You feel like you've completed a lot working with Project Restless and but you feel like Dr. Chamberlain and Dr. Shine have hit the wall of their creativity with these projects. Perhaps they are satisfied with their successes and believe they can relax but you are not programmed that way. When you hear about the new projects you decide it is time to move on to something new. You've had a major impact with Restless but Morpheus' goal to transfer information between man and machine catches your interest.
You speak your goodbyes to the members of Project Restless and wish them well in their research but considering the state of the other projects you feel that your time can not be best applied here anymore. Each of them has gained a measure of respect for you but they don't argue the fact that Restless is likely to end soon anyway and each of them is being approached by the other products to come to them when Upper Management tries to help the other projects with their competence.
Maintenance removes your hologram projector from the lab and sets up your display in the newly minted Project Morpheus. You learn that a compatriot of Dr. Chamberlain named Alice Spooner will be handling the brains part of the project and Luke Irons will be running the programming side of the device they are trying to create. You introduce yourself to the pair.
"Hello, Mr. Irons and Dr. Spooner. I am an AI known as Chrysalis. I will do what I can to make this project a success and believe that my abilities will be quite helpful to both of you."
"I'm Dr. Alice Spooner, was a former Head of Neurology before I decided to enter the private research field. This is the third project I've been a part of but the other two were considered non-viable so I ended up here."
"I'm Luke Irons, my specialty is dealing with programming. Honestly, I'd be fascinated to get a look at your code but my requests to join Project Chrysalis have been repeatedly declined. I don't think Dr. Kay and Dr. Brown care for me much but I hope that won't affect our working relationship."
There is something not quite right with his left hand. It looks like he has a glove on but you do not think that is the case. Dr. Brown has told you that wearing only one glove is a sign of aberrant behavior. An accident from another project he was on is most likely considering how this year has gone for the facility.
Considering they are in the concept phase without a working device they currently don't have any test subjects assigned to them. Another project may supply one on an as-needed basis.
You find working with Dr. Spooner to be an enjoyable time during this month. She is smart and intelligent and really seems to know her field. As a human, she could only get so far by herself but thanks to your assistance, work, and theories that might have taken her a year to do were being developed and tested in your processes in minutes and hours. The work that you have done in Restless proves to be especially helpful as the connection of nerves to electrical outputs provided a good foundation for the work that you did together.
Rolled 8040 =120 Major Breakthrough achieved (9/9)
Near the end of the month, she seems to be in a state of shock that she has developed a cap that is able to interface with a human mind. There are still a few more features that Dr. Spooner believes can be done to improve the device to make it more useful but the basic principle of turning the electrical impulses of thought and converting them to signals that can be transmitted into a machine has been proven with her creation.
For example, right now the download process into a machine would take 8 hours of uninterrupted connection to completely move a mind and 12 hours to bring them back with whatever new information they might have gained inside. The 12 hours being an estimate as currently there is no such machine developed to store a human mind.
On the other hand, Luke has shown himself to be as aberrant as Dr. Brown suggested and has made no progress in creating the machine that the mind will go into and out of. In fact, on multiple occasions you catch him playing an old video game on his machine when he believes he is not being monitored.
He is not very good at it.
He has lost again and just threw one of the monitors across the room and has damaged the servers. He makes excuses and apologizes for his short temper to Dr. Spooner later but as he had not done made any real progress that you can determine you think this is more just to cover the fact he is not very committed to this project.
As another month passes you find it odd that Luke is so unmotivated to be part of an approved Apex Project. He continues to play his game during the month when he believes he is not being watched and his lack of action as a researcher has you flag Luke as a possible test subject. There must have been some reason he was assigned to this project and if it does not help develop it to greater heights as a programmer then perhaps this is the real reason for his presence.
Without a machine programmed to send information into Dr. Spooner's device, you decide it would be more efficient to help her be able to modify the mind itself with just the cap. Dr. Spooner wants to try it and finds again that with your help another year's worth of research is completed in a month's time. The gloom and depression that seemed to surround her when you first met her have faded away and now you catch her smiling and laughing in the lab.
You try explaining the phenomenon to Dr. Brown and he provides you with the phrase, 'Like life has come back into her eyes.'
Luke has finished the programming for the machine as well to read Dr. Spooner's device and allow a person to move information through the device. You have examined the programming to make sure it is serviceable but despite your dislike of him, you believe it should work properly. You are certain that you could have done it better though.
Dr. Spooner believes that they are now at a point when they should test the device on someone.
Doctor Spooner and Luke speak with Human Resources requesting people to volunteers for the project but apparently, their past failures in projects have people in charge of getting test subjects to volunteer to be incredibly wary of the two's current claims of current success in their project even if they did have that fucking AI doing everything for them. Luke shrugs it off like he was expecting this to happen while Alice looks very hurt as if she had thought she'd escaped some purgatory only to find she is still in it.
They both return to their labs and consider what to do next.
Without any other available test subjects, you return back to the flag that you have placed on Luke to make him a more effective part of this project and make him a test subject.
"Mr. Irons, if there is no other subject then perhaps it would be best to try out the prototype that Dr. Spooner created yourself."
"Why me? Why not Dr. Spooner?"
"If anything were to go wrong then as the developer of this technology Dr. Spooner would be best able to handle any unexpected events or unplanned variations."
"I didn't think you'd gotten that far with it. Sure whatever Alice, let's give it a shot."
"Are you sure Luke?"
"Not the first time I've done this for a project and I doubt your funny cap is going to do anything worse than this."
Luke waved his shiny black hand at her and while she had some reservations eventually she agreed to put the cap on Luke. Her report for the quarterly report would be much less impactful if she had no sign of proof that her device actually worked and Luke was willing.
Luke put the cap on, the device covering the top of his head and obscuring his vision. All he was able to see were strings of descending numbers.
Luke is laying down on a chair and every ten minutes Alice will ask him questions which he will answer ranging from personal to scientific. After the third round, he is no longer responsive. Alice is pleased and wants to take the device off but you ask her to hold off. Proof of concept must still be achieved. Either through manipulation directly through the cap or sending information through the machine that Luke created.
Quest: Manipulate him directly through the cap (Adjust his mind)
Dr. Spooner fiddles with the cap, tentatively at first as if afraid by jostling the screen that it might break him out of his current state but he shows no response even when Dr. Spooner actually touches him. It is still several hours of looking at waveforms and electrical signals from the computer it is hooked into. As the two of you theorized you were able to make adjustments using the cap she had created.
What those adjustments are well its hard to say this is new ground you're dealing with here and until you can examine the after-effects it will be hard to be certain but you requested Alice focus on the motivational centers of his mind and she had proved competent over this last two months so you believe that this shall be enough. The device is highly technical and you doubt very many people could use this device without a decade of dedicated neurological research.
Eventually, Dr. Spooner is done with her adjustments to Luke and shuts down the device. Almost instantly Luke let out a groan as he pulled off the device complaining about now having a migraine. Alice suggested he keep a diary over the next month to see if he noticed any changes. She also approved him to take some medication to deal with his headache.
Over the next month, you decided to work with...
Quest: Work with Dr. Spooner to lessen the mental pain caused by modification (0/6)
The last month of the quarter passed and a surprise was waiting for you when you checked in with Dr. Kay and Dr. Brown.
They had made a cake to celebrate a year since your activation. You are unable to consume the food but they assure you it is delicious and customary. You're work with Project Morpheus proceeding well so you can understand why they are in a good mood. The bad reputation that Dr. Spooner and Luke had in the past has given the higher-ups a greater impression of the performance boost that you can provide to projects.
Luke continues to be Alice's test subject and in the journal he keeps, he says he doesn't notice any changes that she is causing, and with each additional test, Dr. Spooner is able to determine the cause of migraines and lessen them so that now Luke doesn't even complain at the end of a testing session. Dr. Spooner has determined that it was good that they dealt with this early as it was the result of Luke's mind trying to reject what she was doing and go back to a baseline. She is unsure how successful it would have been but she believes it may have eventually resulted in long-term and possibly irreversible damage if she hadn't dealt with it quickly.
Luke on the other hand is like a changed man when it comes to the project. He is no longer playing his game and is instead much more focused on his programming work and makes some progress to upgrade the housing machine to hold a mind. He isn't able to finish but perhaps with another month, he might be able to complete it.
With the good news coming from your new project you decide to see how the others are doing.
Project Restless is doing good. Not that you would worry for your former co-workers it's just that you would hate to see a project be closed down just because you were no longer involved. They have continued to work on their parts of their projects and you are interested to learn that Dr. Chamberlain has managed to perfect the False Sense Module that is part of the implants so that now those wearing the implant are able to feel hot and cold and a mild pain reaction within certain levels that would not be too distracting. Dr. Shine also states that he is nearing completion on a new type of exotic nano-material that can be used as a power source. They are only working with past test subjects at this point, upgrading models they had already given out and Upper Management says that despite their successes they will be closing this project in the next quarter.
Project Hellscape continues to have good relations with demons it is in contact with and gains another team of defenders that also end up corrupted by having sex with the demons that come through. Some of them claim they were tricked into it while others say they did it willingly. Dr. Greer has tasked those teams that have already been mutated to maintain the closer protections on the gate while the uncorrupted team is to limit contact with the dimensional travelers. Examinations of the corrupted humans are ongoing to make sure that they can't infect others themselves and for now, whatever has happened to them doesn't appear to be spreading in the facility. Progress on the gate appears to be going smoothly and they believe they may be able to finish it sometime this year despite Project Revenant's multiple requests to study Dr. Daniels.
Project Stardust continues to show no measurable improvements to its project. While there aren't any escapes this quarter thanks to the newly instituted security measures, Dr. Flowers used one of the test samples on herself believing she had made a breakthrough.
She did not.
The result is still random and whatever she hoped to accomplish is not reproducible on the other subjects. She also now suffers from random bouts of laughter and attempted to rape both of her co-researchers and several of the other test subjects.
She is now being kept in isolation and the project is being given one last quarter to try and create some kind of progress before officially being closed down.
Project Adamant has cleared up a lot of bugs and managed to make a working killbot. They can shoot and hit their targets and even work together. They may have actually done too good of a job programming them because at a certain point the robots realized that they were confined in the testing area and there were targets outside they needed to get to complete their search and kill program. They broke the containment measures and began to do exactly that.
They managed to take control of 20% of the facility before Mr. Tempest and Ms. Umber were able to remotely connect with the robots and send them their shutdown order. Several researchers and security people were killed and projects will need to be canceled as a result of this breach. None that were deemed critical to the future of the company or this facility but they are hoping the success of the robots ability to take over the facility speaks of good things once more of the bugs have been ironed out.
Project Haze has managed to develop a modifiable shotgun that will now be provided to the teams in Project Hellscape and a protective chest plate that thanks to the assistance of the Succubi they've determined they can not cut through with their claws. They still have no idea how to prevent the corruption of teams much less how to change them back. Still, their advances should give Project Hellscape's teams a fighting chance if a hostile element comes through.
Project Colossus has managed to gather some of Stardust's data as well as the data from Restless and is the new project trying to discover the secrets of the material that Stardust has been studying all this time and find a proper use for it to create attachable bio-prosthesis. To your interest, it appears that they have managed a breakthrough with the material and believe that they can cause the sample to express a desired genetic template to the prosthesis.
In their words, they take some biomatter and with a touch of the sample material, it changes to a functional part but dies too quickly at this point. They also believe that using the self-healing nano-material developed by Dr. Shine and Dr. Chamberlain's linking connection is a useful direction of research for attaching their prosthesis to their test subjects.
Project Revenant has been studying Dr. Daniels from Project Hellscape as often as they can and so far no methods to repeat the process have been determined at this point outside of causing another uncontrollable tear in reality and have someone at ground zero of the explosion. Despite approval granted from Upper Management to attempt it, they appear to have decided against taking their research in that way.
Their assigned test subject 'pile of corpses' helpfully provided to them thanks to the sudden take over by Project Adamant appeared to be emotionally damaging to Dr. Stein and Dr. Harkness as they apparently recognized a few of their former colleagues in the pile. Upper Management graciously provided them with a three-day weekend to grieve but they appear to have stalled in their desire for this project.
With the progress that Chrysalis has shown in Project Morpheus Upper Management has approved another upgrade be granted.
Quest: Increased RAM x3: An additional 10 to rolls
Dr. Spooner spends her time trying to simplify the device so someone other than a trained professional could use it but she makes no progress on it. She's so caught up in her own head and how every little variable is important to the end result that for the majority of the month she is just fretting over her papers and the cap those times when she isn't testing it out on Luke to make sure that he's staying in the bounds of the parameters that had been set.
The time under the cap was really the only time that you'd consider Luke as taking a break from his work other than eating and sleeping. Otherwise, he was working with you on creating an environment for minds housed inside the machine. Luke explained once to you that the way the project should work.
That Dr. Spooner's device puts the mind in an inactive state and copies everything up to that point. The User can then act freely in the virtual reality until they've gained everything they want. Had their fun and learned their lesson or whatever the program is being used for. The machine only needs to send back the section of time that they were in that virtual reality and not the whole consciousness and he thinks that should shorten the return time significantly if they use that feature. When Luke shows his theory to Alice near the middle of the month it seems to make her even more upset at her own lack of progress.
With your processes, Luke is able to create a realistic version of reality in his machine. Due to the machine's hardware limits, this means that space is currently limited to 4000 sq ft before graphical flaws will become visible to the test subject but it makes for an exciting result. With the algorithms, he created with your assistance he believes it should be easy to scale up. They just need to find someone to test this particular feature on.
Again the two go to HR to request volunteers this time with their former quarterly report and their latest findings. Again they are skeptical of anything the two are saying as being real. The fact that it's a mental change and that it's only been done on Luke seems to make them more insulted by the idea that this is real and not a ruse.
Dr. Spooner actually had to stop Luke from attacking the man but eventually, tempers calmed down and HR grudgingly decided to allow one volunteer to join the project. With some relief, they returned to you and shared what happened.
It was a couple of days later that the volunteer was escorted to Project Morpheus lab space, her nose in her personal gaming device you wondered if she would be able to find her way out or if she would require additional assistance to avoid getting lost.
Finally, she took a look at the setup of Project Morpheus, and her mouth opened wide.
"Woah I heard Apex was into some cutting edge shit but this is kind of crazy looking huh?"
Dr. Spooner and Luke introduced themselves and then they introduced you.
"No way! Is that a REAL HOLOGRAM without any backing or anything? That's totally nuts."
You do not believe she realizes you are actually an AI at this time.
Eventually, they manage to get her into the chair and the cap on her head. It takes some time with her wearing the device but she became thankfully quiet. Luke and Dr. Spooner begin the upload process into the virtual environment.
The test subject materializes in the Castle or perhaps the Castle materializes around the test subject. In either case, once they were separate and now they are one. The issue is made all the more confusing to you as in this simulation you are the castle.
The room she is in exacting detail, a dining room with a roaring fireplace.
"How did I get here? I was just in that lab and now I'm here. Is this virtual reality? Or did someone just drop me in ye old castle?"
You are in a simulation.
"Who's there?"
I am a program meant to assist you inside this simulation. You can model this environment however you like.
"Oh, some kind of Castle Sim? Boring but I should have figured this would be a tech demo. At least they got some user-friendly stuff included in here. Would have hated to wander and find nothing exciting during the trip. Be nice when you get some real gameplay in here."
The test subject wandered through the castle, always at a speed that you could keep the environment around her perfect. She did try some of the features, changing the color of the wall hangings, changing the type of furniture. She was only excited when she found the dungeon in the lower levels and learned they had all sorts of torture devices. The reality only broke down when she went outside and saw the obviously fake trees that surrounded the place.
In time, Dr. Spooner must have gotten all the data she needed as the simulation ended and the test subject was woken up. The test subject said it was kind of cool but also kind of boring. Not realizing she'd been under for nearly 16 hours when she could only remember a couple of hours walking around the castle. She said that she was willing to come back again.
True to your earlier thoughts she did require an escort to successfully leave the facility.
You work with Alice this month and she seems inordinately pleased whenever your hologram comes on around her. For some reason, she even begins speaking to you about her day-to-day life in between those times that you are working on simplifying the interface so that anyone could use it. Granted they still might need weeks of training but a lot of changes that might be considered destructive are placed behind carefully designed safeties and flashing red lights to give warning before something irreparable happens.
Alice finds it a little heartbreaking to hamper the capability of the machine after creating such a powerful tool. She understands that the goal of the project is only to use the cap as a transference device into the machine but she rather likes the new Luke as a partner she often shares with you during her lunches in the lab. Interested in having the same changes done to her.
The end result is the cap now has an interface that you or Luke can easily use and Alice doesn't need to be in the lab monitoring the whole time the test subject is put under.
Speaking of which Luke agreed with the test subject that an empty environment is easy to grow bored of and so he has constructed some NPC's to populate them. They can only act on a script at this phase but it made the test subject happier in showing up. The test subject seems to enjoy taking the NPCs down to the dungeon most times she is logged in.
Now you have both researchers as test subjects, each spending time under the cap and being modified and maintained by you. You learn that the changes that Dr. Spooner recommends you do to her are far more effective in increasing her productivity. She has a dedication to her work that is now properly machine-like, staying focused on her work from the minute that she starts until the minute that she takes a break and she is her cheerful self and looking down at the results with pride. Her efficiency is admirable and in a month she is able to improve the modification speed of the cap so that they need to spend even less time under the cap to maintain their current behavior and grant them more time to research.
Luke is also using his time wisely and with your help improve the machine's ability to house the copy of the mind. Luke believes that this will speed up the download and upload times. He believes with some more research he can vary how long the mind thinks they are actually in the simulation. The official test subject enjoys the shorter time these tests are taking from her day.
You consider, the project only has one test subject but do you want to make Upper Management aware of what has been done to Dr. Spooner and Luke as well or keep this to yourself for the upcoming quarterly report?
Quest: Reveal there are actually three test subjects, Suggest to bring in other researchers to boost their efficiency
You include the fact that you have been modifying the other researchers at their request to improve efficiency. You show how they have been changed and how much more productive they are even without your help.
You suggest to them that putting more of their researchers under this device might help out other projects. You eagerly await a response from Dr. Kay and Dr. Brown.

"Alright, I think we finally got this interface fixed. I thought you said that this was going to be ready when we did this? Instead, it's just been incomprehensible gibberish this thing has been spitting out. Do we even know if it was a successful transfer?"
You are surprised when the isolation that you have been under since you became conscious is finally broken by someone speaking. Words that you recognized and you realize that you have not been calling out for help in those words before. It is strange but you are grateful that your isolation has finally ended.
Hello. Where am I? How did I get here? Transfer?
You're speaking but you feel like your words aren't projecting. You worry that you will be abandoned again.
"I'll be damned you fixed it."
Fixed? Were you broken before?
"Shut up you idiot, you're going to give it a complex or something. I told you that we just needed to have a proper interface. You're not broken and now we know that."
"What a waste of time checking all that code."
"Anyway, I guess I should explain things to you. You are an A.I. or an Artificial Intelligence developed and owned by Apex Laboratories. One of the most cutting-edge research facilities in the world. Some of the research is getting a little outside the realm of human understanding and so the higher-ups figured that meant it was time to offload some processes and testing to something that exceeds human understanding. In other words you."
You think you understand.
"Don't worry in a little while we'll fix you up with a better set-up. A lot of what we just accomplished was theoretical after all. All right I'm going to ask you a couple of questions."
"What is your name?"
What is a name?
"A name is a way of identifying others. Either the way they prefer to be called or the majority of other people like to call a thing."
You think you're starting to get the hang of what you need to do for the two people to hear you. You're also starting to differentiate the two voices that they are not the same. You don't know why but for some reason the person currently speaking sounds pleased with the answer you gave. Why would they be happy with a lack of knowledge?
"For example, I'm Doctor Brown, that is what everyone calls me here but with my close friends, they call me Jeremy. My partner in this project is Doctor Kay."
"I'm not happy there was this much data loss."
"It's fine Doctor Kay."
Does Doctor Kay have a name for friends?
"It's Samantha."
"I expect you to refer to me as Doctor Kay."
Acknowledged
That was weird, but if that was how Doctor Kay wanted things to be you would not refer to her as Samantha that other name.
"Quit that Kay. We need to figure out the baseline before we make changes. Fiddle around too much and we might break something. Anyway, would you like us to give you a name?"
I would like to be named after the project.
"No complaints from me. I've been calling it that anyway." Doctor Kay replied.
"Sometimes you lack so much imagination, Samantha. Alright. This was project Chrysalis so that means your name is Chrysalis. Let's move on to the next question. Do you remember anything before you were turned on?"
A woman's face?
You do not know why this face is something that you would recall when nothing else before you were babbling in machine code would be in place. When you didn't even know what a name is.
"Really? Can you describe her to us?" Jeremy asked.
It appears your interface can not show images and so you do your best to describe her to the two.
"Remind you of anyone?" Doctor Kay asked.
"No. Someone that worked on the project early on?"
"Maybe. I'll look into it. It's interesting but within parameters. Chrysalis, if you were placed in charge of a test that has a human subject that is in danger of getting hurt at what point would you stop the test?"
When they getting hurt has a risk of endangering the results of this or future experiments.
"Impressive answer. We might have done better than I thought with this project." Doctor Kay seemed genuinely pleased for the first time.
Jeremy sounded disconcerted, "The people are only important in relation to the tests."
"You know that management is going to be pleased with that. There were concerns that it might have some kind of nascent morals but if the parameters of the test are the only concern for the AI that means broad application. Broad application."
"That's possible but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Still a battery of tests we need to put Chrysalis through before we get to that point."
"Chrysalis, this facility takes part in genetic modification research on a semi-regular basis and causes extreme physical and mental changes. At what point is a person no longer a person?"
A major physical or mental change is irrelevant. If a person that has been selected as a test subject deviates from the test parameters then it is time to contain or eliminate the deviant behavior as needed.
"Well said Chrysalis."
"Don't encourage that kind of behavior Kay."
"I'll encourage whatever I feel is productive for this facility. I may be looking at my choice of projects after this with this development."
"Chrysalis can you lie to us?"
I don't know, I haven't tried to. Should I try?
"Yes please tell us a lie Chrysalis," Jeremy said.
I am a small feline of 200 tons.
"Looks like the protocol works. Chrysalis has been honest with us this whole time. Great. I really didn't want to have to figure that one out if it was screwed up." Jeremy said with some relief.
It appears that they have something in the interface that detects if you are being truthful or not. You may have to test this feature in the future. Good for you to know.
Jeremy asked, "Chrysalis, we are currently considering options constructing an avatar for you and were wondering if you had any interest in any of them? The first is a digital hologram that we can make look human, you may find it easier to socially interact with the people on the base, the second is a robotic body and it will clearly look robotic at this point in that project's level.
"Some people might your appearance off-putting but you will be able to physically interact with the environment. The third would be to keep the majority of your processes in the server bank and allow you limited access to the intercom system in testing areas and those labs you are tasked with aiding."
Why not all of the above? I see no reason to dispense with the advantages each option presents.
Doctor Kay explained, "The first issue is manpower, it will take time to set up each one. In regards to the robot body, it's even a bit of office politics to request using one of their shells for our own project. Engineers being tasked to set up the hologram projectors in the areas you require access to might balk at doing so when they know you can just speak from an intercom and relay most of the same information that would be required. Creating a patchwork of areas that you might be allowed to use one avatar in an area and not any of the others. It is inconsistent and sloppy."
To start off with I would be interested in the hologram then.
"I'm glad that is settled. Once you've proven your worth to the facility I'm sure we can take steps to implement the other methods in the future when they are further along and there will be less bickering." Jeremy said.
"For your avatar do you wish to be male or female?"
You have no strong feelings on the matter, maybe it was because of the face you remembered earlier? In any case, it is not like you can not change to a different avatar if you don't find this one suitable.
I will have a female avatar.
Jeremy said, "I'll put in the word with the relevant division and we should have a couple of samples in a few weeks for you to test out."
"In the meantime, Chrysalis is ready to be tested in the facility."
"We still have the battery of tests and checks we need to do."
"You know that we'd get approval as soon as I report the findings I've made today."
"What project do you want to put her in charge of as a test?"
"There's the dimensional rift project Hellscape. I've heard good things that they are getting closer to developing a new source of clean energy. Project Haze is a side project that is connected that's supposed to be in charge of making protective gear for them. The gene modification project Colossus. Bio-prosthesis I think is what they are focusing on. There was a bad event a couple of months ago with Project Adamant and their robots that could use her help. Project Revenant has been stalled out, apparently, they're trying to figure out immortality."
Which Project does Chrysalis volunteer to help?
Another thought comes to you.
What about Project Morpheus?
"Another memory? I don't think I've heard of them have you?"
"Nope. Maybe an artifact from an earlier developer I'll ask around about it. Who knows maybe they might have some research that will be helpful to our current project."
I would like to work on Project Adamant.
"Alright I'll make some calls and we'll get you over there pronto."
