It can range from just a matter of preference for yourself, to how things should be done to benefit the most people, to even an ethical & moral standing. They'll oppose it if it doesn't feel like the right thing to them.

There's a rumor that I've heard that this sphere was called a mind sphere. It was used to help with forgotten memories, to help someone to express their point of view when they didn't know the words to describe the view, and other stuff lost in time. But like I said, it might be just a rumor."

"OH SWEET LUNA, that is good hell yes." As she bit into her other ear, just breathing again as she tore into her other ear the pain was intense but that is what she wanted biting for her was just amazing and it was really not pain she felt. "I know so." Emerald pointed to her other ear the wounds were half to a third of the size and shrinking as they talked.

Marcus continued patrolling the halls as his job required but like most guard jobs if you had nobody to talk to then you became bored quickly. He spotted one of the ponies he encountered earlier in her office apparently semi lazily grading papers the plaque next to the door said 'Professor Bee' shrugging he knocked on the door and awaited a response. 

[captainborgue 343]

VLAD had barely finished scanning the holo-imaging system when a knock came at the door. Thus posed a conundrum: he could give Bee access to vocal processors, but not to neuro muscular control, as the diagnostics weren't completed yet. Or, he could pause the diagnostic, let Bee handle whatever was going on, and resume it afterwards- but that ran the risk that there was a fault as yet undiscovered by the diagnostic scan.

 

Deciding to err on the side of caution, VLAD turned over vocals and hold-imaging to Bee so he could proceed with the scans. As soon as she was in control, Bee projected a hologram image of herself on the desk: she could talk through it while her physical body remained offline for the duration of the scans.

 

"Come in," her holographic self said. It was a remarkable likeness of her before the incident, and not to toot her own horn, but she was damn attractive back then.

 

The voice activated door actuators released and the door slid open with sift whoosh, revealing one of the guards from earlier today. "Hello, again. Pardon my hologram, VLAD is running a systems check so my body is indisposed for a bit. I hope you don't need anything signed," Bee said, chuckling.

"Well, sharing your memories within a certain matter could prove to your critics that you know what you're really talking about. But even then just because you know what your talking about, that doesn't mean others will agree. How they were raised, the values they taught themselves, their own experiences which they'd probably share.  The best I could see something like that doing in such circumstances, would either to be to change the mind of one who's on the fence, or just end an argument, both sides knowing their at an impasse.

Angel began to suckle on Emeralds ear, tasting more of the blood that seeped through. And speaking of blood, all of her's was now rushing to her head. She broke the hold. "Y'know what, screw this!" She pulled herself up to the crossbar by her tail, grabbing onto the bar with her hindlegs. She started undoing the knot her tail was in aroudn the bar.  With her tail now free, she swung herself a little towards Emerald. And then let go, purposely crashing on top of her. Angel steadied herself, becoming dizzy with the sudden shift in orientation. She pinned down Emerald with a forehoof on her muzzle. She approached the ear she was on last. She licked it of it's fresh blood, before chomping down on it at it's base. She began to tug away at it, more and more.

The onyx Alicorn bot in the chamber was getting a signal from somewhere. Within the vicinity lay a compatible pierce of her tech, one that was transmitting to her now. One with an audio jack. Most likely, her previous containment. The signal was not coming in clearly. She rapidly adjusted her transceiver and boosted her signal strength. Something came in clearly. 
 

"Relax. She's locked in the testing chamber. That place doubles as a bomb shelter. Reinforced concrete walls. 4 hoof thick steel blast doors. Not even dragons could get though it. And believe me, Sir Spike sought to that. And if she does try, we have a kill switch program installed with the AI transfer that'll shut her down. Though with any luck, it won't come down to that."

Nope. "I"m not comfortable with sharing that."

"Ugh, definitely don't want to share all of that." "University Of Geneva, in collaboration w/ Universities of Hellsinki, Stolkholm, Stuttgart, Vienna & Paris." 
 
"Wow. So you a really important project then?" "I guess you can say that. My programming and initial models started there but I was upgraded in Equestria."

"This sort of thing isn't typical here. At least, it didn't used to be. Things have seemed to... degrade somewhat," Bee added. "I suspect there is a cause for it, either in some kind of malware or early stage rampancy. Hence the self scans- have to make sure I'm not affected. Which reminds me... I'm sure you've seen more suspicious activity than I have. If there is some kind of bug going around, then droids and cyber-enhanced students will be susceptible and may be acting out. Given that staff seems to be either oblivious, willfully ignorant, or apathetic to unusual student behavior, I see no point in alerting them to anything out of the ordinary that happens. I myself have been keeping a log of sorts, recording weird stuff that happens and trying to see if there's  pattern. So if you've got any weirdnesses to add, I'd be happy to put them down.
