Hey there everyone… I'm finally getting to this story, the AU continuation of "Not Quite Human". The first thing I will say about this story, is that at times it might get a bit gruesome, but it won't get too bad. You will definitely see shades of different movies in this as I am combining a few to create this story.

Disclaimer: Any characters used from the show Kim Possible are owned by the Disney Mouse. Here and there I might create some OC's and the movie premises that are recognized are not mine either. So all you lawyers… please consider this as the story is read. Thank-you…

Chapter 1

Dr. Vivian Francis Porter was always a workaholic, and this time was no different. She was a bit of a perfectionist, but not to the point of being obsessive. Unfortunately though, when she got the idea of creating an exoskeleton that could aid those who were paralyzed to walk, she came as close to crossing that thin line as possible.

It was about 6 months ago when she tested her first version of the exoskeleton. It was a simple system that had all basic articulation that assisted major joints in the body: shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles. A person who was a quadriplegic could easily walk around and use a simple grasping mechanism to pick up light-weight objects.

It was in her first test of the basic exoskeleton that Vivian could see the one major issue that would cause trouble in the future if she was to complete this medical device.

"It's too slow… way to slow in response time. This passive sensor system that picks up the bodies neural signals is just not good enough." Vivian said to her assistant android Oliver.

"You know the inherent problems of tapping directly into the human nervous system Vivian…" The rotund android began to say.

"Yes I am aware Oliver. Infection, possible rejection…" She counted the items off on her fingers.

"And not to mention the incredible strain put on the nervous system that could actually cause permanent brain damage." Oliver finished.

Three months later, Vivian and Oliver were able to make additions to the exoskeleton that improved on the reaction time, but by only a meager 10 percent. The largest improvement on the system was in finger articulation, and improved balance control.

"Look at this Oliver… This has to be my best work in micro-controllers yet!" She wiggled her fingers that were encased in gloves of her own design. The underside of the hand was a soft material that could flex and stretch, yet on the top of her fingers and hands was metal. She increased the speed of moving her fingers and wrists, but suddenly the joints locked up.

"Damn it! Every time I think we've made these great advances, the problem with the speed of articulation always seems to bring us back a few steps. If I could create a computer system that could react quick enough… that could almost predict the next motion a person needed to make before they could even think it…"

"You do realize that you're talking about an AI system Vivian?" Oliver asked. "And you know how long it took you to develop the artificial intelligence system that is the main software running inside me. It would take another… year? Maybe longer, to finish such a system."

"I know Oliver… I know. If there was any kind of a short-cut… Like an already operational system… One that could be easily adapted…" As Vivian spoke to her android assistant, she was walking around behind him. Oliver never once thought that she would do anything to hurt him, but he was also unaware of just how driven Vivian Francis Porter could be. That is until the micro second just before Vivian pressed his shut-down key located on the back of his neck near the base of his skull.

…x x x x…

The newest and most current version of Vivian's exoskeleton now hung before her from the ceiling of her workshop located in the Middleton Science Academy. Made almost exclusively of the metal Adamentium, this version cost the most. The Board of Directors almost didn't approve of the budget for the improvements, but she was able to convince them that the advances would be worth every cent approved.

Vivian gently ran a finger along the dull silver headgear of the exoskeleton. She marveled at just how small she was able to make the main part that housed Oliver's AI. It covered only the left quarter of the skull, including the left eye, and had metal straps that ran to the other side of the head that connected to the other ear-piece, and the entire piece covering the head was only about an inch thick. This connected to a flex-steel collar that wrapped around the neck, which in turn connected to the rest of the body.

The rest of the exoskeleton almost looked like an android itself, and was dull silver as well. Vivian decided that for now she would keep everything the natural color of the Adamentium. All the limbs were completely articulated, including the hands and fingers that she had built just a few months ago.

"Are you still online Oliver?" She said to the exoskeleton.

The diagonal red lens meant to go over the left eye began to glow brightly. "Yes Vivian, I am. I hope you do realize that I am very upset with you."

"I'm so sorry I did this to you Oliver. But I needed a working AI, or else this project would have gone even more over budget, and definitely past the deadline the Board gave me. I promise after the initial testing to prove that everything works I will return you back to your normal self. OK?"

"I've never known you to break your promises Vivian. So I will trust you. I am curious though… I can sense other systems connected to this exoskeleton that I wasn't aware you were going to add."

"You're referring to the new neural interface?"

"Of course. I thought we already discussed the ramifications of using a physical connection the body's nervous system."

"Oh I worked on that system while you were temporarily offline as well, and with some assistance, I believe that I have been able to circumvent those issues."

There was a pause from Oliver, as he was aware that Vivian liked to work alone for the most part. "What kind of assistance?"

"Oliver… Let me introduce to you one of the premier brain surgeons in the country, and the small team that I employed to help me with this project." Vivian pulled out her cell phone, and pressed the speed dial. "Neurology team? You may come in now."

A magnetic lock released letting the main door to the lab slide open, allowing Vivian's neurology team to enter the room. The team was led in by none other than Dr. Anne Possible. Behind her was Dr. Charles Guberman, and nurse Melanie Cartwright. Behind the group of three, a fourth member of the team walked in that caused what would be considered a sound of surprise from the Oliver AI… Dr. Elizabeth Director.

"Why is Dr. Director here?" Oliver asked with what could be considered surprise.

Vivian was about to answer, but Dr. Director spoke first. "I am here to see if the work that Vivian has done would not only be beneficial to the medical community, but to GJ as well." Dr. Director turned from the exoskeleton towards Vivian. "And I have to say, I am very impressed so far. But one thing has me confused."

"What's that Elizabeth?" Vivian said, opting to be less cordial, using the woman's first name.

"With Oliver online as he is now, what keeps him from taking control of the exoskeleton?"

"To put it simply, there is no human element put into the system yet." A look of confusion crossed Elizabeth Director's forehead. "I created the system so that control of the exoskeleton is not possible until the connection has been made between the AI and the person wearing the exoskeleton."

"And that's where we come in." Dr. Anne Possible said. "Me and my team here assisted Vivian in creating the interface. We are also here to monitor the connection to make sure that everything works as it is supposed to."

"You mean…" Dr. Director began to say.

"Yes Dr Director…" Vivian said, "The system is ready for a full test run."

"I didn't expect this so soon." Dr. Director said with more than a bit of surprise.

Vivian said nothing else, and proceeded in preparing the exoskeleton to put it on. First she had to release small magnetic clamps on the legs which let them swing open not unlike a clam shell, allowing her to step inside. As soon as her legs were in place, the legs closed, and sealed shut with the magnetic clamps. The torso was already open from the back as it hung from the ceiling by cables, and she easily placed her arms into the sleeves. Once she was in position, the back of the torso swung shut and sealed, once again with magnetic locks.

The last part Vivian put on was the headgear and neckpiece. She now stood before them looking almost like a complete android, if it weren't for most of her face uncovered.

The medical team immediately began checking the systems on a computer a few feet from Vivian. "Everything looks good from here Vivian." Dr. Guberman said.

"Are you ready to see the future Dr. Director?" Vivian asked, and then spoke to the Neurology Team. "I'm ready for connection."

Vivian's mind was a whirlwind at this pint. She was quickly going over all the checks in her head to make sure nothing was forgotten. All systems were online, the AI was ready, she was ready, Oliver was ready… Oliver! The Oliver protocols that had his personality were still online! She had to warn…

All Vivian was able to get out of her mouth was a strangled "eep" just as Dr. Guberman pressed the enter button. A small needle quickly shot into her spine at the base of the neck, creating a physical connection to Vivian's neural system system.

"Are you OK Vivian?" Anne asked and could see that the woman was in extreme pain. Her right eye, which was visible, was clenched tightly shut causing a tear to fall down her cheek. The red lens covering her left eye was rapidly blinking, and it suddenly stopped, appearing to be off.

Vivian's mouth worked up and down, and her right eye popped open, but it just stared straight ahead. Finally Vivian spoke, but it wasn't her voice alone. It sounded like a mix of Oliver and Vivian's voice.

"I… I am… Ol… Ol… Oliver… Vi… Vi… Vivian…"

"What's going on?" Dr. Director asked as she backed away from Vivian.

Dr. Guberman's fingers flew across the keyboard. "Oh my God… Vivian didn't deactivate the Oliver personality! All of his systems were still completely online! Right now Vivian and Oliver are in a battle with each other to see which one is in control!"

"Can you stop it?" Dr. Director almost yelled as she continued to back towards the door.

"I can try…" Dr Guberman then tried to make adjustments on the computer, but nothing worked. Each time he pressed enter, the message "Corrupt System" would begin flashing on the screen. "I'm locked out! I can't access anything!"

Once again Vivian spoke in that dual voice of hers and Oliver. "I… I…am Vi…vian… I am… Ol… iver…"

"C'mon Viv…" Anne said as she and the team could do nothing but stand there and watch.

"…vian… liver… Oliv… vian… Ol… ian… Ob… ian… Ob… livian…" Finally she paused for a few seconds, then, "Obliv… ian. Oblivian… I… am, Oblivion."

"Oh crap…" Dr. Guberman muttered.

"What now?" Nurse Cartwright asked.

"Not only was Oliver's personality fully aware, all of his subsystems were as well." Dr. Guberman's eyes were wide.

"You mean…" Anne said with more than just a little bit of trepidation.

"Yup…" Dr. Guberman said, " The Triple P. The Personal Protection Programming."

"And that's going to see Vivian's personality as an attack on its systems." Dr. Guberman nodded, and all Nurse Melanie Cartwright could do was look at the two doctors. The only reason she was there was to help monitor and assist the two.

"So won't that programming shut everything down?" Dr. Director asked as she took two steps towards the two doctors.

"It… might…" Dr. Guberman said.

"Or it might create a third personality combining both Vivian and Oliver." Anne suggested. "And we would have no idea what that personality would be."

Oblivion spoke again in that dual voice of the two. "I am Oblivion. All others… are inconsequential. All others… are a threat to Oblivion's survival."

"Oh snap…" Came the response from Nurse Cartwright.

What happened next was so fast that no one could initially react. Oblivion ripped herself from the cables that had been holding the exoskeleton from the ceiling, grabbed the nearby computer terminal, and flung it at Nurse Cartwright. It smashed into her head, crushing the side of her skull, killing her immediately.

Dr. Director pulled out her side arm and began to fire on Oblivion, who took two hits to the chest plate, and then moved so quick that she could barely be seen. Oblivion slammed into Dr. Director, throwing her backwards into the wall, and her head made a sickening crunch. She slid down, leaving a streak of red on the wall.

Next, Oblivion turned towards Dr. Guberman, and quickly grabbed him by the neck. She lifted the man about a foot off the floor, and squeezed his neck making him choke. With a sudden flick of the wrist, his neck was snapped, and Dr. Guberman's lifeless body fell to the floor.

Oblivion then turned to go after Dr. Anne Possible, but she wasn't there. She scanned the room, and couldn't see the other doctor anywhere in the room. Then she saw that the exit was wide open, and Oblivion stepped out into the hall. Red lights were flashing everywhere, signaling that there was a problem. Her acute sensitive hearing picked up running feet heading down a nearby stair well.

Oblivion easily smashed through the door leading into the stairwell, and looked up, then down. She immediately ran down, intent on catching Dr. Anne Possible. She was the only one left who could identify what just occurred.

Oblivion quickly reached the bottom of the stairs, and slammed through the door which exited the building. She looked around the immediate area, and walking, not running, was someone in a white lab coat and short red hair, facing away.

She reached down with a metal hand, and grabbed the door that had just been ripped off its hinges. Oblivion heaved the metal door sideways, throwing it like a Frisbee (copyright). The target was only about 50 feet away, and there was virtually no warning as the door sliced clean through the body of Dr. Anne Possible, cutting her in half.

"Dr. Anne Possible… eliminated. Oblivion will survive."

So… what do y'all think so far??? Yeah, I'm using aspects from a couple of blockbuster movies… but I think I'm using them in unique ways. At least I hope I am…
