| Phantron couldn't get rid of her fear... and that trouble her... Phantron: "I... I can't shake the feeling that I met with something dangerous out there... but what troubles me is that... it seems as if the threat wasn't coming from outside... but from inside..." Phantron's original self couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't afford her nice self to suspect something! She prompty hid those details from her nice self's memory. Phantron's eyes seemed to flash and... Phantron: "Huh? What? What were you saying? I just... phased out... for some reason." |

| Squinting slightly, Snipes wondered how Phantron could have just forgotten what had happened. Sighing inwardly slightly, Snipes reiterated what Phantron had been saying. "You been talking about how you'd been ashamed of yourself because you had feared something and then found out it was nothing at all, and I'd told you that you didn't need to be ashamed for trying to alleviate those fears. Then you'd been saying that you couldn't shake the feeling that you'd met something dangerous back in the mine, but it had not come from an external source, but from yourself. Phantron, I have to be honest. I think you're bipolar and your subordinate self is influencing your active self, the one I'm talking to, in a bad way. A very bad way." |

| ooc: Thank God, I thought this thread was doomed to sink to the deep dark bottom of the Story Forum. I thought I might as well have an antagonist for my character too. He is mostly mechanized and shouldn't be vulnerable to the virus that is making Phantron want to kill every one. About ten to fifteen feet from where Phantron was standing an odd looking teleporter opened and a strange life form in futuristic armor stepped out. He was a Protoss Warrior in tan armor. (Picture on the left of my Signature) ???: Where has he gone? No human can avoid my wrath for long. Vincent will soon meet his fate. And then Levi'athen will find his brother and all hope for their people will be lost. When he spoke it was in an alien tongue, but it was translated through a machine in his armor that would allow any one listening to understand him, and him to understand any one who spoke a different language than him. Finally taking note of the others presence he simply glances in their direction then begins looking for signs of his prey. However he could sense something foul. Something unnatural. He thought about teleporting away but then it occurred to him. It was Vincent. It had to be, trying to scare him away. So putting in the co-ordinates he teleported into the mine...

| OOC: Ah-hah! The Darkflight has returned! I was a tad worried there, for a while...but now we can continue! Oh, yeah, and Possessed? Protoss warrior? Niiiiiiiiiice. ----- At the edge of the jungle, Kyle and Blue were shocked to hear that some being was hunting for them and everyone they knew. Kyle: It must be that golden robot we encountered back at the mine...the one we escaped from. Blue: Why does it want to come after us, though? Kyle: Hmm...It said something about some air pirates...the robot was after them, and everyone that interacts with them...by entering the mine, we must have gotten on its hate list. Blue: Pah, it's just a robot, it's nothing to worry about. Hey, wait, Vincent - you entered that mine, too, so that robot's probably coming after you! Well, now I guess you have to stick with us... Kyle: Before we say any more, how do you know my name, Vincent? --- At the southern edge of the island, three flying figures finally landed their hoverboards after a long journey across an ocean, yawning with sleepiness. Spaky: What a boring trip! How long ago did we leave the arenas? Two days ago? Speeky: Don't talk like that, Spaky. If that really was a distress signal, then our trip would be worth it. Spiky: Uh, guys, which one of you brought the fuel tank thingie? Spaky: That was you. Remember? Spiky: Oh...I was afraid of that... Speeky: What do you mean? Spiky: I - I...I don't have it. Spaky: YOU LOST IT?! Now we're stuck on this island!!! Speeky: I'm sure there are many other ways to get out of here, Spaky, so don't worry. Now let's head to that spot that the signal came from. I think I see something in the distance, maybe only a days' walk. Spiky: I hope we don't see any monsters... |

| Phantron stared at Snipes... Phantron: "So... you believe I may be bipolar? Hm..." Phantron closed her eyes and ran system scans... to see if it was possible for her to have split personality. Of course, her true self hid the details about "Soul Resonance" and "Dynamic Self-Reprogramming". Phantron opened her eyes. Phantron: "Snipes... I ran internal tests and... my CPU doesn't support bipolar personalities... and yet, I trust you. Something must be tampering with my CPU or I must have some serious bugs..." Phantron turned toward the rest of the island. Phantron: "I wonder if there are people who could help me..." Suddenly, her original self inserted a tought... Phantron: "Hm... maybe there could be inhabitants somewhere on this island that could help me? What do you say if we begin searching for mechanics?... and that we start with the jungle region of the island?" |

| "Sounds good. About The CPU, most CPU's can run background tasks. There should not be anything about an inability to run a bipolar personality, there's no difference between that and the tasks that monitor, say, your fusion reactor if you have one. By the way, I'm not here to simply tell you what's wrong. I can help you as well." With that, Snipes turned towards the jungle and beganwalking slowly, not getting too far from Phantron. |

| Phantron turned to Snipes as she flied toward the jungle... Phantron: "But... it's not that simple in my case... you see... I am equipped with an experimental "Soul" system which allows a mere AI to evolve into a full-fledged free-willed being. You see... creating an AI is easy... but for an AI to evolve into a soul, it require HUGE amounts of thinking and will as the AI is progressively unbound to it's programs and becomes the master of it's body, unstead of it's slave. It is a long process that only few AIs could reach in the past... and my CPU creates AIs that already evolve as soon as they're born and creating a soul is... complicated." Phantron slowed down... Phantron: "It's... very complicated. In fact... I'm not even sure if you can understand... altought I believe you can. You see... I was given a... gender polarity. I do not know what it is... but I was told that whenever an AI evolve into a soul, they gain several new features... and gender polarity is among them." Phantron... blushed?!? Phantron: "It may seem weird but... I... I felt that... you had an opposite gender polarity... for some reason. It may have been a malfunction but... well, I also detected a lot of things with it so... I believe that you may either be an evolved AI or a being that, like me, was born with a soul..." Phantron suddenly realised she had slowed down drastically! Phantron: "Oops! I'm sorry..." Phantron also realised something! She had blushed! A robot blushing? What a very weird idea... Phantron: "Snipes... I don't know if technology where you come from is like that but... where I come from, mechanical beings and biological beings are very alike. I was supposed to be the next step... to be some kind of ladder that would cause the disappearance of biological and mechanical beings as a third, better type would be born from the fusion... and all that, despite the fact there's no biological componements in me. I have veins with blood in them... and yet, I have no flesh. I have a heart and nerves... but they're connected to a CPU, not a brain. You see what I mean?" Phantron realised she had slowed down so much that she was now just next to Snipes. Phantron: "Err... Looks like I slowed down... don't know why however... must have been a malfunction with my thrusters or something." |

| Snipes smiled. "Actually, I don't really know, as most of my thought processes were already insstalled on my system when the people who reactivated me did so. Because of that, No-one alive seems to know how I became intelligent, but I am. It's something I've always wondered about, but after a while I forgot about it. And the gender polarity, it is used to help forge an identity, giving you a tangible representation of yourself in respect to others. The third generatio- Hang on! What's that down there?!" As he had flown over the forest, Snipes spotted a limp form lying on the ground in the jungle, presumably injured. Slowing down, Snipes wondered why the figure was there. "Hey, there's something down there, and it looks like it could use our help!" Snipes flew down towards the thing, and as it came into view Snipes saw it was a velociorapter, wearing damaged armour. Landing, Snipes checked it's pulse. "It's still alive! I hope I can use a medpack on it!" Reaching into his backpack, Snipes pulled out a portable medpack and administered it to the dinosaur, then watched as it slowly regained conciousness. |

| Phantron stared at the velociraptor... Phantron: "It may be regaining consciousness... but it has many internal injuries. It will not survive long without an operation... and there's no one around who could operate him. Stand back Snipes..." Phantron closed her eyes... slowly, her armor begun to change color... and soon enough, she was encased in a sky-blue aura and was floating in the air... and that, even if her thrusters were not active! If one had the ability to hear sounds that are with an ultra-low volume, you would be able to decipher some kind of... incantation? Then suddenly, Phantron opened her eyes and yelled in an unknow voice. A pillar of green light surrounded the velociraptor and all internal damages disappeared... it's wounds closed all by itself... it's armor was restored... the broken systems repaired themselves... It was almost... magical... Then Phantron landed, back to normal. Phantron: "He will be OK now." Phantron then realised something... the power she just used... it had not been programmed into her... she had not been built with such a power... Where did this incredible power had came from?!? |

| Looking at Phantron with his mouth half-open, Snipes could not beleive what he had seen and heard. After all, with his auditory implants, he had heard the incantation as clear as daylight. "Wow. You never told me you could do that!" Turning back to the dinosaur, Snipes massaged it's wrist to try and wake it up faster. |

| Phantron looked shocked... but not by Snipes but rather, by herself. Phantron: "I... I didn't knew I could that do that too... I... I just seen that biological being damaged... and suddenly, an unknow program activated... my memory was filled with strange words which I can't understand and yet, I understood them all when I spoke them... but what felt the most weird was that surge of power... I felt my body rising into the air and I felt as if a strange energy which I could not identify flowing trought my veins... I don't know where this comes from... there's no records in my memory about ever having those powers or gaining them... this... Truly, this doesn't compute... at all..." Phantron stared at the dinosaur... |

| "Nothing ever really does, Phantron. Especially not when you really try to understand it. Ironic, but true." Snipes continued to massage the dino's wrist, and it began to make the torturus climb back to conciousness. |

| ooc: I was hoping to get some other characters to join my new character so I could form another group. _________________ Inside the cave Asha'man suddenly pick up a spike of power to the west, where he had noted a thick jungle region that was a likely hiding place that Vincent might decide to use. Putting the last shards of some shattered object in a small compartment in his armor he opened a teleporter to a place near where the power had been... _________________ Meanwhile VIncent was still with Blue and Kyle trying to figure out if he should trust them or not. Vincent: Well, Kyle I believe we share a mutual acquaintance. You battled him recently in a tournament battle. His name is Legault. I was there when the two of you went head to head...I hope you didn't have too much trouble in finding a new sword. Though it might have seemed that he was making fun of Kyle he sounded truly sincere in his slight concern and eerily lacking emotion. VIncent:There was a great serge of power a moment ago. Did either of you feel it. He began to silently reach out to his brother in hopes that he wasn't mixed up in whatever was going on... __________________ As Asha'man was in mid-process he suddenly got a strange feeling. He usually got it when he had Vincent cornered...right before some one would come and rescure his prey once again, in a futile attempt to save Vincent's life. Fortunately he could also use it to his advantage. Suddenly changing co-ordinates he sent himself to Vincent's exact location. Give or take a couple yards... |

| OOC: I hope I'll be able to keep up with you two using Cyberaptor, Zerodius and Darkflight... ----- Blue looked with astonishment from Kyle to Vincent, and to Kyle again. Blue: Whoa, Kyle, you fight in a tournament? Kyle: Yeah, Blue. Blue: That's neat...I have to see that place, someday. Kyle: So, Vincent, you know Xzavien? He was a cool guy...he fought well, and was pretty fair too. Kyle paused for a moment when Vincent mentioned the power spike. Blue:...? Kyle: I didn't feel anything. Blue: Neither did I......but I see something!!! Blue pointed his wing toward Asha'man, who had just teleported to the side of them! --- A few miles ahead, Cyberaptor slowly stirred in place. If Phantron had thoroughly noted Cyberaptor's injuries before she healed him, she would have found that the only damage he had taken was from his fall, and a few scratches and bruises from his previous fight. However, his helmet was COMPLETELY melted, and steamed incredibly... in a few minutes, Cyberaptor regained consciousness. The dinosaur stared around confusedly at Phantron and Snipes...but showed no sign of recognition. Cyberaptor rolled over, and laboriously lifted himself up to his full height. After this, he was aware of a burning sensation on his head, and promptly removed his helmet, letting loose a torrent of orange and red smoke that disappeared into the air. Cyberaptor dismally tossed his helmet to the ground, and used his antenna on his computer pack to scan the helmet, transforming it from matter to data, which was then stored inside of his computer. One second later, his antenna reversed this process, and created a new helmet just like the old one. Cyberaptor fit it on his head, and then regarded Snipes and Phantron. Cyberaptor: You two...did you heal me, just a while ago? |

| ooc: Dont' worry, Snipes doesn't leave people in the dust when he doesn't need to. Snipes looked at Cyberaptor with a hint of surprise; he hadn't expected him to have a computer backpack, but then again he wouldn't have know from how cyberaptor was lying on the ground. "Yea, when Phantron and I found you, you looked pretty shaken up. Did you get in a fight or something, because we found you out cold with a few bruises. You think you can walk?" With that, Snipes got up and pointed into the forest. "We were on our way there, to look for any inhabitants of the isalnd, or anything tht could lead us to a clue. What were you doing here?" |

| Cyberaptor thought hard about Snipes's question. Cyberaptor: I...I cannot remember...my mission. I seem to be suffering from amnesia. Perhaps a concussion triggered this... Cyberaptor felt his head with his claw. Cyberaptor: No, that couldn't be it...wait a moment. Cyberaptor pressed a button to start up his computer, but Computer didn't respond. Cyberaptor: My armor is still functional, but Computer seems to be dead. I'll need to repair him manually. Cyberaptor continued to search around his armor. Cyberaptor: With Computer out of order, my teleporter will not work, and all back-up memories are inaccessible. You may conserve your medpacks, I have my own auto-repair system. At Cyberaptor's word, many small mechanical arms came out of Cyberaptor's pack, and began making necessary repairs. Cyberaptor: I estimate a few days will be needed to restore Computer - whatever force it was that disabled him, it was a very strong one...but I will need to wait, before I can remember exactly what it was. Cyberaptor realized that he might have been wasting Phantron and Snipes's time, and quit his pondering. Cyberaptor: I thank you for your assistance. Now, you mentioned you were heading further into the jungle? Cyberaptor looked through the trees, and then up in the air. For one second, he thought that he saw the image of a kind of blimp...at it was important to him for some reason. Cyberaptor: ...I believe that I, too, was here, searching for someone...though I cannot remember whom. I only have vague memories...about a blimp and an energy signal...and fire...I do not know what these mean, though. Cyberaptor thought for a moment. Cyberaptor: Perhaps I can assist you, to repay you for saving me? What do you say? |

| Phantron turns to Snipes. Phantron: "Upon analysis, there are 95% chances this biological being may be of use to us. I believe that this means we should take him along... well, I think. You have anything against that?" Phantron smiled. She doubted Snipes would refuse Cyberaptor's help. |

| Snipes smiled back. "I think that would be a great idea. All I'm going to ask is that we all work together. About your computer though, I might be able to help. I have a good background in computer work, and I do have the tools I'd need here to repair it. What do you say? You actually haven't even told us your name yet, though." |

| Cyberaptor: My name? That is...I am known as Cyberaptor. Cyberaptor looked at Snipes's medpacks. Cyberaptor: You could attempt to repair my computer, although it may be a bit advanced...I was personally designed by Profound Idea, who is quite possibly the greatest computer that ever existed. And yes, I said designed - I'm not all biological. Cyberaptor coughed suddenly. Cyberaptor: Well, I've still got enough biological parts in me to crave thirst. I'm a bit dehydrated, now, and all of my water tanks have been mysteriously drained...before I can help any of you, I'm going to need to get my fill. The antenna on Cyberaptor's pack started rotating quickly. Cyberaptor: I detect a water source 1.4 miles from here, due North West. I must head there, for now. You can follow, if you like. Cyberaptor turned his direction, and pushed off into the deep bushes, burning a path with an energy gun. (edited by CheesePie on 07-14-05 07:00 PM) |

| Phantron: "Profound Idea?!?" For some reason, this name triggered a memory within her... Phantron opened her mouth, revealing some kind of high-tech auto-gun. Phantron took aim at Cyberaptor... and stood there... Phantron *voice muffled since the weapon platform is in her mouth*: "Why... why did this program activated when I heard he was created by Profound Idea?" The auto-gun disappeared from Phantron's mouth. She stood there for a second, staring at Cyberaptor, not understanding why she had such a reaction. Phantron: "I... I have the impression I have no control over my body... what kind of CPU is mine if it cannot control this body, if independant programs controls it?!?" Phantron felt ashamed of herself... |
