Disclaimer: I do not own any Ghost in the Shell. That is proudly owned by Shirow Masamune. This goes for both the original and Stand Alone Complex. Nor do I own any characters created by the Wachowski Brothers. However, I do own this piece of drivel, two whole chapters in fact. Who knew my sense of humor was this extensive.

The Secret Diary of Motoko
Chapter 2:
(I'm thinking about switching to ASCII characters, just to be difficult.)
If you are reading this, I've already hacked your mind and you're now trapped forever in this world of sliding thoughts. God have mercy on your Soul.
Entry 11:
This
"Mouse" character is very irritating. Thought I'd had enough
of him with my last encounter with his alternate mainframe reality
setup. Today he actually went so far as to try and make me believe I
was in a world made up of only various shades of green. Really, and
that so DOES NOT match my outfit. I'm thinking about telling the
Chief about this idiot so we can take him out before he becomes a
threat to lesser minds' sanity.
Entry 12:
Today was
NOT fun. Exciting, stimulating, somewhat arousing in fact, but NOT
fun. I spent the day chasing the same guy through a bunch of
hallways. Everywhere I turned, the SOB was somewhere else. To make
matters worse, my two colleagues were telling me they had the same
guy. When we put them together, we had 8 different people, I had
captured four. Turns out they were all wearing really bad masks.
Clones, I could understand. But after the Jarti case, we had closed
all known cloning facilities. Here we are running around and
thinking we're uncovering another conspiracy, and it's a damned
copycat crime, done to try and elicit publicity. I went CyberCafe'
surfing on the way back and let me just say that tomorrow night I
won't be putting any entries in THIS journal.
Entry 13:
Who says
13 is an unlucky number? I wasn't. It was great! Lots of mental
stuff, cyber stuff, and some physical stuff. So, why is my Ghost
whispering to me suddenly?
Entry 14:
Ghost,
shmost. Well, I'd say that if I didn't actually like my human
half. We played ball for a few minutes, it went back to sleep. I'm
going to have to take some serious down-time and work on appeasing
that part of me. It's becoming unruly. It actually spoke up
during a meeting with the team. Aramaki realized what was happening
and cut it off. It's one thing for me to talk with it, but my
inner, inner soul DOES NOT need to go out for a little teatime.
Entry 15:
Ko is a
wonderful partner, again, at work. Not at home. I had a meeting
this evening at a friend's house. Ko showed up and whined to be
let in. Dogs whine, Tachikomas should wait patiently at the curb for
me to get finished with my personal business. Talk about killing the
mood!
Entry 16:
Found out
what the game is with this Mouse person. He's actually the puppet
of a more nefarious plot. Apparently he's been duped into thinking
he lives in a world run by computers. Well…he does, but completely
by…oh nevermind! He thinks computers are bad, that they control us
instead of us controlling them. Now, how does that go again, we
control computers, computers…to hell with it. He thinks we're
hard-wired into the system, being used as batteries. Batteries, HA,
does he know how much power I consume in a day? We're batteries!?!
That's where his theory fails.
Entry 17:
Traced
Mouse to some abandoned warehouse. Inside we found 5 or 6 people all
zoned out, jerking around and flailing body parts everywhere. I
jacked one just in time to watch her see herself die. I had to do a
hard boot in order to get her back. I hate those. I guess we'll
be visiting them at the sanitarium next week to arraign a hearing.
Mouse was…well, like his name. Short, squeaky, and beady little
optic implants. Has a thing for redheads, pity. They can be so
tempermental.
Entry 18:
Togusa let
me drive today. Wick…er…very wonderful! We outran the police,
which pissed them off. Oh well. He then took me for hotdogs. Much
better than fries. He ate four, with chili and onions. I put him in
the trunk for the ride home.
Entry 19:
So I
walked into work today, Aramaki was nowhere to be found. In fact
everyone was gone. I sat and drifted through chat channels and
waited to hear something. When I finally made contact, it was to
hear them being attacked by terrorists outside the building. I go
flying out of my office, by way of the window, to learn that Togusa
had set up this prank to get even for the trunk incident. I'd
admit we were even, but I stuffed him in the trunk for a GOOD reason.
When I explained this to the guys, they howled, smacked him on the
back, and told me to quit being so girly. I'm officially offended.
Entry 20:
I stayed
zoned all day. Didn't respond to a single stray thought from my
team. Well, only one, when I had to go save Batou from some
gun-slinging Laughing Man copycat. "Too Girly my ASS!" Then I
zoned back out when he tried to thank me. I'm macho, I don't
need thanks. I then went home and got me some, after I locked Ko in
the compound facility for the evening. Go me.
