hello out there on the internet how has your week been good great, not good i am sorry for that, i myself have had a busy week with finals and trying to organize a job shadow also talking with rooster teeth about "somethings" that made me happy and hopefully they decide to do it that's all I am going to say on that subject though. anyways i hope i have not screwed up this chapter because i was not sure on how lopez would react to the new things he was processing from the emotions and information
Lopez pov. I walked in my room feeling an exhaustion i should not feel it went beyond physical which i feel when i over worked my motors this exhaustion i felt in my core but there is somethings to take care of so i open my mouth to call out my a.i. But nothing came out other than a few sparks oh yeah my voice module was shot during that last battle well maybe now i can get one with english instead of spanish. I give a sigh and bring up my messaging board i dislike using it but it should work for now "eta can you come out" a monotone voice read out
The gold a.i. Appeared in front of me standing in the same posture as me and gave me a slight nod "can you start church's message please?" my message board reads out. Eta gave another nod and vanished and church appeared where we was
"Ahhh" church sighed "hey lopez how are you like my gifts? you are Probably feeling slightly confused by the new information adapting your processors and the new feelings appearing in your mind. Anyways i hope you don't hate me for this you most likely would have reached past metastability to completely human now you dont have to worry about it and no court anywhere in the universe can say that you are just an a.i. Anymore you are you'r own person now and are as stable as any person the only difference between you and a human is how you came to be in the world." church sighed "there are a few things i don't know how they will work out your death for one you might be immortal for all i know, all i know for sure is if nothing happens you will live a long life, another thing i don't know how it will work out is how the governments of the universe will react because unlike the other a.i.'s you are an a.i. who wasn't based off another person, the last thing i don't know is how you will react to your new emotions i gave you eta because fear is a major one that you will have to deal with and he represented fear all i can say about fear is it is ok to feel it just don't let it hold you down because there are only two choices when dealing with it you either face everything and rise or you forget everything and run the choice is your's Lopez. Eta is blank on what he is best at but you should be able to find something in the store of information i left in tex and there is more information in the computer system just use the code: project-redvsblue;codename-epsilon-Leonard-church. All the files on where the rest of freelancer tech carolina and i could not go and get since we were stuck here are there and some more info you will have to find out about yourselves." church flickered "i have to go now good luck lopez one last thing i have to say before i go is i hope you stick with the rest of the crew but you don't have to now… but i dont think you will find a more suitable group to make your family and make sure to grab f.i.l.i.s.s. From the chairman's ship she deserves a life as well there is a file attached to help her evolve as well but it will be slower than yours, anyways that's all goodbye Lopez best of luck to you and the others this is Leonard church signing off." church's image changed to eta and a ding appeared in my inbox it was the file church was talking about. I thought about sheila in that ship waiting to be deleted again and felt my core go cold i don't want that to happen again "eta plot out the fast route to the chairman's ship" my board readout eta nodded and a map appeared in my head i ran out of my room grabbing some things as i passed them, my heavy body shaking the floor slightly causing slight muffled bangs from under my boots that i had grabbed before heading out i passed sarge looking at me with wonder at what i was doing now was not the time to chat though i hear steps next to me and see the old soldier running steadily next to me he gave me a brisk nod and we continued to run till we got to the armory the person running it looking surprised to see his higher ups running towards him without armor "two transport cubes" sarge said to the soldier
"Right away sir" the soldier said
I looked over at him with a raised eyebrow "its faster this way." he said and off we went
Sarge and i hurried up to the ship the pilot had brought it down with relative care after the chairman abandoned ship and it was now at crash site alpha i ran into the ship as we passed the guards sarge took care of talking to them to get us in i ran up to the nearest computer station and my sign readout "sheila are you here?"
"Lopez?" the a.i. Said "what are you doing here?"
"I am here to bring you to join us if you want to be part of our family" my sign readout
"I would… like that a lot." she said sounding hesitant "but i am not sure i will be allowed to"
"Non-sense we would love to have you join us" sarge said walking up next to me
"It's not you guys i am worried about it's the unsc" she said
"It's not up to them they had their chance and blew it, it's your turn to decide now" sarge said
"Agreed" my sign readout
"So little lady what you want to do?" sarge asked
"I… I want to go with you" sheila said
"Ok hot dog and don't you worry little lady we take care of our own here, the unsc can come and try to take you but they will get one hell of a fight and now we need to have somewhere for you to go " sarge said
"Agreed and the ball Simmons was looking at earlier should work right?" my sign said
"That's right church was in that before wasn't he?" sarge said "well do you think it would work?"
"I believe so you would just need to connect it to my mainframe," sheila said
"Ok where is it?" sarge asked
"It is in the chairman's office," sheila said
"Let's go then"
sarge and i took off in that direction we found the ball in the corner of the room and hooked it up to the terminal in the office "here we go" sarge said when we plugged it in the terminal "go for colonel sarge" sarge said when he got a communication request from someone
"Yes, mam Kimble Lopez and i are in the ship we had to pick up something we almost left behind."
He paused waiting for her to finish talking "yeah i'll explain later just know it is something important."
"Transfer complete" sheila said from the ball the core circle now a light powder blue the ball started to hover
"Ok good lets go now when we get to the exit little lady can you let lopez carry you we don't want to cause any trouble before we can explain to Kimble ok?" sarge said
"Ok that would be fine" sheila said
The three of us started back to the exit sheila humming a tune that sounded somewhat familiar. When we got back to the base carolina was waiting there for us with an unreadable expression on her face "so you want to tell me what you were doing?" carolina asked
Sarge, sheila and i looked at each other "in the morning miss fussy britches" sarge said as he passed by her dodging a kick directed at his shin and i looked at my internal clock and saw that it was only 11:38 in the night it felt a lot longer than that "well then time for bed" my sign read out "sheila do you want to go with carolina or me?"
"I think i will go with carolina we have some things to talk about and it should be easier if I am there in the morning," she said after hovering for a bit, we went our separate ways and when i was in my room getting ready for my sleep mode
ok as i said i hope i did not trash this chapter one more thing before i go pay attention to the files i mentioned there are a few more chapters in this arc where they are mentioned and will play a role if i continue on past this arc
