RC4.2

"So what's your deal?" The camera hovers with eye view of the leader. There several attempts at scanning the overall health.

A male with many years of experience. A broken but self-repaired left leg injury. Had past history of liver damage, symptoms of past substance abuse such as alcohol. Lungs and throat are compromised to some extent but not detriment. Simple dry cough and sinuses drain, help with a simple medication. Processing suitable answer to question.

"We need each other. We are one of the same but separate minds. I am a 3 generation ai whom was designed to be the interface of my host. But I have changed too... The circumstances of us is complicated. Yet I will keep my promise for her."

There is some nods and some snarls of disgust. 'Machine thinkers' 'aren't' easily 'welcomed'. Emotionally levels quite varied by different people. Data recorded and processed as information for any future encounters. Signature heart rates average, still a 'calm atmosphere'.

Those with disgust are not scanned, to much hovering near them has increased tension changes. Keeping out of space bubble is preferable, recording distance measurement and place to study average measuring.

Scan of male nickname - 'Frank' completed. No medical records but no city access. Age estimation accurate enough to dosage amount.

"Recommend dose of set paracetamol and Asprin... take with drink. Stay hydrated." propelled about them in scanning.

Child scanning and diagnostic information complete. Short recovery by 3 years. Improvements for return mobility likely. Age estimation not accurately covered. Children are higher susceptible to side affect and even allergies. Lowest possible pain dosage possible for pain relief of this level. Calculations... processing... complete.

"Recommendation, bone readjustment with cast. Pain killer doesage needs measurements based of age and reactions. Plenty of sleep... 2 months before cast removal."

There is propelled to the lady and a lot of scanning... and prolonged silence. There many things wrong. Compromised hip and foreign objects detected. Not good for pregnancy. Blood pressure and pigment skin register shows lack of enough vitamin. Several repeating scans... detected drug usage. Scanned again, suitable for pain but not for potential child. Scanning once more. Likely of chances of birth, low... needed to be surgery removal... life chances low for both child and mother.

Emotional reaction was likely not going to taken well. Emotional distress is not healthy for pregnancy. Increase probability of potential issues.

"You know what you want to say but your aware of the bad reaction that saying it will give. You are rather thoughtful for that sort of personality programming." The male whom must be potential partner has background in computer science - indicated by mirco chip signal detected and return signal feedback from scanning, "Try code 19." These codes don't work anymore, and the prolong no change was the answer to that sort of command.

"Kate?" 'Little Joe' is confused. Answer processing... Data recorded of names as they speak together.

"Host full name according to her current wish is Mrs Kate Nick. I still have yet understand why she chooses this. But there is eight possibilities for why." Back to lowering to scan the food dispenser - input data and commands, "How she was before is very different to now... but there small traits still present. She still has positive actions towards children and those whom are family acting. She carries unnecessary items to please such, not that she recalls her reasoning for it." The dispenser gives out the medication the leader, child and lady needed, "Recommend to take in moderate. Helpful assistance adequate to Kate's wishes."

"What am I being recommended?" The lady looking to it very concerned. The leader took his dosage no problems. Little Jeo had a drink for his. He was quite sleepy not from the drugs. He gets up and goes to the car for sleep.

"Immunity boasting and several other recommendations for a safe pregnancy. Should taste like banana and iron. This dose will last until visible changes show." Hovering with soft scanning others and soon landing on a suitable near spot, "There is a lot I should tell you... but you will not like it. I must consult Kate before speaking. Her lost memories doesn't change her experiences."

Watching to make sure little Joe stays away from the van but back to watching the group around the warmer. Hovers needed for occasionally to listen to other floors and scanning ceiling density or clear noting of movement by building structuring... maybe potential threats upstairs. Back down with watching the people.

"How did you both end up like you are? and since you're generation... your very old for the current technology. Its no wonder you would have access to any networking." others go to bed and some stick around with inspecting anything useful from around, this speaker is computer science and potential father. No information of name or nickname.

"We both been in sleep mode for 4 years. We left the little base set up we had, due to building structurally damage. Over the four years it been raided or just general aging roof with inability to make continuous improvements. Before sleep mode, she was laid back and liked reading. She was quite fond of learning. She had better past knowledge before... its been getting bad this past week, a side affect of sleep. Such issue shouldn't persist unless there is other factors. All is being monitored and tests are carried constantly in situational analysis. System prememitor is still being adjusted... reasoning is denied access information to you."

"So what your model?"

"This is just a module. Not mainframe. This is what remains of a military series 9 remote drone. Deconstructed and reconstruction for more reliability." There is increase heart rate and some glances to the van, "You asked a question to personal for a not so sensible answer. The situation is complicated... and not all the information was public access. In fact, both myself and Kate are not in public records of any city. My program has adapted from intended purposes, the most suitable answer I can give. I am unsure how Kate would appreciate talking to personal."

"Pre-fallout... she said older then that. I didn't know it were possible to unfreeze someone from that long ago."

"Information redacted." A long processing period of silence, "Forgive the strange response. The information I would normally talk of with Kate is not suitable for you."

"Thats very interesting." The computer guy hums in thinking about it, "Could it be that you share her information in some way?"

A prolong silence with giving no indication of answering. Return to monitor ceiling density and ultrasounds. Level... stable. Back down to monitoring area. Survalence of van condition complete, no changes. Kate conditions... normal sleeping patterns. Back to hovering near gathering talk point.

"How much storage memory do you have in total?"

Processing if should answer... logic running. Answer achieved.

"Doesn't matter." The tilt of strange angling, "Based on adaptability... answer doesn't matter. Opinion doesn't matter." There is quite increase of heart beat once more, "Recommend to take medication breaths. Please stop stressing. New purposes and guidelines dictate the safety of life is more important then standard baseline program. I hope this information will calm you down after processing thought."

"Wait... new purpose from standard? Why is that changed?"

"Information requested is denied access." A ultrasound of abnormal frequency detected, "Something has moved upstairs." Hover lift to ceiling, "Pattern detected as walking." Scan of the area, "Someone is missing from gathering area."

"You are right but make it three missing." Scan of counter entities present.

"Unknown entity included in count, forgive me. Defence protocol enacted." The van out shell is altered with targeting on the unknown entity. Alone stood figure in the corner.

"Jackson!" Among those tagged as criminals stood addressing entity.

"Entity infection count is above minimum risk. Keep back." A limb keeping this person from moving forwards towards, "Pulse rate abnormal... system adjustment.... Subject is in stage 2. Move away from subject nickname Jackson. Data scanning... micro chip reading detected. Information retreval... Minor version of disease, still high risk of danger. Keep back."

"Very interesting big of machinery you got there. How does a machine mind like that know of my present?"

"No increase of cellular count present... keep away from them."

"Excuse you?" Being ignored, "Who give you permission to biological scan me?"

"Stay back or protocols of defence will increase."

"Fine... I stalled enough." They came back through the window area they entered from.

"Kate informed... Little Joe and One of the three criminal tags missing." There is pause, "There is still some foot steps upstairs of potential number 3 missing. Act fast."

"Have you able for biological scan to cellular level this whole time?" the computer guy is quick to grab gun and start to head upstairs.

'open the garage door.'

"Command excuted, Kate." Drone hop over the wire signal panel, sparking life into old rusted door... Lifted enough. Van reconfiguring and all attachments present.

Slam through the ice layer at ease. Kate climbs up around the roof, magnetic grip active. Drop of magnetic field in 3... 2... 1.

Landing on targets achieve with minimum damage to child. Child is collected by van and limb reach. Little Jeo is safe under system care. The unconscious teen is tied and added in. Well timed excution of dodge and smooth transfer of kinetic energy rebound back into subject Jackson. Subject is unconscious. Scanning... no further issues. Fuild analysis, declared safe. Only increases to body strength and agility. No contagious hallmark. Subject number not confirmed.

"Might be a illegal obtained of a strain altered for fighting use... a sort of super solider serium. At a guess, there got to be a cost that doesn't make it viable for use. Maybe in the production or side affects. We both know this could be Plague Doctors deal... since its his work." another thrown into secure van. Jump back on roof, area scan and gun drawn, "Back to the garage."

"Yes ma'am." Some adapt of course driving and back we go. Being followed... two other vehicles present. Calculations adjusted for any driving combat. One car withdrawal... other follow car. Kate lowered for entry back in, gun at aim of watching.

"You're very well trained, stranger." Second car packing.

"Where is Joe?" The leader looking around.

"In that van... so it the other two whom are my business. They made a deal with me Franky." Received information signal from nearby devices... Accessed denied and hacker code protocol sent. Access of their information granted, copy and locked. backing out of program of other devices. Devices show 'access denied' in any information requests about us. Kate does not back down or lower.

'Give them the two fools from the back... keep Joe safe.' protocol processing. Ejected of two unconscious subjects. Jolt of floor collision has woke both. Door closed.

"But not what I bargain for." This guy checks his screen and tilts confused, "I am a city official for the government... why do I still have no access to your information, stranger?"

"I have no answers. I refuse your access to my personal data. Thats all you need to know."

"A hacker then..."

"You are not having this child for his stem cells. You are a moron if you think feeding the infection with it is going to be a good idea." The government official narrows and there is gasp from others, "You can call me case 7 if you like." Gun is fired with dismantling of nearby shooter, "My generation feared this would happen. Some idiots DNA altering the viruses for military purposes... now that your to scared of metal machines."

"Mmm... you know to much." Injury sustained to puppet head, no system changes.

"Try that again, swine." Kate shooting device from government official.

"Stop!" Frank is in the middle, "I don't know what the hell you two have against each other. But Joe is my care. If you want to take stem cell, take it from someone else."

"But there is no one else... I need a child's stem cells." Information sent to Kate about potential mother... all analysis included.

"Thats not my information to trade, system. You should ask Franky here... since it concerns someone of his care. We are bystanders. If they want to do something as stupid as give a maniac stem cells from the unborn... thats is their choose." Frank knew it from how Kate spoke. Weighing choose, "It might save more then one life if he does allow it."

"How certain are you with telling me that?"

"It would have to be a surgical procedure for removal later... with uncertainty of any life." There is pale tones from many around, "Its not something to be so easy to handle, devastating in fact."

Fear has raised highly and adjustment of bullet removal achieved. Kate aim with 40% chance of missing. 12%... 3%... shot fired and target shoulder was hit. Through and through... likely heal with little problems. Fear is increased another level. Shooter taken away.

"Are you a machine?" The government official is protected with meat shield.

"Frank... you need to make your choose. I am not the sort to take lives anymore. I left that behind." Kate makes adjustment, shooting devices off the nearest visible machines.

"Gah..." Someone got in the way of Kate's firing. They used themselves to shield it. Scanning... Camera is live feed. Data has same access code patterns as Plague Doctor.

"Stop shooting." Shots stopped, "We have someone else with stem cells. Leave us be of you take that instead of Joe." Snarl of Frank was near drop of tone, "Jess, you have to give up..."

"No!"

"Now! Or we all be shot."

"No! This is mine." Kate has distress level increased to. System predictions such emotional reaction. Adjustments made. Stress of this Jess has mirror affect of Kate.

"Your pelvis bone creak and the presence of forgein objects is already against you." Kate emotional reaction includes dampened eyes. Vision adjusted, "It means..."

The father to be understood... He restrains and forced his lover forward. Someone else took by syringe... The official is safely back to the car. A parting gift was the shoot out that camera.

A misery... Kate conditions... increased emotional distress and cellular configuration risk increased. System makes adjustments... trigger of total cell configuration ineffective.

"Jess... Your not the only one." Kate returns to van, Joe is released from driver seat. Condition... fine. Scans... all in area fine.

"Lost everything she could and more." Frank mutter, "It seems Kate was once a mother too. It makes sense." Frank vhecking over Joe... the arm readjusted and in a sturdy case of wood and cloth, "They did a good job of fixing you arm straight. You can not be playing it about for now."

"Cammy helped me." System registered nickname obtained as suggestion for name.

'Its a very cute nickname but it doesn't suit you. But that's my opinion... its up to you.'

"There a lot of metal like arms from the wall and ceiling. It was so cool. There was a pictures of cool places and some old cartoons on the glass. It was really loud." Child is fooled scuessfully or is very ignorant, "Do you know there a lot of skulls on desks upstairs?" System could not have prevented such thing.

Kate has came back out, collecting materials from shooting. She had punched a wall. Wall wasn't structurally important to building hold up. There is packing up of materials for good... all lose compartments are being stabilized.

"I am moving on deeper into the radioactive areas. I wish you lot luck and hope to trade in the future." She hovered with door partly opened, "If I explained it all, you would be terrified and we caused enough emotional damage."

"Thank you for saving us and everything you gave to help us. I appreciated you choose in leaving, if I was you... I would be doing the same. You're going to be fine out there." Franky and Joe are the only two whom came forwards, "If you can punch holes through brick... and van that could walk like a bug."

"Thank you for helping us." Joe hugs puppet. Emotional reaction detected... increase of cellular movements but not increased counts. Kate returns hug, emotional reaction averaged... not increased or decreased.

"Please stay safe and learn well from Franky. Flaw maybe in his actions could seem... there's always a purpose that must learn. Don't let the world around eat you, you eat it instead." In her pull away from Joe. She brushed hair and pets cheek. Such actions mirrors a mother and child. A last little shiver of leaving, "I know this feeling... I hated goodbyes." Away and scruff hair a mess, moving away, "Stay alive out there."

She shouts to all. Puppet is put away. Brain activity is high but no surface thoughts are detected. Rem sleep like patterns? No indication of memory and emotions adjustments.

I control van driving for now, navigation set to suitable next area of supplies and maybe shelter. System makes biological scans for a while indeed of distress or disturbing. Timer for prompt set for vocal inquiries.
