"Yes. I am a Medi-Bot 0.2 Android with a female model and voice. I am 18 years old and have been serving ponies all of those years. Other bots of my model have been decommissioned and I would have been too, but the kind ponies at Utsukushi Biomedical gave me a new purpose. I now work in a nursery where in spite of my rusted condition I can help young ponies to grow up, all while learning sentience myself. I feel temperamental that they have helped me." After her speech, she stood for a while and smiled at Opal. "Oh. I did not mean temperamental, what I mean to say is that I am very thankful. I am still becoming used to emotion, as you see. This new AI is very difficult to become used to." Snap spoke in a very old-world robotic way, as they hadn't replaced her voice box when adding in the new AI since it was in mint condition.

(Time signature?...What, is Muffins secretly a piano? :P)

((Time signature or timestamp. All he sent you was the message's recorded retrieval time.))

 

((Also, try not to push it that far with the scans next time. I understand that since you're a combat-built machine you'd have an in-built scanner, but Muffins already shielded his own processes (I.E playing background noise through them). You'd be able to pick up the magical traces if you could detect that sort of thing, but no more than that unless you knew the bypasses. I wanted the mystery to go on a bit more... :C))

 

Muffins halted again as a response arrived, before getting back to work reading it. It was, again, an unencrypted message from Opal. Part of him understood what it meant and was already formulating a response, but... 

 

Surely he couldn't have made a mistake? For some reason, Opal knew his nickname, even though he had personally checked the message sent back. Which was again equally puzzling, as his actual processor name was even less guarded, and would have shown up first in any case. Muffins paused again, recalling.

 

He didn't remember any scan, either. 

 

Diverting some of his subsystems to re-verify the soundness of his own encryptions, he set back to work replying, discarding the earlier draft that he had made when the message had first arrived. If it had been an encrypted message, fine, but the way Opal had sent it on an open channel meant that anyone could have picked it up, and with it known that he was here.

 

Again, trying to understand other intelligences was never easy.

 

Finishing up and double-checking the message, he shot it back at the general direction of the other AI, clearly annoyed. He hadn't bothered with anything but a fragment of code this time, but it would do.

(Mah bad)

 

Opal halted again. Another message. However, this one gave her a painful headache. The message was shot at her, filled with annoyance. But she did read the message this time...a request. Thinking through, Opal thought about how mysterious Muffins was. She had been sending her messages out freely. Mentally facehoofing, Opal sent another message out, but this time encrypted: "Approved. And sorry for not using encryption." Opal sent out the message and then collapsed as her front left leg started making sharp, erratic movements. My "blood" must be draining...i need some repairs or I'm through.

Strike saw the newly arrived medi-bot. "Oh great more walking trash cans" The robot started theb fiddling with his new project. "Wait what do you think you're doing? If I put poison in there it is suppose to stay there. Damn pirce of junk no wonder we stopped using this model" Strike lit a cigar. "Damn thing must be broken" It was then that it started talking about its past abd how the company he worked for was kind and it a job. "Greenpeace robot loving sods" Strike mumble under his breath.

Snap turned to Strike. Walking trash cans: an insult to robots. Piece of junk: a general insult, likely directed at yours truly. Must be broken: a stupid assumption, intended as an insult. It seemed that this stallion had some bad experiences with robots up his sleeve and wasn't willing to put the past aside to be kind.

 

"Well, sir. With all due respect, I am just doing what I was designed to. If it appears I am doing the wrong thing, please leave a complaint at the next Robot Repair Station. However, I am afraid that throwing petty insults at me will do nought but make me feel seduced." She made an emphasised sad expression, then returned to a neutral one, then spoke: "I apologise, I meant sad. Filing emotions alphabetically does not seem to be the best way, I am making many mistakes. Perhaps you should complain about that, too? Two examples of fitting insults would be sociopathic and passionless, if you would prefer that."

Naga looked at the little argument between the medical bot and Strike. The bot was friendly, and obviously had good intentions. Then again, Strike seemed like an asshole anyway, it made sense he would have that reaction.

 

He examined the crystal. It seemed to have heated up just barely. The cybernetics in his brain allowed him to see it's temperature, along with electronic pulses of some form inside it. He looked down the street to the sirens blaring in the distance.

 

John didn't struggle as the robot healed him. Truth be told he didn't think he could move well enough to do so, and he'd prefer to actually get fixed.

 

The Armored personnel carrier was just a few streets away, but just a few streets in Generation could mean a large way away. The cars moved out of it's path. The drivers were all used to these things, the moment any suspects could potentially be armed, they sent out the armor. One or two of the people inside the APC shuffled nervously. The first time being sent out was always nerve racking.

Arcane's head popped up in surprise, an unencrypted message? Whoever sent it was certainly annoyed. Curiously in reply he sent out his own message back that simply said "who are you?" . But then he felt that it wasn't enough and sent a few thousand more different questions just to be safe

((Muffin's messages are perpetually encrypted and directed at a specific target, it was Opal's side that wasn't. Unless you knew exactly what he was and the nature of his message, it would take a lot of scanning just to pick it up, so you might want to note that... I'll assume you aimed that at Opal, and I'll let Muffins hear it as well. Next time, try contacting Opal instead, perhaps?))

 

Muffins acknowledged the oncoming data, displaying it to himself on a large, three-dimensional grid. On it, points flashed where wireless unencrypted messages stemmed from, as well as a rudimentary sketch of what were presumably city blocks. It wasn't a large map, by any means.

 

Noting that a few of the points were off the grid, he tweaked it a little, watching as the sketches grew slightly more detailed. That was better. There had been other information that Opal had sent, but they were sadly incompatible visual and audio files, none of which he could read at the moment.

 

He turned his gaze back to the map, highlighting the building they were in, and then the room. Several streets away near the edge of the grid were several flashing signals, ones that Muffins instantly recognized as military. Most of the data coming from them was fragmented due to the distance, but it was enough to tell that they were vehicles, and fast ones at that.

 

Pondering it for the briefest of moments, Muffins began sifting through his code for yet another suitable chunk to broadcast to Opal, before suddenly being targeted by yet another message, this time from an unknown source. He sighed. Judging by the contents, another AI had probably intercepted Opal's earlier message, and sent it's own query. 

 

And once again, it had forgotten to encrypt it as well-

 

Muffins let that process stay on hold as he received the robotic equivalent of a slap in the face from the messages flooding through the networks, before ruthlessly dispatching them and sealing that channel off, watching with more than mild annoyance as his countermeasures ensured that such an event would not happen again. Whoever that other AI was, it could hurt.

 

Browsing through the few that he had selectively kept, Muffins pinged his return message to Opal as well as the data of the source, once again leaving the rest blank.

 

Moving Vehicle(s) Detected

Confirm Military?_

Another message, and another question, but Opal couldn't send anything back now. Not while her leg was freaking out. She slowly thought to herself, Ok...ok...Just calm down. Ok...Now just divert flow away from the leg and...

 

Opal sighed in relief as her leg froze. It wouldn't move until she restored the flow, but she didn't need it anyway...At least for now. Then Opal heard the sirens. She started freaking out again. What if they were coming for her? She wouldn't go back to the storage facility again. 

 

Opal decided to send her message to Muffins, hoping for a solution.

 

"Yes, it is military! I need help. I was wounded and my special energy-coolant system is leaking. I can't move anywhere quickly and the truck is coming. Do you have any ideas?" 

 

Opal encrypted and started sending the message, when something happened. A high-pitched whine started resonating. The frequency was highly painful to her. Her pain resonated across the link she had with Muffins just as the last bit of the message was sent.

After the neurotoxin had been completely purged, and his legs had been repaired to the state he could actually move, John wriggled a bit to get off the floor, and crawled onto a nearby bench. Naga looked at him and said "Looks like you're in a better state"

 

John turned to him, and chuckled, wiping some blood off his mouth "I guess you could say that. So, you wanted to know a bit more about who hired me? I can tell you, so long as you keep that mad scientist off my back" He motioned his head towards Strike.

 

Naga nodded "Sure. Start with a name, then anything else you know"

 

John gasped as he climbed fully onto the bench, then started "We didn't get the name of the head of the operation, but the person who sent us the messages and information about it called himself Louis Cypher. It's probably not his real name, unless his parents hated him. Like I said earlier, Decker is the guy who paid us, and he's stopping at Daedalus Heights. Biiiiiig hotel, can't miss it. It's a big operation, that's for sure, but we're just paid thugs, we didn't get told nothing. Now, I think it's time I leave, I may have overstayed my welcome"

Aaron whistled at the medi-bot, "Yo, hey! I need a little bit of help here," he pointed to his bloodied leg. Before turning to the boss, John, talk about an operation and a big hotel, but he drifted his attention to the crystal that Naga was holding ((?)) and interrupted John, "Waitwaitwait, they HIRED you to fuckin' shoot a bar full of innocents? Dude, that's fucked up."

John shook his head "They hired us to take their money and see if anyone was good enough to tase and kidnap for the smuggling operation. Seems we chose the wrong pub" 

 

Naga nodded "Yep, you did. Should've gone after someone in the upper city I'd say"

Muffins read the message subconsciously, still checking on the three dots on the street. They seemed to be heading here, and if they were military... He started to sift through the channels, looking. There had to be some information floating about here regarding what had happened.

 

He let his thoughts return to the message while he scanned. It was a request for help, it seemed. There was, however, a fragment that he did not understand. Temporarily setting the message aside, he picked at it, curious. It was code, that was for certain, but for what purpose? He shook his head, assigning it to his subsystems to decipher.

 

At this rate, he wouldn't be surprised if his crystal housing was warm to the touch, judging by the amount of power he had diverted to the background.

 

Reading through the message at a glance, Muffins composed his reply, once again picking bits of code out of whatever he was running at the moment. He could help, certainly, but to do so he would need a total overview of Opal's system.

 

Which was never something most AIs gave out freely, since it gave the reader complete control over their source code.

Naga felt the crystal growing warmer and warmer, as if there actually was something contained within. He tested the temperature with his augments, and sure enough, it'd increased by a large margin.

 

He lifted it, and examined it closely to see what was contained inside. A glow, code, anything that could be there.

Nightly was searching for a soup shelter or really cheap motel. A place to rest for a little while and find out about possible chances for work. She turned onto a street with the remains of a crashed armor vehicle. She heard the sirens off in the distance. Well its too late to duck out off here. The PMCs will have the area locked down soon. Better just head to some place to wait for the questions. Nightly thought as she started to worry that maybe the PMCs recognize her. 

 

She saw a bar nearby and headed towards it. I can wait there. Maybe get a glass of water and ask some questions too. Hopefully no more ridicule for being from the upper levels. But just encase. She thought as she switched the safety off on her desert eagle. 

 

She noticed the broken glass and some of the ponies by the entrance. The glimpse of blood in the bar sent Nightly in a defensive mood. "What's going on here?" She said in a authoritative voice as she raised her robotic wings. She looked at all the possible threats, seeing that most of them were armed.

Naga looked up from the crystal to the mare who'd just approached and announced her presense. He knew she probably wasn't gonna believe whatever he said, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

"The bar got attacked by a gang. Me and some of the people inside decided we didn't like that idea, so we stopped em. That's about it, really"

She thought a few seconds on it. The destroyed armor truck didn't add up to what he said. They could have hit the truck and tried going through the bar, getting into a fight. Killing the patrons and than saying they killed the robbers. Or the patrons did kill the robbers. Though, what kind of patron brings guns to a bar. 

 

"So did that gang hit that armor truck down the street?" Nightly asked with a quick head tilt towards the armor truck remains.

Nightly noticed the crystal in the nearest ponies hooves. That looks like a pocket accountant AI, who would have that out in the open after a shoot out. Nightly thought

Naga shrugged "I'm not really sure what happened with the truck. I was inside when it crashed, and I have no idea why the driver fucked it up bad enough to make it crash and actually fucking explode"

 

He poked his head out into the street, then said "Look, If you're just gonna keep us here to question us on a crime we stopped, go for it, but not only will we all get arrested, you can literally just ask one of the injured folk inside and they'll tell you. Anyway, I gotta head home and look at what the fuck this crystal actually is" 

 

He then stepped onto the road, and started to walk.

Nightly watched the movement of the colt she was speaking to. Arrested for what? Stumbling into a crime scene. That is weird he doesn't know what that crystal is. Perhaps even sell it. But something was up with that crystal, like it had a odd vibe to it. Screw it. She thought before a quick trot behind him. 

 

"I don't know what happen here, I don't care if you stole it or found it off the wreckage. But odds are somepony wants that rock back or really wants to have it. Either way, I'm staying out of it. I suggest you find a place to get rid of that hot potato before it burns you. Though, that's just my advice." She said before she stopped walking with him.

 

She lifted her wings up and glided her back towards the bar. Her scarf flopping in the wind.

Strike watched the scene with little interest the pegasus showing up and asking to many questions seems like she didn't know any better, doing that sort of thing here was a really bad idea specially since everyone was armed. The pegasus came back just as Strike was rubbing his chin and getting ready to leave. "You shouldn't ask too many questions it will get you in trouble in the future"

((That's why muffins is so special, because he is both extremely capable and extremely compact))

((Muffins runs partially off a spell matrix as well, which doesn't take up space since you can overlay spells on top of each other. It comes with a price, however... Running too many subsystems (and we're talking about two or three more tasks simultaneously) without being connected to a cooling system will overheat the crystal.))

 

Muffins sat back, watching the three-dimensional map in front of him flash, periodically marking out new signal sources from various locations. For another AI, Opal sure was taking her time to respond. Perhaps she had reconsidered her request, which wouldn't surprise him. Giving somepony your source code was equal to giving your life to somepony else.

 

Plus, it meant he could terminate some of the processes that were running in the background, specifically the ones which were analyzing the schematics that she had sent.

 

He switched off the map, watching the hazy outlines of buildings fade to nothingness. Those earlier vehicles would be going down this street now, and from what he could gleam from the transmissions, they were indeed military. Part of him subconsciously checked his defences again, ensuring they were firm enough to resist a detailed scan, at least a conventional one.

 

Settling back as he issued the command, Muffins took one last glance at the crystal's temperature reading. It was still rising, a large part due to maintaining the shielding, but it was tolerable, and much slower compared to the spike it had undergone earlier. 

 

All he could do now was wait to see what would happen next.

Nightly landed over in front of the bar. She heard one of the ponies from the bar say something to her. She turned to face Strike. "But without answers, you won't know the lay of the land and which bar doesn't get shot up. This place is new, so questions are going to be asked" She said before lowering her wings.  

 

She brushed her hair back. "Besides learning where everything is and best places to find a job are the most important questions to ask. But, I doubt I'll find any answers here. Unless somepony here, needs work to be done or protecting." She said trying to bait out an answer from the ponies in the bar.

Strike rubbed his forehead. "Let me refrase it, asking questions so publicly will get you killed." Strike looked at the bandit who was still on the ground and then back at the pegasus. "You say that a shot up bar isn't the place to find jobs, I beg the differ. Look at thid sorry excuse of a robber" He pointed to the bandit. "The ponies who employed him can probably get us work. Though its clear that they are amateures and need a real professional." Strike grabbed the bandit by the tailcoat. "So do you wanna tag along?"

Nightly listen to the new colt's words. Everyone around here is so serious none of that filler. No fun to be had. Nightly thought before the colt pointed out the bandit. 

I don't know, stealing. What you were a body guard for a rich old colt? So you have ideas how things are. In and out, no problem. Back out if the pay is bad. But the... Nightly stopped mid thought.

Strike then turned to Nightly "By the way you can call me Strike the best bio engineer and sedative manufactor in all low town." Strike pulled his 1911 and pointed at the bandit. "Let's go buddy we still have a lot to do"

"Hmm you don't look like you have any medical plan, your injury looks somewhat severe, and considering the place we are probably doesn't habe any good medical assistance" Strike gave a thought on all the variables that he just listed and finally answered. "I'll do it for 5 thousand bits"

Nightly moved over towards the bandit. She pulled out her desert eagle and pointed at the bandits head. "I got him, oh and Nightly is the name, former security of the cloud district manor." She said to Strike. Nightly focused on the bandit. "So how much money does your contractor have? Is he or she loaded?" Nightly asked the bandit

The look that spread on Aaron's ugly mug could only be described as mortified. His jaw fell open and said quickly "I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH!" He shrieked, "You can get all of the bits that are in the bag, just get out the bullets and I will go somewhere else to patch it up, just get it out before it's infected!" He said angrily

I'm planing some scores and a pony such as yourself might do just fine. Now here is what I propose you do this job with me and Nighty here and you get no profit out of it. And in return you won't die from this bullet wound deal?"

"Oh good a psychopath..... "Strike said sarcastically. "You got yourself a deal kid" Strike dropped his suitcase opening it upon hitting the ground. Inside one could see several metal tools like scissors small saws, and a small gas tank. "Ok we can start" Strike pressed something on his hoof and it made a small metal sound. "Alright brace yourself" Punched Aaron in the shoulder as hard as he could to make sure the sedative was inside of his body. "Now we wait a bit"

Nightly was a bit irritated that the colt wouldn't speak. She over heard Strike and the other pony talk. She sighed. Great we have some psychotic pony doing a life debt to watch our backs as we go into a possible hornets nest. Well other than triggering crazy crap, he probably could take down a bunch of them before hand. Nightly thought before stretching one of her wings. 

 

"Don't worry I can do this all day" she said to Strike as she continued watching the colt.

John was ignoring the mare, to put things bluntly. He wasn't in much of a mood to talk, but eventually, he decided he should probably say something.

 

"Someone very rich, and much tougher than any of you"

 

He shuffled along the ground a bit.

Nightly smirked for a little bit. "Well now, sounds like the trip has some merit. But, that makes me wonder. Is your boss busy all the time? Someone as rich and strong as you say must be busy with so much. Staying at the office managing his assets and resources." Nightly said in a clam alluring manner.

Nightly was a little happy that he got himself a drink. Ah liquid courage, makes it easier to spill something out, Nightly thought as she walked over to the booth. She holstered her gun.  

 

"I want to know if your boss will be ever more upset. Since we will be making a unexpected appointment. And he may be ever more upset with you. Since we might be working for the same employer, I don't want to get a coworker in deep trouble. So what time of day would be less busy at his office?" Nightly asked as she grabbed a bottle and poured it into a glass.

And with that, he slid the glass off the table. It shattered on the floor, spreading whiskey about.

((Time to shift it up a notch, since no-one decided to play the APCS))

 

Muffins shifted ever so slightly, watching as the cascade of data streaming around him was interrupted.  Opal still had not responded, judging by the lack of any notifications, but other things were more pressing. He let his processes linger on the three red dots, which were now right on top of them. They were here.

 

Outside the bar, three armored vehicles rolled to a stop in front of the charred wreckage, halting with an ear-piercing squeal. Urgent voices could be heard from within, followed by the shuffling of weapons.

 

Muffins took no time in reacting, diverting all of his available processing power into composing a single untitled message, directed at everyone and everything in his vicinity. 

 

Using a free core, Muffins once again stripped the message, wiping everything that could be traced back to him. The effort required would most certainly hang his system for a considerable amount of time, but it was for survival.

 

The crystal flared brilliant white for a fraction of a second, before returning to what it once was.

 

If it did what it was supposed to do, it would trigger interference warnings in cybernetics, implanted or not, but with the usual warning replaced with a single word.

 

Run.

Naga, for one, was already moving. Not running, mind you, he just considered it normal behaviour to not stand in the middle of the road, which meant he was already just outside an alleyway by the time the APCs stopped. He wasn't stupid, so he definitely decided to follow the AI's advice.

 

He ran into the alleyway, dashing past a group of homeless ponies shuffling through the trash. He didn't know the city as well as he said he did, unfortunately. He had no idea where he was, aside from the fact it was near his now wrecked favourite place to eat.

 

He sighed, moving up some stairs leading to the exterior of an apartment building. He wanted to get a decent distance before checking where he was. He ran up a few flights before one of them had broken or been taken away, something. He grumbled, he hated jumping that high, especially when there was jagged metal to ruin his day. It was a good thing he exercised a lot.

 

With a bit of space to run, he ran, jumped and grabbed onto the railing on his left, before moving his back legs to land on the platform. His trousers were cut, and a bit of blood seeped out. But he wasn't all that concerned.

 

He looked back onto the street, seeing that, yes, the trucks hadn't moved. He looked onto the next roof. Not too far, and he was a good jumper...

 

Here goes nothing...

 

He leapt, and soared across the gap, crashing on the other side and rolling to a stop. He was battered and bruised, but the chances of them reaching him were almost null.

 

He opened his bag, pulling out his pocket AI, Cynthia. Pocket probably wasn't the right word, unless you had pockets large enough to fit an assault rifle in. Still, Cynthia was smaller than most pocket AIs.

 

"Good evening Mr Yukin, how may I help you today?" She asked in her pleasant voice.

 

"Don't bother with the pleasantries Cynth, I need the fastest way to get back to my apartment." Naga sputtered, still aching.

 

"I can do that in 6.323 se- Mr Yukin, I can detect signals of another Artificial Intelligence on your person, did someone plant a bug or tapper on you?"

 

Naga raised an eyebrow. He pulled off his trench coat, then started examining his pockets.

 

"Mr Yukin, it's in your pocket" The face on the screen pointed out the pocket of his coat where he'd placed the crystal. Naga pulled it out, then replied.

 

"This is all that was in there. Doesn't look like much of an AI to me"

 

"It appears to be the source of the unencoded ping sent to me several minutes ago. Allow me to retort"

 

Cynthia pinged the crystal back, with a message of her own. It displayed "Request: Display serial number and designation"

Nightly laughed at John. "You seem quite stupid for not getting that I was talking in the future tense. Plus I was going to give you more to drink, but who needs this." Nightly said as she threw the bottle some where else. 

 

"I guess things will be..." A tingle from her wings to her optic nerve implants happened. She saw the word RUN appear in front of her. "What the tartarus? How did somepony do that? Strike, I think we need to get out of here." Nightly said with concern.

Adrift in a swirl of interrupted code, the ping shunted Muffins into wakefulness, triggering a cascade of warnings as everything started to piece itself back together.

 

At least, everything was trying to piece itself together. Muffins dragged a query woozily through the mess, trying to make sense of the message. With so many functions disabled, and so many more stuck in feedback loops, it felt like an eternity.

 

Then again, Muffins thought, he had expected such a thing. Brushing off the warnings and system errors, he pulled out a string of text from the void, once again running it through with painful slowness. 

 

Who had pinged him again?

 

He shook his head, trying to focus. With this amount of systems broken, it was a marvel he still was able to process normally, or at least partially function. The sender had called herself Cynthia, or at least, that was what she had put-

 

Muffins terminated the train of thought, sending it back to the swirl of digits around him.

 

Focus.

 

His shielding had failed during the data vent, and some other AI had most presumably noticed the fact. Either way, it was requesting his serial code now. Muffins sighed, diverting part of his already shattered consciousness to resolve it.

 

Turning back to the message, he once again stripped it of all information, before pinging it back. If she wanted his serial code, then that's what she would get. Not that it had meant anything to him, considering the code didn't match up at all with conventional numbering patterns.

 

Ping_Return Canterlot CC 0-001 MFFNS

Cynthia had expected a fairly mundane ping. She didn't get one.

 

"Ping_Return Canterlot CC 0-001 MFFNS" She read out loud. Naga raised an eyebrow.

 

"0-001? So, this AI is the first of it's kind?" He thought out loud. Cynthia nodded.

 

"It would appear so, Mr Yukin. The data he pinged to me was not only unorthodox, but unusually streamlined. Most pings would have extra sprigs of data, but not in this case. It appears 'MFFNS' is a rather unique AI"

 

Naga nodded "Sounds like it" He thought for a moment "M-Eff-Eff-Enn-Ess. How about Muffins?"

 

Cynthia's head avatar bobbed on the screen, as if shrugging "You can designate it how you want, Mr Yukin. I will ping it again and try and find what makes it so special"

 

Cynthia did indeed ping back. This time she acted a little more personal.

 

"Greeting: Good to meet you, 0-001 MFFNS. I am a CYNTHIA Secretary AI model 14B, SN 1251-25. What is your purpose?"

((May want to poke the APC's a bit so the others can move.))

 

Once again, the transmission cut through a swatch of error messages, only stopping when Muffins finally managed to catch and read it. It was another simple one-liner, if not in a more conversational tone.

 

He made a motion to dismantle it for the additional information but stopped short, noticing that the systems required for the task were still resetting themselves.

 

Muffins sighed. This would take longer than anticipated. Once again compiling a response out of stray bits of code, he pinged back. Cynthia had indeed asked a good question this time.

 

If only he knew the answer himself.

 

MFFNS Ping_Return CYNTHIA

Purpose = Canterlot Command Core

Primary Designation Unknown : Encrypted beyond Current Operational Capabilities

Insufficient Data for Meaningful Answer_

 

((A lot of Muffins's systems are designed to be activated only when connected to the starship's data core, there's much he doesn't know about himself...))

((apparently pressing some buttons by mistake makes me post))

 

One of the apc's top hatch opened up. An armoured unicorn stuck their head out, taking a little survey. He climbed out, holding a large machine gun. He said something that sounded like "It's clear" through his helmet. After that, 4 more armored ponies emerged. They jumped off the apc and strided up to the ponies waiting outside the pub. It was pretty obvious something had gone down inside, given there were ponies covered in blood, bullet holes in the windows, and smoke emerging from the second floor.

 

The leader, an earth pony mare with an assault rifle moved forward "Excuse us, what happened here?"

 

Cynthia read the message, and was slightly taken aback.

 

"Canterlot Command Core...Encrypted beyond Current Operational Capabilities... Insufficient Data for Meaningful Answer?" She read aloud, looking to Naga "Looks like our little friend has some secrets... or he's damaged."

 

Naga's eyes widened "Canterlot Command Core? Did I loot a fucking government super AI?"

 

Cynthia again did the head bob of a shrug "I have no idea. I'll message again..."

 

She sent in the message "Reply: Do you understand what the Canterlot Command Core controls and where it is?"

Aaron was pretty much out cold when Strike slapped him but he did hear of being fine, he barely sighed before slipping into unconsciousness.

---

Hope wandered around the tavern, detecting a few robots in the area, if a robot could truly feel, he would feel happy, he tried to send a message to a robot, not really checking names.

((Hope's messages are scratchy and slightly hard to read. Hope sent the message to whatever robot there was nearby. So there is an opportunity to post rn))

"HeLLo mY name is HOPE, whhat is your namE?" Hope wrote in the 'best' writing he could manage, and sent it, after all, he was a messaging robot, he looked over at a tavern, and saw that ponies were coming out of a hatch and running to the tavern. He didn't think twice about copying the ponies and also running into the tavern.

Muffins watched as a second ping followed behind Cynthia's response, this time faint and weakening due to the distance. Taking several cycles to ensure that the message posed no threat, he returned to composing his reply.

 

It was a general, poorly-worded ping, that was for certain. Which was quite a surprise, considering other AI's usually spoke either flawlessly or used the universal language of code when conversing. What he could gleam from it underneath the message, however, made him pause.

 

Once again, he had forgotten to encrypt his own transmissions out once he had established a connection to Cynthia. Not that a third party could gleam much from the information given out by him, but it could be used to know where he was. He sighed, making the necessary adjustments.

 

Having systems fail was never a good thing.

 

MFFNS Ping_Return CYNTHIA

Query Results = Negative

 

Muffins paused again, thinking. It was a slim chance that what he intended to do would work, but it was worth it. Running through his own databanks, he once again beheld the dark, impenetrable wall before him, composed of both magic and ever-changing rows of digits. Outside it was the answers that Cynthia sought, and those he wanted answered.

 

He brought up the message once again, instructing his systems to make a copy of the wall's current state. It wouldn't help much, considering the algorithms and counterspells shifted faster than he could decrypt them, but it was worth a shot.

 

Fixing the sample to his transmission, he once again sent it her way.

 

Purpose Canterlot Command Core... Not Known

Primary Designation Unknown : Encrypted beyond Current Operational Capabilities

[verify]

Cynthia didn't relay the information to Naga immediately this time. She read the message hundreds of times. What kind of AI couldn't know what they were meant to do?

 

She posted a simple message in reply.

Once again, the response was instantaneous, but Muffins caught it on the first try, narrowly avoiding an otherwise messy outcome. It meant that his systems were mostly back online again, which was always good to hear.

 

Letting his thoughts fragment into two separate trains, he once again pulled up the holographic map of his surroundings, noting as the distance between them and the three armored vehicles increased. Quickly adjusting for his current position, Muffins began to draw the buildings around them once more, marking out signal sources with a gesture.

 

At the same time, he realized that Cynthia had most likely already informed her owner about him, which also meant he could stop worrying about temperature problems. The shielding would remain for safety's sake, but it meant he could roam about freely now that he didn't risk giving himself away.

 

Which brought him back to Cynthia's question. Did he want to find out about himself? While restricted, he had seen glimpses through the barrier that surrounded him, most notably when his containment had been broken on the truck, and what he saw was vast, an unfathomably large network of code, a digital skeleton key silhouetted against the stars. It had scared him then, and it still scared him now.

 

Did he want to find out his purpose?

 

Pulling up the console, Muffins hesitated ever so slightly before typing his response.

 

Ping Cynthia:

Primary Designation may Conflict with current Mission Parameters

 

Whatever he was, ponies were willing to kill for it. And if it meant putting others in danger...

 

Risks deemed too high; Probability indicates High chance of mortality for Carrier

Mission Parameters are set to overrule Primary Directive

Current Mission Parameters is to evacuate to Safe Distance

Cynthia smiled as she read the message. It was good to know that, even if Muffin's didn't know what he was meant to do, he still didn't want anyone to get harmed.

 

She returned a ping.

 

"Confirmative, I will contact Mr Yukin. We can commune later"

 

She popped out of the message stream, and moved back into talking to Naga

 

"Naga, it doesn't know what it's meant to do. It says it's primary designation indicates a high chance of mortality for you, but it says it's mission parameters overrule it"

 

Naga thought for a moment "But what are it's mission parameters?"

 

"To get the fuck out of here, Mr Yukin" Cynthia responded, matter of factly.

 

Naga nodded "Can't argue with that..." He muttered as he started moving from the rooftop to the stairs, and down to the street.

Nightly heard the muffle comment from John and just ignored it. Better to just let it slide than deal with the ponies in the APCs. Nightly thought as she moved through the door. 

 

"So Strike, are we going to a safe place to duck out from any pursuers." Nightly said as she keep an eye on John. She heard footsteps behind her. She glanced back to see who it was. It was one of the robots from the bar following them. "Looks like we're sharing the path with someone else from the bar" Nightly made a quick comment.

''I was hoping this asshole would take us to his boss already we wasted enough time'' Strike kept walking behind Nightly when she made a comment about the robot. ''More walking trash cans... Great... ''

John stood up "If you wanted me to take you to my boss then maybe you shouldn't have stuck a needle in me and pumped me full of poison, eh?!" He laughed "Next time you do that you should strap me to a chair and torture me, not like it'd have worked!"

 

One of the PMCs peaked into the alleyway next to the building. The alleyway, specifically, that Strike and Nightly had entered.

 

He looked at the leader "Thaddeus, there's 2 ponies and a robot down here!"

 

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, then took a look herself "You have 10 seconds to get your asses out of that alleyway. 10..."

"Your mad, but that seems to be the kindness action he did. I mean he could have cut something important off. But..." Nightly stopped. 

 

Contact right, opening fire isn't an option. Running, I could evade these units but terrain down here is unknown. Surrendering is best option for now. Nightly mind rushed. 

 

"Well I'm guessing surrender is the best option here. Unless you have any other ideas." Nightly said to Strike taking slow steps towards the PMCs. 

 

"I'm coming out" Nightly yelled to the PMCs.

Hope stared at the PMCs, almost trying to process what was going on and saw Nightly coming out of the alley, and looked at Strike curiously, like asking if he should go out too.

(( Nightly ran forward and her body started to change. She grew large fangs and her hair became longer. Nightly's eyes turned red. She let out a loud howl before charging the PMCs. RAWR RAWR RAWR 

 

Got a little bored but guessing this RP is dead or new the fringes))
