Demons and Wizards – Chapter 2
TAPTAPTAP, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz. TAPTAP bzzz, bzzz,
The noises of the workstation echoed throughout the three story room, with organic parts and large computer stations in it.
"Ok, now set root directory as device hard drive master C, and we should be all set," the figure at the workstation stood up, and walked over to the other console with a screen, typed a few things and then got a text output:
GEnesis of NoN-Artificial Intelligence: Awaiting query.
(luciemon(at)GENNAI#):
"Good, lets try this" he said and began to type, "State your name."
GENNAI
"'What is your purpose?"
To aide the agents on the GENNAI project in creating a biomechanical computer capable of processing thought and sentience.
Then, he tested it, "How do you feel, GENNAI?" seeing if he had truly accomplished his task.
Cold, may I turn up the heat?
"No, you will warm up eventually. The cooling is to prevent you from overheating." Good, he thought, it thinks for itself. "You have a new purpose, to aide those in the DW Corporation repel the demon invasion of this world, is that clear?"
Yes.
"Hey, Takeru wake up!" Takeru suddenly became aware of his surroundings, and realized he was seeing things. He would have to make a note to talk to Joyu about these hallucinations later. He had started having them randomly at his 18th birthday and they were becoming more frequent in the past two years.
"Sorry Yama, just thinking," Takeru replied.
"Whatever," his brother responded.
Takeru and Yamato stood in front of a large grey, metal door, with a symbol depicting the small, rectangle-like shaped device they each had at their side: an issue to all agents in this war, a digivice. They were the key to getting anywhere you were allowed access to in the building, except in the upper stories where you needed to swipe an ID card, but that was because the school for potential agents was there, and many of the children didn't know they sat atop the largest concentration of technology in all of Japan. Both boys raised their digivices, and the door seemed to phase out of existence until they walked through where it had been, and then it reappeared.
They were in a long cement hallway with dull, florescent lights. Yamato hated this hallway, and wondered why he didn't come down the elevator more often, when he got to a second door. This door, however, slid apart into four segments before allowing them access.
They entered a pure white room, with a desk infront of them and two hallways on either side (A/n: kind of like a hospital) The girl at the dek had pink hair, and looked up when she realized they were there, "Yamato, Takeru, GENNAI would like to see you, and after that please report to Basement Level 3 for debriefing," she replied, and handed them each a folder.
"Thanks Mimi, we'll take care of it," they said, and walked to the right hallway and straight ahead. Takeru noticed one of the rooms on the right had been relabeled "Ishida, Y" on the second row, and remained "Yagami, T" in the first row.
They got to a set of intimidating metal doors with a lock like the blast doors on them, again, they opened it and walked in.
In the room there was a table with six chairs at it, and a projector on the table pointing at a blank wall, a speaker in every corner of the room, and microphones hanging from the ceiling. The only light came from the projector and small lamps on the table at each chair.
"Computer, activate GENNAI," Takeru said, as he and Yamato took a seat.
"Greetings boys," an booming, yet old and gentle voice said form the speakers as the projector placed the body of a badly animated old man on the wall, "Yamato, a level 10 demon with an aura, you said it was?" GENNAI got down to business, conversation would come later.
"Yes sir, it required a warning shot of silver bullets to dispel after we forced him to reveal his true form. The target was terminated, as we were unable to force him into a gate," Yamato said, precisely and quickly.
"That is sometimes unavoidable Yamato. However, its not everybody who can aim correctly to take down an arch demon. I have reviewed your performance, and decided to promote you to the rank of Commander. This gives you privilege to share private quarters with another officer of your personal choosing, as well as level 5 security clearance. And, as requested by both of you previously, you are sharing quarters with Lieutenant Yamagi," GENNAI turned to me, "You, Takeru, because of policy, I have to promote to Lieutenant, Giving you Level 3 security clearance and the proper trust to train a new recruit, which both of you will be doing. We will wait here until they arrive, they're being briefed by Mimi right now, so we have some time,"
"GENNAI, tell me about your first memory," Takeru asked, recalling what he had seen, and wanted to know if it was true or not.
"My first memory? Well, lets see, I was only a text console then. My first memory would have to be being asked how I felt, and then having my mission statement redefined. Why do you ask that?" GENNAI seemed to raise an eyebrow at the end of this reply.
"No reason, just curious. I was just thinking about how old you are, and didn't know if you remembered the first time you came online," Takeru felt weird now, GENNAI might be able to explain this phenomenon but he would rather still see Joyu.
"GENNAI, how were our parents slected for this assignment?" Yamato asked, "Were they selected by the government, or did they go to the school and get lucky?"
"Your parents were hand-picked by Luceimon himself. He called them the Witch and the Wizard, as this was before the formalized code names. He never explained why, but they seemed to have no problem with them. Of course, later they were changed to Centarumon and Andromon, but many agents would still use their old names on missions."
BEEP-BOOP
The door opened, revealing two boys, one with red hair, a vest a blue shirt, shorts, and goggles on, and another one who was shorter, and had brown hair, pants, and a long-sleeved shirt on.
"Hi, I'm Daisuke," the taller boy said, he smiled and looked at the wall and the brothers, "I'm Taicihi's cousin, and this is Iori, he's my friend, but a bit shy," he said, indicating the shorter boy, who bowed, before they walked in far enough for the door to close. They both took a seat on either side of Takeru and Yamato, who introduced themselves.
"Daisuke, Iori, welcome. I trust Mimi has informed you of your codenames?" GENNAI said, looking at the other boys.
"Yes, GENNAI, and I would like to add it is a pleasure to meet you, I was skeptical when I heard about a sentient computer, but now I guess I'm wrong." Iori said.
"Well, Yamato, you and Iori are dismissed, and are excused form debriefing. Begin training your new recruit after you stop by Mimi to get you new rank pins." Yamato and Iori both stood up, and bowed before leaving.
"Daisuke and Takeru, I have a covert ops mission for you to do once Daiskue is properly acquainted with procedures. The reason I trust a covert ops mission to a trainee, is because of not only being related to Taichi, but because of how you fared in the battle simulations at the academy. Also, because you've been living in your parents old quarters, instead of reallocating them to somebody else, Takeru, you will be sharing them with Daisuke. Daisuke, it's a privilege to be immediately given senior officers quarters, and Takeru, as a junior officer consider yourself lucky you may retain them without living with a senior officer. Now, any questions?" GENNAI finished.
"Yeah, when do I get to eat?" Daisuke asked, and Takeru's face fell down on the table while GENNAI's avatar seemed to facefault. Later they would learn this was typical Daisuke.
"Hikari-san, go to bed," a purple haired girl said, to her room mate in the room which had until recently been one of a very messy boy.
"I can't Miyako, my brother left this room a mess. God, I can't believe they let him live here, its got to be a bio hazard," A brown hair girl said, coming out of the closet holding a green sandwich, "Ok, I think that's the last of the old food, I'll have the cleaning staff at the University take care of the mold. Miyako, you should be happy, not upset. Do you realize you're getting your training to fight those abominations from a founding member of the GENNAI project, who later went on to contribute to the triad that lead DW until five years ago when the third member disappeared?"
"Hikari, I don't really care. I don't like him and that's that. HE keeps looking at me funny, like there is something about him. And besides, your brother is training you, how come you're so happy?" the purple hair girl spat back.
"Because, my brother may be a loudmouth and a slob but I've seen him in combat with demons and played Risk against him, that's why he's already a triad, consultant even though he's not even a sergeant yet," she finished, before putting the trash outside the door, turning off the lights then stripping down and climbing into bed, "Besides, one usually works better with somebody they completely trust. Goodnight Miyako, don't have a panic attack in your sleep.
Whatever the older girl's reply was, Hikari didn't hear it, because she had started to dream, but it did not feel like a dream, it felt real.
Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzz..z..z...z...z...
"Thank god I can shut that thing off," a voice said, the silhouette had a scarf around his neck and jet black hair with glasses. He moved a giant old spool printer and hooked up a newer printer, still using a spool but more white. He turned it on.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
"I t could always be worse Mich, always worse," he said, as he went over to the console the printer was hooked up to.
Genesis Enhanced NoN-Artificial Intelligence: Running in animated mode, debug output below.
Currently Inactive
"Bah, they changed the acronym. Oh well, I have work to do," he said, and began typing things. After about a minute of typing the printer stopped.
"Ok, all set. Holo-emitters in place, new front-end loaded, it's finally detecting the other processors Koushirou had been trying to install," he looked around, there were less organic components lying around then he left, but there were weird animals in the large glass tubes. They were labeled to, apparently they were animals digitized and subjected to code in their brains that was based off of the original GENNAI code, "Computer, run GENNAI2 with parameters –h and –d."
The printer began printing again, and a figure about 6 feet tall with red hair materialized. Right then, however, the door opened and the figure's eyes suddenly opened wide as he saw who came in.
"So, you're the reason why GENNAI was offline. How did you get in here?" A redheaded boy asked the one at the console.
"I'm offended you don't recognize me Kou-chan. I was just perfecting my creation," the boy at the computer stood up, and he seemed to change his clothes, but there wasn't enough light to see anything, except his hair had become a pure silver color instead of the jet black it was. He leaned the red-head up against the wall, and pinned him there with one hand, "You should thank me, I replaced your printer and finished reprogramming GENNAI's program to use the holo-emmiters. GENNAI, activate.
The figure that appeared earlier suddenly was animated, "Why did you come back? And what did you do to me?"
"GENNAI, I merely fixed you. Now, you should go while I take care of business with Kou-chan," the mysterious silver-haired boy replied and the figure disappeared, "Now, Kou-chan, we will discuss why I have come here, and we will discuss why you are using my code to create your own abominations."
"TAICHI!" Hikari shot up, awake, knowing exactly what happened, Miyako, sat straight up and screamed too, but something not terribly appropriate.
"Miyako, I'm going to see Koushiro and Joyu, I need to talk to them, don't tell anybody but Taichi, call his room and have him meet me down there.
"Fine," Miyko said, as she went to the phone.
A boy stood in the forest with jet-black hair, a scarf, glasses, a blue hooded sweatshirt on, and jeans. He was starring at an opening gate, one that would soon be detected and sealed by DW, but not after they saw him fight what came out of it. He would get back into his home, and when he did, he would finish the projects he left unfinished.
A/n: ok, long tedious chapter, I apologize. Flash backs and flash forwards are really to show you things in parts, this chapter was more on the future and past of GENNAI, another chapter will focus on Agent Luceimon, who will play a big part in the story, and another chapter will focus on why some people are Agents and others aren't, it also explains the Yagami parents code names. Anyways, back to work on Complete Reasoning,
edit: soem of my formatting for the GENNAI console was removed when uploaded the fic, so bear with me.
