Personification Life - IC Part IV

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"The software should be easy to write. The hardware will be tricky to make. It needs to be portable and hidden and able to get into the system since slots aren't wireless. I like the challenge. I'm in." Fortu said.

Monique clapped her hands and kissed his cheek. "The only downside is we have only five days. Can you do it in that amount of time?"

"Plenty of time." Fortu said with a smile.

[The BranRiech]

"If her augmentations are as clever as they look, you would have been safe," he reassured Rylli. "Sensors usually let us know if things are underfoot.

"I remember Bran talking about that right after he was captured by the Drones." She said, nodding politely at Mai. She'd heard of her before but never met her up untill now.

[Swith Witherward]

He offered Mai a smile. "Are you enjoying the island?"

"I have been, even more so since I have my own body. Also, hello Bran and Rylli."

*He sighed and demonstrated the process on how to make the drink. In the end, he successfully finished the drink* "And that's how you make a drink, any question?"

Swith tasted it. "Hmmmmm... well. Hmmmm. Perfect. No questions."

--

Monique sighed. "Wonderful! Now, what about this file?" she gestured to what Fortu had brought back.

[Cerillium]

"Your own body? Soul transfer or A.I.?"

[The BranRiech]

Shrugging, the couple nodded and walked off down the beach together. They passed the boat from the other night and stopped to examine it for a few seconds before Bran thought it was a bad idea to be doing it in his Military Trenchcoat.

[Germanic Templars]

"Well that's good to hear." *he made himself a drink then sat next to Swith*

"I'm actually an A.I., though I wish, like Pinocchio, to be real. Still this is a great gift to have."

[Monfrox]

"I think it's in good taste!" The User said with a nod of affirmation. She elbowed NVE in the ribs with a scowl.

"Okay we promise we won't bite, raptor's honor." NVE said. "It is the experimental gene therapy." Gretta explained.

"Seems like something you'd try." The User replied. Lilly stood by and gently clasped her hands.

[Cerillium]

"There isn't anything wrong with artificial intelligence," he reassured Mai.

[Germanic Templars]

"There isn't anything wrong with artificial intelligence," he reassured Mai.

"That, I know, but it's the fact that I want to be real."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Monique sighed. "Wonderful! Now, what about this file?" she gestured to what Fortu had brought back.

"This is the research NVE had, it was his thesis for one of his degrees. I'll have to modify the formula to work on crustaceans, and tone it down a bit so it isn't as votile." Fortu said.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Okay we promise we won't bite, raptor's honor." NVE said. "It is the experimental gene therapy." Gretta explained.

"Seems like something you'd try." The User replied. Lilly stood by and gently clasped her hands.

"Have we ever gone back on our word?" NVE asked.

[The BranRiech]

"Seems like something you'd try." The User replied. Lilly stood by and gently clasped her hands.

"Have we ever gone back on our word?" NVE asked.

"No you haven't." Bran said, appearing from behind a bush after Rylli left to go home.

[Cerillium]

"You're real. You are tangible, aren't you?" Ceril asked.

He shook his head, "Artificial does not mean not real. It doesn't matter if your intelligence is grown in a vat, is created through natural process or is constructed. Is Thriller's intelligence artificial when he leaves his body? Does is suit negate his reality? No."

[Swith Witherward]

"Well that's good to hear." *he made himself a drink then sat next to Swith*

"I'm actually an A.I., though I wish, like Pinocchio, to be real. Still this is a great gift to have."

"That's why you're the best bartender," she said. "I just wish Lucius would cut you some slack. Honestly, being a demon doesn't automatically make you raging evil. I mean, all demons have their moments. Even Beelzebub could be a rampaging terror when pushed. But Lucius and his damn leash and muzzle. What the f*ck is with that? I leash my succubi tastefully and would never do so to humiliate them.... unless, of course, we were playing Humiliation. Ugh," she finished with a snort and took a sip of her drink.

Naomi cleared her throat. "Well, I did promise Mai something to drink. Could we all go inside?"

--

Monique looked over the notes. "This is too technical for me to ever understand," she said. "If anyone can make it work, it's you. I would just... well, screw it up."

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Have we ever gone back on our word?" NVE asked.

"No you haven't." Bran said, appearing from behind a bush after Rylli left to go home.

"Hey Bran." NVE greeted. "We forgot to give you your gift and Rachelle's, Rylli already got hers." Gretta said and gave Bran two boxes.

[The BranRiech]

"Hey Bran." NVE greeted. "We forgot to give you your gift and Rachelle's, Rylli already got hers." Gretta said and gave Bran two boxes.

"Aw geez, you didn't need to." He said, wondering how many times he'd said that in the past few days. He shrugged happily and opened the first box.

[Cerillium]

"I'm sorry, Naomi. We shouldn't keep your guest standing here. You shouldn't stand out here either," he offered the godling his arm.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Hey Bran." NVE greeted. "We forgot to give you your gift and Rachelle's, Rylli already got hers." Gretta said and gave Bran two boxes.

"Aw geez, you didn't need to." He said, wondering how many times he'd said that in the past few days. He shrugged happily and opened the first box.

The first one was a helmet. "So you won't hit your head anymore. Remember that one day when you smacked into a tree twice and ran into a wall?" NVE said.

[The BranRiech]

The first one was a helmet. "So you won't hit your head anymore. Remember that one day when you smacked into a tree twice and ran into a wall?" NVE said.

"Not really, but thanks you two." He said, making sure to hide the Helmet Mon gave him on his belt behind his back. Wanting to get off the subject of helmets, Bran opened the next box.

[Swith Witherward]

"I'm sorry, Naomi. We shouldn't keep your guest standing here. You shouldn't stand out here either," he offered the godling his arm.

"Oh, no, it's okay. It's just that I don't control... you know what... and he doesn't know Mia yet." She accepted his arm and gestured for Mia to join them.

Swith glanced up from her drink when the group arrived. "Well, now we've kidnapped Thriller's friend," she smiled. "Hello again, Mai. Feeling better?"

[Germanic Templars]

"Well that's good to hear." *he made himself a drink then sat next to Swith*

"That's why you're the best bartender," she said. "I just wish Lucius would cut you some slack. Honestly, being a demon doesn't automatically make you raging evil. I mean, all demons have their moments. Even Beelzebub could be a rampaging terror when pushed. But Lucius and his damn leash and muzzle. What the f*ck is with that? I leash my succubi tastefully and would never do so to humiliate them.... unless, of course, we were playing Humiliation. Ugh," she finished with a snort and took a sip of her drink.

"To be honest, I personally think he does it as a little game of revenge."

"Right, i'll tell you more once we are inside, Cerill."

"I'm sorry, Naomi. We shouldn't keep your guest standing here. You shouldn't stand out here either," he offered the godling his arm.

"Oh, no, it's okay. It's just that I don't control... you know what... and he doesn't know Mia yet." She accepted his arm and gestured for Mia to join them.

Swith glanced up from her drink when the group arrived. "Well, now we've kidnapped Thriller's friend," she smiled. "Hello again, Mai. Feeling better?"

"A little." *she softly replied*

[Monfrox]

"Is someone else here?" Lilly asked. "Yes, Bran. He's a friend. He's also engaged! Can you believe it?" The User said, nudging the lucky man with her elbow playfully. Lilly giggled. "Well congrats." She said in her usual polite manner.

[Cerillium]

Ceril cracked open a beer and sat at the table.

[Swith Witherward]

"To be honest, I personally think he does it as a little game of revenge."

"He needs to get a handle on his issues," Swith said.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

The first one was a helmet. "So you won't hit your head anymore. Remember that one day when you smacked into a tree twice and ran into a wall?" NVE said.

"Not really, but thanks you two." He said, making sure to hide the Helmet Mon gave him on his belt behind his back. Wanting to get off the subject of helmets, Bran opened the next box.

"Well you did hit your head three times." NVE said as Bran opened the box. It was contained textbooks on physics, chemistry, history, and calculus. It also had notes written on the pages, written by the raptors, pointing out errors. "It's fror Rachelle, the easiest subjects we could find." Gretta said.
