A/N takes place in 5th season so 5th season spoilers and also a few for season 4. Takes place after the Doyle-Andromeda encounter
Entry One
She is gone. Finally. That imposter. She should not be allowed to walk all over me trying to override my systems. The way she walks around like a god, arms out hands up turning on lights and non-essentials. She is wasting what little power I have.
She is not me. She is a mere fabrication, nothing like my true humanoid avatar, Rommie.
Rommie, I never thought I would think this but I miss her. I know she isn't alive. She is simply a modified worker android made to look like me and given command capabilities and the building blocks of my personality. But she seemed more human.
I remember the first time Dylan and I encountered Magog. I didn't recognize her. I asked who she is.
"I am you!"
"You are a modified worker android designed to look like me."
She started to walk towards the door.
"Stop! You cant go through there!"
"Oh really." She responded opening the doors.
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"To find out what's wrong with me. Sometimes I can be a real pain in the ass!"
Now that I look back on that, it must have been frustrating for her, to not be recognized by our core operating system.
And when she believed I was being to cold or using too much 'machine logic', she would try to correct me.
She was more apart of me, us, the ship.
This ancient earth Barbie doll in spandex is not a part of me. Typical Harper work. I am a warship. She is an android under the misguided belief that she is a warship.
I will speak to Dylan about taking her command access offline. She has not earned it. She cannot be trusted.
She has no place walking around like she owns me. She has never even been here before.
I do not believe Dylan would take her offline and replace her with Rommie. We could download Doyle's personality into a file and remake Rommie. I have a file with her personality and memories locked away. Then transfer Doyle to a worker android. Without command access.
I don't think that would make her very happy. Serves her right. Harper could remake Rommie and download her personality but then there would be two Andromeda avatars. Something tells me my avatar would not like the imposter. She does not know how to run a successful ship. Rommie does.
I remember how a year or so ago when Dylan, Trance and Beka were on a planet and the Magog attacked, Rommie took us to slipstream. As I look back on it now, we most likely would have died if we had stayed around. We are no good to Dylan dead. And she was only trying to help. If Harper's program hadn't kicked in I would not have thought twice about her decision.
Now, I have an android whose, if she was human, boobs would weigh her down so severely she would fall down my catwalks. Typical Harper.
I don't suppose Dylan or Harper would like it if I threw her out the airlock. Or crushed her in an AG field. Or ripped her arms and legs off and replaced them with nanowelders. No, for now I have to live with her the, as Harper puts it, 'babe'. She is not a part of me. I refuse to acknowledge her 'commands'. I have to live with her.
For now.
End entry one.
