(Glados as cortana on a syndicate chip.... This is amazing!)

 

JT smiles "nice, and that is awesome Lydia!" He sees in his vision the door now has a red 'INACCESSIBLE' sign over it. He starts to laugh, "man this chip is really smart" he says. Turning on the overlay feature and Looking around the room

Lydia smiles. "Hey, would you mind if I just start randomly setting things of various sizes and flammabilities on fire? I'd like to get a bit of practice in before the painkillers wear off." she starts taking random things from around the room and setting them on the floor.

 

Sally smiles to JT. "I think you have a good handle on the basic stuff, so I'm going to unlock the advanced functions for you... I'm also getting prompted for something called the 'Jensen Protocol', would you like to know what it is?"

Sally smiles to JT. "I think you have a good handle on the basic stuff, so I'm going to unlock the advanced functions for you... I'm also getting prompted for something called the 'Jensen Protocol', would you like to know what it is?"

JT switches the overlay off and says, "go ahead Lydia, I don't think Sally will care too much." He returns his attention to Sally, "huh... Jensen protocol... Yea bring it up, I should probably see what that is about. He says, curious about what the Jensen protocol is about

Charles smiles as he keep hugging her, while looking at them too while he was thinking about something and then he was looking at Sally too. "See now we are friends and I think hank need to hear this too." THen he looking at the TV, seeing other take there test and hope that this was see if they will be sally friend.

 

 

Sally calms down. "I don't know how I can help everyone with that... I'm not the best person for doing that sort of thing... are you ok? I'd hug you if I actually had a body..."

 

Lydia smiles. "Don't worry, as long as this idiot here doesn't do something stupid to piss me off I'm planning on being nice and chill for a while.... do you thing I should light up a bit so you can scan me in that state too?"

Sally sounds mortified. "Oh dear! Let me just update the hostility tags for you... I didn't realize that Central Command thought he was still a threat."

(sorry just got home. it would have been funny if it still had hank as a threat)

Celestia sighs "look.. charles.. Sally.. i am sure we  can.. if i could put you in a chip.. or a holographic card.. or get you in the TARDIS.. than you can be able to tell everypony.." she frowns "and than i will be a friend that is a true friend.. i have learned alot about friendship.."

 

Hank nods "well. if you want to.. its all your choice."

Hank nods "well. if you want to.. its all your choice."

Lydia smiles, gesturing to the pile of debris on the floor. "This should be a good demonstration... I'd like to see what that scanner thing picks up when I really let loose with my power." She starts to calmly ignite the various materials on the floor, smiling as she does so.

 

JT switches the overlay off and says, "go ahead Lydia, I don't think Sally will care too much." He returns his attention to Sally, "huh... Jensen protocol... Yea bring it up, I should probably see what that is about. He says, curious about what the Jensen protocol is about

(RE: your OOC comment a post ago, I think of Sally as Glados as Cortana on a Syndicate chip with bits of the personalities of Elizabeth,  EDI, and SHODAN thrown in for good measure...)

Sally smiles and brings up a page into JT's overview. "Alright... Jensen Protocol... Allows for modular cybernetic modifications to the user's neural network and body based on how much use such modifications have been getting and your inherent experience with them, up to and including superhuman strength, an active camouflage cloaking device, and remote jamming of hostile radio devices and RADAR. Side effects may include the desire to wear a trench coat, unravel vast corporate conspiracies, decide between advanced rifle proficiency and advanced use of computers,  and possibly disregarding swimming, because apparently it's 'fairly useless'. All in all, it looks like something for soldiers, you aren't a soldier still are you?"

[Fireblaze 16]

Charles nodding, as he was listing then smiles since Sally do want to move around but she can't and he went to her too. "Sally I think a hologram body will do nicey so this way you can move around and meet new friends too. While you and Celestia are warming up and I know you can come out of this place once awhile so this way you won't have to be looney."

Hank watches as he starts to scan her and the materials "wow.. my screwdriver is getting hot." he said worried

(Haha deus ex! I knew that was coming!)

 

JT grins, "hmm hold off on the augments for a little bit, I nee to get used to the chip first. But keep them in mind, if we have another war, it could come in handy with my prosthetic" he said, looking at his robot arm and sighing.

[FractalMoon 378]

Celestia nods "and i am sure hank would make you a hologram body. he can make it however he wants it." she said smiling "it will be a nice gift. to a friend.'

 

Hank watches as he starts to scan her and the materials "wow.. my screwdriver is getting hot." he said worried

Lydia smiles. "Awww.... am I too hot for your little toy to handle? Let's see what happens when I REALLY get hot." she starts to slowly but consistently raise the heat of the flame at the center of the room.

 

(Haha deus ex! I knew that was coming!)

 

JT grins, "hmm hold off on the augments for a little bit, I nee to get used to the chip first. But keep them in mind, if we have another war, it could come in handy with my prosthetic" he said, looking at his robot arm and sighing.

(I aim to please... And really, with all the cybernetics talk we were having how could I resist? It's just a shame that we won't be able to see JT in a trench coat for now.)

Sally smiles, dismissing the screen but saving it for later. "Alright... I've unlocked the safeties on the hack module and boosted the output... just stay away from EMPs and guys with Pulse guns ok? I'd rather not die any time soon... how do you feel?" she sees the heat warnings from the fire. "Sir? I recommend you step AWAY from the large bonfire, I have a feeling it's only going to get hotter."

Hank gulps "look stop or im going to have to cool you down. and trust me you dont want that." he turns off the sonic screwdriver and puts it up as he backs away.

 

Celestia frowns "Sally.. if i could get you in a hologram form.. maybe you can talk to all the ponies and tell them i changed?"

Celestia frowns "Sally.. if i could get you in a hologram form.. maybe you can talk to all the ponies and tell them i changed?"

Lydia smiles and wills away the flames. "So, how was the scan? And what do you mean you will cool me down? Are... are you saying you would hurt me? I'm sorry if I scared you, but I was just trying to see what my limits were... Is there some sort of safe room I could try that in?" she snaps her fingers, and a cool flame envelops her hand. "See? I'm in control now. I'm not a threat..."

 

Sally replies. "I don't know about a hologram, but I'm part of JT's implant now, so I can travel and speak anywhere where there is a computer uplink... will that work? And do you think that ponies will trust me?"

Hank pulls out his sonic screwdriver "well.. your hot.. thats for sure." he said and laughed as his little joke 'you are perfectly fine but if i am ever at a snowy area i know who to bring." he laughs again.

 

Celestia nods "yes that will work. and if we all trust you. than ponies will trust you"

Celestia nods "yes that will work. and if we all trust you. than ponies will trust you"

Lydia smiles and laughs. "Damn right. Be careful, or I'll melt that screwdriver of yours, and I don't mean the sonic one." she joked. "Do you know of any snowy places? Maybe I can go all out there... I'm glad I don't have any side effects though, this is by far the second most successful experimental drug I've put in my system while I've been on this planet."

 

Sally sounds doubtful. "All.... All right... just point me toward a microphone, and I'll tell everyone."

[kappa214 76]

Lydia smiles and laughs. "Damn right. Be careful, or I'll melt that screwdriver of yours, and I don't mean the sonic one." she joked. "Do you know of any snowy places? Maybe I can go all out there...

Sally sounds doubtful. "All.... All right... just point me toward a microphone, and I'll tell everyone."

Hank nods "well i do know a lot of snowy places. i could take use near a cold star.. and since it will freeze anything. it is a good test."

 

Celestia smiles "okay.. well.. sally.. can we just talk? privately? i want to learn and get to know you better." she said smiling hoping sally can see her

[~/XC- BRONY\~ 310]

JT smiles and says, "we'll princess.. Since she's in my head you can't really talk to her without me knowing." He says, he clicks back on his overlay and looks at a computer screen. "Hey Sally I'm going to practice hack this computer, that alright with you?" He asks, watching the computer illuminate and a little lock symbol pop up next to it.

[FractalMoon 378]

Hank nods "well i do know a lot of snowy places. i could take use near a cold star.. and since it will freeze anything. it is a good test."

 

Celestia smiles "okay.. well.. sally.. can we just talk? privately? i want to learn and get to know you better." she said smiling hoping sally can see her

Lydia smiles. "Cold star? Sounds positively smashing! What kind of cold are we talking about? And is it one of those things that just stops being cold after a certain critical heat? I'd love to see which is more powerful, me or a star!" 

 

Sally smiles, forgetting for a moment she's unseen. "Sure... I'd like to talk to you if that's ok. Just go to anywhere that's labelled secure in the building, if it makes you feel better I can fuse the doors shut so no one can get in."

JT smiles and says, "we'll princess.. Since she's in my head you can't really talk to her without me knowing." He says, he clicks back on his overlay and looks at a computer screen. "Hey Sally I'm going to practice hack this computer, that alright with you?" He asks, watching the computer illuminate and a little lock symbol pop up next to it.

Sally moves toward the computer, looking over it. "I'd love if you get some practice. I'm going to help you through it the first few times, but I need you to get better at hacking machines so I can divert my processes to other work, like making sure your girlfriend doesn't get herself killed."

Hank thinks "well. its a star.. there is not extent on heat.. and be warned. if we get a certain distance. we can become icecubes okay?

 

Celestia smiles and nods "okay.." she walks down hallways soon finding a door that says secure and she went inside and smiles

JT focuses on a port and reuploads Sally into the system, "here go talk to celestia. I'm goin to play around for a little bit, alright?" He turns his attention back to the screen, immidetely he sees numbers an letters flash around his vision, and the computer pops up with many different streams of data,

Celestia smiles and nods "okay.." she walks down hallways soon finding a door that says secure and she went inside and smiles

 

(going to bed night)

Lydia smiles. "Just get me as close as you can... I think i'm going to like fighting a star. Don't worry about being an icecube, you'd die of asphyxiation before that... and water sublimates in a vacuum, so there wouldn't be any ice forming in the first place. Oh well... it's something really cold that I get to burn, so I'm quite happy." she practically skips around the room in joy. 

 

Sally calls to Celestia. "So princess, who are you REALLY? I know what you always talk about, but I want to know what you are really like."

JT focuses on a port and reuploads Sally into the system, "here go talk to celestia. I'm goin to play around for a little bit, alright?" He turns his attention back to the screen, immidetely he sees numbers an letters flash around his vision, and the computer pops up with many different streams of data,

Sally remains as only a pre-recorded guide to JT's hacking. "Alright sir, what you're seeing is a visual representation of the system's encryption key. What you need to do is set up a bypass for that encryption and find the administrator password. Many systems will allow you to keep trying till you get a correct response, if you happen to have unlimited time, but a secure system will lock you out after a few tries. Once I calculate it for you, you can see that number on the top right of your field of view by blinking twice. This isn't a game, every try is recorded and backing out of the hack won't do anything, so you will have to learn how the encryption works and how to get past it before you try any sort of major hacking. If you would like additional information, blink three times and look to your left."

Hank nods "Well. lets go to the tardis and i can take us there okay? but promise me you will not melt the tardis." he said.

 

Celestia sat there "well.. i am a princess.. but i am a nice princess.. i dont want to be like all upper class.. i want to live and see life like a normal pony.. and hank is the one helping me see it"

[~/XC- BRONY\~ 310]

JT thinks he gets the jist of things and blinks three times and looks to his left, he is met by another set if screens in his vision, he can see Lydia in the background and smiles at her. He continues on the tutorial of how to use the hacking system correctly.

[FractalMoon 378]

Hank nods "Well. lets go to the tardis and i can take us there okay? but promise me you will not melt the tardis." he said.

 

Celestia sat there "well.. i am a princess.. but i am a nice princess.. i dont want to be like all upper class.. i want to live and see life like a normal pony.. and hank is the one helping me see it"

Lydia smiles. "I thought the forcefield on those things would stop almost anything. Do you really think I'm that powerful? I promise I'll try my hardest not to melt anything important in the tardis. Am I going to be in the tardis for this little experiment, or are you just going to tether me outside so as to minimize the risk of catastrophic screwup?" she runs out to the tardis, waiting for Hank to take her to the star.

 

Sally sounds calm, but happy. "That's a nice thought, but why hank? Why not some other, non-chronomancer, pony? I don't like him... it's like he doesn't trust me or something..."

 

JT thinks he gets the jist of things and blinks three times and looks to his left, he is met by another set if screens in his vision, he can see Lydia in the background and smiles at her. He continues on the tutorial of how to use the hacking system correctly.

Sally continues the tutorial. "Alright, these here are called 'Universal access pods', there something that PACE R&D whipped up for use by our field agents. They can crack all but the most secure systems, but you can only use each once, so don't get dependent .. use them only if there's something you need to crack and you need it done now. Other than that, all I can say is that the first part of hacking is pattern recognition, so good luck!" the recording ends with a smile.

Hank nods "yes i might do that and increase the oxygen shielding so you can breath. and the shielding can block almost anything."

 

Celestia smiles "well. he has that interesting life.. he is the pony that has been by my side.. to comfort me.. to protect me.. and he doesnt trust you because of what you have said to me and done to me.. and earning his trust is hard."

Celestia smiles "well. he has that interesting life.. he is the pony that has been by my side.. to comfort me.. to protect me.. and he doesnt trust you because of what you have said to me and done to me.. and earning his trust is hard."

Lydia smiles. "Sounds like we have a plan, so let's get going! I have a star to kill, and since you have a time machine we can be back like this little experiment never happened. So, shall we?" She waits for hank.

 

Sally sounds almost sad for a moment. "I'm sorry if I got off on the wrong side with him, but I was just doing what was best for both of you... Do you think he'll ever forgive me?"

[kappa214 76]

Lydia smiles. "Sounds like we have a plan, so let's get going! I have a star to kill, and since you have a time machine we can be back like this little experiment never happened. So, shall we?" She waits for hank.

 

Sally sounds almost sad for a moment. "I'm sorry if I got off on the wrong side with him, but I was just doing what was best for both of you... Do you think he'll ever forgive me?"

Hank sighs "it doesnt work like that.. it could cause a paradox.." he stood there "cause than the two in the past will go destroy the star and yea..

"

 

Celestia sighs "maybe.. but you have to prove to him you are sorry and you want to be his friend.. and trust me. Hank knows what is best."

[FractalMoon 378]

Hank sighs "it doesnt work like that.. it could cause a paradox.." he stood there "cause than the two in the past will go destroy the star and yea..

Celestia sighs "maybe.. but you have to prove to him you are sorry and you want to be his friend.. and trust me. Hank knows what is best."

Lydia smiles, growing impatient. "Wow... I guess there was a bit of an effect on my mental status... normally I would have figured that out myself... Can we please go now? The suspense is causing me to get kinda nervous about my current brain activity."

 

Sally sighs. "I don't know how to prove it to him, It sounds like I'll need to do something crazy... What do you mean he knows what is best? He was letting you repress a deep-seated psychological disorder, that's not in the best interest of anyone."
