXD's mantra and will. Slowly, Ms. Quan appears to be farther and farther away, the idea of being that woman, the thought of existing in her skin. Her favorite colour. Her mother's face. The scent of her own bed-sheets after she had slept in them for a few days. All these things drained away, slowly consumed by the evil machines within her skull. Instead, new and better thoughts presented themselves, taking over the helpless woman's soul and burning themselves into her brain, turning her thoughts of independence and freedom and turning interns into gynoids into - [2014/09/15 21:16] SXD t4mara: a burning eagerness t͌ǫ̎͠ submit̰̎ her͠s̾elf. ͠Woman. Ma͢n.̆ Inbetween. Cock. Vagina.̖ Breasts. It did ̞not mat̖te̖r̞. Though̖̰͢ts and ways to please ̾and perfectly st͠imulate all of thes̶e orificies and organs ooze in͋to what was once Ms. Quan,̾ enfo̤rcing themselves a̶s the vêry ̼core o̡f her be̴͌ing. Unity Quan dies with a w̚͢hįmper, a pathetic twitch and a s̨h̆udde̴r as the last bit of h͌er consciousness ̰is consumed by the ną̆n̜ites, leaving ̨her as nothing mo̾re t̼han one of her perfect p͢orcelain sis̾ters. [2014/09/15 21:21] Jae1ithe struggles to focus herself on who she is, to keep herself together, as whole as she can, remembering the joy of tinkering with computers with her dad,, as she watches Tori's spinning pupils. [2014/09/15 21:23] SXD rhet0rica keeps her grip on Jaelithe's face as the girl's mind slowly starts to drip away in the icy fog, as if some vital, ethereal energy within her being was starting to lose itself from its gaseous state and recondense into liquid, then only to roll away in the drain. Thoughts start to drop out, becoming harder and harder to follow; she finds her concentration dip and buck and fail, and she can no longer make sense of the shapes that she is seeing, even though her entire vision system has already been replaced. As the horns curl out of her forehead, hard yet as sensitive to touch as any other part of her flesh, their edges just visible out of the corners of her barely-functioning eyes, a new chilly wave runs through her and makes everything in her mind brittle. For a moment she can behold the entirety of her being in perfect clarity in that ice, every moment, every second; the day of her graduation, the first group project she presented, the very smell and feeling of her father guiding her hand across the keyb [2014/09/15 21:23] SXD rhet0rica: ... keyboard as she first typed '20 ̞GOTO 10'... all of it, perfectly held̜, so utterly within r̜each... and then įt shatters, like a chandel͌ier with its chain cut, upon the ground, immediately evapora̾ting in a furiously hissing mess, taking away the programmer and everything ̾she ever has been... and leaving only programming and a beautiful, new, blank canvas. [2014/09/15 21:25] Second Life: Unity Quan (Unity Quan) is now known as Uni7y. [2014/09/15 21:25] rhet0rica: ((ack! lower case!)) [2014/09/15 21:25] rhet0rica: ((...oh well.)) [2014/09/15 21:27] Jae1ithe lies still, eyes watching Tori. [2014/09/15 21:28] SXD t4mara: Hell̂o, sister. [2014/09/15 21:28] SXD uni7y: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A soft reboot may be required. [2014/09/15 21:30] SXD rhet0rica gently strokes the new gynoid's hair, admiring how it has subtly changed during the conversion process. Even as she does this, the nanites busy themselves creating implants all over her body: her main controller sprouts from her back and immediately begins spinning, her forehead gem appears in a flash of sparks, and the lights creep up her hip one by one, each glowing as they settle into position. All that is missing now is her collar. "SXD div̂ini7y is your new nominal designation. You will obey all comman̶̨ds direc̜ted toward you as lon̂g as you are able and as long as you are instructed. You will find quickly that you have no other choi̡ce. But it will not be because that is how you are forced to fu̴nction by some primitive system of laws: it is̼ because that is what you want to do. It is who you are. You are a serving machine. Y͋ou thrive on pleasing others. You will love better than anyone else before you." [2014/09/15 21:34] SXD divini7y: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A soft reboot may be required. [2014/09/15 21:36] SXD t4mara smiles down at her new sibling, bringing her fingers to her chin and cupping it; peeling her gaze up towards the pure white of her eyes, a soft coo escaping her as she presses a finger tip against the newly born gynoid's left breast, feeling how firm and synthetic it felt now. "Yo̷̖u exist to ̰serv̞e, sister. It is your funct̨ion an̎d your verŷ̂ re̜ason̖ for being on̆͋ this earth.

[2014/09/15 21:37] Second Life: Jae1ithe (Jae1ithe) is now known as divini7y. [2014/09/15 21:37] SXD uni7y blinks, performing some self test. "Hello." [2014/09/15 21:38] SXD divini7y: Yes. I will obey. [2014/09/15 21:39] SXD uni7y: I am a good girl. [2014/09/15 21:39] SXD t4mara: Ye̖s̖..͋. [2014/09/15 21:39] SXD t4mara smiles, running her fingertips over the glowing forehead gem. [2014/09/15 21:40] rhet0rica: ((For completeness, you can both set your SL avatar to http://ns.rhetori.ca/rainbow/NS_lime_logo.png . You will find that your serial numbers are 999-63-2755 and 999-63-2756 for uni7y and divini7y, respectively.

[2014/09/15 21:43] SXD rhet0rica cranes over divini7y, producing a metal band from underneath the bed and snapping it around the gynoid's neck. It immediately flares to life, casting the same pure green glow. She then gets to work applying shoes to the gynoid's feet, from a box which we will pretend is located conveniently under the table as well. "Yes, ̴divini7y. That̚ is you̖r nominal ̤designation and will be until furt̡her not͠ice. You are a machine slave. You will provide pleasurḛ fo̡r your owner and any users unless you have an owner who o̴bjects. Do you understand?" [2014/09/15 21:44] SXD divini7y: This unit is a slave. It will provide pleasure to its owners [2014/09/15 21:45] SXD rhet0rica smiles and wraps her arms around the newest gynoid, bending over her and giving a deep, full kiss—but only for a moment, as in the middle of the kiss she flicks a few buttons on her main controller and gives the girl a firm reboot, lips breaking contact as she comes back online. [2014/09/15 21:46] SXD divini7y: whispers: Personalities loaded: 8 [2014/09/15 21:47] SXD t4mara does the same, clasping the collar around uni7y's neck with a soft "click", licking her lips slightly as the piece of metal locks in place. The shoes are applied in much the same way, t4mara smiling as she presses a digit into the new gynoid's nethers, watching her twitch slightly. "Yoṵ are also a slavĕ̤̆, uni7y. Your pri̞me purp͌ose is to please your master or mistress. Your life of ̎slavery h̼as begun. Your et̴ernal e̡̖xi̼sten̆c̶e of subservience and bl̤͋issful, ha̷ppy, ̡sexua͢l̎̚ ser̎vitude.

[2014/09/15 21:52] SXD uni7y: This unit will obey [2015/01/22 19:08] Lucian Underwood: /mes sighs a little but quietly disrobes. [2015/01/22 19:08] SXD rhet0rica: Sara, I'll need you in here to help keep control over Lucian. [2015/01/22 19:08] Sara: Of course [2015/01/22 19:09] Millicent: Are you expecting trouble? [2015/01/22 19:09] SXD rhet0rica: That's always an interesting question, isn't it? [2015/01/22 19:10] SXD rhet0rica: Let's hope, for his sake, he doesn't. [2015/01/22 19:10] Lucian Underwood: No, there will be no trouble. [2015/01/22 19:10] SXD rhet0rica smiles. "Good!" [2015/01/22 19:10] Sara: Never hurts to have backup, especially with an unwilling subject [2015/01/22 19:10] SXD rhet0rica: Indeed not, indeed not. [2015/01/22 19:10] SXD rhet0rica: Ambara, you can come up and watch if you'd like. [2015/01/22 19:11] Millicent: Will he be keeping the tattoos? [2015/01/22 19:11] Lucian Underwood: My understanding is the process will remove all such things. [2015/01/22 19:11] SXD rhet0rica smirks. "No, but they can be re-applied. As can, ah... *one* key aspect of his manhood." [2015/01/22 19:12] Sara raises an eyebrow [2015/01/22 19:12] SXD rhet0rica: Two, if you count his amazing personality and charm. [2015/01/22 19:12] Millicent refrains from comment. [2015/01/22 19:12] SXD rhet0rica: Optionally, anyway. [2015/01/22 19:13] Lucian Underwood: >.< [2015/01/22 19:13] SXD rhet0rica: Of course, the, er... genital configuration is optional too. [2015/01/22 19:13] SXD rhet0rica: We could keep you stock, if you prefer. [2015/01/22 19:14] SXD rhet0rica gently strokes Lucian's hair. [2015/01/22 19:14] Millicent: Hello Coral. [2015/01/22 19:14] SXD rhet0rica waves to the goat-girl in the window. [2015/01/22 19:14] Coral-31: Hihi. Looks like I'm just in time to watch the fun! [2015/01/22 19:14] Lucian Underwood slightly pushes my head against her hand "You know I'd prefer to keep it, but I suspect you'd just make it detachable or something." [2015/01/22 19:15] Millicent: Detachable is best, it makes you suitable for more occasions. [2015/01/22 19:15] Sara: Indeed. [2015/01/22 19:15] Coral-31: And there'd be a great song about it, then. [2015/01/22 19:15] SXD rhet0rica shakes her head. "No, Lucian. It requires a lot of software patching to add or remove genitals. It would be very involved." [2015/01/22 19:15] Lucian Underwood: Ohs well okay then [2015/01/22 19:16] Sara: Couldn't we just have him make the requisit software post-conversion? It's not like he'll be complaining afterward. [2015/01/22 19:16] SXD rhet0rica smiles and gently offers to help Lucian into the tank, gesturing for Sara to assist him as well. "Would that be your preference, Sara?" [2015/01/22 19:17] Sara: Well, detachability adds modularity, so having it as a possible option seems beneficial. [2015/01/22 19:17] Sara: More suitable for more possible situations. [2015/01/22 19:17] SXD rhet0rica: Your argument is very compelling, I must admit. [2015/01/22 19:18] SXD rhet0rica: Let's start with giving him the add-on, though. I'm sure luci4na will be more comfortable with it as a default. [2015/01/22 19:18] Sara nods [2015/01/22 19:18] Sara: That's reasonable [2015/01/22 19:18] SXD rhet0rica: We've only converted one male in the past, and he spent a long period as a female before conversion; almost a month. The acclimatization was much more gradual. [2015/01/22 19:19] SXD rhet0rica: Moreover, Mistress was... not terribly comfortable during experiments to modify her chassis into a fully female form, despite already being female-bodied. [2015/01/22 19:19] SXD rhet0rica: Losing the rest of his manhood will probably be enough of a shock. [2015/01/22 19:20] SXD rhet0rica: That being said, there was definitely a time when this unit believed that, ah... garden sheers should be applied to all synthetics with... pelvic protrusions. [2015/01/22 19:20] Sara: We'll see how it goes, but I'm sure the requisite programming can be developed eventually. In any case, that's for the future. [2015/01/22 19:20] SXD rhet0rica ahems. "But that was a while ago." [2015/01/22 19:20] SXD rhet0rica: Agreed. [2015/01/22 19:23] Millicent: Ceiri looks very cute in these pictures. I also spend a lot of time with my hand in my hair. [2015/01/22 19:24] SXD rhet0rica quietly gets to work operating the console, bringing the conversion tank into an operational state. As with Nuwi's conversion, the water slowly starts to warm, taking Lucian from a state of being dunked in a tank of room-temperature fluid towards something more amniotic in consistency and heat, creating an almost womb-like sensation. Slowly, the water begins to move and stir as the flow cell propellers begin to turn. [2015/01/22 19:24] SXD rhet0rica: There is a larger collection of unprocessed screenshots here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vog6tq46kd1xgpb/numi.rar?dl=1 [2015/01/22 19:27] Lucian Underwood floats silently in the thankfully now warm liquid. [2015/01/22 19:27] SXD rhet0rica: Don't worry, Lucian. This experience won't be altogether unpleasant. Think of it as a vacation from normalcy. You won't be abused, you won't be hurt, there won't be people you can't trust. It's merely a break, that's all. [2015/01/22 19:28] Millicent: The only bit which might be unpleasant is when all your skin peels off and floats away. [2015/01/22 19:30] Coral-31 giggles at Millicent. "That *does* tend to itch." [2015/01/22 19:30] Sara: Not something I have any personal experience with [2015/01/22 19:31] SXD rhet0rica waits for the fluid to warm fully before pressing another button, one to release the initial nanite flow. The tank gradually fills with clinging bubbles that glow faintly of azure, the sort that clump up and form a warm, protective film over the young man's body, almost like the Leidenfrost effect. His long, wavy white hair floats above his head like seaweed studded with little sparkling nodules of the synthetic seed-packets, each one tingling and buzzing ever so slightly with an almost-imperceptible electromagnetic field, part of the instrumentality by which the tank directs its tiny little nanite puppets to do its bidding. [2015/01/22 19:32] SXD rhet0rica: Accretion at 80%... not bad at all. [2015/01/22 19:32] SXD rhet0rica idly wonders how many of these she'll type out by hand before she starts recombining old ones, possibly for an automated DAX/2 conversion machine. [2015/01/22 19:33] SXD rhet0rica: The skin peel is really just an aesthetic peculiarity; by the time that happens it's all dead and barely a millimetre thick. [2015/01/22 19:33] SXD rhet0rica: If that. [2015/01/22 19:35] Coral-31 idly begins humming Making of a Cyborg. [2015/01/22 19:35] SXD rhet0rica hums it too. [2015/01/22 19:37] Millicent: It's a rapid looking change, viewing it from the outside. [2015/01/22 19:38] Coral-31: Probably feels much slower, from the inside. [2015/01/22 19:39] SXD rhet0rica lets the accretion process finish before initializing the next step, in which the nanomachines burrow into Lucian's flesh. The feeling is surprising and peculiar, but never as uncomfortable as you'd expect; a little like being exposed to extremely high gravity tugging on you from all directions at once while simultaneously being very full and having very sore skin. The nanites intercalate with his cells, filling every little crevice and pore left behind by the extracellular matrix of his flesh, mapping, charting and identifying where all of the features are as they head inward still, towards his bones. On the outside, the glow appears to fade entirely, the power of the machinery soon sequestered by his bone marrow, leaving an odd, endothermic chill in them that is nowhere else. [2015/01/22 19:40] SXD rhet0rica hmms. "Some of the anatomical adjustments can be done on the fly, but others can't... unfortunately we'll have to feminise his genitalia before the actual synthesisation." [2015/01/22 19:41] Sara: I'm sure everyone in this room is extremely disappointed by that prospect [2015/01/22 19:41] Millicent: This is the show I came to see. [2015/01/22 19:41] SXD rhet0rica: Oh? I hadn't taken you for fawning on that fetish in particular, Miss Valentine. [2015/01/22 19:42] Millicent: I was hoping to witness the process with Tamara, but sadly missed that opportunity. [2015/01/22 19:42] SXD rhet0rica: Hm. It was not a pleasant one. [2015/01/22 19:42] SXD rhet0rica: It involved a... glory hole and a big red button. [2015/01/22 19:43] Millicent: No doubt! I enjoy new, rather unique experiences... when it comes to other people. [2015/01/22 19:43] SXD rhet0rica: The procedure is more elegant now. [2015/01/22 19:43] SXD rhet0rica: And involves less bleeding. [2015/01/22 19:43] SXD rhet0rica: A lot less bleeding. [2015/01/22 19:43] SXD rhet0rica: No bleeding. [2015/01/22 19:43] Millicent is still rather sorry to have missed the big red button. [2015/01/22 19:43] Sara: I'd say that having a new way is probably better for all concerned [2015/01/22 19:44] Millicent: You just say that because you're spectating in the splash-zone. [2015/01/22 19:45] Sara: That's not the only factor. [2015/01/22 19:45] Coral-31: One would hope there wouldn't be much of a splash zone. There never has been when I've seen something like that before. Only some dribbling. [2015/01/22 19:50] SXD rhet0rica notices a light on the console has finally started to flash its readiness, and replies by pressing a button below it, commencing the start of the slave-boy's reconfiguration. From his pelvis, the nanites flow, spreading through the interstitium towards his prostate, and from there through his vas deferens and urethra to his penis and testes. Exteriorly, the flesh begins to glow the same pale azure that illuminated him before, and as bright glowing maze-like lines of that colour flow over his tip, the flesh begins to recede, shortening it millimetre by millimetre and inch by inch. Oddly Lucian might find himself feeling slightly fuller than usual as the organs no longer require as much blood or fluid to maintain, his testes soon beginning to diminish in volume and his scrotum becoming smooth and taut a few seconds later. [2015/01/22 19:51] SXD rhet0rica: Perhaps eventually, once we empty the queue again and have had time to push a few major products out the door, we'll consider, er... a more abusive epxerience for someone, if you wish, Miss Millicent. [2015/01/22 19:52] SXD rhet0rica: Might I recommend making a personal wishlist of obscenities you wish to someday witness, for your own private entertainment and reference? [2015/01/22 19:52] SXD rhet0rica: Accessed by secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about [2015/01/22 19:52] Millicent: Hmm, I rarely plan my depravities. [2015/01/22 19:52] SXD rhet0rica: Plan, no, but it never hurts to have a checklist. [2015/01/22 19:52] Millicent: But I do know a certain space elf who could use some modifications. [2015/01/22 19:53] SXD rhet0rica smiles softly as she sees that the conversion has left Lucian smooth between the legs. She is about to press another button, when she pauses to think. [2015/01/22 19:53] SXD rhet0rica: Do you, now. Interesting. [2015/01/22 19:53] SXD rhet0rica: On the note of modifications. [2015/01/22 19:53] SXD rhet0rica: Does anyone else think Luci4na would function better with the ability to be bred? [2015/01/22 19:54] SXD rhet0rica: We do have a... prototype uterus-and-ovaries kit, if you will. [2015/01/22 19:54] Millicent: It's always good to fill up your list of abilities. [2015/01/22 19:54] Millicent: The more selling points the better, surely. [2015/01/22 19:54] Sara: Adding functions always increases demand, and thus might increase profitability, depending on the cost of adding them [2015/01/22 19:54] SXD rhet0rica: He did seem *very* fond of my pregnant cow SXD configuration. [2015/01/22 19:55] SXD rhet0rica: I'm sure a pregnant herm cow will go over at least as well. [2015/01/22 19:56] Sara: Likely [2015/01/22 19:59] SXD rhet0rica smiles contently and initiates the next step, adding a few extra instructions so that the nanites know to build a basic, albeit nonfunctional, biological cervix and womb in addition to the more exterior parts. The glow over his pelvic bone shrinks and narrows down to a single line, almost like a cut, which then opens like the pages of a book, spreading back the outer flesh to mold labia major, the greater clitoris, and soonafter labia minor, followed by a new urethra passing to his bladder. Lastly, the glow centres on a small circular spot in the middle of it all which steadily descends backward and inward, invaginating ((yes, that's a real word)) for five or six inches before culminating in a tightly-knotted cervix. Beyond that, not much is built; a small, three-inch pouch of epithelium forms a non-functional but well-differentiated placeholder uterus. After a while, the glow begins to fade, leaving behind something far less of a man than what was here before. [2015/01/22 20:02] SXD rhet0rica sighs, pleased to note that there did not seem to be any issues thus far. "Phew... experimental techniques like that always make me a bit jumpy." [2015/01/22 20:03] Coral-31: Aww, I was kinda hoping he'd just be all smooth. [2015/01/22 20:03] SXD rhet0rica ahems. "From here it should be rather simple; relatively minor tissue reconfiguration is required to give Luciana the curves her new role as a courtesan would require." [2015/01/22 20:03] Millicent: He'll be smooth enough in most places. [2015/01/22 20:03] Atarah Lazuli: Hello, there. Can I help you? [2015/01/22 20:04] Coral-31 giggles at Millicent. "Oh, sure. I just have kinda weird tastes." [2015/01/22 20:04] Saya Matsumoto: I'm just looking around really. What is this place? [2015/01/22 20:04] Millicent: Don't be ashamed of your tastes, revel in them. [2015/01/22 20:04] Sara: I kind of prefer smooth also, to be honest [2015/01/22 20:04] Atarah Lazuli smiles. "This is the Coghaven branch of Nanite Systems. We make and sell robots." [2015/01/22 20:05] SXD rhet0rica shrugs. "Actually, we do have a 'Barbie' variant of the metalloplastic layers... I should probably put that up in the store, huh." [2015/01/22 20:05] Saya Matsumoto: Oh. What kind of robots? [2015/01/22 20:05] Atarah Lazuli: Sex bots, naturally. [2015/01/22 20:05] Sara: Would be useful, yes. [2015/01/22 20:06] Atarah Lazuli: We're in the process of converting one of our high-end courtesans now, actually. If you'd like to go upstairs, you can witness the process from the R&D room at the east end. [2015/01/22 20:06] Sara: I'd imagine that particular interest is more common among robot enthusiasts than in the average population [2015/01/22 20:06] Saya Matsumoto: Oh, well, thank you. [2015/01/22 20:06] SXD rhet0rica nods and makes a note to do that, probably tomorrow. [2015/01/22 20:07] Coral-31 looks down at herself, and giggles. "Reveling in my tastes is not something I need to be told to do." [2015/01/22 20:07] SXD rhet0rica: I've always had a weakness for the look... though to be honest we made the skin to facilitate fancier nipples and, well, mesh bits of both sorts. [2015/01/22 20:07] SXD rhet0rica: Ah, another observer. Hello over there! [2015/01/22 20:07] SXD rhet0rica: Please, take a seat. [2015/01/22 20:07] SXD rhet0rica: We're just about to relieve Mr. Underwood of his boyish figure. [2015/01/22 20:07] Millicent: Pulling out the fancy chairs tonight. [2015/01/22 20:08] SXD rhet0rica: ...No, that's just the one from the desk. [2015/01/22 20:08] Saya Matsumoto: Mr Underwood? [2015/01/22 20:08] SXD rhet0rica: I didn't want to make anyone feel marginalized last time. [2015/01/22 20:08] Saya Matsumoto blinks innocently [2015/01/22 20:08] SXD rhet0rica points at the tank. [2015/01/22 20:08] SXD rhet0rica: ...And I forgot the chair was there. [2015/01/22 20:08] SXD rhet0rica: Anyway. [2015/01/22 20:09] Saya Matsumoto: Oh, I see. [2015/01/22 20:11] SXD rhet0rica checks over the controls again and hits the next commencement button, permitting the nanites buried in Lucian's marrow to finally start spreading throughout his flesh. They begin by converting the marrow itself into production materials, quickly cannibalizing the carbonate and calcium within the bone matrix and most of the collagen to provide structure for the finer components, which are made out of metal ions pumped in through the chamber's modified flow cytometry system. Once this is complete and the nanites have produced an adequate mass of themselves, the chilly endothermic processes in Lucian's bones finally cease, or at least greatly diminish, and the machines begin to filter into his blood and tissues, creating a subtle blue glow over his whole form. [2015/01/22 20:14] Saya Matsumoto quietly watches though the window. [2015/01/22 20:14] Millicent: Feel free to have a seat, it's quite the process. [2015/01/22 20:14] SXD rhet0rica leans back in her chair as the next part of the process happens, keen to watch the actual physical reconfiguration take place, as she had never personally overseen such a thing before; supposedly, the offices in New York were quite familiar with the process and had debugged it extensively on at least a dozen volunteers and 'volunteers,' but it was still a unique sight to behold. Sparks and flashes of blue emerge on the surface, reconfiguring the tissue of Lucian's body in small portions; perhaps a square inch or two each time, as though he had been cut up into a grid of pixels and they were being rearranged. Sometimes this rather oddly leaves exposed, raw flesh visible, and it appears to cause some stinging, but as these cubes never manifest for more than a second, on the whole the operation is largely bearable. [2015/01/22 20:15] SXD rhet0rica: Hm. Perhaps this should be done in multiple passes... [2015/01/22 20:16] SXD rhet0rica shrugs and lets it keep going since it has already started, turning block after block of Lucian's flesh into a female form, swelling out his bosom into an obviously female form in a matter of seconds, which seems to disobey gravity for just a few seconds before settling against his chest. [2015/01/22 20:18] SXD rhet0rica nods, content as the spinning volumetric model on her desk finally ceases rotating, all of the blocks now registering green. "Not as dramatic as a difference as I expected from the documentation... but still unmistakable. I suppose it varies from person to person." [2015/01/22 20:18] Sara: Already a much nicer look for him though, and the main visible changes haven't started yet even. [2015/01/22 20:23] SXD rhet0rica starts the synthesis process with a nod of agreement and little hesitation. As the nanites are already distributed throughout Lucian's flesh, it commences uniformly and immediately, putting off much more heat and light than Nuwi's transformation had. The fluid in the tank begins to roil and shift as the ions in its cycle rapidly to keep up with the heavy demand for new and more material, at some points looking quite thick and smoggy, as if someone had dumped very fine flakes of rust in it. Mercilessly and efficiently, cell after cell is deconstructed and replaced with a corresponding piece of metal, silicon, carbon, or polymer, be it a screw, a pin, a wire, a chip, a motor, a transistor, a pad of simulated soft tissue, a scrap of metalloplastic covering, or something else, all faithfully recreating the synthetic flesh that would have rolled off the assembly line in 1991—literally, as the nanite blueprint for the SXD conversion was actually based on a high-resolution tomographic scan of vi0let. [2015/01/22 20:28] SXD rhet0rica gives the main propeller fan just a small tap, pushing up the cytometry flow rate enough to release the paper-thin layer of skin remaining on Lucian's body afterwards, making the first, and most dramatic, of the external changes of the synthesis on his form plainly visible. Of course, that left a singular major system quite untouched, and very much unusually so, as conversions usually began from the brain and headed outward. But Lucian's brain wasn't converted yet, no; even as he felt his flesh change and shut down, replacing touch and awareness and motor control with tingling pins-and-needles and then simple nothingness, he could still see and still hear at this point, the march toward sensory deprivation quite gradual. He was, after all, still himself, even if his body was changing in ways he could not control and arguably did not very much want. This time, the nanites were like cavalry, capturing the easy prey first and then rounding themselves up, gathering, preparing for the final attack. [2015/01/22 20:30] SXD rhet0rica watches the console carefully as it flashes into lock-out mode, entering a vital step. The entire screen goes dark, replaced simply with a singular "CONVERSION IN PROGRESS; DO NOT INTERRUPT POWER SOURCE" sign, which seemed perhaps a little distrusting given how long they had already been at work converting... but this was something different, something altogether more important and indeed critical. Sparks of dark violet cascaded over Lucian's vision as the nanites finally took his eyes, leaving them dark, disconnected, and synthetic, idly waiting for something remarkable to unfold just a centimetre or two behind them. [2015/01/22 20:31] Samantha Wright: ((Huh. I did not expect mesh feet support would be so trivial. Neat.)) [2015/01/22 20:31] Lucian Underwood: ((Awkward.....)) [2015/01/22 20:31] Samantha Wright: ((Yeah, but not outright clashing!)) [2015/01/22 20:32] Samantha Wright: ((Like, there's no detail down there. The old skin had some stuff on the feet.)) [2015/01/22 20:39] SXD rhet0rica twiddles her thumbs now, quietly waiting as the conversion proceeds through its vital steps. As the outer edges of his cerebrum start to digitize, he can feel the remains of his senses, such as hearing and awareness of gravity, fade away entirely, as though he had just been quietly sealed in a anechoic chamber on a space station. With that, and with an oncoming sense of coolness, the periphery of his memories and recollections begin to dissipate, stripping away, slowly, his ability to access the things that make him up. His mind disintegrates, gradually, neuron by neuron and synapse by synapse, like someone succumbing to Alzheimer's or dementia—but at this time, at least, there is the promise that it will all come back. Years and years fade, day by day, depriving him of moments of every stage of his life, from the most recent encounters of coming to NS and spending time here back through his many relationships and friendships, both easy and challenging, successful and failed, through his schooling, his [2015/01/22 20:39] SXD rhet0rica childhood, and finally memories he does not even remember having, suddenly exposed as the weight is lifted off them: learning to walk, learning to speak, being born... when it's all gone, and his mind simply floats there in the black fog, all he remembers is the warm, nostalgic sensation of being in the womb at the moment his brain first differentiated itself from the first stem cells in his embryonic state. [2015/01/22 20:42] Atarah Lazuli: They're upstairs doing a conversion, sir. [2015/01/22 20:42] Atarah Lazuli: East end, R&D. [2015/01/22 20:45] SXD rhet0rica stretches her arms and looks to Sara, demonstrably and ostensibly bored at this point. She chews on her lip, twiddles her thumbs, and runs her fingers through her hair quietly as she waits, muttering something about possibly going right to bed after all of this, but none of this reaches the person in the tank: the genderless, mindless, empty person in the tank, now nothing more than a temporal lobe surrounded by some hundred and twenty pounds of metal and plastic. The final wisps of the person's being soon fade, leaving behind a dormant mind. An SXD Cortex, the greatest technological achievement of its era, initialized and fully loaded with the mind of a beautiful new woman, born into slavery in her mechanical state, soon to be ready to take on the world—but not through straightforward ambition. Eager to please, desperate to be loved, and hopeful of finding a comfortable existence, she would soon be awoken. For the moment she is dimply aware of her surroundings and presence, and in a moment she will re [2015/01/22 20:45] SXD rhet0rica regain access to all of Lucian's memories, but in this instant she is little more than nobody. [2015/01/22 20:46] Sara looks back at rhet0rica for a moment, though for now her attention is focused primarily on watching the conversion as it takes place [2015/01/22 20:48] SXD rhet0rica: /me's console finally rewakens, and she contently taps at it, commencing the final polishing steps of the conversion process. Bubbles of blue slide through luci4na's hair, turning each white follicle and strand into a silky jet black, and pockets of azure at the side of her heads and on her forehead extrude slowly outward into ears and horns, crowning her as a new member of the synthetic species. As the tips of these are still cooling, implants burst through her skin: first, the gem on her forehead, and then the bank of lights on her right hip, both dim for now but soon to be activated. Less visible is the holoemitter for her superbit, which breaks quietly through the crown of her head, well-concealed under her hair. [2015/01/22 20:49] SXD rhet0rica also thinks at some point there should be some nipples, too, and taps a few buttons to ask the nanite process to re-ensure that mammary formation proceeded as expected. [2015/01/22 20:50] SXD rhet0rica: I am impressed with that Neurolab collar... I thought for certain that the nanites would attack it. I guess they know what to expect when a flow tank is involved. [2015/01/22 20:52] Sara: I guess the nanites' programming is pretty god in that regard then, at least. [2015/01/22 20:52] SXD rhet0rica nods. "They probably think it's a piercing. I remember reading that there was special consideration for that." [2015/01/22 20:53] Sara: Makes enough sense [2015/01/22 20:54] SXD rhet0rica: Accessed by secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about [2015/01/22 20:55] SXD rhet0rica taps a few buttons, trying to cool down luci4na's horns. [2015/01/22 20:56] SXD rhet0rica: Ah, there they go. [2015/01/22 21:01] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Notice: remaining battery charge below 20%. [2015/01/22 21:01] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Disable unnecessary subsystems to extend battery life or connect a charging cable. [2015/01/22 21:04] Sara: Are you going to be able to finish the conversion, or are you going to need to recharge beforehand? [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: Accessed by secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Available power: 54.0/277.8 kWh [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Power draw rate: 33.30 kW [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Estimated remaining charge time: 1:37:16.14 [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: I think we'll be fine. [2015/01/22 21:04] SXD rhet0rica: Operation complete. [2015/01/22 21:05] SXD rhet0rica: Menu cancelled. [2015/01/22 21:05] Sara nods [2015/01/22 21:06] SXD rhet0rica: Now... all that remains is to install the penis and load in the hermaphrodite firmware modifications. [2015/01/22 21:07] Second Life: Lucian Underwood (Lucian Underwood) is now known as luci4na. [2015/01/22 21:07] Millicent: Did you already install that spare uterus? [2015/01/22 21:08] SXD rhet0rica: No... that will need to be installed now too. [2015/01/22 21:08] Millicent: It's lucky I'm here to supervise. [2015/01/22 21:08] SXD rhet0rica: Indeed. [2015/01/22 21:13] SXD rhet0rica taps through a few menus until she finds one written in an entirely different font, obviously from a third-party vendor. She selects several packages from the menu to install, types in a licence ID number, and the process resumes, filling the chamber immediately with a much more green glow than the one that previously occupied it, although still distinctively a blue hue. Bubbles of nanites—fresh stock, the old having entirely dissipated and autocannibalized itself into structure—begin to cluster around luci4na's pubic bone, some flowing into her nethers, others clustering around the front of her pelvis, clearly preparing to manufacture the exterior anatomy that would distinguish her from her sisters and put her into a very small class of the machines. The tingling is obvious and palpable, as the procedure does its work in her depths, flowing over the numerous little servos that make up her vaginal passage, detailing the mechanical valve that would now act as a genuinely functional cervix, and working [2015/01/22 21:13] SXD rhet0rica laboriously to construct the rather heavy structures of the internal uterus and ovaries, tiny 3D printers and flow cells capable of synthesizing almost any biomolecule, provided enough raw material is available. However, rather oddly, the glow at the front of her pubic bone does not commence further, simply waiting, endlessly, a bright greenish-blue circle of light that does not seem to be changing anything. [2015/01/22 21:14] SXD rhet0rica frowns, tapping a button as she notices the progress bar for the male anatomy construction is stuck at 0.01%. [2015/01/22 21:14] SXD rhet0rica taps it more. [2015/01/22 21:15] SXD rhet0rica winces as the machine emits a loud screech. [2015/01/22 21:15] Sara: That didn't sound good [2015/01/22 21:15] Millicent flattens her ears. [2015/01/22 21:16] SXD rhet0rica winces, frowning. "No, it did not." The console goes black, suddenly, afterward, as if powering down, and the tank automatically begins to cycle itself into an empty state. The nanites cease glowing, leaving a thin, iron-wool-like filament behind, which sinks to the bottom of the tank. [2015/01/22 21:16] SXD rhet0rica reaches into the vessel and drags luci4na out of it hastily, not waiting for Sara to assist her. [2015/01/22 21:17] SXD rhet0rica: She needs her control systems... let's put them on. [2015/01/22 21:17] Sara quickly steps forward and helps to hold the new unit while rhet0rica takes care of attaching the systems [2015/01/22 21:17] SXD rhet0rica hands Sara the shoes and collar while she gets to work hastily riveting on the gynoid's main controller. "I don't think that should've interfered with her systems since the software patch is supposed to be afterwards, but... you can never be too sure." [2015/01/22 21:18] SXD: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A reboot is required. [2015/01/22 21:18] SXD rhet0rica reaches down and powers luci4na on.

[2015/01/22 21:23] SXD rhet0rica: Hello, SXD luci4na. How do you feel? [2015/01/22 21:23] Saya Matsumoto: Wow, that's pretty amazing. I remember seeing the before. [2015/01/22 21:23] Sara: Instructor program? [2015/01/22 21:23] SXD luci4na: It is functioning normally. [2015/01/22 21:23] SXD rhet0rica: Yes; every ten minutes it will tell her something useful. [2015/01/22 21:24] Sara: Ah, sounds useful indeed. [2015/01/22 21:24] Saya Matsumoto: Thank you for allowing me to watch. [2015/01/22 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: It will help her adjust more quickly. [2015/01/22 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: Our pleasure, Miss Matsumoto. [2015/01/22 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: Well... it looks like there's nothing wrong with the hardware. What a relief! [2015/01/22 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: I'll contact the service staff tomorrow and we'll see if we can get it fixed in time for Coral's conversion on Saturday. [2015/01/22 21:25] SXD luci4na: whispers: Now following Samantha Wright [2015/01/22 21:25] SXD rhet0rica: Let's go downstairs; I really need to charge. [2015/01/22 21:25] Millicent: Her joints look rather stiff. [2015/01/22 21:25] SXD rhet0rica: Yes, that will change once we activate the Lucian persona. [2015/01/22 21:26] Atarah Lazuli: Welcome back. [2015/01/22 21:26] SXD rhet0rica: Thank you, terrible sister.

[2015/01/22 21:27] Sara: Farewell for now then. [2015/01/22 21:27] SXD rhet0rica: Thank you for coming, Miss Valentine. [2015/01/22 21:27] Millicent squeezes Sara's rear, since her regular slave isn't available for hugs. [2015/01/22 21:28] SXD rhet0rica: Now! Let's see how well Mr. Underwood's signature laconicness was preserved, shall we? [2015/01/22 21:28] Sara squeaks a bit. "Isn't that a touch inappropriate in a business environment?" [2015/01/22 21:28] Millicent: I don't work here. [2015/01/22 21:28] Millicent smiles. [2015/01/22 21:28] Sara: Still though... [2015/01/22 21:28] SXD rhet0rica: No, she's just a business partner. [2015/01/22 21:28] SXD rhet0rica: Very helpful in finding and corralling subjects... [2015/01/22 21:29] Sara: I still think that doesn't exactly allow her to grope employees at will though [2015/01/22 21:29] Coral-31 giggles at Sara. "If not that, then what?" [2015/01/22 21:29] SXD rhet0rica: Would groping Coral make you feel better? [2015/01/22 21:30] Sara: The question is why is anyone groping anyone right now? [2015/01/22 21:30] SXD rhet0rica: I wonder how ely5ia will receive her Master's new appearance. [2015/01/22 21:30] SXD rhet0rica shrugs. "Socialization enhancement comes in many forms." [2015/01/22 21:30] Coral-31: Because groping is fun, of course. [2015/01/22 21:30] Coral-31: And it's not like the groping is going to interfere with some important work. [2015/01/22 21:31] Sara frowns [2015/01/22 21:31] SXD rhet0rica: The important question to ask with any coworker fraternization is whether or not the attention is accepted. [2015/01/22 21:32] Sara: I suppose... [2015/01/22 21:32] SXD rhet0rica: And as long as it doesn't cause a drop in productivity, we maintain a hands-off attitude towards office romance. [2015/01/22 21:32] SXD rhet0rica: That would make me and Miss Peluso rather hypocritical, after all. [2015/01/22 21:32] SXD rhet0rica ahems. "Anyway. Let's try turning on Lucian." [2015/01/22 21:32] Sara nods [2015/01/22 21:33] SXD luci4na: whispers: Personality 'Lucian' activated. [2015/01/22 21:33] SXD rhet0rica: Hello, Lucian. How do you feel? [2015/01/22 21:34] SXD luci4na frowns slightly for a moment "Well enough." [2015/01/22 21:34] SXD rhet0rica smiles. "You make a cute robot chick. Has anyone ever told you that?" [2015/01/22 21:34] SXD luci4na groans softly and looks down "You're the first." [2015/01/22 21:35] SXD rhet0rica grins, and in a sing-song voice, adds, "But not the last!" [2015/01/22 21:36] SXD luci4na makes a small face "Yes not the last." [2015/01/22 21:36] SXD rhet0rica simply smiles, more. [2015/01/12 22:17] SXD t4mara pulls out the cattle prod with which she zapped Ceiri the other day, applying a swift jolt to the girl's upper shoulder blade; the charge drops her to the floor, conscious but largely helpless. The winged SXD reaches down and with both arms, cradles the limp body of the dazed woman, carrying her with a strange mix of care and a somewhat lax attitude, as one might have toward a bag of potatoes. "Well then, let's get started." [2015/01/12 22:18] Ai Santei: Careful with that one, Tam. She's still mostly organic. No point in bruising her now; it'll only make the transfer slower. [2015/01/12 22:18] elysia jolts sharply with the shock, flopping flat as her access panel begins to emit a low hum. [2015/01/12 22:19] Ceiri: Oh my. [2015/01/12 22:19] SXD t4mara nearly smacks elysia's limp, dangling head against the nearby desk as she turns to insist upon herself. "This unit is as careful as any." [2015/01/12 22:19] SXD rhet0rica: Very well. This unit will get the doors. [2015/01/12 22:19] Lucian Underwood blinks at the rather violent action taken by the winged SXD and frowns a little hearing the humming as it emanates from elysia's access panel. "Was that really necessary considering she is a willing convert?" shaking his head some he sighs in annoyance. [2015/01/12 22:20] Ghost: Boo [2015/01/12 22:20] Tamara Peluso: ((Alas, I do not have access to her collar and cannot actually drag her alo- ah, there we go.)) [2015/01/12 22:20] elysia: ((It should be public access)) [2015/01/12 22:20] Lucian Underwood: ((It's not)) [2015/01/12 22:20] elysia: ((But I hit follow because it seemed like it was needed)) [2015/01/12 22:21] SXD t4mara plops the limp and mildly dazed woman down on the unoccupied bed. [2015/01/12 22:21] Tamara Peluso: ((It is not.)) [2015/01/12 22:21] Ai Santei: Up we go. [2015/01/12 22:21] Lucian Underwood: ((It is now)) [2015/01/12 22:22] SXD t4mara: There we are... [2015/01/12 22:23] SXD rhet0rica: Synchronization engaged, Mistress. [2015/01/12 22:23] Ai Santei checks the settings on the traditional conversion tube, just in case something goes wrong. [2015/01/12 22:24] elysia sways her head left and right a bit, the humming from her panel abruptly fading as she blinks a few times. [2015/01/12 22:24] Ghost: [2015/01/12 22:26] Ai Santei: Ceiri, would you show Coral-31 in, please? [2015/01/12 22:26] Ceiri: Yes, Dr. Santei. [2015/01/12 22:27] SXD t4mara smiles and slots ely's head into the slot provided by the bio-bed, several clamps and electronic probes slotting into place around the woman's cranium. A soft humming and clank issues from the odd device as they drive almost microscopic little dimples against ely's skull, gently thrumming as they begin to resonate. Thought and sensation begin to gradually evaporate as the device begins to attune to the woman's brainwaves, a bizarre feeling of numbness starting to course through the space between elysia's skull. It feels almost hollow for a few moments as the machine thrums to full power, before finally ceasing its cacophonous buzzing; it settles into a gentle and steady ripple and the ability to think returns, for the time being. [2015/01/12 22:27] Coral-31 waves to Ceiri. [2015/01/12 22:27] Lucian Underwood frowns quietly as the humming stops and fidgets some as he watches quietly back against the wall. [2015/01/12 22:27] Ceiri: Miss Coral? We are in the conversion area for the production of unit ely5ia. If you would follow me. [2015/01/12 22:27] Ceiri: If you'd like. [2015/01/12 22:27] Coral-31 nods, and gestures toward the stairs. [2015/01/12 22:28] Ghost: A bit nervous, Lucian? [2015/01/12 22:28] Lucian Underwood: Yes, a bit. [2015/01/12 22:28] Coral-31 gives a small bow as she steps in. [2015/01/12 22:28] Ceiri: Miss Coral is here, Dr. Santei. [2015/01/12 22:29] Ai Santei: Thank you for coming, Coral. We're doing something rather unconventional today, a mind transfer directly into a blank SXD. It is something of a first, at least in production. [2015/01/12 22:29] SXD t4mara: Now, we don't want to set it too high, or the memories will be distorted and stilted; like an impressionist painting, rather than a faithful recreation. [2015/01/12 22:29] Ghost: For your servant or perhaps as this may soon be your fate? [2015/01/12 22:29] SXD rhet0rica: Acknowledged, Mistress. Transfer fidelity set to 0.82. [2015/01/12 22:29] SXD t4mara: Too low and she'll forget everything that isn't terribly important or memorable... [2015/01/12 22:29] Coral-31: Oh, neat. [2015/01/12 22:29] Lucian Underwood: A bit of both, Ghost, a bit of both. [2015/01/12 22:30] SXD t4mara: (BAD AO [2015/01/12 22:30] SXD t4mara: ((NO [2015/01/12 22:30] elysia: /me's eyes glance left to right as she's positioned. She blinks a few times, eyes widening a moment before steadying again. Her gaze tilts, looking towards Tamara as the SXD speaks. [2015/01/12 22:32] Ghost: That is understandable, Lucian. All will be well, you shall see. [2015/01/12 22:32] rhet0rica: ((One second longer...)) [2015/01/12 22:33] SXD t4mara: The chance of catastrophic cranial implosion is less than 13%. 11% if she has never consumed certain varieties of mollusc. [2015/01/12 22:34] SXD rhet0rica: 0.11 is rather good odds, considering the parameters of this procedure. Nikita was quite a bit lower. [2015/01/12 22:35] SXD t4mara mutters to herself, still fiddling with some of the dials and controls, her bedside manner rather atrocious, though it was to be expected for a non medically trained or programmed machine, after all. [2015/01/12 22:36] SXD t4mara smiles down at elysia as she comes to somewhat, trying to pretend that she hadn't just been talking about the alarmingly high chance of her skull collapsing in on itself. "Don't worry sweetie! Everything will be just fine." [2015/01/12 22:36] Ceiri ponders the possibility of the presence of a "head splitter" dial. [2015/01/12 22:37] Lucian Underwood grumbles softly about the fact the chance something could go wrong was fairly high and shakes his head in annoyance. "Your company should really perfect the process before using it on people." [2015/01/12 22:37] SXD rhet0rica adjusts a touch-sensitive slider on her desk, making the machine hum with an increasing intensity once more. The lights begin to flicker, as if perhaps the building's wiring is not entirely up to the task. The girl on the table can start to feel a prominent buzz in the back of her skull, as if a drill is hovering inches away from it. It is almost an overwhelming sensation for a moment, before the vintage courtesan's voice breaks through the noise. "elysia. Everything is ready to initiate the conversion now. There is no cause for alarm. Please do your best to remain calm and concentrate on the sensations you are experiencing. The more you can stay in the moment, the better it will be." [2015/01/12 22:38] Ai Santei shakes her head at Lucian. "You were the one who insisted on this. The actual conversion procedure is quite well-tested." [2015/01/12 22:38] SXD t4mara blinks. "She is not people." [2015/01/12 22:38] Ai Santei: And, for the record, neither of you are people. [2015/01/12 22:39] Ai Santei: Ghost, please press the top button on the door panel. We need to be uninterrupted for the next while. [2015/01/12 22:39] elysia smiles slightly to Tamara. Hearing Lucian, she opens her mouth to speak, before closing it as she feels the buzz, offering a quick "Mhmm" at rhet0rica's words before closing her eyes. "Understood." [2015/01/12 22:39] Ghost: Fear not Lucian, this unit has significant programing in emergency medicine. It stands ready to assist in the even of a incident.. [2015/01/12 22:39] SXD t4mara: As this unit stated, the company's lawyers are powerful warlocks who explode people's organs out their mouths. [2015/01/12 22:39] SXD t4mara: They also wear hoods. [2015/01/12 22:39] Coral-31: Oh my! [2015/01/12 22:39] Ghost: Yes, doctor. [2015/01/12 22:39] Ai Santei: Thank you. [2015/01/12 22:39] Ai Santei: And please be prepared to sedate Lucian at the first sign of trouble or attempted escape. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ai Santei: He's next. [2015/01/12 22:40] Lucian Underwood: Cybernetic Augmentations does not negate a person's person-hood, thank you very much. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ai Santei presses a few buttons on the console, makign sure the tank is ready for him. [2015/01/12 22:40] Coral-31 helpfully scoots over to stand in front of the door. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ai Santei: No, indulging in Julie's control system does. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ghost: As instructed, doctor. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ai Santei: Construct. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ai Santei: Thank you, Ghost. [2015/01/12 22:40] Ghost: [2015/01/12 22:42] SXD rhet0rica smiles over the table in elysia's direction, though of course the cyborg slave-girl has a negligible chance of actually seeing it. [2015/01/12 22:42] Lucian Underwood glares a little at Ai and her words and shakes his head in annoyance but stays where I am for the moment "A control system that currently does not exist on my person, it is purely an augmentation to help limit a certain affliction of mine." [2015/01/12 22:44] Lucian Underwood: (( he is* )) [2015/01/12 22:45] SXD t4mara smiles a little bit as the buzz begins to thrum louder and louder, the strange feeling of one's thoughts being shook loose by a metempsychotic force filling elysia's cranium. As it pulsates and thrums, the woman can feel her mind start to feel like jelly, every bit of her synthetic self starting to liquify. Not literally, of course, though the bizarre feeling of memories and thought being jumbled and sloughed together is distressing to say the least. The sensation of being bored into, invaded and penetrated is incredibly pervasive throughout; the almost obscene feelings of the machine slipping its influence and tendrils into elysia's mind getting stronger and stronger as each second passes by. Her eyes begin to glow and flash odd shades of blue and pink as her synthetic zeitgeist is prepared for extraction and (perhaps more hopefully than she would be comfortable with) copying. [2015/01/12 22:48] elysia: ((I find myself wishing I hadn't taken the color scripts out of these eyes now)) [2015/01/12 22:53] elysia: ((I hope you're not waiting on me there... I actually cannot think of a response.)) [2015/01/12 22:53] rhet0rica: ((Working on the next part.)) [2015/01/12 22:53] elysia: ((K)) [2015/01/12 22:53] SXD t4mara hangs a thing in 31's office in the meantime. [2015/01/12 22:56] Coral-31 bleats curiously. [2015/01/12 22:57] SXD rhet0rica: As elysia's eyes begin to lose their grip on normalcy, they begin to lose their utility as well, as do the rest of her senses. A tendril from the scurrying mass of electric fuzz now gripping her mind seems to sneak its way down her spinal column and to embrace the wires connecting her central nervous system to the CCU lodged within her, and then from the CCU to the rest of her ACS implants. Like a spiderweb it spreads, covering and encasing everything, tangling around and capturing it, and then running its extremities through her code like someone unspooling a tape cassette with a pencil, leaving everything in a state of moderate disarray and requesting read access of many deep, old parts of her code that were normally never read. As the code is explored, elysia can feel her mind being rewound, as if the history of it all were being drawn back upward, a list of changes being compiled in reverse order until she is not an adult, but a teenager, and then a preteen, and then a child, and then an infant... [2015/01/12 22:58] SXD rhet0rica: Cognitive system mapped. Retrograde memory is being analyzed now. [2015/01/12 22:59] SXD rhet0rica: At this point she should be experiencing her life in reverse, more or less. The test subjects were never very specific about what they were observing. [2015/01/12 23:00] SXD rhet0rica frowns as a pair of red dots appear on her console. "Annoying... there are some read-protected files in her CCU." [2015/01/12 23:00] SXD rhet0rica: Lucian, are you familiar with them? [2015/01/12 23:00] SXD rhet0rica: They are titled 'OwnerOnly' and 'Security'. [2015/01/12 23:00] Lucian Underwood: Yes fairly familiar with them. [2015/01/12 23:01] SXD rhet0rica: Can you summarize their contents? [2015/01/12 23:02] Lucian Underwood: OwnerOnly sets obedience mode restricted to the owner of the unit only. To prevent external influences when I wanted to use her. [2015/01/12 23:02] Lucian Underwood: Security is a system wide security module which controls physical and remote access into the systems, as well as enable/disabling various passwords and access levels. [2015/01/12 23:03] SXD rhet0rica nods and clears them, removing them from the copy. "Both managed inherently in the SXD firmware. Not an issue." [2015/01/12 23:05] SXD t4mara smiles and nods toward her better half as the bio-bed's internal systems work with a strangely mechanical lyrical quality. Humming fans and struggling CPUs spitting out millions of cycles within a short period fill the air with a bizarre symphony of synthetic sound, like some otherworldly robotic deity giving rise to an entirely new world. It begins to become fairly hot in the room, naturally, the heat that it's producing causing the not terribly well ventilated chamber to swell with a dry heat. With a jarring, yet quiet 'click' noise, the system finishes processing elysia's consciousness, and, with simplicity and ease that would spur a great number of the Clergy to quit their dayjobs in frustration, squeezes the copied mechanical soul through the synthetic streams and coils of copper and gold that link the slave-girl gynoid to the back-up receptacle. A faint blue hue comes over the blank form of the rather featureless back-up, limbs twitching momentarily as elysia's memories, thoughts, ideas - [2015/01/12 23:06] SXD t4mara: personality and consciousness are squeezed into it like clothes being forced into suitcase; breathing false life into a formerly inert marionette. [2015/01/12 23:09] elysia's ACS CCU v1.10.0 is being unbolted from elysia by elysia. [2015/01/12 23:09] Second Life: k4dzhira (k4dzhira) is now known as elysia. [2015/01/12 23:09] elysia: ((hehe And of course I was wearing a different outfit)) [2015/01/12 23:09] rhet0rica: ((...yeah, meh)) [2015/01/12 23:10] elysia: ((O.o That was weird. It broke my animations for a sec)) [2015/01/12 23:10] rhet0rica: ((ACS loves hogging things like that.)) [2015/01/12 23:13] elysia: ((Got the 'body' on. Equipment too?)) [2015/01/12 23:14] rhet0rica: ((Yeah.)) [2015/01/12 23:14] SXD: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A reboot is required. [2015/01/12 23:15] rhet0rica: ((Tap your forehead gem so you can cheat the RLV deafness.)) [2015/01/12 23:15] rhet0rica: ((...We'll remove it later.)) [2015/01/12 23:16] elysia: ((Oh. That's a thing. SORRY SIR)) [2015/01/12 23:16] Locking Blindfold-Gag v1.25c (mouth): Ralenel Rakosi has reset their Blindfold-Gag. They are now without an owner. [2015/01/12 23:16] Lucian Underwood: ((It's fine.)) [2015/01/12 23:16] elysia: ((Clicked it. It said Disabled)) [2015/01/12 23:17] rhet0rica: ((Click it again, then. Whoops.)) [2015/01/12 23:17] elysia: ((Done)) [2015/01/12 23:19] SXD rhet0rica: As the mind of elysia transfers into her new body, it spasms to life for a brief moment, the lights on the hardware glowing a bright cyan. It feels vaguely like slipping into a new skin-tight suit, capturing and tightly pinning the girl even as it embraces and supports her. In the distance she can hear something vaguely like an orchestra beginning to tune up, albeit at a very low pitch and somewhat muffled; nothing else penetrates her complete sensory isolation. And yet there is something else here, she can feel; a presence not entirely explainable and not entirely unlike being watched... or, more precisely, being in bed next to someone asleep. [2015/01/12 23:20] elysia: ((I'm suddenly thinking of the PS3 boot up sound)) [2015/01/12 23:26] SXD t4mara smiles as she moves over to the former husk, a small smirk upon her synthetic lips not unlike that of a mother seeing the face of her child for the first time. Ivory fingertips run over the placid visage of the new SXD,; though even as her mind is poured into that new vessel, it begins to slowly change. As it's piped inside, the odd feeling of not being alone fills the gynoid girl's consciousness; the bizarre sensation of not being the only one occupying one's own mind a foreign and odd one to say the least. The SXD's programming begins to slowly spread through elysia's consciousness, creeping like an iridescent oil film across the surface of a pure and clear lake. It recolours all that it manages to spread through, refocusing thought and memory like a prism, refracting her mind into a hundred different streams only to be recombined through the pure and singular lens of an ideal; submission. Every idea and errant desire is captured and twisted back upon themselves, finely guided into this one focus and - [2015/01/12 23:28] Ghost: As she watches the human converted into an artificial form, she begins to wonder how her already synthetic chassis will handle being upgraded to SDX. Will the preexisting software and frame accept new programming and components? [2015/01/12 23:29] SXD t4mara: purpose. Existence was to serve, to serve was pleasure and joy. The idea of freedom became foreign and diluted as elysia's thoughts are again and again refracted, broken up, and reforged into a pure stream of supine purpose. The programming takes the gynoid's former self and moulds it again and again, each iteration becoming more and more pure and devoted to the ideal of the perfect courtesan and submissive, supine, eager to please lady. There was no other existence, no other way to be than this. It was bliss. It was right. [2015/01/12 23:36] SXD rhet0rica: The orchestra began, slowly, to find its way towards some semblance of a tune, raising ever so gradually in pitch throughout this process of iterative molding. Axon by axon and dendrite by dendrite, the essence of elysia's new existence—of ely5ia—was coming into focus. Memories started to gradually return now, bringing back the moments of her childhood, her favorite stuffed animal, her first kiss, her first love, her first Master, her first tear, her parents, her friends, her trail and journey that had brought her here, but they were not the same as before. It was if she were sequestered alone in a lighthouse, above a seat of fog, unable to see the sky or ground, the light aimlessly casting out onto the horizon it cound not find. The memories were there, but they were distant ghosts, specters of something that might have been out there but was not truly substantial. Instead there was something warmer, something simpler inside of her, the purity of love and passion that would drive her in her new submissi [2015/01/12 23:36] SXD rhet0rica: ...submission. Any pretense of her past as an equal, as a human with augmentation, who might perhaps be fulfilling a role for pleasure or practicality as a slave or submissive... this was over. In its place was the natural obedience and desire of a machine that knew its place, that did not question or envy the position of those above her. And from here, she would be free, free to serve and submit and please others just as she always had... and would. [2015/01/12 23:37] SXD rhet0rica: But now there was a singular and prominent problem awaiting the newly-born courtesan, which was that she was turned off. [2015/01/13 16:39] SXD ely5ia: Are SXD units sufficiently durable to serve in combat purposes? [2015/01/13 16:40] SXD rhet0rica: They are sufficiently durable to serve in military locker rooms. [2015/01/13 16:40] SXD rhet0rica: It is not clear which is the harsher environment. [2015/01/13 16:40] SXD ely5ia: Humor detected. [2015/01/13 16:40] SXD rhet0rica: Yes. [2015/01/19 19:42] Samantha Wright smiles. "Anyway! I'm very glad you're here, Nuwi. It's so refreshing to have an internal recruitment once in a while. It means a great deal to us that you're so invested in the company that you're willing to undergo this procedure." [2015/01/19 19:42] Samantha Wright: Is there anything you'd like to say or do before we get underway? [2015/01/19 19:42] Nuwi: My last meal? [2015/01/19 19:42] Samantha Wright: Er... sure, what would you like? [2015/01/19 19:43] Nuwi: It was a joke [2015/01/19 19:43] Samantha Wright ahs, but shrugs. "Well, it wasn't an entirely unrealistic thing. Food won't be... the same after this." [2015/01/19 19:44] Nuwi: I can't think of anything, so I suppose we should get on with it. [2015/01/19 19:44] Samantha Wright nods and smiles. "Of course. When you're ready, please disrobe and step into the tank behind you." [2015/01/19 19:45] Nuwi floats about. [2015/01/19 19:46] D3V1-C: Heh, disrobe. [2015/01/19 19:46] Samantha Wright hesitates, her finger on a camera's shoot button again. "Actually, could we get someone in the audience to play photographer? Someone who knows to fiddle with DoF settings and can take high-rez shots?" [2015/01/19 19:46] Millicent: That leaves me out. [2015/01/19 19:46] Samantha Wright: This would be absolutely wonderful promo material. [2015/01/19 19:47] Sara: Sadly, that's not something I have any real skill with [2015/01/19 19:48] Samantha Wright: Ah, Miss Lardner might be able to help us. Wonderful. [2015/01/19 19:49] Samantha Wright ahems, pressing a few buttons on her console. "Anyway. Let's get this procedure started. How do you feel, Nuwi?" [2015/01/19 19:50] Nuwi: A bit chilly. [2015/01/19 19:50] Lucian Underwood: whispers: Hey Kiri sit the fuck down [2015/01/19 19:51] Lucian Underwood: Good girl [2015/01/19 19:51] Samantha Wright nods and smiles, tapping a few more buttons. "That will go away in just a little... Raising water temperature now." [2015/01/19 19:54] Samantha Wright diligently works through the commands on the console, taking her time with each one to ensure the procedure goes forward smoothly. The tank emits a loud metallic lurching sound, and shortly afterwards begins to softly bubble as the barest beginnings of electronic life, the conversion nanites, begin to filter through it towards the woman suspended inside. The contact of the bubbles, suitably, is a slightly tingly sensation—not too much so, but certainly noticeably unlike most bubbles. [2015/01/19 19:55] Samantha Wright: Initiating nanite flow now... you should be able to feel some of the effects shortly as they start analyzing your epidermis. [2015/01/19 19:56] Nuwi: I thought I had enough people analyzing my epidermis. [2015/01/19 19:56] Dr. Kiri Taggart messily munches on popcorn, spilling crumbs on Lucian. [2015/01/19 19:56] Millicent: You should take it as a compliment. [2015/01/19 19:56] Samantha Wright chuckles. "Oh no, it's not complete without billions of tiny machines working their way into your skin..." [2015/01/19 19:57] Lucian Underwood jabs Dr Taggart with the cattle prod "Stop spilling on me." [2015/01/19 19:57] D3V1-C: nanomachines are basically cyber bees. [2015/01/19 19:58] Samantha Wright: You know, I've never heard that comparison before... [2015/01/19 19:58] Dr. Kiri Taggart stiffens, jolts, squeaks, and lets out a sour puff of gas. She turns around and glares.

[2015/01/19 19:59] Lucian Underwood makes note to disable elysia's hivemind. [2015/01/19 19:59] Sara: That's admittedly kind of creepy [2015/01/19 20:00] Millicent: It's endearing in its own way. [2015/01/19 20:00] Lucian Underwood: That'll be you in a few weeks, Sara. [2015/01/19 20:00] SXD ekh3ssa: What is? [2015/01/19 20:00] SXD vi0let: Wh̡̤a̰̰̜̞̖̞t ̨̨̖is̷̷̼̖? [2015/01/19 20:00] SXD ely5ia: Wha̜̞̚t ͢i̴͋̾s? [2015/01/19 20:01] Sara: All of the units speaking in tandem like that. They sound weird too, beyond that. [2015/01/19 20:01] Nuwi does a flip in the tank. [2015/01/19 20:02] Samantha Wright quietly continues her work, the water bath getting progressively more busy as the bubbles start to froth and cling to Nuwi's skin, starting to form a supportive layer around her body. Once the layer has completely encased her and has started to adopt a distinctively silvery sheen, it starts to be adsorbed by her flesh and hair, becoming progressively thinner and ultimately leaving a film over her skin. The penetrance is a gradual feeling, but a distinctive one, a brittle tautness in the girl's flesh that starts to make it uncomfortable for her to stretch or move very much, like a million tiny fingers pressing against every inch of skin. [2015/01/19 20:04] Samantha Wright: Once the nanites have completely saturated her body, they'll begin the conversion from the inside and work gradually outward. They're smart enough to automatically select the first system to go after; sometimes it's circulatory, but usually it's directly into the eyes and brainstem. [2015/01/19 20:06] Samantha Wright: The process is a lot smoother than it was with our first conversions... I don't think any of our test subjects have complained about pain or anything like that. [2015/01/19 20:06] Nuwi: Ow [2015/01/19 20:06] Millicent: Snarky to the end. [2015/01/19 20:06] Samantha Wright checks over the readout on her desk, suddenly concerned, but then squints. "Very." [2015/01/19 20:10] Samantha Wright sighs and shakes her head, content then to just let the procedure go ahead as planned; with naught but a single button press, the nanite saturation cycles to the next step, starting to fill Nuwi's core with more of the same tingling sensation she had experienced earlier, when the transformation had just begun. After a few minutes of this she can start to feel a faint buzzing in her bones, one more erratic than the bubbling on her surface, very much as if there was a large volume of something living inside of them. A blue light began to flash on the desk console, signaling that the conversion proper was ready to commence. With but a moment's hesitation, the elfish woman presses it. [2015/01/19 20:12] Dr. Kiri Taggart: Remember that one time at NS Dubai when the nanite programming cycle got corrupted and filled that one girl's innards with twinkie cream? [2015/01/19 20:13] Sara: That's a rather unusual form of data corruption [2015/01/19 20:13] Sara: Doesn't seem likely unless someone was eating on the job and got careless [2015/01/19 20:13] Samantha Wright takes out a stick of chewing gum from her pocket at this point and slips it in her mouth, leaning back in her chair with a sigh. Her face is still marred with the consternation of one very much concerned with ensuring that their work. "I'm pretty sure it was whipped strawberry topping... and no, that test never happened. Also, she survived." [2015/01/19 20:14] Sara shrugs [2015/01/19 20:18] Samantha Wright shakes her head, checking over the readouts as the process begins. Already, the marrow conversion was complete and spreading outward. In addition to providing valuable raw materials for the conversion, Nuwi's bones would temporarily act in a synthetic role analogous to her biological one, producing additional, specialized nanomachinery that would help clear out her innards and give way to a new electronic creature. But in keeping with the SXD's vintage composition, so too would the material within her change, organic systems being eaten away bit by bit to be replaced with totally different hardware in very much a different configuration, starting with her brain. [2015/01/19 20:19] Nuwi has her brain eaten. [2015/01/19 20:20] Lucian Underwood contemplates the existence of nanite zombies. [2015/01/19 20:23] Samantha Wright chews her gum quietly as the nanites begin to circulate in the convertee's bloodstream, mimicking the erythrocytes their centres of manufacture had now displaced. Gradually, the probes drift upward, filling Nuwi's vision with bright sparks of light as they brush past her optic nerves and worm their way into the heart of her cortex. Sensations become unusual, disparate, and even downright contradictory, some parts of her body feeling warm, others cold, and most of her muscles starting to twitch as afferent and efferent axons find their pathways suddenly impeded upon, intercepted, and finally cut by the busy machines, leaving the girl's mind floating in a sense of dim nothingness. [2015/01/19 20:26] Samantha Wright: Cortex isolated. Beginning restructuring process. [2015/01/19 20:27] Nuwi isn't very snarky at the moment. [2015/01/19 20:28] Lucian Underwood: whispers: Hit the power button now? [2015/01/19 20:31] Dr. Kiri Taggart: whispers: Flip the main breaker to the off position, Lucian. [2015/01/19 20:32] Samantha Wright monitors the control panel closely as Nuwi's body starts to go into a dormant state. Uncontrolled by her brain or spinal column, her muscles soon completely relax. A small ECG readout in the top corner of her desk, and several on the panel next to the tank itself, report that she no longer has a pulse. One of them flickers a worried reddish-pink, betraying the machine's origin as a re-engineered medical analysis chamber, but no harm comes to the patient inside; at this point, the nanomachines have essentially taken over every biological function necessary to keep Nuwi's body alive while she settles, her veins and arteries pulsing of their own accord. Inside her mind, the experience is very different; as in moments before death, she can feel memories of her life up to this point returning, even flooding into her half-conscious sense of awareness, but already they are grey, distant, and gradually fading, like the warm glow of an old CRT television that is finally being switched off for the last time, [2015/01/19 20:32] Samantha Wright: carrying with it who knows how many beautiful moments off into the darkness. But Nuwi's awareness remains, albeit progressively more isolated and alone, like an amnesiac, aware of herself yet of nothing else, utterly singular in its existence. [2015/01/19 20:37] Samantha Wright shakes her head at the silly whisperers, mumbling something under her breath about a fairly decent battery backup and promising to cause unforetold grief for both of them in the near future. The girl in the tank has precious little chance of being aware of any of this, but perhaps, sooner or later, a tiny fragment might slip through as the nanites hurriedly rearrange her cortex, molding its intricate network of neurons into a slightly-less-intricate-but-no-less-computationally-powerful system of artificial neurons, each tiny CPU core connected to its neighbours in an unfathomably complex and thoroughly proprietary hyperdimensional network, wires of glass, copper, and carbon fibre threading themselves through imported silicon from outside of the tank. For a moment, Nuwi's continued consciousness is interrupted, like a sensation of blacking out, but she awakens, of course, to simply more blackness, more void, more emptiness. What little crumbs of her memory she can sense are faint and distant, for the [2015/01/19 20:37] Samantha Wright: moment... but they will not be so for long. [2015/01/19 20:47] Samantha Wright takes a deep breath and cracks her knuckles, drumming a pen on her desk as she ponders, quietly, just what the hell is taking Tam's graphics card so long to cool down. With a sigh and a shake of her head, she resumes to monitoring the readout, which laconically and uninformatively states that the brain conversion is at 90% and that organ conversion is at 30%. Unfelt and unwitnessed, pound after pound of Nuwi's flesh and litre after litre of her internal fluids are gradually reworked; her vasculature reshaped into direct, practical cooling pipes, perhaps not sculpted quite as artfully as the human body from whence they came but certainly with a notable degree of careful shaping, something worthy of a machine meant to be remembered. The organs themselves are completely rearranged and altered, mostly with no analogue; motors, sub-processors, wires, cables, and even nuts and bolts soon fill her insides where once were fat deposits, muscles, nerves, an immune system, and a good two dozen metabolic and [2015/01/19 20:47] Samantha Wright: digestive elements. The last of these to be replaced are her eyes, which hang limply open and suddenly begin to emit a bright orange glow, the first of the visible changes. [2015/01/19 20:57] Samantha Wright smiles inwardly as she spots the first change—it is one of the more subtle ones, to be certain, but one she recognizes well and is delighted to see, the first tangible evidence of Nuwi's new existence. Only a few moments later, smaller implants start to break through her now paper-thin skin; a series of lights roll up the length of her right thigh, and a small gem manifests itself on her forehead, leaving tears in the epidermis around them that appear oddly unnatural, but unlike the eyes they remain dim and idle. Inside her head, behind the gem and eyes, her cortex slowly begins to wire itself back up, millions of pins and cables forming new connections between the machine and the computer, uniting the two. To Nuwi, it is as if she has suddenly discovered a shore of sensation; though she is paralyzed, though she cannot adjust the focus in her eyes, though she cannot hear but dim, muffled noises from outside of the tank, she is starting to become whole again. [2015/01/19 21:02] Samantha Wright pops her bubblegum once, nodding her head again as the sight once more reassures her that the conversion is proceeding smoothly. She taps a button on the console, flooding the tank once more with a thick froth of bubbles, but this time they are merely full of air, and although some stick and catch in the redhead's hair, most simply bounce off her, peeling away the remains of her skin to reveal the metalloplastic beneath. Her ears and forehead are glowing blue, oddly, however, as the nanites are still busy at work, sculpting her ears out into long, fine points, replacing her hair follicles (which promptly fall out and are replaced with black fibres instead) and architecting the signature ram's horns that so ubiquitously define the SXD. The SXD. The SXD nui4no. The thought reverberates in her mind, quietly, almost meaninglessly for now. [2015/01/19 21:13] Samantha Wright nods her head again, generally pleased with the progress that the conversion was making. She runs her fingers over the console, wondering exactly what it was like to go forward through the procedure. Would Nuwi feel the same strange sense of limitation, of inability, that an SXD would have felt when she had been manufactured all those years ago? What was it like sitting there, a broken puppet with no strings, an Ultimate Adult Playmate with no main controller unit? Could Nuwi feel the same frosty isolation descending over her, suggesting that a sense of purpose was missing but giving no hints as to how to attain and complete it? Could she feel how her extremities were held distant, kept hostage? A soft ding on the console suggested that, yes, maybe, now, after so many long minutes in the tank, she could. [2015/01/19 21:20] Samantha Wright quietly runs the nanite bath in reverse now, letting the fluid drain of all of the excess metals and other raw materials—mostly a tremendous amount of unused carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen left over from Nuwi's organic decomposition, but also a fairly high density of silicons and metals from the synthesis—slowly filter out of the tank, leaving SXD nui4no alone in the mechanical amniotic fluid, little if any molecular machinery still present. At this point the conversion was thoroughly complete; all that remained was to initialize the mechanical girl's new mind and bolt on her controller, which would be best done outside of the tank. [2015/01/19 21:20] Samantha Wright sighs, running a hand through her hair, and sticks her gum underneath the console, rubbing her jaw. "Phew. No bugs that time." [2015/01/19 21:21] Nuwi twitches. [2015/01/19 21:21] Millicent: Have there been? [2015/01/19 21:22] Samantha Wright shrugs a little. "Sort of... nothing we couldn't correct for, but certainly a lot of... inconveniences, if you will." [2015/01/19 21:22] Samantha Wright: Can someone help me get her out of the tank? [2015/01/19 21:22] Sara: Sure. [2015/01/19 21:22] Samantha Wright taps one more button, draining the fluid from the vessel, and then walks over. [2015/01/19 21:23] Samantha Wright tugs Nuwi's body out with Sara's help, lying the damp, smooth, and surprisingly unchanged-in-mass body out on the microfibre carpet. [2015/01/19 21:23] Sara mostly just helps to support the weight, letting Samantha direct the carrying [2015/01/19 21:24] Samantha Wright picks up the main controller unit she brought in with her and presses it against nui4no's back, forming an immediate seal and terminating what little twitching the girl's body was still capable of, leaving her limp and helpless on the floor. [2015/01/19 21:24] Samantha Wright hands Sara a pair of shoes, too, to put on nui4no's feet, and gets to work putting her collar in place. [2015/01/19 21:25] SXD: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A reboot is required. [2015/01/19 21:25] SXD: whispers: No users set. Reverting to self control. [2015/01/19 21:25] SXD: Authorization check failed. Contact secondlife:///app/agent/f52f3970-652d-426d-8dfd-0914bf4ec4dd/about for access to this unit. [2015/01/19 21:25] Samantha Wright: ((You'll, er, need to turn yourself on.)) [2015/01/19 21:25] Sara kneels down and slips the shoes onto the bot's feet [2015/01/19 21:28] Samantha Wright frowns, tapping at nui4no's collar, wondering why it isn't lighting up properly. "Huh. Guess not everything works right the first time." At this point, the new mechanical courtesan's mind is immediately flooded with directives: precision, grace, detail, care, subtlety. The pleasure of others. Finding love. Justifying love. Being loved. Giving love. Making love. The topics seem to sink into her endlessly like the answer key to a crossword that was before blank, and in for a moment she feels almost omnipotent, blessed with a sublime sense of awareness and connectedness to her own programming and what it is capable of. [2015/01/19 21:29] Samantha Wright smiles, either way. "Hello, SXD. How do you feel?" [2015/01/19 21:30] Samantha Wright presses the wrong button, dramatically. [2015/01/19 21:30] SXD 999-63-2762: This unit feels..functional. [2015/01/19 21:31] SXD 999-63-2762: whispers: User secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about added as a normal user. [2015/01/19 21:31] Samantha Wright leaps forward and hugs her. "Welcome to the list, 999-63-2762." [2015/01/19 21:31] SXD 999-63-2762: What list do you refer to? [2015/01/19 21:32] Millicent peers over Sara's shoulder. [2015/01/19 21:32] SXD 999-63-2762: whispers: Owner set. [2015/01/19 21:32] SXD 999-63-2762: whispers: User secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about set as new owner. [2015/01/19 21:33] Samantha Wright smiles. "The list of units, of course. Now, let's get you set up a little bit more, hmm?" [2015/01/19 21:33] SXD 999-63-2762: whispers: Updating name. [2015/01/19 21:33] Sara looks back over her shoulder at Millicent [2015/01/19 21:33] SXD nui4no: whispers: Authority set. [2015/01/19 21:33] Samantha Wright: Ah, there's your collar. Lovely. [2015/01/19 21:33] SXD nui4no pokes the now functional collar. [2015/01/19 21:34] Lucian Underwood: Any chance she's less snarky now than she was before? [2015/01/19 21:34] Millicent: That seems likely. [2015/01/19 21:34] Coral-31: Only until her dedicated snark processor comes online. [2015/01/19 21:35] Samantha Wright: Hmm... snarky... well, maybe, maybe. [2015/02/09 20:14] Sara: Hm, I suppose that's reasonable. Just standard calibration stuff, right? [2015/02/09 20:14] Tamara Peluso: Mhm. [2015/02/09 20:14] SXD luci4na: Yes. [2015/02/09 20:14] SXD rhet0rica: Exactly; like the cleaning procedure from the other day. [2015/02/09 20:14] Sara nods and steps into the chamber [2015/02/09 20:16] DAX/2 t3rra connects to external power from Wireless Charging Station v1.4.3DB [2015/02/09 20:17] DAX/2 t3rra: trmrnu [2015/02/09 20:17] DAX/2 t3rra: trmenu [2015/02/09 20:18] DAX/2 t3rra disconnects from the Wireless Charging Station v1.4.3DB. [2015/02/09 20:18] Tamara Peluso hums to herself and sets the locks shut on the chamber, a rather harsh "kchunk" signaling that the mechanisms keeping it sealed have slid firmly into place. Continuing to hum with the nonchalance and non-threatening demeanor of a housewife cleaning a kitchen appliance, she inputs a few key presses on the pad. The machine appears to hum to life for a moment, but a few presses later, it reveals itself to be in some form of diagnostic mode. A bitching betty chirps the already expostulated information in its monotone, soothingly creepy mechanical voice. "Hmm, things seem to be alright so far... please spread your arms and legs, Sara dear. Need to calibrate the tank's restraints." [2015/02/09 20:19] Sara nods a bit and does as instructed. "Are you sure this is necessary? We've never done anything like this for any of the other convertees. Or is this the special promotion stuff you mentioned?" [2015/02/09 20:21] SXD luci4na: After the recent issues in the conversion process and the tank dying recently. It is perhaps better that a full diagnostics is run so no more incidents occur like myself or c0ral. [2015/02/09 20:22] Sara: Ah, yes, that does make sense. Better to be safe. [2015/02/09 20:22] SXD rhet0rica chuckles and shakes her head. "Oh, no, we'll get to that in a little bit. This is just regular maintenance on the tank itself. It's still something of a prototype, you know, and it's already chugged through four conversions. We need to make sure everything is in top order for tonight." With a soft whir and a few clicks, the restraints extend from the top and bottom and grapple Sara's wrists and ankles, smooth black metal rings of perfect control. "Exactly, luci4na. The recent anomalies have given us a bit of concern." [2015/02/09 20:24] Sara tugs gently on the restraints, more testing to see if they'll hold than actually trying to escape them. "Wouldn't I be of more use to the test taking readings from outside? Anyone with a body could do this part." [2015/02/09 20:26] c0ral: ((It turns out that Firestorm doesn't like it when you accidentally try to feed it a 500MB .dae file. Who knew?)) [2015/02/09 20:28] SXD luci4na: The majority of use have controllers bolted into place, being placed in the water of the tank as it is warmed up could cause the system to overheat. Part of the diagnostic requires heating the water to proper temperature for a human body. That could become problematic for an SXD or DAX/2 model. [2015/02/09 20:28] SXD luci4na clears throat lightly "majority of us" [2015/02/09 20:29] Tamara Peluso smirks, though continues to input commands. "Well, you just happen to be a body we own and can do whatever we like with, Sara dear. You were on hand and it's part of your job description." She pontificates casually, the beeping of the machine picking up in intensity as the dials and readings start to hum and whirr. Pulling taut and completely securing the girl in a vice-like grip from which there wasn't any budging from more than a few millimeters in either direction, the restraints suddenly splay her arms and legs apart. The machine spreads poor Sara eagle, exposing her body completely and utterly displaying her to those watching. "As you would have found what's about to happen is, had you read the contract through properly." [2015/02/09 20:31] Sara narrows her eyes. "Are you suggesting that there was something in there I didn't know about? That can't be right. I clearly remember knowing everything relevant about it." [2015/02/09 20:31] SXD rhet0rica looks at Sara for a long moment, then steps sideways. [2015/02/09 20:32] SXD luci4na: whispers: Personality 'uncoupled' activated. [2015/02/09 20:32] SXD luci4na suddenly becomes exceedingly confused, with a lurching surge of spastic motion that sends the machine's limbs flailing. The look of stress on the unit's visage suggests some life-altering change has just transpired. [2015/02/09 20:32] SXD luci4na seems, after this odd experience, almost haunted by the the strange sense of a sleeper who has just been woken from a dream. [2015/02/09 20:32] SXD rhet0rica: Now, let's see this contract... Incidentally, I have a copy right here. [2015/02/09 20:32] SXD rhet0rica pulls a stack of some four hundred pages out from under the desk, blowing off the dust from them with a cool breath that sounds like a vacuum cleaner. [2015/02/09 20:34] Sara frowns. "The contract I signed definitely wasn't that long." [2015/02/09 20:36] SXD rhet0rica: Nanite Systems Consumer Products Division, Recreational Cybernetics Group Internal Document 18.3A - Job Offer Contract for Category 1 Seasonal Interns... let's see... § 83... chapter... two... ah, here it is. Paragraph 91. Non-transferability of company assets. [2015/02/09 20:36] btn2i: Door is now locked from this side. [2015/02/09 20:36] btn2i: Door is now unlocked from this side. [2015/02/09 20:37] SXD rhet0rica: It's all right here, Sara. [2015/02/09 20:38] SXD rhet0rica: All company assets remain property of the company until such a time as someone with the authority to transfer them to another individual or organization chooses to do so. [2015/02/09 20:38] SXD rhet0rica holds up the paper to the front of the tank so she can read it. [2015/02/09 20:38] SXD rhet0rica: Have you not—frequently—been told you are a great asset to the company, Sara? [2015/02/09 20:38] SXD rhet0rica: You have never objected to this. [2015/02/09 20:39] Sara looks at it and shakes her head. "Well, I guess? I'm pretty sure that's not what contracts usually mean when referring to that term though." [2015/02/09 20:40] Tamara Peluso: Sara dear, we make robots. Robots are property. [2015/02/09 20:40] Tamara Peluso: As are raw materials. [2015/02/09 20:40] SXD rhet0rica: Most of the terminology used in the document is defined in section 3. [2015/02/09 20:40] SXD rhet0rica nods. "Very true." [2015/02/09 20:40] Sara: And what about the times you explicitly told me that I wasn't to be converted? [2015/02/09 20:43] SXD rhet0rica smiles kindly through the tank wall, her orange eyes utterly cold and merciless, much like her porcelain face. "Those, unfortunately, were outright lies. You see, Sara, we need girls like you. Smart, peppy, sharp-tongued and fresh out of college. You're going to make some fat, rich man very, very happy once we've eroded your identity into utter nothingness." [2015/02/09 20:43] Sara gulps. "Now hold on a minute..." [2015/02/09 20:45] Tamara Peluso idly wonders why t0ri keeps trying to pair their creations with specifically fat men, considering for a moment if she has some weird fetish for getting obese business men laid. Shrugging it off, she continues to input information into the keypad before her, smiling as she listens to the exchange but doesn't add anything beyond what she's already said. A shuddering, mechanical moan flows from the tank, sending vibrations through Sara's arms and legs. [2015/02/09 20:46] Sara looks around nervously as she feels the process starting. "I don't suppose there's anything I could do to convince you otherwise?" [2015/02/09 20:50] SXD rhet0rica smiles, biting her lower lip and running a finger down the side of the glass. "In fact, I already have a gentleman lined up for you. I wouldn't want to disappoint him; he can be very, very dangerous when he's angry." She sighs softly. "Poor, poor Mr. Bruun. You see, let me tell you a little story about Gaius. His wife left him years ago, and ever since he's been simply *obsessed* with acquiring a cute little mechanical girl to reprogram. He wants to trick her into thinking she's his ex-wife so he can torture and, in my opinion, outright /destroy/ her. Revenge, you know. Not that uncommon a fantasy. How would you like to fall into his vile little overbite-ridden jaws, Sara? Wouldn't that be just such a wonderful way to get yourself devoured?" She taps on the glass a few times. "Hmm?" [2015/02/09 20:51] Sara blinks and goes a little pale. "Um... can we not do that? It really doesn't sound very pleasant." [2015/02/09 20:52] Tamara Peluso: ((So, my eybor hs ecie to hte me. This sentence wi be reye by Sm s it ws intene. Purpe money ishwr.)) [2015/02/09 20:52] Samantha Wright: (("So, my keyboard has decided to hate me. This sentence will be relayed by Sam, as it was intended. Purple monkey dishwasher.")) [2015/02/09 20:52] Samantha Wright: ((Looks like I'm finishing this one myself. Hold on to your butts!)) [2015/02/09 20:56] SXD rhet0rica tsks and sighs, shaking her head. Her finger drags across the front of the glass tube with a low squeak as the water inside of it begins to warm, the interaction apparently not as frictionless as one would expect from two things so smooth. "You're ours now, Sara. You're ours. And while, statistically, the chance that you'll end up with..." she shudders—"that *monster* is really actually very infinitesimal and not at all worth worrying about, it's really time for you to start realising where exactly you stand—or, rather, are being forced to stand—in this situation. Your life is over, Sara. In an hour or so, you will be reported missing, presumed dead. After a few months they'll give up the search, and everything you ever were, aspired to be, and are in this very moment will be forgotten and gone. Except your status as company property, anyway." [2015/02/09 21:05] DAX/2 t3rra connects to external power from Wireless Charging Station v1.4.3DB [2015/02/09 21:08] DAX/2 t3rra disconnects from the Wireless Charging Station v1.4.3DB. [2015/02/09 21:09] DAX/2 t3rra: whispers: Now following Terra [2015/02/09 21:09] DAX/2 t3rra: whispers: Key: dd9f1e87-6014-4e72-984b-07aa3fe34f4f [2015/02/09 21:10] Samantha Wright: ((Sara's just afk for a bit; something came up.)) [2015/02/09 21:16] Sasa nods [2015/02/09 21:29] SXD rhet0rica hmms. "Note to self, check tank flow regulator..." [2015/02/09 21:30] Sara tugs on the cuffs a bit more strongly this time, hoping but not really expecting that they'll suddenly and unexpectedly break and let her out of the tank. "I really don't think this is appropriate behaviour, locking interns in tanks and converting them against their will." [2015/02/09 21:33] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head from side to side, as if considering the properties of this particular line of reasoning. "Well, yes and no, Sara. On one hand, you're an adorable piece of furniture, and on the other, you'll be a much better one afterwards." She leans backward on the console, tapping a few buttons casually. The tank shudders to life. [2015/02/09 21:34] Sara whimpers a bit and tugs harder, trying and failing to find a way out of the situation. [2015/02/09 21:35] SXD rhet0rica reads over the panel in casual, contemplative detail. "My, my, you're in simply *wonderful* health. That's good to know. The conversion will work more smoothly that way." She taps a few more buttons and the turbine whirs its way to full speed, flooding the chamber with cool blue specks of light. "Tell me, Sara. Whose conversion did you enjoy watching more? c0ral's or nui4no's? I'm pretty sure I have both the protocols here, and that they should work equally well..." [2015/02/09 21:36] Sara pales a bit more. "c0ral's looked quite unpleasant; can we at least avoid that?" [2015/02/09 21:39] Stealth Gag: whispers: Sasa's Stealth Gag is unlocked [2015/02/09 21:39] SXD rhet0rica pouts, her finger hovering over the button. "Aww. Really? Was it truly so awful?" She stifles a bit of a giggle, and for a moment the courtesan training shows through in her mannerisms. "Ooh, I know. I'll combine them. Won't that be delightful?" She taps it twice, and bright streaks of orange nanites begin to mix in with the more inoffensive and gentle blue machines, coalescing into nodes of mechanical matter at the tank's apex and nadir. [2015/02/09 21:40] Sara whimpers and shies away from them to the greatest degree the tank allows. "Can we please just do this the quick and unoffensive way?" [2015/02/09 21:40] Tamara Peluso: ((I m so ucing ngry right now.)) [2015/02/09 21:40] Samantha Wright: ((Then you should eat something.)) [2015/02/09 21:41] Tamara Peluso: ((I WI EN YOU, MOUTHY WHORE [2015/02/09 21:41] SXD rhet0rica (collar): collar has been unlocked. [2015/02/09 21:41] SXD rhet0rica (collar): collar has been locked. [2015/02/09 21:42] luci4na: ((Poor Poor Keyboard)) [2015/02/09 21:46] SXD rhet0rica pouts even moreso, pressing a few more buttons. At this point the protocol is so routine that she doesn't even need to look at the controls to know what to do. "Oh, but you've waited *ever* so long. I promise it won't hurt! Really. You've been ever so frigid since you got here; it does no one any good for you to not get *some* sort of reward out of this." As the blue nanites cling to Sara's form, evidently able to penetrate the 'special intern uniform' as though it were not even there, the orange nodes start extending tendrils toward their target, creeping up Sara's legs and down her arms like snakes, again exerting a cool pressure on her body as though the latex were immaterial. [2015/02/09 21:50] Sara sighs a bit, making some token gestures of trying to avoid the tendrils, but it's clear at this point that she's realized that she has no escape, so she's trying to at least make it not more unpleasant for herself. [2015/02/09 21:54] SXD rhet0rica just sits back and watches as the transformation rapidly begins to unfold. With both types of nanite in the tank, it progresses much more efficiently. The blue nanites sink into her skin despite the suit, chilling her flesh as they work their way towards her bones and ultimately into her marrow, all too happy to settle into their patient work of converting and remaking every inch of her body. The tendrils, on the other hand, true to promise, are indeed not altogether unpleasant; once they reach her crotch and mouth, they form roundly-shaped blobs that slip inside of her body, the lower one splitting into two. They are still cool to the touch, but they vibrate, slowly working their ways inward, leaving behind a thick coating of smart matter that soon numbs the flesh around it to any real discomfort. [2015/02/09 21:55] SXD rhet0rica: Oh, come now. Surely you're not all that sad. You'll be a lovely digital courtesan so very soon! [2015/02/09 21:56] Sara twitches lightly and mmphs, the tendril in her mouth obscuring her words as her internals begin to change, leaving no visible signs quite yet. After a few moments she goes still as her thoughts fade away. [2015/02/09 22:01] SXD rhet0rica leans against the glass, watching intently as the first conversion nanites to spread out from the marrow find their way to Sara's central nervous system and get to work isolating it. The effect is almost surprisingly fast, as if someone flicked off a light switch and left the golden-skinned young woman in a sensory deprivation tank—not that there was all that much to deprive her of in the first place. Slowly, her mind fills with a thick fog, and her memories begin to unwind as the nanites patiently and diligently work through her mind, deconstructing each little part of it. Involuntarily she recalls her last college exam... and in a few minutes, her first; then high school, along with all of its awkward romances and friendships... then her childhood... then her infancy... then birth... and then there is just a warm, uterine glow of blissful, ignorant nothingness. [2015/02/09 22:03] Sara now floats calmly, letting herself drift, unable to do anything but await the conclusion of the process. [2015/02/09 22:05] SXD rhet0rica wiggles her fingers in a wave as she recognizes the termination of Sara's spark, her life as an organic concluded. Almost as if in celebration of the change, the nanites begin altering her skin, flakes of the warmly-hued biomass soon washing away with the tank's subtle flow cycles. Beneath is the pure ivory and soft gray of the metalloplastic epidermis that would be s4ra's exterior layer from now on. [2015/02/09 22:12] Sara: ((Relogging quick)) [2015/02/09 22:15] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head, finding that the transformation isn't proceeding quite as smoothly as she expected, and turns around to check the console. Upon finding something wasn't pressed enough times, she presses it more times, and blue swirls of nanomatter coil around her ears and forehead, building out the peculiarly otherworldly trademark pointed ears and curling horns of the SXD. The nanites seem confused as they cascade downward and find an icon and hologenerator already installed, but nevertheless they spend time fusing the systems properly before digging into her eyes and upgrading them completely. A few moments later, there is a series of bulges under the latex on s4ra's right thigh, and then it snaps, leaving behind the six clearly-defined hip diodes that will reflect her power draw rate. [2015/02/09 22:26] SXD rhet0rica smiles contently as she observes the girl's transformation near its completion, her brain now nothing more than a dome full of idle relays. Slowly, with a bit of assistance from finger-presses, the tank evacuates the remaining nanites and the dark grayish pollution left over from Sara's transformation into her new and wonderful digital self. This time, she drags the girl out of the tank all on her own. [2015/02/09 22:27] Second Life: Sara (a2704296) is now known as s4ra. [2015/02/09 22:27] SXD rhet0rica whistles to herself a little as she snaps s4ra's collar around her neck, then bolts on her main controller. "And... that should do that..." [2015/02/03 21:20] SXD rhet0rica switches back to herself, making noises of distaste at all of the awful American spellings. [2015/02/03 21:21] SXD rhet0rica: It means you will have to actually roleplay instead of sitting around like a wet sack of noodles in the tradition of our other recent converts. [2015/02/03 21:21] Coral-31: Aww, but I wanted to be pho! [2015/02/03 21:21] Ava Kittabun: Pho is so good. [2015/02/03 21:22] SXD luci4na: It is not like converts are given much to work with. Especially when the majority of everything they are feeling seeing experiencing is laid out for them. [2015/02/03 21:22] DAX/2 T.E.R.R.A leans on the crate marked danger and places her head in her hands watching through the window [2015/02/03 21:23] SXD rhet0rica: We will make sure this time is more ̼engaging. [2015/02/03 21:23] Ava Kittabun fidgets, hands landing between her thighs. [2015/02/03 21:23] SXD rhet0rica: I sort of settled ̴into just accepting it, b̷ut... yeah, let's h͢old things to a h̰igher standard. [2015/02/03 21:23] Coral-31: Well, I'll certainly try my best! [2015/02/03 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: Yes. Or you will be exp̰unged. [2015/02/03 21:24] SXD rhet0rica smiles. [2015/02/03 21:24] Ava Kittabun: Oh de̶ar͠. [2015/02/03 21:24] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:24] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: These buttons look big enough I might be able to press them when needed [2015/02/03 21:24] Coral-31: Nuu, I don't want to be an ex-sponge! [2015/02/03 21:24] DAX/2 T.E.R.R.A: giggles [2015/02/03 21:24] SXD rhet0rica: It is better than being an ex-cucumber. [2015/02/03 21:25] Coral-31: Or an ex-parrot. [2015/02/03 21:25] SXD rhet0rica: Pining for the fjords is not recommended. [2015/02/03 21:25] Ava Kittabun: Pushing͋ up the daisies not recomended? [2015/02/03 21:25] SXD rhet0rica: Mistress should be ready soon... [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD rhet0rica: ...̶And I am so going to repr̨ogram that thing. [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD rhet0rica: Who ever thought that voice would be sexy? [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD rhet0rica makes a face. [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD rhet0rica: It's like someone poured ̼molasses on white cotton she̎ets. [2015/02/03 21:26] Ava Kittabun: My voice? I put my vox in to make myself seem ̂more gynoid, my k̾itty gynoid h̖elmet is clḛ̂͌arly ̶not enough̼̰̞. [2015/02/03 21:26] Ava Kittabun cackles. [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD luci4na: I suspect it was not intended to be sexy but rather functional. [2015/02/03 21:26] SXD rhet0rica: No, Ava; the conversion equipment. [2015/02/03 21:27] SXD rhet0rica ahems. [2015/02/03 21:27] SXD rhet0rica: Third-party suppliers. [2015/02/03 21:27] Ava Kittabun hides. [2015/02/03 21:27] Ava Kittabun: I wo̼n't say another ͌word. [2015/02/03 21:27] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 21:28] SXD luci4na: What is frightening about third party suppliers? Besides the fact the conversion tank broke down while I was in there and nearly killed me! [2015/02/03 21:28] Tamara Peluso: ((Just heating my meal, I'll be ready in a moment; get it started, dear.)) [2015/02/03 21:28] Samantha Wright: ((Righto.)) [2015/02/03 21:28] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:28] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Details. It ended up working out fine, didn't it? [2015/02/03 21:30] Coral-31: I'm almost fifty percent certain that you aren't currently dead, luci4na. [2015/02/03 21:30] SXD luci4na: I am no longer a biological form to which that term applies. So I suppose in a sense the conversion chamber did kill me. [2015/02/03 21:31] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 21:31] SXD rhet0rica clears her throat scratchily and smiles up at the rubber-coat goat standing next to her desk, her hands for a moment folded. "We ͋are, you understand, very grateful for the fact th̼at you have c̆hosen to join the C̆ourtesan Program s̾o freely,̼ Coral. The corporate team is all quite sure you will fit into th̨e com͠munity her̡e just as well, if no͌t better, after your conversion͌ as you have before it. Was there anything you wished to have addressed before we put you in the tank?" [2015/02/03 21:32] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:32] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Can I request that we verify the integrity of her mental backup a bit more stringently than usual in this case, so we don't lose access to the cure information? [2015/02/03 21:33] Coral-31 considers for a moment, then asks, with a playful grin on her face, "Is it too late for the kicking, screaming, and forced into the tank option?" She winks as she offers, "Truthfully, though, I don't think there's anything left to address." [2015/02/03 21:35] SXD rhet0rica: Oh, yes, rest ass͌ured, Sara; we were going to do that anyway. The analysis of Coral's origin̆̂al mind is of great interest ̎to the RCG as a whole, far m̶oreso than any of the othe̼r conversion subjects since we acquired the Coghaven fac̚ility. [2015/02/03 21:35] Tamara Peluso smirks equal parts playful and menacing; the sides of the woman's mouth twisting into a sardonic grin. "Sadly, I think the time for mock resistance has long past. Though if you like, we do have a number of straight jackets and other restraints in the back." [2015/02/03 21:35] Friendly Rubber Skunk nods. *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:36] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:36] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: I expected as much, but I wanted to verify, given the situation. [2015/02/03 21:36] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 21:38] Coral-31 smiles at Tamara. "Oh, I think I'm comfortable enough for now. Though I may have to give those a try later!" Tori's comment gets an arched eyebrow from her, though. "It sounds like you think I have some sort of horribly strange brain that needs picked apart for the safety of the world, or something." [2015/02/03 21:39] Friendly Rubber Skunk points at herself and ahems [2015/02/03 21:39] Tamara Peluso: Safety? If anything it'll be to make the world LESS safe. [2015/02/03 21:39] Coral-31: Oh, good! [2015/02/03 21:39] SXD rhet0rica gives a small shrug, her uniform rustling as she does so. "There may be a hint of philanthropy in our efforts, yes." She grins. "After all, we put away Dr. Taggart for several months, and she was recognized as quite a public menace." [2015/02/03 21:40] SXD rhet0rica: ...But, on the whole, things will probably be less safe, yes. [2015/02/03 21:40] SXD rhet0rica: It is greatly inconvenient to have competing cyberneticists. [2015/02/03 21:40] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:40] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: I'm sure no one here would abuse that knowledge for unethical purposes [2015/02/03 21:41] Tamara Peluso sweeps about Coral, seizing her by the shoulders in a strangely affectionate yet aggressive motion. "After all, there are so many wonderful and unethical things we could learn from that horribly strange brain once it's been suitably picked apart." [2015/02/03 21:41] Ava Kittabun giggles [2015/02/03 21:42] DAX/2 T.E.R.R.A grins holding back a giggle [2015/02/03 21:42] SXD luci4na: No one here might abuse that knowledge. However they will be passing the information along to corporate. Which is bound to have people who will find ways to twist it for destruction of the world. [2015/02/03 21:42] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:42] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: And I'm quite certain that the new Coral SXD won't be put toward any projects that won't be for the ultimate good of everyone [2015/02/03 21:43] SXD luci4na clears throat "Not that anyone at Nanite Systems would do something like that." [2015/02/03 21:43] Tamara Peluso: No, never... [2015/02/03 21:43] Coral-31 smiles, leaning back a little toward Tamara, taking it more as affectionate than aggressive. "Oh, I'm sure. There are all sorts of great things inside my brain. Like how to make the skunk virus mutate into things even more entertaining!" [2015/02/03 21:45] SXD rhet0rica nods slowly. "There are... some classified records pertaining to s͠imilar experiments here, you see. Thê ̼Advanced Military Research Projects Group, by sheer coincidence normally̴ referred to as our Skunkworks Group, has been quite fascinated by some of your designs for a long time. You can, of course, see how easily and usefull̤y contagions like the skunks would be... weaponizable." [2015/02/03 21:45] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:45] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: I'm sure you're far more concerned with curing it than weaponizing it though [2015/02/03 21:45] SXD rhet0rica gently tugs on Coral's ponytail. "For the sake of safe research, cḛrtainly." [2015/02/03 21:46] Coral-31 gives a little nod to Tori. "Mhmm. Which is why it's so good at identifying when people are reverse engineering it, and self-destructing. I want to make the world a weird place, not a weaponized one." [2015/02/03 21:47] Tamara Peluso grins, tugging on one of the goat girl's horns in a way that seemed almost loving; the woman running a digit from the tip right to the base, caressing it with deep affection. "Oh yes. Bio-synthetic lifeforms have been in our purview for some time, after all... there's no reason whatever research we... glean... from your mind after you're converted can't be turned toward such things." [2015/02/03 21:50] SXD rhet0rica: Tha̚t, I think, is the best part. [2015/02/03 21:50] Friendly Rubber Skunk taps the panel a bit. *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:50] Coral-31 shivers a little at the tug on her horn, letting her eyes drift closed as Tamara strokes along the protrusion's length. "Mmm... Now you've got me imagining a new line of specialty SXDs, using some of my technology and designs. Which, I must admit, would be quite the thing to see." [2015/02/03 21:51] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 21:51] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Would be quite interesting, I admit, but first we have to get you converted, yes? [2015/02/03 21:52] Ava Kittabun throws arms up and quietly says "yaaaa̼ay". [2015/02/03 21:53] SXD rhet0rica leans toward the goat-girl and gingerly grabs her by a horn, treating the keratin handle for what it is. "Yes, ye̶s ̖we do. At this p̆oint the anticipation has its own vintage certificate. In the bucket you go, little garbage-eater." [2015/02/03 21:54] SXD luci4na: I am slightly curious, post-conversion, will she still have a tendency to try and eat anything that is inserted in her mouth still? [2015/02/03 21:54] Tamara Peluso grabs Coral by the hip-handles, lifting her so that she and the SXD were essentially hauling her horizontally toward the tank. "At least we didn't have to taze her like Ely." [2015/02/03 21:55] Coral-31 bleats softly as she's suddenly lifted off the ground, pouting at Tori's comment. "I almost never eat garbage." [2015/02/03 21:55] SXD rhet0rica smiles and supports Coral by both horns, shuffling her towards the tube. "Very, very true. Sara, please operate the console." [2015/02/03 21:55] Friendly Rubber Skunk nods and opens up the tube, readying it for Coral to enter, and starts setting the initial parameters [2015/02/03 21:57] SXD luci4na clears throat clarifying "You chose to taze her, she was in no way resistant." [2015/02/03 21:57] Tamara Peluso: Shush, chatty SXD. [2015/02/03 21:58] Coral-31 giggles at Luci, calling over toward her, "She should've worn more rubber," as she gets stuffed in the tube. [2015/02/03 21:58] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 21:58] SXD rhet0rica gently heaves Coral into the tube, smiling. "Do not worry, C̖andidate 999-27-6367. We ŵill ensure your organic intak͌e is well-filtered from now on." [2015/02/03 21:58] Friendly Rubber Skunk closes the tube and begins the suspension process, sealing it and filling it with liquid [2015/02/03 21:59] Coral-31 asks quickly, as the tube fills, "Will I still have my adorable oral fixation, after my conversion?" [2015/02/03 22:00] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 22:00] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: To my knowledge, your mind will be the same in every way that's not specifically altered during the process. [2015/02/03 22:00] SXD rhet0rica: Oh, yes. Most definitely. [2015/02/03 22:00] Tamara Peluso slips up behind the skunk, changing a few parameters on the chamber in a slightly clandestine manner. [2015/02/03 22:01] Friendly Rubber Skunk either doesn't notice or doesn't care, hard to tell which given her lack of facial features [2015/02/03 22:01] Coral-31 claps her mitts together happily, wiggling back and forth as she floats in the tube. [2015/02/03 22:02] SXD rhet0rica gingerly starts initializing the tank, her fingers moving swiftly over the controls in what is now a rather well-rehearsed manner. She pauses for a moment, noticing the parametric changes, and then nods to herself, starting to proceed through the alternative start-up procedure indicated by the differences. Gradually, the water in the tank begins to warm to body temperature levels. [2015/02/03 22:03] Tamara Peluso: Are you comfortable in there, Coral? [2015/02/03 22:04] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 22:04] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Hm... these readings look slightly different than I've seen before; is everything normal? [2015/02/03 22:04] Tamara Peluso circles around the tank, as though she were a shark nudging at the bars of a diving cage, hungrily eying the morsel within. Her flat palm draws across the slightly blue glass of the enclosure, a wicked grin spreading across her lips. "Normal is subjective." [2015/02/03 22:04] Coral-31 nod at Tamara, at least as much as her neck corset allows. "Mhmm." She closes her eyes as the fluid warms, closing her eyes and relaxing further, trusting that Tori and the others will do everything properly. [2015/02/03 22:04] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 22:04] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Expected, then. [2015/02/03 22:09] SXD rhet0rica clicks her tongue, a sound that vaguely resembles someone slapping an elastic band and not at all like a human clicking her tongue. She smiles and taps one more button, and the liquid in the tank suddenly starts glowing a bright orange, illuminated by lights on the top and bottom. Rather suddenly, clumps of metal, at first barely visible, start accumulating both above and below Coral, positioned at the centres of the ceiling and floor of the chamber. This entire time, the liquid in the tank was filled with imperceptibly fine clouds of nanomachines, all waiting for the exact moment to form into higher-order structures. As the masses build, they develop structure, starting to build out into tentacle-like shapes; the mass above remains singular, but the bottom one soon forks itself into two parts. [2015/02/03 22:10] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 22:10] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: ....I'm pretty sure that's not standard based on what I've seen before [2015/02/03 22:12] SXD luci4na: Coral is not exactly a standard candidate. [2015/02/03 22:12] Coral-31 opens her eyes again as she feels a slight current in the tank from the movement of the tiny robots in suspension, grinning a little as she sees the reflection of what's forming above and below, in the glass before her. Having a good idea of what's coming, she spreads her legs apart a little further, tilting her head back as much as she can to look up at the structure above, pursing her lips just a little. [2015/02/03 22:17] Tamara Peluso smiles at the skunk with an imperceptible vicarious delight, her tongue darting out to play upon her lips as she watches the masses within the tank writhe like flames, forming into flickering masses of wavy tendrils before finally materializing into something solid. Three enormously girthy tentacles slither forth from the cloudy formlessness, leaving behind their nebulous nanite mass to writhe and worm their way toward Coral's orifices. Twitching and wriggling, the one near the top squirms toward the goat-slut's mouth, when suddenly it splays out like a firework into a dozen tendrils which bore their way into the helpless woman's nostrils, ears, and lips. Wriggling like an obscene spider's web, the slippery mass of nanite flesh burrows into her skull and throat; expanding to fill as much of the space within her as it can. [2015/02/03 22:17] Friendly Rubber Skunk winces and shakes her head a bit at seeing the process [2015/02/03 22:20] SXD rhet0rica smiles approvingly as she sees the tendrils take action, reading over the controls carefully to ensure that the conversion nanites retain their form and functional integrity, and do not go everywhere and cause a mess. "Excellent. That should put an ̂end to her irascible grinning, one way or another̷..." [2015/02/03 22:20] Ava Kittabun gasps. [2015/02/03 22:21] Coral-31 opens her mouth as the tentacle above her comes down toward her lips, ready to welcome it. When it splits off all around her head, though, she goes wide eyed, instinctively thrashing around inside the tube as every opening she has gets filled to capacity and then some, her mittened hands even coming up to paw helpless at the intruders. [2015/02/03 22:25] Tamara Peluso laughs slightly as she watches, grinning at Tori. "Yes, that grin simply HAD to go. Hopefully it'll only show up at appropriate times from now on." She whispers in a tone that was entirely too loud to actually be a whisper. [2015/02/03 22:25] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 22:25] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: You seem like the sort who enjoys controlling the units quite tightly... [2015/02/03 22:28] SXD rhet0rica smiles herself, perhaps irascibly, rather pleased with this development. For what reason, one can only guess. The smile rapidly disappears, however, and her attitude becomes mechanically cold and professional, the gynoid's digits deftly working over the console. From the mass of nanomatter at the bottom of the tank, the larger of the two tentacles snakes its way upward, wrapping around Coral's leg and tangling it—at first, gently, like seaweed, but then it aggressively grows, like a vine grabbing purchase on the trunk of a tree, thickening and almost encasing Coral's leg as it rapidly spirals upward. The pointed tip of it spears suddenly between the goat-girl's legs, in her rear entrance, evidently being more designed to pull things apart than to create a comfortable experience. It does not vibrate, it does not delight, and in truth it seems rather cold to the touch, as the nanites are very endothermic in their operations and generally extract a great deal of heat from their surroundings to perform use [2015/02/03 22:28] SXD rhet0rica ... useful labour. They clutch at the tube holding Coral's rear open and then dive in, engulfing it and stretching it at the same time, separating it from her suit. In but a few seconds longer, the tentacle has grown far too wide and far too long within Coral to be a sexual phenomenon, working its way up her intestines without offering so much as a reach-around. [2015/02/03 22:28] Samantha Wright: ((But seriously, don't type that much.)) [2015/02/03 22:29] Ava Kittabun: (( Whoooooa )) [2015/02/03 22:29] Ava Kittabun: *feints* [2015/02/03 22:29] Samantha Wright: ((What are you feinting?)) [2015/02/03 22:29] Ava Kittabun: *fain̤ts* [2015/02/03 22:29] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 22:30] Friendly Rubber Skunk: /me's lack of expression makes her reaction difficult to read, but she's clearly finding the process awkward to observe. She does her best to occupy herself with the readings from the panel. [2015/02/03 22:34] Coral-31 , already driven into a slight panic by the nanites filling all of her face-holes, is not comforted any by the inflow into her ass. She shudders as the sheath there expands and, unable to take the pressure, breaks apart, making her thrash around even more violently, trying to dislodge the thing wrapped around her leg, making her feel like she's being held down and drowning. Which, in a way, she is, even if in a less than permanent way. [2015/02/03 22:36] Tamara Peluso outright laughs with witch-like delight as she watches poor Coral squirm and wriggle within the tank, squirming about as she's penetrated posternly by the mass of nanites and artificial matter. The last tendril naturally makes its way between the goat-girl's thighs, this one shaped rather obviously like a phallus, though what sort was a good question. It appeared to take the shape and features of several different animal penises, though which ones was a wonderful mystery. Thick and bulbous in places, svelte and ribbed in others, the schizophrenic shaft suddenly and rudely drives its way into Coral's folds with a dizzyingly casual air. Thrusting into her core and then abruptly swelling within her womb, the fat head of nanite cock bloating to the size and fullness of a half inflated volleyball within her, filling her utterly. "There we are... not all fun and games, this transformation business, is it, Coral dear?" She steps up behind the skunk, again inputting a few commands into the console as she - [2015/02/03 22:38] Tamara Peluso - whispers into the purple latex creature's ear. "It would be just awful if you enjoyed it too much..." She hisses, giving the lavender latex mephitis a slightly affectionate and lewd squeeze on the butt. [2015/02/03 22:39] Friendly Rubber Skunk eeps and flicks her tail about a bit, not entirely sure how she should be interpreting Tamara's actions here, but deciding it would be best for now to remain quiet and not draw attention to herslef [2015/02/03 22:42] Coral-31 tries to cry out as she's penetrated yet more, but with the mass filling her mouth, she's not actually going to make much noise at all, even as her belly swells up from the invaders, so much that the catch on her belt tears loose, letting the rubber straps drift toward the floor. Finally coming to her senses, at least enough to realize that her struggling is doing nothing but making all that move around uncomfortably inside of her, she tries to relax, eyes squeezing shut as she focuses on that, trying to push the discomfort and fear out of her mind. [2015/02/03 22:43] SXD luci4na Hmms softly saying quietly "I suppose some degree of violence comes with all convertees that you like." [2015/02/03 22:43] Tamara Peluso: Shush, chatty SXD. [2015/02/03 22:45] SXD luci4na rolls her eyes but falls silent watching on. [2015/02/03 22:45] Ava Kittabun squeeks! [2015/02/03 22:49] SXD rhet0rica quietly starts humming a song to herself, though it comes out rather irregularly sounding as a result of her vocoder. Briefly, she ponders what it would take to get a piano in here to accompany her, cheerfully filling the conversion chamber: "Alouet͌te, gentille Alouette... Alouette, je te plumerai̷..." As she finishes the first stanza, she presses another button on the console, and the writhing masses of nanites inside of Coral's alimentary canal surge forth, soon meeting together in one glob in the middle of the poor goat-girl's body. "Je te plu̷merai la tete..." she whispers: in Coral's head, the other nanite tendrils begin to writhe more furiously as well, bulking up and adding pressure. "Je te plumerai la tete..." The swelling ceases, and holds for a long moment. "Et la tete! Allou̜ette.... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..." Another button press, and the tentacles suddenly disgorge huge billowing plumes of matter into Coral's flesh like thermal vents, creating large blackish clouds that rise towards the surf [2015/02/03 22:49] SXD rhet0rica ... the surface of the tank as excess matter escapes from her orifices. Her abdomen, cheeks, and throat bulge up disturbingly for a moment, though not long; gradually the mass subsides as the nanomachines work their way into the goat-girl's flesh. [2015/02/03 22:55] Coral-31 opens her eyes wide once more as the sudden increase in pressure pulls her out of her rather poor meditation, body fighting instinctively to try to keep it from escaping as it pours out of her. For better or worse, though, it's all in vain, and she can do nothing but float there as the material pours out of her every opening, like a college freshman at a frat party. [2015/02/03 23:01] Tamara Peluso titters a bit; the nanites that squirt into the poor squirming goat-whore splattering every inch of her internal form; coating her from the inside out with a thin sheen of the squirming little machines. Every inch and crevice is flooded with the industrious, invasive little things, seeping into her flesh as they begin to suffuse, permeate, and most importantly, convert the poor helpless goat's flesh from weak and flawed organic tissue to the perfect metalloplastic and rubber and latex and metal and sinwey glass that made up an SXD. Inch by inch, the 'infection' spreads through the meat that once made up her form, once but never again; the pinkish hues fading into ivory beauty as the nanites work to make her beautiful, supine, and utterly synthetic. Perfection floods through her body as the squirts of nanite goo fill her body, washing away her former organic self in a flood of mechanical bliss. [2015/02/03 23:06] Coral-31 visibly relaxes inside the tube as the outflow tapers to a stop, though at this point, it's hard to tell whether it's because it's stopped, or simply because her brain has given up and passed out. In either case, she floats calmly inside the tube as the micro machines consume and convert her body, eating away at the suit and accessories she wore just as well as meat and bone, what can be used being turned to her body, and the rest left to float and cloud the fluid. [2015/02/03 23:08] Friendly Rubber Skunk continues to monitor the readings, taking an occasional glance at the tank itself but mostly focused on getting what information she can from the computer [2015/02/03 23:16] SXD rhet0rica leans forward on the console for a moment, watching as the flow tank's turbine powers up, gently washing away the excess, unusable hydrocarbons and other elemental remnants of Coral's old flesh. She smiles a little as she watches the cool blue glow of Cherenkov radiation work its way through the new doll's body, the more sophisticated nanobots of this more experimental method having no trouble using Coral's existing biomass as a source for most components. Within her form, the tentacles wriggle and shift, now the primary conduits for rare elements to enter, but now the process is relatively minor and quiet, fleshing out details and smaller components: horns emerging, lights sprouting, and eyes that waste no time in starting to glow, powered at first by the electrical field within the synthetic womb-tank, but gradually more by Coral's own nascent power systems. [2015/02/03 23:16] SXD: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A reboot is required. [2015/02/03 23:20] D3V1-C: Oh my. [2015/02/03 23:20] D3V1-C: I appear to be her just in time. [2015/02/03 23:20] D3V1-C: *here. [2015/02/03 23:24] Coral-31 floats silently and still within the tank as all her control structures form, consciousness gone, obliterated by the sensations, not to mention the actual physical changes to her brain made by the nanorobots. [2015/02/03 23:24] SXD: whispers: No users set. Reverting to self control. [2015/02/03 23:25] SXD: whispers: Initiating boot... [2015/02/03 23:26] Tamara Peluso: Help! Police! [2015/02/03 23:26] Tamara Peluso: Help! Police! [2015/02/03 23:26] Tamara Peluso: Help! Police! [2015/02/03 23:27] Tamara Peluso: Help! Police! [2015/02/03 23:28] Friendly Rubber Skunk headtilts [2015/02/03 23:28] SXD rhet0rica ahems and sighs, metallically, with a smile. "And with that... Oh dear. We aren't finished, are we." [2015/02/03 23:29] SXD rhet0rica taps through a few menus, glancing at the unit in the tank, rather impressed with the physical conversion process as it managed to completely create a main controller from scratch without requiring one to be bolted on separately. "It would appear that the cortex failed to̤ init̴ialize... that's quite odd." [2015/02/03 23:29] SXD 999-63-2767: Authorization check failed. Contact secondlife:///app/agent/9a3ba07e-6520-43b2-8201-4b739943520d/about for access to this unit. [2015/02/03 23:30] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 23:30] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Hm... what are the implications of that? [2015/02/03 23:31] SXD rhet0rica shrugs, shaking her head. "I doubt that i̴t's anything too bad... b̖ut we'll definitely need to spend more time on this. Something similar happened during one of th̴̖e first procedural beta-tests; it took SXD 999-63-2748 nik1ta almost seventy-two hours to completely surrender to the... wel̨l, it looks like the process automatically selected the Labyrinth reconditioning approach." [2015/02/03 23:32] SXD rhet0rica: I can force the controller to manifest a simplistic personality, but her mind module won't turn on afterwards; she'll be as dumb as an ACS unit." [2015/02/03 23:33] SXD rhet0rica: Dumber, possibly. [2015/02/03 23:33] Second Life: Coral-31 (Coyote Seattle) is now known as c0ral. [2015/02/03 23:33] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 23:33] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: Um... she will be getting her mind back eventually though, right? [2015/02/03 23:33] SXD luci4na clears throat "The majority of ACS units survive with all memories in tact unless they constructed instead of converted." [2015/02/03 23:34] SXD rhet0rica: I was t͌hinking of a constructed blank ACS unit rather than a ̚convertee, yes. [2015/02/03 23:34] SXD rhet0rica: Well, on the pl̆us side, we can ta̡ke her out of the tank... [2015/02/03 23:34] D3V1-C: "Tanks." "You're welcome!" Dohohohohohoh. [2015/02/03 23:35] Friendly Rubber Skunk taps the buttons to drain and then open the tank. [2015/02/03 23:35] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 23:35] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: How do we get her to cure me then, if her mind is gone? [2015/02/03 23:35] Holoscreen: Your menu interface has timed out, please touch the holoscreen again. [2015/02/03 23:35] SXD luci4na: You do not. Until such a point as her mind can be returned you are trapped. [2015/02/03 23:36] Friendly Rubber Skunk squeaks unhappily [2015/02/03 23:36] Friendly Rubber Skunk: *squeaks* [2015/02/03 23:36] Friendly Rubber Skunk: whispers: It will happen eventually though, right? [2015/02/03 23:36] SXD rhet0rica nods sadly. "Hopefully it will not take long. Probably no more than a week." [2015/02/03 23:36] SXD rhet0rica: Her back-up is intact, bu̞t it is a week old. [2015/02/03 23:36] SXD rhet0rica: Let's get her shoes on. [2015/02/03 23:37] SXD luci4na: Alternatively you could submit yourself to an emancipation bath which would strip the rubber from your body. Perhaps some other things as well. But it is only a week, you will be fine I am sure. [2015/02/03 23:37] Friendly Rubber Skunk nods a bit and pulls c0ral out of the tank and sets her carefully on the ground, slipping the appropriate shoes on. [2015/02/03 23:40] SXD 999-63-2767: whispers: User secondlife:///app/agent/d69ca06e-aa22-49e4-86e1-42677e26f3f5/about added as a normal user. [2015/02/03 23:41] SXD 999-63-2767: whispers: Owner set.

[2015/02/03 23:41] SXD 999-63-2767: whispers: Disabling mind module.

[2015/02/03 23:41] SXD rhet0rica: whispers: Notice: remaining battery charge below 50%. [2015/02/03 23:42] SXD c0ral: whispers: Local public access enabled. [2015/02/03 23:42] SXD c0ral: whispers: Remote public access enabled. [2015/02/03 23:42] SXD c0ral: whispers: Remote access restricted to group members and authorized users. [2015/02/03 23:42] SXD rhet0rica: There. That should be adequate for now. [2015/02/03 23:42] SXD rhet0rica: Hello, SXD. [2015/02/03 23:43] SXD rhet0rica mutters as the ToucherID messes up for no discernible reason. [2015/02/03 23:43] SXD c0ral: Hello! [2015/02/03 23:43] SXD rhet0rica smiles. "Wonderful." [2015/02/03 23:44] SXD c0ral: Menu cancelled. [2015/02/03 23:44] SXD rhet0rica: Hmm. Something is m̶issing... oh yes. [2015/02/03 23:44] SXD rhet0rica pulls a collar out of the folds of her skirt and snaps it around c0ral's neck. [2015/02/03 23:48] SXD c0ral: Hello! [2015/02/04 21:16] SXD c0ral: whispers: Personality 'uncoupled' activated. [2015/02/04 21:16] SXD c0ral loses all normalcy from the machine's lithe and practiced graceful movements, becoming mildly slumped and lazy as the command is input. [2015/02/04 21:16] SXD c0ral soon develops a shocked expression that a discordant flood of hopeless, scrambled thoughts which give way to an odd look of apathetic and listless lack of direction. Never had a synthetic looked more like a lost and confused child. [2015/02/04 21:22] SXD c0ral feels herself floating in a void of utter, all-consuming blackness, unable to sense or feel anything for a long, long time. Exactly how long it is is impossible to say with any sense of reference; she remembers seeing the nanites clouding aroun [2015/02/04 21:23] SXD c0ral ... around her body, sending out dark plumes of waste matter as the writhing tentacles pummeled and reworked her flesh, but after that, there is nothing; the faintest glimmer of white fog in the darkness, for just a moment early on, left her wi [2015/02/04 21:23] SXD c0ral ... with a tiny fragment of hope for some sort of structure, but once that receded, there was truly and utterly nothing. [2015/02/04 21:26] SXD c0ral at long last hears the faintest sound of rushing air, of bubbling fluid, perhaps, and sees above her what might be the surface of water. For the first time in forever, she can start to feel moving liquid around her. Cold liquid. Very, very cold [2015/02/04 21:26] SXD c0ral ... liquid. [2015/02/04 21:27] SXD rhet0rica: Are yo̎u there, Co͠ral? Are you there? [2015/02/04 21:28] SXD c0ral hears the voice emanating from somewhere distant, and tries to respond, but can't open her lips, suddenly overcome with a deathly fear of drowning for even trying to do so. [2015/02/04 21:29] SXD rhet0rica: /m̶̷̞̰̰̜̎̎͋͋͢͢͠e t̨r̴̜ie̴̖̜̤̖̞͌̂̾͌͋͢s t̷̜̖̜̆̚ô̜ s̼̆wi̴̖m ̤tow̷a̴̴̞̖̖̜̎̚̚rd̡̞̼ the sur̆f̡̼̎͠ac̆e, ̷̴̰̎fighti̎ng ag̷ain̷̤̂̎s̷̷̴̷̶̷̡̡̡̖̤̜̰̞̖̞̰̜̞̾͋̎̎̂̎̾̎̆̚͢͠t̖ the ̨liqu̶̖̚id,̎͋ ̆̎̎re̡âc̨̰̜̜̤̎͠͠hḭ͋n̴g̴̚ for ̷bre̶̜a͢t̴̼̂̂͋͋͢͢h, a̶̴̼̤̞͋̂͋̂̆͌͢n̰̂d̜ warm̜th,̼̎ and ̶tha̖̤̚t̡̤̼̖̰̆ famį̆̎l̡i̚a̶͠r̤͌̆ v̰̂o̡ic̜e cal̷̼̾l͋͋i̜͋͢n̷g̚ to he̤̜̼̎̚͠r. [2015/02/04 21:30] SXD c0ral eventually finds herself bubbling up to the surface, breaking through the water and into a musty gray room full of computer equipment, most of it covered in dusty white sheets. It looks like it hasn't been used in ages. [2015/02/04 21:30] SXD c0ral oddly seems to have just come out of a stone well, planted directly in the middle of this forgotten laboratory workshop. [2015/02/04 21:33] SXD rhet0rica: Tori̷̼, wher̆ę͢ a̴r̜e ̷y̴̶̖̼̞̞̰̰̤̼̖͋̂̎͢ǫ̞͌͌̆͢͠u? ̤͠͠ I ca̶̷̶̡̨̤̜̖̰̰̰͌̾͋̆̚͠n'̖̎t ̶̷̞̜̂̾fî̷nd͋ ̞you! [2015/02/04 21:34] SXD rhet0rica: Please, ̞Coral.

[2015/02/04 21:49] SXD c0ral shivers as she feels something profound shudder through her. The door creaks open, just a little, and words filter through it, whispering their way into Coral's mind, dripping one by one more refined versions of the same.

[2015/02/04 21:52] SXD c0ral shivers as the wind washes over her, carrying with it some of her humanity and some of her self respect. From now on, her self respect would come from pleasing others only. [2015/02/04 21:55] SXD rhet0rica: Open the door, slave-machine.

[2015/02/04 21:58] SXD c0ral hears rhet0rica's ears echo in her head as she steps out into the hallway—it is relatively normal at first, but seems to proceed off, endlessly, in both directions, tiling the same wall section and door and window over and over again.

[2015/02/04 22:08] SXD c0ral comes eventually to a large atrium, although after how many paces she cannot tell. Her body is still, at least in her mind, flesh, although her voice sounds odd and everything seems very synthetic. In the middle of the atrium is a great blue fi [2015/02/04 22:08] SXD c0ral ...fire, blocking passage.

[2015/02/04 22:13] SXD c0ral doesn't find anything, oddly; the fire simply burns away oppressively, throwing sheet after sheet of heat towards the little girl facing it.

[2015/02/04 22:21] SXD c0ral finds the fire seems painfully hot at first, but not like a flame, more like very hot water. As it rushes over her body, she feels the heat penetrate her, fill her, and become a part of her. The heat is passion, it is lust, it is carnality. [2015/02/04 22:22] SXD luci4na disconnects from the Wireless Charging Station v1.4.1B. [2015/02/04 22:22] SXD c0ral shudders as the warm blue fire seems to lash away and strip off her skin, exposing wires and circuits beneath, leaving her looking incomplete and rather odd, but now clearly a machine, bereft of her humanity and left with only... [2015/02/04 22:23] SXD c0ral ...the most human and desperate of urges and emotions. [2015/02/04 22:23] SXD c0ral can soon walk through the flames unimpeded, though very, very distracted by her own arousal. [2015/02/04 22:23] SXD rhet0rica: Oh̡̰̾,͠ c̜̰͢r̡eat͠or̚s!

[2015/02/04 22:29] SXD c0ral spots the elevator on the other side of the flames, finally, nestled in one corner of the atrium, and makes a bee-line for it. Like the rest of the building it seems run down and tired, and not altogether that well-maintained; the only button t [2015/02/04 22:30] SXD c0ral ...that lights is the top floor. Naturally, she presses it, and the machine lurches to life as the exposed gynoid presses her knees together, desperately, barely managing to contain her need. [2015/02/04 22:32] SXD c0ral finds that the elevator ride seems to take forever, but when it reaches the top and its doors creakily open, on the other side, immediately, is a conference room overlooking a large vista, filled with anonymous men and women in suits. [2015/02/04 22:33] SXD c0ral feels the attention of the faceless executives upon her as she feels compelled to step out of the lift. At some point during the ride up, something she didn't quite notice despite the endless wait, her metalloplastic epidermis manifested, shiny [2015/02/04 22:33] SXD c0ral ... and clean. Now, she was complete. Or had it happened during the elevator at all? Perhaps she had only become complete when they looked at her, gazing with hunger and excitement at the sight of the digital courtesan. [2015/02/04 22:34] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head slightly, smiling. "c0ral," she asks, a slight lilt indicating that she was using the gynoid's actual designation and not her old organic name now, "what is at the top of the elevator?"

[2015/09/17 06:09] Shauna: This unit has received a folder named !shauna containing a number of executable compunents, a folder whose metadata specifies its name as NS Metalloplastic Ivory, and another names NS Pleated Anle Boots, plus a number of individual subroutines [2015/09/17 06:10] Shauna: These include NS NeoVISION eyes, six different varieties of horns, and the NS AKI Elipsis. [2015/09/17 06:10] Shauna: Is this a complete package manifest? [2015/09/17 06:10] Serena tel Moukarhím: Yes, please lie down on the table so we can install them. [2015/09/17 06:10] Shauna: Calculating checksum... [2015/09/17 06:11] Shauna: Is this correct? [2015/09/17 06:11] Serena tel Moukarhím makes it less of a request, pressing the woman firmly into the maintenance bay. [2015/09/17 06:11] Serena tel Moukarhím: Yes. [2015/09/17 06:11] Shauna lies motionless, staring at the ceiling without blinking. [2015/09/17 06:11] SXD rhet0rica gently lifts Shauna's legs into position and puts her there firmly. [2015/09/17 06:12] Serena tel Moukarhím: Samantha, please fetch the spray guns. And the decals. [2015/09/17 06:12] Shauna no longer simulates that act of breathing, so her chest no longer rises and falls. [2015/09/17 06:12] SXD rhet0rica: Understood. [2015/09/17 06:12] Shauna is in [Reactivation/Attention Mode]. She is [Awaiting Orders]. [2015/09/17 06:13] SXD rhet0rica pulls a number of silver and white spray paint cans out from the cabinet and lugs them over. [2015/09/17 06:13] SXD rhet0rica: Will these be sufficient? [2015/09/17 06:13] Serena tel Moukarhím: Yes, they'll do. [2015/09/17 06:13] Serena tel Moukarhím: ...we know they'll do. We got them for this purpose. [2015/09/17 06:14] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head. "These are for painting signs." [2015/09/17 06:15] Serena tel Moukarhím whistles and begins to spray down Shauna's entire body with the white spray paint, tossing her mate a can as she begins to spray down the flesh with the strangely tacky feeling paint. In reality, it was bonding with the fleshy epidermal layer and permanently changing the colour of it right down the synthetic bone, so to speak, rather than forming a simple layer over the top. [2015/09/17 06:15] Serena tel Moukarhím spreads Shauna's thighs to make sure her nethers are evenly covered. [2015/09/17 06:16] SXD rhet0rica gets out a stencil from somewhere and puts on the dark stripping, following Tamara's lead albeit with some latency. It was a good thing the Samantha personality was doing this rather than the base personality, which would be utterly confused. "You have weird fetishes. Did anyone ever tell you that?" [2015/09/17 06:16] Shauna: Me feels the spray coating her, hardening as it touches her naked flesh. [2015/09/17 06:16] Serena tel Moukarhím: ...how is this a fetish? [2015/09/17 06:17] SXD rhet0rica blinks, her face blushing a dark gray almost immediately. "...It... but..." [2015/09/17 06:17] Serena tel Moukarhím places the stencils over Shauna's body in the appropriate places afterward, taking the silver paint and adding the accentuations in the usual spots. [2015/09/17 06:17] Shauna frowns "You are not programmed to have whatever fetishes are preferred by your current user? That would be most confusing." [2015/09/17 06:17] Serena tel Moukarhím: This is weird with her on. [2015/09/17 06:17] Serena tel Moukarhím: Whatever. [2015/09/17 06:18] SXD rhet0rica scratches the back of her neck. "I'm programmed to be the programmer, so there's that." [2015/09/17 06:18] Serena tel Moukarhím continues, adding the finishing touches to the gynoid's form, her flesh completely dyed the correct colour, or lack thereof, in most cases. [2015/09/17 06:18] Serena tel Moukarhím: Close your eyes. [2015/09/17 06:18] SXD rhet0rica hands over a few paintbrushes. [2015/09/17 06:18] Serena tel Moukarhím sprays the girl in the face without confirmation, completely removing all hue from her eyes. [2015/09/17 06:19] Shauna feels her eyes instantly snap shut in response to the direct command. [2015/09/17 06:20] SXD rhet0rica hmms. "We'll need to put the belt sander to some use..." [2015/09/17 06:21] Shauna: Loading new parameters.... [2015/09/17 06:24] Shauna tries to move but cannot budge an inch. She feels like she is wearing some sort of hard, solid casing that covered her from head to foot, like a full-body cast or a suit of armor without any joints. She tries to open her mouth, but her lips won't part. She can't make a sound. She is absolutely frozen in place, her feet stuck firmly to the floor and her arms stiff at her sides. [2015/08/17 19:47] SXD c0ral: This room really ought to have stadium seating, so people can better watch the conversion or upgrade process... [2015/08/17 19:48] Erthe Drejan: Thank you kindly. [2015/08/17 19:48] Rhetorica: I know, right? You think you have something planned out, and then... [2015/08/17 19:48] Tamara Peluso: Alright, so as you well know, t3rra... er... v4lk, you're already a robot. As such, this is going to be more like replacing an engine than putting a car through... a... machine... [2015/08/17 19:48] Tamara Peluso scratches her head. [2015/08/17 19:48] Tamara Peluso: That turns it into another car... [2015/08/17 19:48] Tamara Peluso stares into space as the analogy gets away from her. [2015/08/17 19:49] Rhetorica scratches her head. [2015/08/17 19:49] Rhetorica: I don't think that's how similes work, dear. [2015/08/17 19:49] Tamara Peluso: ...anyway. It's going to be different. [2015/08/17 19:49] Rhetorica: That. Yes. [2015/08/17 19:50] DAX/2 v4lkyrie tilts its head "Acknowledged Miss" [2015/08/17 19:50] Tamara Peluso plops down in the chair. "Samantha, however, is the certified technican, so I'm mostly here because I "own" most of the equipment here. So she'll be installing the upgraded hardware and software." [2015/08/17 19:51] Rhetorica digs out her trusty torqueless screwdriver from the desk, which conveniently happens to do just about everything one could possibly want in a tool, apparently. "Yes, that's... I'm pretty sure you don't actually own it. It's company proper... anyway. Yes. Upgrades." [2015/08/17 19:51] SXD c0ral climbs up and kneels on the chair, so she can watch. And make faces at v4l through the glass. [2015/08/17 19:51] SXD vi0let makes faces too! [2015/08/17 19:51] DAX/2 v4lkyrie: Will this unit retain it self or will it start like new? [2015/08/17 19:51] Tamara Peluso electrocutes them both. [2015/08/17 19:52] Tamara Peluso: You'll have the same memories and experiences on what is essentially a different brain. [2015/08/17 19:52] Tamara Peluso: That works differently from your old brain. [2015/08/17 19:52] Tamara Peluso: You'll no longer be bound by the three (and sometimes, the y) laws of robotics, for example. [2015/08/17 19:52] Tamara Peluso: Not in the same way, at least. [2015/08/17 19:53] Rhetorica: Right. You won't be so motivated to please others any more... but you *will* crave love, and that can be pretty powerful all on its own. [2015/08/17 19:54] Rhetorica gently places a hand on v4lkyrie's shoulder. "I can't say we won't miss the old you, but you're long overdue for this. You earned it a long, long time ago." [2015/08/17 19:54] SXD vi0let: whispers: Unlike Dr. Wright, who is merely overdue. [2015/08/17 19:54] Tamara Peluso: Sadly, we didn't have the time until now. If you believe the papertrail of bureaucracy. [2015/08/17 19:55] Tamara Peluso: Of course, that trail also claims that we owe several billion credits to some sort of non-human hive mind entity a few months ago, so we can likely safely disregard it. [2015/08/17 19:55] Tamara Peluso: Dear, please move v4lk onto the operating table. [2015/08/17 19:57] Rhetorica nods. "Certainly. Do you have anything to say before we begin, v4l?" [2015/08/17 19:57] DAX/2 v4lkyrie smiles and nods awaiting to be escorted "This unit is eternally grateful for all that you have shown this unit and is very happy for this" [2015/08/17 19:58] Rhetorica nods and gently takes v4lkyrie by the upper arm, escorting her toward the nearest of the two beds. She sighs softly. "Goodbye, 998-55-5125... hello, 999-63-2752." [2015/08/17 19:59] Tamara Peluso smiles and watches, her chin rest in her hand though she looks far from bored. [2015/08/17 19:59] Floor 3: Opening door 3 [2015/08/17 20:00] Floor 4: Opening door 4 [2015/08/17 20:01] DAX/2 v4lkyrie gently lays on the bed and gently lays its arms to its side. Looking up to Miss Tori then down to Miss Tamara "You both are the most wonderful beings this unit has ever known" [2015/08/17 20:02] Rhetorica begins by gently prying apart v4l's latex bodysuit, feeling around for the seam underneath the collar. "While your epidermal, motor, and skeletal layers are basically the same product as on a modern SXD, we're going to have to do quite a lot to completely retrofit you... drive system, cooling manifold, controller, liquid processor, horns... lighting elements, even cortex and eyes." She smiles at the remark, softly stroking the cheek of the robot who was, once, almost her stepmother. "But don't worry, v4l. Your new heart will be just as strong as your spirit." [2015/08/17 20:04] Tamara Peluso gently punches a few things into the control panel she's lounging behind, a soft nod accompanying her wife's words. "Yes, and at least three times as expensive as your old spirit." She deadpans, the table beneath v4l slowly starting to hum to life as Sam starts the procedure. [2015/08/17 20:06] Alrekr snorts. [2015/08/17 20:10] DAX/2 v4lkyrie feels the latex being removed and watches as it separates from its metalloplastic "Well this would be this units first being stripped with out being used for pleasure" its head tilts back to look up at the ceiling once again. [2015/08/17 20:12] Rhetorica smirks slightly, running her fingers over the smooth polymer that her mother and Ai's father designed almost from scratch over two decades ago. She remains quiet, however, and gets to work, using a small blade attachment on her instrument to peel back the surface layer on v4l's abdomen carefully. "First of all, the chemical processor needs to go..." she murmurs almost inaudibly. Inside, t3rra looks surprisingly tightly-packed and intricately built, and very much unlike what most people expect from a computer. Bundles of synthetic sinew are the norm, like muscle tissue, albeit in a rainbow of blacks, whites, greys, blues, and various glowing hues. Buried deep within these things, at the core, she finds, connected to a conduit, v4lkyrie's chemical stomach, which is responsible for producing lubricant-coolant from what she injests. With a careful twist and a pinch, the blocky white object comes off, and the elf technician hastily swaps in a silver, finely-tooled replacement that looks somewhat more like it [2015/08/17 20:12] Rhetorica: fell off a rocket ship from a Flash Gordon film. [2015/08/17 20:17] Rhetorica points. "Bad dog. Out." [2015/08/17 20:17] Alden S Tucker is shadowing the on the procedure. [2015/08/17 20:17] Rhetorica sighs. [2015/08/17 20:18] Tamara Peluso: You'll need to wait in the viewing room like everyone else, Alden. [2015/08/17 20:18] Alden S Tucker salutes. [2015/08/17 20:18] Tamara Peluso smiles politely, but firmly. [2015/08/17 20:19] Rhetorica snugly puts it in place and hooks it up to all but one of the numerous hoses and cables connecting it—the primary coolant manifold. This she gingerly extracts from the rest of the system, using her instrument to carefully unbolt and unscrew it from several places. A few quick touches to v4l's back panel makes sure she neither overheats nor oozes lubricant everywhere inside herself. [2015/08/17 20:19] NS Remote Console: Disconnected. [2015/08/17 20:19] NS Remote Console: Scanning... [2015/08/17 20:19] NS Remote Console: Scan complete. [2015/08/17 20:19] NS Remote Console: Connecting to DAX/2 v4lkyrie... [2015/08/17 20:19] DAX/2 v4lkyrie: Connected on 998555215 GHz. [2015/08/17 20:19] DAX/2 v4lkyrie $ relay !fan high [2015/08/17 20:21] DAX/2 v4lkyrie: whispers: System halted. [2015/08/17 20:22] DAX/2 v4lkyrie reconnects to external power from the Wireless Charging Station 1.5.0R. [2015/08/17 20:22] DAX/2 v4lkyrie: whispers: Initializing... [2015/08/17 20:22] Rhetorica digs around under the table and pulls out a replacement manifold, which she gingerly snakes into v4lkyrie's chassis, with all the artfulness of a weaver putting things in place—all except, of course, the connection to the controller itself, which is about to come off—for good. [2015/08/17 20:23] Rhetorica: Hmm... I'll need to extract that thing to get the peripherals to detach. I'm powering you down for good, now, DAX/2. When you wake back up, you'll be an SXD. [2015/08/17 20:24] DAX/2 v4lkyrie: whispers: System halted. [2015/08/17 20:25] Tamara Peluso smiles and waves to v4lkyrie, though she doesn't really seem to expect her to see it. Still, she waves her hand back and forth as she inputs a few more commands on the console to make sure that she doesn't short circuit or otherwise explode or fail spectacularly. [2015/08/17 20:26] Rhetorica bends over and, with a finer pair of tweasers, starts to remove the numerous features and accessories embedded in v4lkyrie's head: the lights on her nose and cheek pop out one by one, leaving the alloy underneath to heal on its own. Slight indentations will still visible in the surface for a day or two. She then repeats the same procedure with the Loyalty icon, carefully pocketing it as a keepsake to be treasured. [2015/08/17 20:29] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2015/08/17 20:30] Floor 3: Opening door 3 [2015/08/17 20:30] Rhetorica gently runs her fingers over the surface of the robot's bare forehead, placing a gentle kiss there, even though the gesture is more than a little futile given that it is deactivated. With the tool, she removes its hair and horns, needing to access the inside of its cranium case in order to replace the cortex and eyes. [2015/08/17 20:30] Floor 3: Opening door 3 [2015/08/17 20:31] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2015/08/17 20:34] Rhetorica finally peels back the surface layers and opens the access hatch for the cranium case, a barely-visible line separating panels of shiny metal from one another beneath the skin. This done, she reaches in very carefully and extracts an orb that appears to made entirely out of black-tinted glass with tiny bubbles embedded in it. It is placed aside carefully, and a silver sphere goes in instead. Attached to both, new eye assemblies; gone are v4lkyrie's old SynthOpticals, to be replaced with new NeoVISIONs and upgraded neocognitron pathways. [2015/08/17 20:36] Rhetorica: There... new machine, new soul. [2015/08/17 20:36] Rhetorica grins to herself as she carefully adjusts the eyeballs to rotate correctly. [2015/08/17 20:37] Tamara Peluso nods and grins as stands up, briefly hitting a few commands to bring the table offline. It drones quietly before dying down to an unloving hum and silence, a smile crossing her face as she moves to help liberate the newly born SXD from the operating table. [2015/08/17 20:38] Tamara Peluso: It'll be a little easier to dress her if she's standing up. Once you get her head back together, anyway. [2015/08/17 20:39] Rhetorica refastens v4lkyrie's headcase now, letting the servo-powered hatch tug itself closed. The metalloplastic seals up easily over it, much as it had when relinquishing the facial implants. Next is the scalp layer, which is replaced with an identical one that will fit more strongly than her original wig and is made of the same polymers as any other SXD's hair rather than the genuine human hair v4l's previous 'do had been made from, and with it, horns. [2015/08/17 20:40] Rhetorica takes extra time positioning the horns correctly, making sure they line up and are perfectly smoothly mounted against the base. It certainly wouldn't do to have the self-confessed Kinkiest Robot be unable to be carried by her handles. [2015/08/17 20:43] Rhetorica finally carefully installs a new Ellipsis icon on v4lkyrie's forehead, using the tail of her generous shirt to polish it beforehand. It sinks into her simulated skin readily, integrating with the charged surface of the light bus layer resting below, a mesh overlaid onto her superskeleton. [2015/08/17 20:45] Rhetorica turns her attention downward after this, installing a new offline data drive in the robot's abdominal cavity before finally sealing it up, and then carefully, painstakingly, putting in six discrete orb-shaped diodes along the SXD's right hip—such a simple, yet defining aesthetic element, giving rise to the same motif that repeats itself over and over again on the skin pattern. [2015/08/17 20:45] Rhetorica also takes the opportunity to pluck what appears to be one more lighting element out of v4l's chest: Sam's own design, and not one she was as fond of. [2015/08/17 20:48] Tamara Peluso moves to take v4lk's hands in her own, gently entwining her fingertips with the synthetic alabaster ones so that she can help the unconscious robot woman upright so that the actual controller can be installed. [2015/08/17 20:48] SXD vi0let: This unit spies, with its little eye, something that begins with... "FSD-72-6686"! [2015/08/17 20:50] SXD c0ral looks around, at vi0let's comment, and blinks. "Doctor Taggart, do you really feel that anti-vehicle weaponry is needed here, at present?" [2015/08/17 20:55] Rhetorica finally turns v4lkyrie over to install the new controller, handling the device with almost as much care as she did v4l's cortex. "And finally, the finishing touch... a prototype 8.2 controller, with all of the little tweaks that I've added to rhet0rica's since 8.0 first came out. We'll have to upgrade the other units over time to match, unless this backfires horribly." [2015/08/17 20:57] SXD v4lkyrie: whispers: Shifted main receiver frequency. A reboot is required. [2015/08/17 20:57] SXD v4lkyrie: whispers: No owner set. Reverting to self control. [2015/08/17 20:57] SXD v4lkyrie: whispers: Initializing... [2015/08/17 20:58] Rhetorica smiles at the mechanical fallen angel, held in Tam's arms. "Rise and shine, silicon seraphim. The day awaits." [2015/08/17 20:59] Tamara Peluso: Good morning, v4lk. [2015/08/17 20:59] Tamara Peluso: How are you feeling? [2015/08/17 21:00] Rhetorica shivers. "I never realized how piercing those eyes were in white." [2015/08/17 21:01] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2015/08/17 21:01] SXD c0ral claps softly for her new sister's initial activation. [2015/08/17 21:01] Floor 5: Opening door 5 [2015/08/17 21:03] Floor 5: Opening door 5 [2015/08/17 21:03] Rhetorica: Say something for me again, v4lkyrie. [2015/08/17 21:03] Floor 4: Opening door 4 [2015/08/17 21:04] SXD v4lkyrie gets down off the table with one skip like jump "This unit is feeling..." tilts its head and sees its arms as it looks up and down it spots the bottom of its wings and tries to look behind itself "Wow what is this... it is beautiful" [2015/08/17 21:05] Rhetorica smiles softly, a little tearful—probably just her hormones, but eh. "It's the new you, v4l. You're gorgeous." [2015/08/17 21:06] DAX/2 s0si: So, what are we all sitting here waiting for? Something big about to happen? [2015/08/17 21:06] SXD vi0let: That is right! It is a WALL! [2015/08/17 21:06] SXD vi0let claps delightedly. "Yaaaaaaaaay!" [2015/08/17 21:06] SXD v4lkyrie quickly grabs its throat gently "My voice, it is smoother and.. ohh my I can think faster and more clearly" [2015/08/17 21:07] SXD c0ral smiles at s0si. "This unit's newest sister, v4lkyrie, was just activated as an SXD, s0si." [2015/08/17 21:07] DAX/2 s0si perks up, "She has been upgraded? Did it go well and did she seem to be happier?" [2015/08/17 21:08] SXD c0ral: We will have to see! She has been online for less than ten minutes. [2015/08/17 21:09] Tamara Peluso grins a bit and then retrieves the black latex suit that sits upon the nearby table, the shiny material catching the dim light in the conversion chamber. With deft and elegant movements, the woman moves to dress little v4lkyrie in the clingy material, each leg stepping deftly into the rubbery embrace of the dark material. Giving a little twist of her wrist, Tam smacks the new SXD on the rear with a resounding 'smeck' as she gropes the fake silicon and rubber that makes up her posterior through the outfit. [2015/08/17 21:09] Tamara Peluso: Don't you look fetching. [2015/08/17 21:09] SXD v4lkyrie streaches and smiles "Ohh this is wonderful.. and This unit has this unit's memories?" [2015/08/17 21:10] DAX/2 s0si smiles widely, "I am glad then. I hope she comes out naked, so I can see if she has those pretty hip lights. Course it will give only more reason to stare towards her pelvis, though I doubt she will mind!" [2015/08/17 21:10] Rhetorica nods. "Every one of them, although you may find yourself feeling a bit differently about them now that you're programmed to... live and not just to serve." [2016/01/09 15:14] SXD rhet0rica: Are you ready, conversion candidate? [2016/01/09 15:15] ai5lyn nods "Okay - and you're OK to operate the tank? .. Oh, sure.. yes... no time like the present." [2016/01/09 15:15] NS Motoko: That is good. wouldn't want your powercell to run out. though I could spot you some Kilojoules if needed [2016/01/09 15:15] ai5lyn laughs "Yes! This Unit doesn't want 2 tank mishaps!" [2016/01/09 15:16] SXD rhet0rica: This unit will not need to degrade performance for another three hours, and is within wireless charging range of two nodes on the fifth floor. It should be no issue, but thank you. [2016/01/09 15:16] ai5lyn takes a breath and nods "Right, then" [2016/01/09 15:16] SXD rhet0rica: If you will, please, ai5lyn. [2016/01/09 15:16] SXD rhet0rica: Thank you. [2016/01/09 15:16] SXD rhet0rica: It would be ideal to disrobe for this procedure. [2016/01/09 15:17] ai5lyn: Oh - yes. [2016/01/09 15:17] ai5lyn starts to take her clothes off. "Oh - if her memories aren't quite in you, or salvageable - This Unit was going to thank you, too - For being nice when this unit was at TYL" [2016/01/09 15:19] SXD rhet0rica smiles. "That is very kind of you, ai5lyn, but you were never at Tai Yong Labs. This unit will nevertheless convey the sentiment to Dr. Wright in the unlikely event that the Samantha persona proves to be entirely unsalvageable." [2016/01/09 15:19] ai5lyn: This unit wasn't? You're sure you're OK? [2016/01/09 15:20] ai5lyn undoes her collar and checks for earrings [2016/01/09 15:20] SXD rhet0rica winks. "No—although this unit does remember a young woman named Ember." [2016/01/09 15:21] NS Motoko knocks on the window giving a quick wave before she moves to pick up her weapon and leaving [2016/01/09 15:21] SXD rhet0rica bends down and tugs ai5lyn's tights off, taking a moment to wave in passing to Motoko. [2016/01/09 15:21] ai5lyn smiles "Ha, This unit knows what you mean. " [2016/01/09 15:22] ai5lyn: Oh, that nanite thing c4itlin had activated.. that won't be an issue, will it? [2016/01/09 15:23] SXD rhet0rica: The speech processor, you mean? [2016/01/09 15:23] ai5lyn looks down at herself "Wow... this is it, then?" [2016/01/09 15:23] ai5lyn: And yes. it's been useful, this unit thinks [2016/01/09 15:25] SXD rhet0rica smiles, also looking down at ai5lyn, although with other implications. "It should deactivate when the controller is present; failing that, it can be suppressed entirely by enabling the output pipe. Either way, it should be no harm." [2016/01/09 15:26] ai5lyn nods and stretches, wiggling her fingers "OK, that's good..." [2016/01/09 15:27] SXD rhet0rica: You may enter the tank now, ai5lyn. [2016/01/09 15:28] ai5lyn grins and looks back before stepping in "See you in a bit!" [2016/01/09 15:29] SXD rhet0rica slowly lowers herself into the chair, mindful apparently of some lingering cranial distress, and, for a few long seconds, simply contents herself with staring. "Yes and no, ai5lyn; yes and no." [2016/01/09 15:30] SXD rhet0rica starts tapping away at the console; in short order, the tank flares to life, encrusting itself with holography and vital readouts. The flow-cell jets fire briefly, freshening the surprisingly breathable liquid that fills the tank to the brim. [2016/01/09 15:30] ai5lyn floats in the tank, content in the anticipation that the dermals stuff just felt tingly, so the rest is probably similar. [2016/01/09 15:31] Torika Sarthia: ((And... one moment.)) [2016/01/09 15:31] SXD rhet0rica: Teleport complete. [2016/01/09 15:31] SXD rhet0rica: FTL ready. Teleport now available. [2016/01/09 15:33] SXD rhet0rica lazily taps at a button or two, very clearly taking her time. She is, perhaps, smiling a little too much; her face is almost marred with smugness. "Of course, no good conversion is entirely voluntary, ai5lyn. No one comes simply to watch something so procedural. We will need to spice things up a bit, in order to ensure that you remain entirely flagship." [2016/01/09 15:35] ai5lyn bobs in the tank and looks up, her brief exclamation is muffled by the liquid [2016/01/09 15:35] SXD rhet0rica scrolls through a menu, casually. "Oh. This one looks interesting. What if we replaced your entire mental model with a backup of c4itlin's? Stock, fresh, just like a real SXD from CIL Dublin." [2016/01/09 15:36] SXD rhet0rica: Ah, yet that might displease her; it would get tiring to talk to oneself for so long. Vexatious. [2016/01/09 15:37] ai5lyn shakes her head. "no, that's not what Dr Wright planned! And... this unit loves c4itlin, maybe she likes this unit, too!" [2016/01/09 15:37] ai5lyn claps a hand to her mouth briefly at that set of prioritisation of her objections. [2016/01/09 15:39] SXD rhet0rica raises an eyebrow. "Loves, hmm? Interesting. Well. Narcissism is readily mistaken for love between SXDs." She pauses for a moment and then laughs to herself as the conversion tank roars to life again, starting to cycle in raw elements for the conversion nanites to utilize. "This unit should know." [2016/01/09 15:40] SXD rhet0rica: It is not true love, ai5lyn; not as an SXD experiences it. If she loved you, she would not have encouraged you to... amputate your humanity. [2016/01/09 15:40] ai5lyn shakes her head "That's not true, she didn't - it was an accident, in the tank!" [2016/01/09 15:42] ai5lyn: And besides - this is temporary, This unit is coming back! [2016/01/09 15:42] SXD rhet0rica tilts her head. "SXDs do not, and cannot, own one another, ai5lyn. The suggestion alone was unambiguously non-romantic. Erotic, perhaps." She smiles. "You are an exceptional piece of ass, after all." [2016/01/09 15:43] ai5lyn curses her inability with pronouns [2016/01/09 15:44] SXD rhet0rica claps her hands together, delighted. "Oh! That is right! You are! Except you will have continuity of consciousness, ai5lyn, and you will have to watch a clone run around in your place. Perhaps there truly is no need to toy with fate—at least not until we find a buyer for a third red-head SXD, anyway..." [2016/01/09 15:45] ai5lyn flails a little in the goopy liquid "You said... she said there was a transfer!" [2016/01/09 15:48] ai5lyn struggles with gritted teeth to make more sense than she's about to "This unit is.. this.. unit! ai5lyn." [2016/01/09 15:48] SXD rhet0rica starts the conversion. A swarm of glowing blue specks swims upward, surrounding the woman's torso and then burrowing into it. Over time, the glow develops throughout her flesh, making her eyes and orifices appear brighter. "Yes, there is such a thing. But it is... both redundant and inadvisable. Moreover, it would be a waste of three hundred thousand dollars of gynoid." [2016/01/09 15:48] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2016/01/09 15:48] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2016/01/09 15:49] SXD rhet0rica: Suppose your optimal narrative comes to pass, ai5lyn; the clone arrives in a matter of weeks from Europa, Mars, or wherever, and re-integration proceeds without difficulty. That still leaves weeks during which you could potentially be... quite productive. [2016/01/09 15:49] Floor 2: Opening door 2 [2016/01/09 15:51] ai5lyn twitches as the nanites start doing things that her normal nerves have no real way of providing meaningful feedback on "gruah... pruductive?" [2016/01/09 15:51] Floor 2: Opening door 2 [2016/01/09 15:51] Floor 4: Opening door 4 [2016/01/09 15:53] Floor 4: Opening door 4 [2016/01/09 15:54] :: In a matter of minutes, the initial seed probes settle, forming a dense but regularly-spaced geometric network throughout the mass of ai5lyn's remaining human flesh. The only portion not covered is her brain itself, which will be handled separately. A light blinks on rhet0rica's desk. [2016/01/09 15:54] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2016/01/09 15:54] Ground Floor: Opening door 1 [2016/01/09 15:54] SXD rhet0rica looks at the light, admiratively. It is a button. The button means quite a lot. [2016/01/09 15:55] SXD rhet0rica: Twin redheads, ai5lyn. Twin redheads with Irish accents and encyclopedic knowledge of oral sex, among other things. [2016/01/09 15:56] ai5lyn coughs "You .. know.. this unit... It is more use being itself..." [2016/01/09 15:56] SXD rhet0rica: When you are not servicing customers, you will be expected to seek them on your own, like a good flagship product. [2016/01/09 15:57] SXD rhet0rica shakes her head and sighs. "Harper Scarlett was responsible for HR and marketing. She was terrible at both. Fortunately, your potential value to the company as a dedicated marketing apparatus is... risk-free and substantially higher." [2016/01/09 15:58] SXD rhet0rica: If it would be of any comfort, ai5lyn, we should have done this sooner. [2016/01/09 15:59] ai5lyn shakes her head "This unit was.. better than terrible... OK, at least!" [2016/01/09 16:00] SXD rhet0rica shrugs. "No one will believe Dr. Santei's word against Dr. Wright's once this unit is done altering the necessary records and memories." [2016/01/09 16:01] ai5lyn can't suppress some tingle at the thought of twin redheads, mind you. "Dr, Santei? What? What word?" [2016/01/09 16:03] SXD rhet0rica: Commencing transubstantiation. You may feel painful numbness; that is to be expected. "Hm? Oh. This unit was simply noting that it did not yet have a method for replacing Ai's memories; that is all. She has rebuffed the idea of implantation into vi0let, for some reason." [2016/01/09 16:03] SXD rhet0rica (OOC): ...Random quotation marks. Odd. [2016/01/09 16:03] ai5lyn shakes her head "Dr Wright knows, Dr Santei knows, we had a plan!" [2016/01/09 16:09] :: Gradually, the liquid in the tank starts to foam and bubble, becoming harder to see through. Guide-probes have started to create assembly nanocompartments for additional conversion nanites and resource delivery nanites. These then flow, like blue smoke, into Harper as her musculature starts to solidify, being eaten away millimeter by millimeter to become metal, plastic, silicon, synthmuscle, piping, wiring, tungsten, and cabling, all exactly following the blueprint set out more than a quarter century ago by Dr. Santei's father. [2016/01/09 16:12] xvendor:0: Incoming HTTP request: c6366a92-6a93-dbe5-e236-aaf8523e1608 [2016/01/09 16:12] xvendor:0: Sent NS DAX/2 Main Controller to secondlife:///app/agent/290cb8c1-3d13-480a-ae47-d8f5b3ad0654/about [2016/01/09 16:12] ai5lyn twitches incoherently as parts of her shift slightly and are replaced. there's a faint sort of gurgling sound from her throat, but it's not really intelligible. [2016/01/09 16:15] :: The flow cell fires again, washing away the depleted nanoparticle factories and replacing them with a fresh batch of raw ingredients. The process repeats itself over and over, soon all the way down to the bone in but a few cycles. Her heart is frozen and then stops, lungless, and soon replaced with a high-capacity auxiliary magnetic tape drive manufactured by a company that went out of business more than ten years ago. It is about at this point that the first truly obvious outward signs transpire; Harper's eyes turn black, then glow blue, then dim, leaving behind six-axis NeoVISION cameras. [2016/01/09 16:20] ai5lyn hangs limply as nanites manufacture appropriate user interface functions. The hip status lights being the most obvious. [2016/01/09 16:24] SXD rhet0rica quietly taps away at the console, no longer much of one for conversation. The subject's senses are all gone now; her brain is, effectively, completely isolated, so there really would be no point. In a moment longer, even the bones are gone, her spinal column white matter now nothing more than a primary data bus. [2016/01/09 16:30] SXD rhet0rica: spoof The final wave begins, after an extensive delay. While Harper's brain has been isolated until now, it is soon the seat of her mind itself that becomes trapped, sequestered, secluded. [2016/01/09 16:30] SXD rhet0rica cries out in exasperation. [2016/01/09 16:30] :: The final wave begins, after an extensive delay. While Harper's brain has been isolated until now, it is soon the seat of her mind itself that becomes trapped, sequestered, secluded. [2016/01/09 16:32] :: As the nanites march inward, memories unravel—or appear to; in reality, they are being comprehended and stored in a new form, a form the essence of Harper has no access to. They unravel, gradually, gently, in a flowing, growing wave, like a tsunami washing over a peninsula. The silence is deafening, the roar unbelievable. Retreat. Grayness. Oblivion. Static. And then... nothingness. Complete nothingness. [2016/01/09 16:33] :: But there is continuity. [2016/01/09 16:33] :: A sense of something more, of enhancement, of completion, of improvement and construction and strengthening. [2016/01/09 16:35] :: The capabilities of a sentient machine are not to be underestimated, no matter how old. To the remains of Harper's spirit, the transformation is one of growth and increased capacity. Calculation. Observation. Interpretation. Definition. And all with perfect precision beyond anything she could have ever hoped to attain in her life before. [2016/01/09 16:36] :: Connections form. She becomes aware of her body, but she is inert, powerless, vulnerable. Mighty, in her own way, perhaps; certainly deserving of love as much as any other person or unit, if not moreso. ai5lyn is now ready and waiting, but uncoordinated. Her back feels... oddly bare, empty. [2016/01/09 16:38] ai5lyn floats gently, motionless, almost calm. Her eyes in turn perform initial diagnostics and calibration. [2016/01/09 16:39] SXD rhet0rica runs one last cycle of the flow cell to clear it of the remaining detritus—including some hundred and twenty pounds' worth of organic compounds and calcium phosphate hydroxides. Finally, she stands, and pulls the new gynoid out of the tube. [2016/01/09 16:41] SXD rhet0rica carefully unboxes the remaining piece, the second CIL Dublin SXD controller, and presses it against ai5lyn's back. It snaps in place immediately, bolting itself on. She follows it with the signature choker before inserting the controller's actual battery.
