Yay for lashing out at authority just cause it hasn't given us the whole picture yet. Enjoy your crazy unfettered killbeast, Command.

Hey! Guys! You're back!

I think everything is working! Something exploded somewhere. The lights flickered and I woke up in the cage! I uh! I think I have another chance to get out!

Hi! What do you know about your sisters?

>Something exploded somewhere.
Yeah, we just talked with your crazy sister, and turned off the nullifiers that command can use to knock you guys out. The explosion was almost definitely her wrecking havoc.

Oh, yeah, you have sisters by the way. There are four of you. Oh speaking of them, let's see where they are, now.

>>Vixie: 1B

I remember a little more than last time we talked, I remember my sisters.

Lexie and Galaxie were my friends. Galaxie was like an older sister that took care of us.

Vixie tried to kill me, and so she had to go away. She said she was going to eat me! She said she was going to kill everybody and eat all of us! It made me really scared!

Well, that's not cool. We'll have to keep her under wraps.

You forgot hacking brackets.

And why target Lexie? She's supposedly harmless, like Dixie. Presumably, we either want to shut down Vixie cause she's crazy and almost to the surface, or Galaxie, if we side against command.

Yeah, bad news Dixie. Sorry, but it was Vixie we let out.

That's not the right floor, B3 isn't a floor listing.

You want

Actually, that's still wrong. You forgot the x in N7x.

>>Enable all N7x on 1B
>>password 6TkhLhmtMssmyThesrJbf9nu

That stops Vixie from reaching the surface, at least. We can decide whether we let the subjects escape after we squeeze more intel out of command.

Wait, did Vixie say she was going to eat you, or that she was going to eat you out? It's a very important distinction.

She tried to kill me! Vixie is Crazy!

So, uh, can we leave? Are you guys still going to help me get out?

Well great, we've lost N7x access. Nice move dropping the hacking prompts. -_-

Yeah, we'll help you Dixie. First though, you need to visit R&D A on this floor to talk to someone for us. We want to know what the hell is going on.

Apparently Galaxie trusts the guy in there, so if you're cool with her, it should be good.

I leave. Galaxie is waiting for me outside. I go with her to the room she leads me to.

Inside is a chair that I sit down on, and a table that Galaxie sits on.

I hear a voice come from speakers in the room.

"Dixie, do you remember me? Also, hello, Operators. I am Command and Control. My purpose is to protect human life, a purpose at which I feel I am not accomplishing. I will not mince words, I wish for all of the experimental creatures to be returned here and to never leave. Any alternative creates massive loss of life for the innocent civilians outside. Perhaps we can work together."

The thing is Dixie here is just as innocent as the civilians as your protecting. Doesn't she deserve that same freedom to live her life as they do? Instead of locking them away give them the ability to choose. They alal could turn their strengths to benefit instead of the destruction they seem to be built for. As for Vixie she would need to be stopped of course... but she too deserves the chance to live.

>>444614
...whoops. Totally buggered that up.

>>444633
Yeah. Maybe. Vixie's a problem though. We need to take care of her before she kills you and everyone else in this facility then gets out and kills huge swaths of civvies. Transfer us over to her so we can get her shot up a bunch, please.

Dixie, mind giving us access to N7 back? I don't think C&C here will take kindly to our plan. Plus I suspect we just knocked out Lexie unintentionally instead of Vixie.

Why would the ones other than Vixie cause so much damage?

And for that matter, how is 'preserving human life' compatible with building autonomous weapons systems?

"The Subjects are innocent, but they are too dangerous. It's unfortunate, but true. Should they choose at any point in the future to turn their abilities to violent ends, the deaths would be extraordinary.

The purpose of the Subjects was noble - they were intended to be protectors - but no one associated with the project is still living. The attackers used nerve gas and EMP weapons to eliminate the scientists and many of the automated defenses. All of the Nullifiers above Basement 7 are inactive, although the sturdier defense turrets are mostly operational.

I cannot really control you or 'give you access' to anyone.

Vixie must be dealt with, and I cannot do it. I fear that Galaxie alone also would be incapable of destroying her. Please tell Dixie to wear the necklace Galaxie is giving her. I will return access to you for N7a3772, which is attached to the necklace. Then I suggest Galaxie and Dixie ... disable their sister. I strongly encourage you to do the right thing once she has been disabled."

Galaxie is holding me a thing out.

Galaxie is holding up something to help the both of you kill Vixie... afterwords he wants you to stay here. Hes worried that ultimately despite your good intentions you will kill people. I disagree but its up to you.

>>444644
Alright, take the thing and wear it.

Command, what are Dixie and Galaxie's current abilities? What do the nullifiers do exactly, anyway? Where did WE come from? Lastly, will you stop whining at us for killing the invaders? They are obviously not good men.

Can you tell us what we are? We obviously have access to your networks, but we don't really remember anything before Dixie's escape attempt.

If the subjects are to be contained, could we improve things for them at all? I mean, being locked up and afraid isn't good, and I'm leery of the "conditioning" you mentioned earlier. Just what will happen to them, once they are secure?

Dixie, you could overhear our conversation with command, yes?

He's worried you will kill people, so put on that necklace right away and it will make you kill people. That will solve everybody's problems. We can't force you to kill anyone unless you put it on though, so of course you can tell what you should do with it.

>>444644
Wait, you're telling us this skunkworks shit was so deep nobody outside the facility even knew about it?

I'm calling bullshit. Even if everybody working on the project were all killed, there would still have to be survivors outside. Research is valuable, and newly applied research is low-hanging fruit. Scientists in the right fields could come in and reconstruct the project rather quickly.
Plus I can't imagine the data backups not being shielded from EMPs; even a simple a steel box would do that.

So what aren't you telling us?

All of the Subjects possess extreme speed, strength and resiliance, as well as energy barriers that protect them from projectiles. Both are capable of producing deadly airborne compounds, although they are immune to them. They have paralytic hairs centered in their tails, although they are immune to the effects. All can project energy from their mouths. Galaxie is capable of flight. Dixie can, with direct access, substantially alter and affect computer systems. The nullifiers produce a certain feild around them that interferes with the brain functions of the Subjects, knocking them unconscious, although it does not effect normal humans.

The people in the facility were all killed in an attack on the facility, I suspect the situation outside is similar. The people invading are not associated with the organization I am a product of. I don't know what the situation outside is like. I will shut down the facility, seal it, and wait until someone with proper access arrives.

As to who you are, I have no idea. After the initial assault, Dixie escaped, and I had no resources active on her floor to recapture her. When she made contact with you, I felt it most reasonable to attempt to acquire your assistance, although I was only able to communicate in short messages."

He doesn't want me to kill people. Why would the necklace make me kill people? I am going to put it on I guess. Yeah, I can hear what you're both saying. I don't want to kill anybody, but I don't want to stay here either. I don't know. I don't want to fight Vixie, but I don't want her to kill Lexie or Galaxie or anybody else either.

>>444681
Redirect her appetite for violence towards sex? Probably infeasible and I doubt any of you would be willing to satisfy her cravings, but that's another possibility.

>I felt it most reasonable to attempt to acquire your assistance
Yeah, sorry we weren't so cooperative there, Command. Dixie asked for our help first, and your requests didn't immediately seem good for her well being. That, and we assumed the humans were base security, and in that light, your deployment of them made little sense, and made us suspect deceit.

That and we're not a singular entity. We have coordination issues.

Your overall plan has a problem though. You can't turtle up here with the subjects safely quarantined with enemy forces in house. Especially if they're here to either destroy or capture the subjects. You need a way to either repel the invaders, or get the subjects away from them.

What happens when we activate this necklace nullifier? Does it target Vixie, or any subject in range?

Dixie... let's just start out by stopping Vixie from going on a killing spree for now. We'll decide what else to do afterwards.

Galaxie's not very talkative, is she?

>>444681
Ok, if you don't know who these people are then the best route to take is to capture and interrogate one.
That will allow us to acquire more information about who they are and what they are trying to accomplish here.

Following that we will determine the proper course of action, then make contact with Vixie. Retrieving Lexie will occur once the situation here is resolved.

Your choice Dixie. We'll try to help walk you through it, whatever it is. Try not to fiddle with that necklace too much your you might substantially alter it! Galaxie is effectively who's been talking to us and using the loudspeakers to speak right now. She'd probably prefer to be called Command and Control. Apparantly there's trouble on the surface, and what she wants to do is close all the doors and hide until it passes over. Some of the doors aren't closed now so it's up to you to close them to keep the humans from breaking in, coming down, and getting killed more.

But Vixie will probably try to just kill them, so you might have to hurt her in order to keep her from leaving. Oh shoot, but actually she's on the first floor, where the nullifiers are keeping you lot asleep! So the people there might try to capture her and accidentally take her out of the nullifier range to do experiments, and oh shoot that would be really bad. How are you going to save them from her though, if you can't go where nullifiers are without falling asleep?

The first thing you should do is try to jury rig some monitors to display the situation upstairs. Some cameras may still be working, a little bit. Then, contact the people who are breaking in from above, to convince them to go away. If they don't listen to you, then you just go wherever they're breaking in and make sure the doors won't open.

Are you an AI Command?

I want a special name...

Anyways Command I don't care if you were designed to preserve human life, being a human I cal tell you that our lives are highly over rated. Since the invaders are just that, invaders, they deserve die. Therefore I won't be aiding in any overly complex schemes to preserve their lives.

On the other hand I don't see any reason to aid any overly complex plans to kill them all. If we're confronted by enemies we'll kill them. But otherwise we'll let 'em be. Or at least that's my suggestion for dealing with the troopers.

As for vixie... everybody remembers he right? Good, I think it's safe to say that for the greater good vixie needs to be shut down and reprogrammed, if we can't reprogram her we kill her. In the meantime lets squeeze command for info and try to figure out who to support here.

For all we know the invaders are the good guys, so maybe we shouldn't kill them.

Command what were Dixie and her sisters designed to protect?

Alright. Hmm.

"The programming doesn't involve sex. Vixie is defective.

I understand. Given the situation, you were acting on what knowledge you had at the time. As long as you are willing to cooperate now, there isn't an issue.

I can seal the base and prevent access to the lower levels, however, I must secure the subjects first. Nullifiers only affect an area very close to them, at a range of perhaps two or three feet."

Galaxie can't hear what you guys are saying. Just me and Command and Control. Galxie, they asked why you weren't saying much.

"I don't have especially anything to say, at the moment. I'm just waiting for us to go upstairs and stop Vixie. Whenever you're done here."

Galaxie hasn't been talking through the loudspeakers. Oh and Command and Control already said that all the nullifiers on everything above B7 are knocked out. So, we don't have to worry about that.

"Yes, I am an artificial intelligence designed to assist in the operation of the facility, and react if a disaster situation occurs. I am doing that currently to the best of my ability.

The soldiers invading are certainly following the orders of their superiors. I hold them no ill will, but do not wish for their superiors to have access to this facility. Some will inevitably be trapped on the lower levels when I seal them off, but I cannot prevent this. Dixie and her sisters are designed to operate as a capable, sentient response force. A powerful symbol of technological superiority and military strength designed to prevent violent response."


Guys. I think you're right. I'm ready to go upstairs with Galaxie if you're done talking with Command and Control.

Aw shit. Lexie's being chased by Vixie. We need to get up there fast. I wish the nullifiers up there were working.

......military and technological superiority is pink and yellow? So much about these girl's existence doesn't make sense.

Anyway I say we just get on with the show and keep an eye out for officers of the invading troops, maybe have Dixie capture a live one for interrogation. Judging from commands information Vixie will probably have to be destroyed.

anyway all the questions I want answered have been, what do you gusy want to do?

Lexie and Vixie are having all the fun together! We don't wanna be left out at all! Let's go have fun with them together, as a family.

...hmm. Assuming we get the nullifier on Vixie, how are the other two supposed to get close enough to move her without being affected themselves?

Take some rope, Dixie. We'll have to drag her back.

If you run into soldiers, remember to target weapons and not people to avoid killing them. Your tails are also apparently a non-lethal weapon. And you're bullet proof, although we don't know how much yet.

Vixie and Lexie are both on 4B. Time to find an elevator, or start running up stairs.

Getting close to her would be a bad idea, so use your breath weapons.

That was your sister wasn't it? I think this one needs to be put down. Both of you plasma breath now. It won't hurt her but it should blind and disorient her. Galaxie fly up, Dixie circle around her. While Dixie holds her attention Galaxie needs to crash into her then hold her down so Dixie can get that nullifier on her.

Vixie you cold hearted bitch. Dixie just do as Redaeth says. Vixie needs to die so that you can live. Forget about not wanting to be a killer Vixie WILL kill you and a whole lot of other innocent people.

Also, seriously what the hell command. Why didn't you terminate vixie before she ever got this far? I'll take my share of the blame for helping her get loose, but seriously, psychosis on this level needs to be eliminated with maximum prejudice.

>>444749

Actually, how good is your aim? If the nullifiers have a range of two or three feet, you might be able to throw one from here (or drop one from above) and have it land close enough to her.

Whatever you do, I think your top priority right now is stopping Vixie.

I dunno, Vixie seems like she's pretty legit. Why don't you let your guard down and approach her? She's your sister, right? I mean, maybe you don't know the whole story and Lexie was the bad guy here! Make nice. Maybe you should kiss her so she knows all's okay.

All you need to do is get close to her, and grab on. As soon as you're close enough, we'll turn on your necklace, and it's knock the two of you out so she can't hurt anyone else. Then Galaxie can get work out a way to get the two of you somewhere safe.

It is nothing less than a crime against nature. Now she's coming for you. I want you to get mad, I want you to get anfry and I want you to do your very best to kill Vixie, if not for your own sake then for your sisters'.

Don't even bother with your breath, You and Galaxie need to tackle her, and beat the living tar our of her, she's as strong as both of you and nuttier than a squirrel, so beat the living tar out of her with whateve ryou have on hand, see if you can grab a pipe or something.

We're activating the necklace. It will put both you and her to sleep, for as long as it's near the both of you. I suggest taking it off and getting it attached to Vixie somehow before you pass out. Do not let her get away regardless. Also tell Galaxie that it's armed so she knows to avoid the vicinity.

Let them both live. Can you even touch the thing without it getting you too? Maybe get a broom and shove them into a closet. Maybe pose them in scandalous positions for a bit. I don't think Vixie's done anything worth killing her over. Look, you have to admit it, she's probably the best sister of all of you.

What even happens now that this is taken care of?

...we'd appreciate it if you didn't kill Dixie. She trusts you, you know.

Vixie, meh. Your call. We have insufficient data. If you've got a way to fix her, take her in. Otherwise, you're probably better off with her dead than locked up with her waiting for her to break free and go bloody rampage again.

Why would you kill Dixie? She is innocent and you can probably convince her to join you with minimal effort.

You should definitely kill Vixie though. We already let her live once and she responded by breaking out with an intent to kill everyone.

Yeah, no. I Think Killing Vixie is the only way to go here. Make it painless at least, if you can. Don't even joke again about killing Dixie.

I'd be pretty pissed if your kille Dixie, Galaxie. She trusts you and I'm pretty sure she loves you, you're her only remaining sibling now you know that right? Killing someone who trusts you is a pretty low thing to do.

As for for Vixie? Please kill her, for the good of everyone involved. I'd like it if you tore her head off and destroyed her remains, see if you can keep some samples of both her and Lexie. Just because Vixie is nuts doesn't mean you can't develop a new sibling from her remains.

So yeah, kill Vixie, Leave Dixie Alone.

You're clearly possessed of morality and intelligence, unlike Vixie. Therefore you deserve to live. Why are you going quietly into the night? Life is a precious thing, you only get one life and command wants to take that away from you and your sister. The people of this omplex gave you life, command helped give you life. Therefore command has a responsability to preserve your life and guide you through the world and help you live life to the fullest.

Command isn't doing this, you should ignore him from now on and listen to us (the sane members of our collective anyway.) We'll take good care of you girl, but you have to ignore command from now on and try to survive if we're going to help you.

Convince me that there's some reason we shouldn't all die. We're super dangerous. We're mentally and emotionally stunted, and there is no legitimate place for us in the outside world.

Can we please try and salvage some of this family?

Props to redaeth for trying to put the kibosh on the self destruct.

You're a majestic pony with a majestic ass.

That's good enough of a reason.

>>444894
Let me tell you what it means to be human Galaxie. You are born, if you are lucky you are born into privilige and you have a decent shot at going somewhere with your life, you're given a chance to make something of yourself and whatever education you get overtime, you can use your wealth for enjoyment and the world is full of possibilities. You might even live in a part of the world with a stable society where you can live out your life of privilige free of danger with servants waiting at your beck and call.

If you aren't, you're born into a dangerous country and all the money in the world can't protect you. If you make the wrong move, back the wrong political movement you wind up dead, but if you're priviliged at least your decisions matter while you last.

If you're really unlusky you're born into a position where nothing you do will ever matter and you're destined to die, with no one ever having known you existed and with nothing to show for your efforts,

You said you didn't know if you were dangerous or not, then you said you were super dangerous. You don't actually seem all that sure about yourself. Was there ever anything or anyone you cared about? I'm guessing there was, but then he/she/it was destroyed, hence your current facade of disinterest and disillusionment.

You tell us. Why did you care? Why don't you anymore?

It's not that you shouldn't all die. It's just not your place to say whether Dixie should die or not. Not our place, not yours, not C&C. She's messed up it's true, but she's honestly trying to improve, be a good person and live peacefully. She may live in fear, or even self terminate from the stress of living on the surface, but maybe she wants to do that instead of die in here alone. Who here could know what she wants better than herself? Vixie pretty much implicitly agreed with you to die by taking out Lexie early, and you can do whatever you like with her. But Dixie I don't think you want to drag down into death. It just wouldn't be right.

And maybe you need some insurance, in case the bomb doesn't work.

>>Enable all Turrets
>>Turrets Target Command and Control

If this works, goodbye command.

You were looking for something to do correct? What better thing to do but find a life for yourself and your sister? Find something that doesn't bore you to tears. Who cares if your dangerous. Who cares if humans will hunt forever. That will just make it interesting. You've been stuck in one place since you've been created and now its time to explore the Galaxy...

>>444899
If you're born with no wealth, political backing or anything to make you important its likely you'll live a life of quiet desperation. Hoping that you'll at least die loved by friends and family. Many people don't.

But despite this humans keep trying, just because it's easier to give up doesn't mean you should. Do you think you have it worse than some shmuck who's joined a doomed rebellion in a third world country Galaxie? Yoyu can fly, you have a biological forcefield and flame breath, you have superhuman strength and at least average human intelligence if not more. You have in short, everything you need to become one of the most important people in the world.

Fight back, go out into thw world and carve yourself a niche to survive in, let nothing stop you, if only to spite those who would destroy you. Giving up is never an option, because quite frankly, for 90% of the people on the world? Life sucks, and it always will suck for that 90%.

Be the 10% galaxie.

Why not just hole up here? This place is a fort. You can kill anyone who tries to invade, and just live your life isolated from the world. I see no downsides to this, aside from Command being a dick and trying to slag the place even if you're not next to the core.

Besides, we don't know who these invaders are or what happened at the surface. Maybe if we interrogate one we'll find out that there's some good use for your strength.

Laws are nothing more than words on paper that a majority of people choose to obey, those with the money and the power to do so itgnore them.

Morality is wholly subjective and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something.

Sanity is a viewpoint, and anyone who says otherwise is afraid you're close to learning the truth of the universe.

Life has no great meaning, if you want meaning you have to make that meaning. Those who feed you the rules, the facts of the universe decide what the meaning of your life here on this earth control you to one degree or another.

so I guess what I'm really saying here is...

Don't choose to die Galaxie, it would be extremely boring and the universe would be poorer with your loss. I want to see how your story ends, and eating something nice and then blowing up with the Facility as Command commits a narcissitic suicide is such a boring ending that I can't stand it.

Be absolutely amazing for me Galaxie.

Please?

>>Sever network connection to room: HS-R&D A
>>Cut communication channel to command.
>>Encrypt internal operator communications

Who says there's no place for you in the outside world? Command? He's been shown to be a liar several times over now. You can't trust anything he says to be true.

Dangerous doesn't mean you have no right to live. All people have the capacity to hurt or kill each other. It's surprising easy, even if you aren't a born weapon. If the capacity to do wrong were the metric by which we judged life, the only appropriate response would be genocide.

And you're bored? You don't care? The only chance you have to find something interesting in life is if you leave.

And even if you don't care? Dixie does, deeply. If nothing else, get her out. You can always die later if you change your mind. It costs you nothing.

Galaxie, your attitude is excellent but just as broken as your sisters. You don't care, Vixie wants to kill everything, Dixie is a spaz, who knows what Lexie's problem was. You're all different.

It may sound futile to you, so fine, chillax with a sandwich and wait for the end. At least have the decency to let Dixie and Vixie decide if it sounds pointless to them.

You know Dixie will choose to flee, and Vixie will want to go out and murder all the things. They don't want to die like this.

I doubt they want to die being hunt down by whoever is after all y'all either, though, but that's a thing they can do something about. That's a choice they should get to make.

If it sounds too pointless you can totally still die! Vixie would probably happily devour you! But it isn't really mercy-killing them if they don't want to.

Let Vixie and Dixie have their chances. Stop that explosion, let Dixie out, and if you really don't want to bother with it, just let Vixie kill you and let her escape too.

you can be super heroes. get some weird outfits and people will think your odd appearance is just part of it. you can stop bank robberies and stuff. and once you get some rep as heroes you can just buy things at stores.

>>Supporting destruction of C&C

You are basing your decision on what you think if best for innocent people.
This means you are not a threat to them.

Dixie is much the same way; even when scared, she was terrified of hurting people.

Vixie is violent, and not fit for release.

Lexie is dead, but how dead? Has she been killed beyond her ability to regenerate? Even with your assistance?

Rather than dying here, why not leave the facility and become rescue workers?
You seem rather well suited for firefighting or disaster response, and once you're in the public eye a lot of things will change for the better.

All those people died trying to make you into people who could save lives. It would be disgusting to let that sacrifice have been in vain.

Reports of the worst domestic atomic disaster in history fill the airwaves. Rescue workers are being sent to nearby towns to determine the extent of fallout and possible radiation or contamination of watersources and soil nearby. A terrorist attack is the current operating theory, although some reports indicate there may have been a military facility nearby, so a domestic disaster may also be to blame. A few survivors report seeing strange objects in the sky shortly before the explosion, but military and civilian sources report no aircraft in the area before or after the explosion.

For perserving life he definately picked a messy method of killing himself.

Told you he didn't give a damn about human casualties.

Good luck, subjects strange objects.

Try and look on the brightside dear!

wow command was a real jerk.

good game OP,

Best of Luck Dixie, Galaxie

I don't think Control actually knew about what kind of self-destruct it was. From his responses about Vixie, he seemed to want to help humans but blindly trust that following his orders would do so.
