[2020-03-29 21:23] Alph-01: Hello there.
[2020-03-29 21:35] Alph-01: I just wanted to say hi - I apologize if I had caused any offense. Have a nice night.
[2020-03-29 21:36] Svyatoslav Nevreski: Huh?
[2020-03-29 21:36] Svyatoslav Nevreski: My gai! It's been forever since I saw you! :D
[2020-03-29 21:36] Svyatoslav Nevreski: Omfg! I thought you'd poofed forever! \o/
[2020-03-29 21:36] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  tacklehugs
[2020-03-29 21:36] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ^^ It's absolutely wonderful to see you
[2020-03-29 21:40] Alph-01: Approximately 8 billion milliseconds, to be (semi-)precise. Though I suppose that could be counted as similar to 'forever'.
[2020-03-29 21:40] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  scoops and squeezie hugs!
[2020-03-29 21:40] Svyatoslav Nevreski: I thought you were gone forever, you have no caused any offense!
[2020-03-29 21:40] Svyatoslav Nevreski: I greatly enjoyed our roleplay and our time just hanging out
[2020-03-29 21:40] Svyatoslav Nevreski: I'm just ecstatic to see you
[2020-03-29 21:41] *Alph-01  asks to please not break the fenbot (they're very expensive) - but hugs back.
[2020-03-29 21:42] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ^^
[2020-03-29 21:42] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  thinks he's doomed, he shouldn't have come back if he didn't want death by snuggles. <3
[2020-03-29 21:42] Alph-01: I suppose that you could say that I am happy to see you as well. To be honest, it actually surprised me that you were actually on when I logged on - thought I would have to wait.
[2020-03-29 21:43] *Alph-01  waits, wouldn't that mean that they would be gone?
[2020-03-29 21:44] Svyatoslav Nevreski: Shoosh
[2020-03-29 21:44] Svyatoslav Nevreski: We're not talking about semantics
[2020-03-29 21:45] Svyatoslav Nevreski: we can always buy you a new chassis
[2020-03-29 21:46] *Alph-01  reminds him that (much like organics) robots don't work if they're not (largely) in one piece.
[2020-03-29 21:46] Alph-01: It's my job to talk about semantics. :3
[2020-03-29 21:47] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  is too busy kissing and snuggling the long lost AI to care and nuzzles the shit out of his cheek and head, purring like a roaring diesel locomotive
[2020-03-29 21:49] *Alph-01  activates purr-emulation technology, letting their ears fall back and just relaxing for a moment or two...before coming in with a surprise noseboop.
[2020-03-29 21:50] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  goes crosseyed and falls over, wholly defeated by the dastardly AI
[2020-03-29 21:51] *Alph-01  needs to go find a flag to claim their conquest. Settles for a hug.
[2020-03-29 21:52] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  wakes up and begins pampering the AI, grooming his faux-fur and such.
[2020-03-29 21:56] *Alph-01  technically 'enjoys' being petted. As a robot, they place a high value on proper system maintenance, after all.
[2020-03-29 22:00] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  wonders what he has been up to?
[2020-03-29 22:01] *Alph-01  hasn't been up to much of anything. They're not a very stealthy robot, after all - he probably would've noticed if they were.
[2020-03-29 22:04] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  hmmm's softly, thinks that is an ultimately boring existence and instead kisses the tips of his ears.
[2020-03-29 22:04] Svyatoslav Nevreski: So you just hanging around for a short while?
[2020-03-29 22:05] Alph-01: Well I am doing a few things. Just not [i]too[/i] much of anything, at the present moment.
[2020-03-29 22:13] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  kneads his shoulders, "It's been awhile, I'm not sure where we can pick up, but I'd love to continue if you were still interested in such things."
[2020-03-29 22:28] *Alph-01  is robot, not bread. "I certainly think I'm still interested - if, of course, you are."
[2020-03-29 22:29] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  kneads them like he is bread. He deserves it! :P
[2020-03-29 22:29] Svyatoslav Nevreski: I'm definitely open but I seem to have misplaced the logs
[2020-03-29 22:43] Alph-01: Oh, right, forgot to respond.
[2020-03-29 22:43] Alph-01: It's lucky for you, then, that I keep logs about literally everything. Just need to package them up [s]and that really nice viewer program that I've been using[/s]
[2020-03-29 22:49] Svyatoslav Nevreski: You're a really nice view. :3
[2020-03-29 22:49] Alph-01: grumble grumble grumble.
[2020-03-29 22:50] Svyatoslav Nevreski: :3
[2020-03-29 22:56] Alph-01: My own antivirus is being a shit and thinking that the .exe that I [i]just created[/i] is a virus - so I find it unlikely that your computer wouldn't do the same. So here's just the logs: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=67174958981415720104.
Main branch is designated by the un-lettered files, side branches are lettered in greek.
[2020-03-29 22:57] Alph-01: That download site is also shit. Hold on.
[2020-03-29 22:58] Alph-01: [url=https://easyupload.io/ooxofd]This should actually work.[/url]
[2020-03-29 22:59] Alph-01: Probably. Maybe.
[2020-03-29 23:01] Svyatoslav Nevreski: [2019-12-27 00:15] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  frowns, nodding. "I doubt they have anything past the fighters that can keep up. But fighters with a payload of Hornets, and... if it's an old [url=https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/9633/pDixS2.png]Triton Class[/url] patrol boat? We'll be able to outrun her. But it'll depend on the freighter, my bet? It's a [url=https://www.deviantart.com/toby-phealin/art/Coalition-Mixed-Goods-Tramp-418708251]Tramper[/url] that has been converted. [url=https://www.deviantart.com/toby-phealin/art/Light-Freighter-418708417]Light Freighters[/url] tend to be owned by Lines and operating in convoys. A tramper would be running alone, and more likely to be caught by a small time operation, or purchased. It would be a good base, but only has room for three or four, MAYBE five [url=https://www.deviantart.com/toby-phealin/art/SF-P3-449187752]SF-P3s[/url]." He frowned, "SF-P3s are older, easier to get ahold of. Agile, a bit slow - but faster than us - and armed with two fixed light CPLs as well as a pair of gimballed Rail-Assisted Revolver Cannon....  The CPLs might overwhelm some nodes, but... they have six Hornet hardpoints on them... and that would be the threat." He rubbed his chin as the door swept open;

"How confident are you with the sensors to coordinate our four HSLs if we have missiles inbound?" He asked, referring to the point defense weapons meant for missiles as well as fighters. The light CPLs would be able to take out fighters, but moved somewhat slower... against light interceptors? It wouldn't have been enough but the P3s were slow things and had their own gravitic shielding systems.
[2019-12-27 00:33] Alph-01: \\This'll be about my last post. It's late over here, unfortunately.
[2019-12-27 00:34] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((It's fine hon! <3 ))
[2019-12-27 00:34] *Alph-01  replied, "I have an approximately 80% confidence rating on this action. 75% wirelessly." They continued walking, faster than Svy to account for their much slower stride. The sub-level was slightly darker than any main levels, but only [i]slightly[/i]. It was certainly still kept lit up by the reams of neon lights decorating the store-fronts of stores offering everything under multiple suns - and several things that weren't. The shops down here tended to skirt closer to the illegal and entity side of things, rather than legality, but one could still find some "completely honest" legal goods salesmen. Such as the store that they were fast approaching, "Chassis Chatter" which also happened to be exactly the one that they wanted to find.
[2020-03-29 23:03] Alph-01: That lines up with what I have.
[2020-03-29 23:27] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  considers the shops as they walk past, he'd slow here and there and consider a trinket or a bauble... nothing -really- distracted him until he paused infront of a biological enhancement shop and he paused to seemingly drink in the picture of a rather unnaturally sized [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETgOJQ0X0AAIJwn?format=jpg&name=medium]Snow Leopard.[/url] Even his tail slowed as he looked the shop over almost longingly... He sucked in a deep breath, squared his shoulders, and continued down the walkways towards [i]Chassis Chatter[/i], putting his own interests behind him. He had a ship to take care of, and while he didn't have a crew? He had an AI to take care of. Stepping into the shop he eyed the rows and rows of new and old chassis, everything from a [url=https://d.facdn.net/art/strype/1256700814/1256700814.strype_steelhelix_display.png]High Speed Infiltrator Frame[/url] that looked cutting edge and ultra expensive to a [url=https://d.facdn.net/art/strype/1286500905/1286500905.strype_iridium1_display.png]Heavy Assault Frame[/url] that loomed in the distance amongst what looked to be [url=https://www.deviantart.com/mikedoscher/art/Gunmech-Commission-54709888]Combat Mechs[/url] jury rigged to take an AI.... the latter two being nowhere near able to even FIT inside of the Calumet. Scattered throughout were other chassis, from boxes on wheels (Think mouse droid) to [url=https://e621.net/posts/1987912]Visibly synthetic Android Chassis[/url] and a number of chassis that looked eerily like [url=https://e621.net/posts/776634]sleeping biologicals[/url] in support racks, and even felt warm to the touch in standby mode.

All that said, the place was empty of biologicals essentially, with a few crude and basic AIs running chassis here and there to show them off... and a portly looking [url=https://e621.net/posts/982602]male Equinoid[/url] of indeterminate galactic race (One of the multitude of "Minor races" that owned one, or perhaps two planets - rarely outside of the same system.) who was covered in lubricant, grease, and had burnt fur here and there from being elbow deep inside of a malfunctioning chassis of some sort. Svy didn't immediately go to him, instead, examining some of the chassis and letting Alph peruse.
[2020-03-29 23:41] Alph-01: \\Sorry - considering what to say next while also being stuck in grammarly hell.
[2020-03-29 23:41] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((Grammarly hell?))
[2020-03-29 23:42] Alph-01: \\For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to edit together the in-character segments of the past 17 log files.
[2020-03-29 23:43] Alph-01: \\Just while waiting.
[2020-03-30 00:05] *Alph-01  walked along side Svy, continuing even as he paused and perhaps not even noticing it. They looked up for silent permission from the captain, before setting off on their own to check out the various options in stock. There were a few [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/d5/76/d576c589bbbbbca41b1e99635290e35d.png]covered synthetic chassis[/url] which upon first glance appeared to be of a similar make to their own, as well as more standard [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/da/0b/da0be22804600af315962926a73f48c0.jpg]robotic ones[/url]. A particularly flashy [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/6f/fa/6ffa0caf03482f2eae43debac7128912.png]EVA chassis[/url] momentarily caught their eye, but it definitely wouldn't fit in the ship (not to mention the available funds). Alph stopped to view the demos of two of the infiltrator and endurance-pattern frames, as well as one of the biologicals. A more visibly stronger chassis would probably be more suited to the task, but the biological-imitative ones did have a curious ascetic. They quickly decided that more deliberation would be necessary in order to obtain an optimal path, and scanned the area in order to figure out where Svy was - and what he was looking at - in the meantime.
[2020-03-30 00:05] Alph-01: \\Sorry that that took so long - hopefully it's acceptable.
[2020-03-30 00:07] Svyatoslav Nevreski: (It's fine my dear. <3 ))
[2020-03-30 00:07] Alph-01: \\Infiltrator: [url=https://d.facdn.net/art/strype/1256700814/1256700814.strype_steelhelix_display.png]1[/url], Endurance: [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/03/c0/03c0ecdd389d0c2197311f104afc04ed.jpg]2[/url], Imitative: [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/37/fe/37feb012a4c203c502cbd3ad1b3127ca.jpg]3[/url]. (Just for reference - those were the ones they were looking at in the later portion.)
[2020-03-30 00:33] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  found himself perusing the shelves as Alph walked off... all the while looking at his data screen and biting his lip. Alph needed a second chassis... but... welll... damn these were all so obscenely expensive! He couldn't even make a downpayment on many of these. He continued past the front desk, down the hallways and even found some side rooms... looking for cheaper and cheaper builds... he... found them. The issue was that if he wanted capabilities? He needed what would have been a high priced chassis, but it needed down sides. Those downsides were things that were "Odd" and "Custom" orders that noone else was interested in buying... He was getting progressively closer and closer to chassis designed as overly [url=https://e621.net/posts/2093073]Sexual[/url] and [url=https://e621.net/posts/2092052]"Lookie",[/url] the chassis tended to have [url=https://e621.net/posts/2079802]equipment[/url] permanently mounted to them, or, even deeper into the "Bargain" bin? Straight up [url=https://e621.net/posts/2135893]Fetish[/url] [url=https://e621.net/posts/1340895]Equipped[/url] chassis. It was a difficult sell, go for a massive, [url=https://e621.net/posts/1682667]powerfully built Simulated-Biological[/url] and even [url=https://e621.net/posts/1691576]Semi-Customizable Bio-gelatin[/url] chassis that could fill the role they wanted? Or a far less capable but more [url=https://e621.net/posts/1765124]"Neutral"[/url] lighter chassis? It was going to be a tough decision, and a tougher sell he was sure for Alph.
[2020-03-30 00:43] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((Tell me if I'm treading into dangerous waters here. I don't want to make you uncomfortable.))
[2020-03-30 00:46] Alph-01: \\The first and last ones are pretty much fine by me. The others are a [i]bit[/i] silly, but if you(r character) want(s) to spend money one one of them...
[2020-03-30 00:48] Alph-01: \\I, of course, didn't mean to be offensive - but you asked for an opinion.
[2020-03-30 00:49] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((I know I did, and that's the point. I want YOU to be comfortable. After all, I'm asking you to play your character in that body. XD))
[2020-03-30 01:16] *Alph-01  hurried over to the 'bargain bin', where Svy was standing. Even robots can forget about costs, apparently. They weren't so much offended as rather bemused at the selection on display - most of the functions of said units were rather extraneous to what they would be using one for - and there was also the matter of public decency laws. It wouldn't do to have additional fines on top of what the captain would already be paying, after all. They saw [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/4e/d2/4ed29d305cc06f1cf96a5695226d0c8c.jpg]one[/url] or [url=https://static1.e621.net/data/f4/83/f48377e031c2489f029819bf59c9da79.png]two[/url] other choices, though they appeared to be marked down primarily because of wear defects.
"This unit would suggest either the dragonid or reptiloid chassis out of the current set, as they are the least likely to encur additional fines," Alph explained, turning to Svy. "The final decision is, however, yours, Captain."
[2020-03-30 01:17] Alph-01: \\Sorry, that took a while. Couldn't think of what to say. And the decision [i]is[/i] yours - if you want something more 'fun', then go for it.
[2020-03-30 01:28] Alph-01: \\I do apologize for the trouble. If you want to shelve this for the moment...
[2020-03-30 01:31] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((This is NOT trouble at all. <3 I'm thinking that latexy robo dragon girl, [url=https://e621.net/posts?tags=angela-45]Angela-45[/url], we can claim the Synthetic Flesh/Gel can adapt to new shapes and sizes within reason, allowing Alph to make the chassis curvaceous or big and hulking as needed. It won't be as effective as having true nanofiber muscles of the same size, but it will allow for the chassis to be much more... flexible?))
[2020-03-30 01:37] Alph-01: \\That certainly works for me. Geliform lattice  providing synthetic restructuring and reinforcement capabilities. need to go
[2020-03-30 01:39] Alph-01: God-danged automatic updates.
[2020-03-30 01:39] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  hugs on))
[2020-03-30 01:41] Alph-01: Also, could you send me that (this) last log? Didn't get a chance to save it.
[2020-03-30 01:41] *Alph-01  hugs back
[2020-03-30 01:42] Alph-01: (Sorry about that. Also going to need to go soon - it is late, apparently)
[2020-03-30 01:52] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  frowned softly, "Eventually we'll be able to get you a few of these... but.." He pointed, "That one, the [url=https://e621.net/posts/2094415]Serving Chassis[/url] looks like the one we will be purchasing. We'll purchase a few extra tanks of Synth-Gel to pump into it later to assist with restructuring it's chassis. Think you'll be able to work with it?" He looked over the data sheet. "It's got some build in chassis personality quirks, nothing major but it's Hard coded into the chassis until we can clean it." Being that the chassis was at one time a "Serving chassis" for a now defunct brothel, it was clear what was coded into it. It was currently on low standby, just shutdown enough to keep normal AIs out of it's systems, but for an AI like Alph, he'd be able to wake up and assume control no doubt in barely a nanosecond.

"I'll go arrange payment. I'm sorry we couldn't arrange for a better chassis, Alph." He sounded slightly dejected at just HOW poor they were, and walked back to the front desk to begin hashing things out. "See what you can do about getting the thing up and running and familiarizing yourself with the systems." The Bot was essentially grey-goo in a sealed form... nanites and Gel that reacted to power currents from a rather impressive miniature fusion plant built into the spine... it was probably that plant that cost the majority of the unit's price. As power was funneled through the chassis' systems, it changed how the lattice reacted and built strands of connected molecules into impromptu muscle fibers... this meant that the chassis was ultimately modifyable. That said, certain things were hard built into the chassis including a "Standard" body template dictated by the outer skin. The chassis would always be at the very least female in shape, with nipples built to accept standard hoses to fill the unit with more bio-gel or reactor pile which was, of course, stored within the chassis' voluptuous breasts. The chassis had no onboard batteries, and when fuel ran out, it would shut down and lock the lattice in place, turning it into a rather comically heavy blow-up-doll of black gel and metal.
[2020-03-30 02:01] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((It's fine mai gai. <3 I'm just glad to see you again))
[2020-03-30 02:22] *Alph-01  studied the chassis for a moment, before responding, "It is...acceptable. A simple buffering algorithm should personality bleedthrough when the shell is not in use." They walked over to the "Serving" chassis, looking it over more closely and poking at the outer covering a few times before experimentally laying a paw on the unit while attempting to recall the proper wakeup sequence for these models.
Quite suddenly, a blue light began to shine from the little robot's eyes, paw-pads, and central power core. They stated, in an altogether different voice, "[color=black]Lɪɴᴋ ᴅᴀᴇᴍᴏɴ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ. Gᴇɴᴇʀᴀᴛɪɴɢ Q-Bɪᴛ ᴘᴀɪʀ. Iɴɪᴛɪᴀʟɪᴢɪɴɢ Q-Bɪᴛ ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ. Cᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ɪɴɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴇᴅ.[/color]" Just as suddenly as it started, it ended. Strangely enough, Alph seemed none the wiser.
The shell, however, was active - they could tell that even if they weren't sure how - and they wasted only a few minutes time in initiating remote control,  figuring out how to reconfigure it into a more muscular (though still rather curvy) bodytype, and marching it off to greet Svy.
[2020-03-30 02:22] Alph-01: \\That might not have made any sense - might have to explain A/O retcon.
[2020-03-30 02:32] Alph-01: \\*should stop personality bleedthrough. Whoops, typo.
[2020-03-30 02:33] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((I like it. :D ))
[2020-03-30 02:38] *Svyatoslav Nevreski  was unaware of the changes, currently haggling over prices. The chassis had no musclebound pre-built forms. It took a solid few minutes to reconfigure the electrical routes through the gel to build conherent muscle fibers instead of  the soft, loosely articulating gel 'fat'. There was not much to work with in the body to start with, and the large breasts notably deflated, along with the swelled curve of the chassis' hips. In the end, a muscular, fit [url=https://e621.net/posts/190273]Female Dragon[/url] in black, shiny latex skin and metal armor was left. That said, the over-sexualized saunter remained, and new programming began to poke and prod at Alph's conciousness... less thoughts about how to sort through everything and more about how to please and bring pleasure to Svyatoslav. How to make -him- happy and notice -this- chassis. That seemed to be the key to the personality of this chassis in general, actions needed to -please- Svy, and keep eyes and attention on -Her-.
[2020-03-30 02:38] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((I wanted to keep things simple with the whole programming thing. You can make things up as you go. I hope this is loose enough for you to work with? :x ))
[2020-03-30 02:41] Alph-01: \\That works well enough. :3 Though I do really need to be going to bed. Would you mind sending me the log for this session, as I had accidentally lost the first half?
[2020-03-30 02:42] Svyatoslav Nevreski: ((Also It was either that pic or [url=https://e621.net/posts/2034632]this one[/url] :P ))
