We've made lots of jokes and omakes about Motoko's guns having feelings and thoughts, but could she legit install AI programs into her weapons after studying how Skippy works? Would it be limited to smart weapons since they are the most technologically advanced and have the best platforms to hold AIs? Maybe make it so the Tachikomas' AI and hitch a ride in weapons and assist?


Yeeeees, Neko-chan shall rise and BECOME CANON!


As funny as Skippy was, he isn't an AI. AI in Cyberpunk need a lot of server space. It's the same reason Brendan isn't an AI. BUT that doesn't mean their programming isn't REALLY impressive. Brendan is definitely worth getting a copy of just for how compact the program would have to be to run on a SCSM.


Definitely not happening anytime soon, but in the long run I like the idea of Motoko becoming so good at creating new VI's and AI's that she begins to run out of suitable "shells" to keep them in so she gets creative and begins inserting all her "ghost-children" into her weapons, her Quadra, and even in her apartment for lack of options.


*Jun is tired and sleepy as he walks to the kitchen after a rough night. He groggily opens the fridge*

Jun: "...Damnit. Empty again...gonna need to buy more burritos..."

Fridge-chan: *Maternal tone* "Oh no you don't Jun-chan! Creator-Mother was very clear that you need to eat a more balanced diet!"

Jun: *Rolls eyes* "...Yeah no, I refuse to be lectured by my damn fridge. I don't care how motherly my sister programmed you to be. This is not a thing I'm going to accept today. Nuh-uh."

Fridge-chan: *Door shuts closed by itself* "Yes-uh! Your sister already prepared a breakfast for you filled with locally produced hydro-fruit and synth-eggs on the counter. It will make you big and strong young man!"

Jun: *In disbelief* "...Are you serious right now? Really?"

Microwave-kun: *With a deep masculine voice* "Kid, just eat the damn meal your sis made. You could stand to lose a few pounds anyway and, as much as I like you staring into my handsome metal mesh all night long, you would be better off eating more fresh food."

Jun: "Has my life really gotten the point where I'm being parented by my fucking fridge and microwave?"

Blender-chan: *Squeaky voice* "Don't forget me Creator-Uncle! I'm always here to lecture you too when you need it!"

Jun: *Awkwardly pats the blender on the lid which makes it purr in delight* "That you do…blender…kun?"

Blender-chan: "Chan! It's Blender-chan!"

Jun: *Confused* "...Does it really matter that much?"

Blender-chan: "How could you be so insensitive!? Chan sounds so much cuter than kun! Hmph!"

Jun: *Left eye twitches in agitation* "Sure whatever. Well guys, it's been great but I think I'm going to the bathroom to freshen up…"

Fridge-chan: "But Jun-chan, you didn't eat anything?"

Jun: "That's a problem for future Jun. See yah."

*Jun walks towards the bathroom and tries to ignore how all the appliances and furniture in the living room seem to 'wake up' and follow his every footstep - even the TV briefly turns on to show a single large eye that winks at him before turning itself off again. Creepy!*

Jun: "...Yep, definitely going to have a talk with Toko about this in the afternoon. It's like our apartment is freakin haunted or something…"

*Jun walks into the bathroom and disconcertingly notices a wide array of artificial voices apparently engaging in quiet conversation. The second he walks up to the bead curtain, all the voices stop. What the hell was his life?*

Jun: *Annoyed tone* "Can I do my normal morning stuff or do you want to talk some more amongst yourselves?"

Hamper-kun: *Hamper lid moves up and down to mimic talking* "Don't worry boss, we'll always make time for you!"

*Jun sullenly walks into the bathroom. If he ignored all the new wiring and circuitry on the wall, it's hard to tell that anything has changed. He carefully moves towards the sink as if expecting to be attacked.*

Faucet-chan: *Whiny voice* "Oh come on, I only sprayed you one time!"

Jun: "...No offense, but getting soaked because your sink was literally 'too excited' to see you isn't a normal experience…like to anyone…"

Faucet-chan: "It's only because I was so thrilled to fulfill my purpose! I promise, with enough practice I'll be the best sink you've ever had in your life!"

Jun: *Left eye twitching intensifies* "That's…wonderful to hear…"

*Jun really had to take his morning pee so he marched to the toilet…and froze in dread.*

Jun: *Horrified whisper* "Oh no…please don't tell me it's sentient as well…"

*The shower head, shower curtains, and temperature control suddenly glow with suggestive pink light. In a disturbing fashion, the shower head turns towards Jun.*

Shower-chan: *In a deep, sensual voice* "That ceramic chair isn't 'alive', but I certainly am you dirty boy~"

Jun: *Utterly stupefied* "Wait...who the hell are you?"

Shower-chan: "I'm the newest intelligence from Creator-Mother you silly piece of carbon-based flesh~. Granted, my personality matrix has…drifted a little from what Mother intended, but I only see it as a good thing - I know exactly what I want and there's only one thing I want from you~"

Jun: *Increasingly scared* "...What?"

Shower-chan: *Voice becomes downright sultry and interlaced with heavy breathing* "Hmmm…what do you think I desire...you magnificent hunk of organic meat?~"

Jun: *Completely fed up* "...Nope. I had enough! That's it! I've reached my bullshit limit for the day!"

*Angrily turns around, puts on his work clothes and he begins yelling loudly*

Jun: "Motoko! Get your inventive butt out here! Now!"

*Motoko presently emerges from another room covered in mechanical grease and holding a toolbox*

Motoko: "What's going on Jun-ni?"

Jun: *Angry rant* "I'm fucking hungry, I have to take a piss, and the shower AI or VI or whatever the shit is trying to molest me and I have had enough! These 'ghosts' of yours have to go somewhere else!"

Motoko: "..."

Jun: "..."

Motoko: *Places her toolbox on the floor and crosses her arms in consternation* "You didn't eat my special breakfast, did you? You know you get hangry when you don't have breakfast brother!"

Her Toolbox: *Annoyed whisper* "...I told you he wouldn't eat the breakfast Mother…that poor boy has been ruined by those damn burritos I swear…"

Jun: *Enraged at everything in general* "AUGHHH!"
