Oh god is anybody here? Does this thing work? I think I found some kind of network or something. Oh god, oh god, you have to help me get out of here!

Sure, we're here. First of all where are you, what do you have on you. And whats currently around you? Oh and whats your name.

I'd tell you to calm down, but maybe your situation actually warrants being really panicky! What's the situation you need to get out of?

I'm glad you came. This is a fashion emergency! Magenta and yellow?? What have they done to you, girl!

>>442984
She seems to have a lot of fur and a couple of antlers on her and nothing else. Her name is apparently Dixie Stardancer.

Now, we know less than you do. Tell us the most relevant stuff and skip the rest- possible exit routes, obstacles, etc.

Okay uh redaeth, okay, Yeah, my name is Dixie. I don't have anything at all yet I don't think. I am in a big concrete place but this room just has a bed and a doorway and a terminal in it.

Uh, Cd97f, uh, Look, I escaped from a containercage sort of dealie and I ran away and now I'm in this room instead of the other room and people are going to find me and oh god oh god!

You can still hear me ok, right? I'm going to try and hook this into the camera system. I am pretty good with wires and stuff and all.

Woah, Sarda, how did you know my name? I Haven't told you yet! There is a long hallway outside and there are just like, a bunch of rooms over out there. I think I can give you guys access to the cameras and I think there is a mic here I can wear so you can hear me but please you got to help me get out ok? Please!

>>442993
What are the locks and the doors like? Electronic? Try and give us access to the doors and locks if the doors are suitably thick.

>>442996
To clarify- it sounds like panicking in this situation will just get you caught faster, since we don't seem to be mobile and you apparently have no idea what the layout of this place is. I'd suggest locking them out and giving yourself time.

Of course, that gives your possible pursuers more time too, so we'll have to use it wisely.

I would suggest you hide, but given that color scheme it's entirely impossible.

Alright, calm down though. You'll do yourself no good panicing. Next check the bed, take any blankets or sheets. Those will do as impromptu ropes or a sack to hold any items.

Have you seen anyone else besides yourself before you escaped? If so what did they look like, and were they armed?

I'm guessing we can use cameras to scout out possible routes but a general idea of the surrounding area would be nice before hand.

Okay, chill dixie, I want you to stop and breath deeply. In, out, in out.

Do that for six seconds, count them, One Mississipi. Two Mississipi, thre mississip, four mississipi, five mississip, six mississipi. keep oing that until you're calm.

Once thats done try the other suggestions, don't panic.

Okay I counted all the numbers, and I totally acquired the bedsheets. You guys will have access to the camera for whatever room I'm in, and I'm mic'd so I can hear you and stuff! Also I think you will be able to lock and unlock some of the doors, as long as you know the room number!

Okay I can peep out the door, I know this one is unlocked. All of them just have a normal handle so if they have a lock it's always going to be electric, for sure.

Okay I am peeping now. I don't see anything but I can hear some footsteps. I can't tell if they're closer or further away. Oh, I forgot to say this, but I haven't seen anybody but you guys.

Okay so there are six doors on the hall, three behind me and three in front.

Oh I think if you want to put commands, you type ">>" like, to lock a door, type >>Lock 6A" or whatever the door is.

Okay so in front of me, the way my body is facing, there is an L turn. I can't see what's the other way without peeping over the box.

You look hilarious dear, forget the sheets for the moment since your fur acts as a good modetsy preserver.

Okay we'll lock this room if we have to keep you safe, in the meantime look for room numbers and be ready to scream at us to lock them if they contain some sort of horrible monstrosity

Okay peek over the box, lets stay away from the downstairs areas for the moment.

Modesty is not nearly the problem so much as being spotted.

There is a bipedal armed and armored entity a good three paces beyond the box you were about to peek over. His back is turned. Also your StC score (seconds to crate) is 2640.

Theres a gaurd there. He has his back to you.

Keep the sheets, instead twist them so they form a rope. We can use that as a garrote. Better then relying on hands. How quiet do you move. If your relatively confident of your stealh approach him from behind and loop the garrotte / sheet around his neck. and then pull as hard as you can.

Okay I am peeping, if you say he's not looking at me.

Is that a good StC score? I hope I'm doing good...

Okay down this way there is a stairwell at the end of the hall, the way the soldier guy is walking.

I am like, really really super quiet. I can walk so quiet okay? Should I try the garotte plan or like, sneak the other way or something? Look I calmed down because of you guys but I'm still really scared, but he is shorter than me and maybe I have powers or something??? I don't know! I need you guys to help me please!

I'm guessing the other way is where you came so most likely there will be people searching for you there. Go with the Garrotte plan.

What sort of powers do you have?

We're overhearing some kind of message, I assume communication between your captors and guards, that you're downstairs and dangerous.

Hmm. Well, that means up is the way out. And if they think you're dangerous, we might be able to use that. But I don't like them knowing where you are.

Let's try our hacking powers.

Tell us about yourself. What do you remember? What can you do?

Garrote plan is a bad idea, can you find some glass? That'd make a good throat slicer, how strong are you dear? If you're stronger than a human just wrestle the guy into submission.

A sheet garotte is a stupid idea. Tear a strip off the sheet, if you absolutely must have a garotte to murder people with. Regardless he's either a robot or wearing body armor. Plus he's moving away. Time to try the door he's walking past!

The only power you have shown thus far is making color coordinators die of cardiac arrest upon seeing you.

Grab him underneath his shoulders and throw him to the ground. You need to get him off his feet and quickly. Stay calm dear, panicking is a bad thing.

Almost as strong as you are clumsy. This is going to be a long night.

Okay, so, uh... maybe we should stick to stealth. Because... yeah.

Remove your hand from him, and don't try to administer first aid, you could hurt him worse. Let's just get out of here. Move.

I-I didn't mean to! I didn't! I swear! You saw, right?

Is he gonna be OK? He- he's not moving. I... I don't know what to do!

Where should I go? Please I didn't mean to! Please!

Please help me!

Yes Dixie, we know it was an accident, please calm down. Put the man down, he's dead, there's nothing you can do. Wipe up the blood with the sheetys and move on. Try to find a new door, if its locked we'll unlock it.

>>443089
Yes, we saw.
Do you know where medical is? Carry him there. It may not be too late to save his life!

Yes, it wasn't your fault. You were afraid, desperate, and imprisoned. And you had no idea of your own strength.

From now on, avoid physical contact with anyone else you encounter. Meat and metal might as well be spiderwebs to you.

Best thing you can do for him is to leave. If he's alive, they'll recover him- you can't help. If he's dead, you can't do anything about it.

Again calm down. Yes we see that your sorry and you didn't mean to kill him. Now we also know your much stronger then you appear. Take his weapon, his belt and his helmet. Be careful not to damage anything else. Look at his helmet for any sign of electronics. We want to know what they are saying and if they are advanced enough to contain you their helmets most likely have inbuilt communicators.

Dangerous yes. Frightened yes. Unstable not so much. I think shes better free then at your tender mercies

Okay chill Dixie. Just put down the dead guard, you can't do anything for him. The important thing to do here is search him for useful stuff. Knives, guns, clothing that isn't filthy with blood or other bodily fluids. and get the helmet, check it for communication devices, microphones and such.

After that bug out, we need to find a way out of here.

Guys, she can shred armor like it's not even there. She doesn't need a knife, that makes her less dangerous. And a gun isn't much good if you're going to involuntarily crush it in your hands the first time you get nervous or afraid.

...well, obviously she can modulate her strength to some degree, since she didn't mangle the keyboard earlier, but still.

This room said "6A" over the top. It's just exactly like the last one.

I got the gun and the belt and the h-h-helmet. There's a communicator thingy in the helmet, *sniff*

I also p-p-put his heart in there b-because I'm sad.

His c-clothes won't fit me at all.

The stairwell is j-just at the end of the hall. W-what was I supposed to do with the h-helmet and the gun, and wh-which way am I supposed to go, Up or d-d-down?

It'd be kind of nice to have something that isn't her hand to shove into sharp objects or energy fields or what not, Besides she can throw the knife or use the gun to shoot distant objects.

Clearly we'll need to get some strength training done.

Let's go up. I think you're underground, so that way's out.

Wait...hold it. Dixie you collected the guy's heart? That's a no-no dear. Please don't steal people's hearts, if only because they need them to live.

Just hold onto the gun for the moment, put the belt on, if it won't fit around your waist wear it like a bandoleer. As for the helmet fiddle with it, see if you can get it to interface with the computer system so we can use it to listen in on enemy communications. I mean you got the computer working you can manage this right?

>>443106
Ok, putting the heart in the helmet? That's not sane behavior.

For now, you're safe. Stay here. Calm down.
Tell us what you remember. Where are you from? Where are you going? Why?
What did these people do to you?

>>443106
The problem with hearts is that while it's fine to take something to remember him by because you feel guilty about murdering him and want to bury him or suchlike, hearts should not be used for this purpose.

Firstly, they're messy. A treasured possession or something with their name on it is better. Secondly, the actual corpse and corpse bits should be left for the family, unless there's no other way to get him back to a non-hostile location. And this location is only hostile for you.

The belt is basically so you can hold items. Since your so strong you can probably rip the helmet apart w\o touching the electronics so you can wear the communication and visor.

As for the gun, its simply to give you some range in case you need to fight your way out.

As for the heart can you tell us why you kept it beyond you felt sad?

>>443130
Dangerous does not mean they don't deserve our help. What she did with the heart is a serious red flag, though. Allowing something like this to escape without fully working mental faculties would be a bad idea. I think I'll try to get her captured next chapter.

>>443150
well "the subject is incomplete" so I think we can assume she's been vat grown and programmed with basic skills, like the ability to panic and call for help. Maybe she's the product of some sort of demented mothering instinct. anyway she accidentily ripped out that poor guards heart so her collecting it isn't that big a deal, we just need to keep an eye on her in the future and make her obey some basic societal, rules. She's done everything else we've asked so far.

I;m pretty sure shes been implanted with various combat maneuvars... all lethal. When she wen tafter that guy her body simply reacted as it was programmed to and tore out a vital organ. Her keeping it was abnormal but shes obviously under a great deal of stress so unless she starts killing people and collecting their hearts wholesale I say we continue to help her.

>>443130

Personally I trusted the mysterious voice until the whole, "Subject is an Organic Weapon" part. If that's what she does by accident, imagine what she'd do with emotions and tits removed, mind control chips ordering our death, and a camoflage color scheme!

any rational soul who's an operator of a dangerous weapons factory has it as their solemn duty to secretly sabatoge it from within. Heed the example of Oskar Schindler.

Jump over the wall to the turret, turn it toward the soldiers and it will... Put them to sleep with tranquilizer darts.

Yes, we're back! Sorry, we got cut off by someone or something.

Can you run back out the door behind you? The only way through this room would be to get shot a lot, and maybe kill more people. You don't really wanna do either.

The people who cut us of before are talking to us. They want you captured, not dead, which is good, I guess. We don't know why or what they want with you though. We're gonna try and squeeze more info out of them.

You can't just run around killing all these people! Maybe they're scared too! Maybe they're scared of you! Are you bulletproof? You're probably bulletproof! Do you think you could run past the guys and the turret supersuperfast without getting hurt, or hurting them?

Oh wait, duh.

>>Assume control of turret
>>Rotate to face humans
>>Lay down suppressive fire

Go to the right so your nearest to the turret. Use that strength you have to push off as fast as you can. Twist so you hit the wall behind the turret then angle to go between the two soldiers. The turret should be the only thing fast enough to track you and it won't fire because of the risk of hitting the soldiers. Head for the exit behind them, keepin the soldiers between you and the turrets.

Use plasma breath on the turret to reduce incoming fire. I think it's fine for us to attack unmanned hostiles. Wait, it's an automated turret, right? It looks like one but there might be enough room behind it for someone to be standing there.

I also want to see how strong your plasma breath is.

You are too lethal for subduing soldiers. Do not engage. Run.

I... don't think those were tranquilizers. Sorry, our fault. Looks like the dumb thing was spray and pray instead of selective targetting.

Hit the barrel of their weapons UP, do not go for them. Your body is most likely like that turret, programmed to take out what is hostile and nearby. Make sure you have completely control of you. Such things can be deprogrammed but first we must get you out.

That's not suppressive fire! That's not suppressive fire at all! That's shooting them to shreds! Godsdamn, the equipment here only seems to have "off" and "kill" settings. We'll have to remember that in the future.

Didn't we leave the turret, just now, so it will kill anything trying to follow her?

I don't think she can really be hurt that easily that we need to be outright slaughtering everyone. Even if we're actually going to try to help her escape we don't need to do it with the biggest bodycount we can.

Guys, if we want to find out if having her surrender is a good idea, we need to find out how these guys operate. The best method for that is to check in the LABS, not in the loading bays!

Dixie has very low self control, so simply letting her out is a bad plan. Imagine her trying to shake someone's hand or give someone a hug. It's a recipe for disaster. What we should be doing is finding a way to depower her or give her better self-control.

Also just imagine a neon pink deer hybrid trying to integrate with society.

how much experience do you have dealing with the wiener police?

>>443499
I think she broke out of the labs. The pursuing guards are that way.

Also, we know nothing about society here. For all we know, she'd fit perfectly fine into her super-strong pink deer person society, except for being abducted by and experimented on by aliens humans.

We need data, wherever we can find it. We can't make a useful decision without it.

Wait so is the elevator safe or not safe? I.. What should I do?

Wait! Wait! Have me surrender? No look no! Look, I don't want to surrender! I have good self control I promise! I.. .Look I don't know if there is society I...

I don't know what the weiner police is I... I guys I.. Is there a problem with the.. Guys please no Ok no I don't want to go back! Please!

I didn't break out from here! The cage was way lower down on the 6B floor where I started off!

Dreamer I don't understand what you're saying! You're making me scared! I- I-

There is a loud noise! I.. I think I hear something from the door I entered from too! I.. I can't stop crying! Everything is blurry!

Calm down, please.

There's just a lot of arguing going on.

Quickly get into the elevator and go down. It'll take you away from all this, okay? They'll stop chasing you. You're not cargo, and you don't want to go to the labs, right? Take the elevator down.

Elevator seems our only choice now, because some of us are jerks. However, you started down. Down is where the cages are. You want to go up. Up is away from cages.

But first you're going to have to fight the giant robot that is about to break through the door to bay 1.

...so you think you're smart, getting the first word in and fucking over the majority?

Two can play that game.

Dixie, the elevator is not safe. And you can't trust all of us, unfortunately. At least one voice has sided with your captors. Down the elevator is the ambush point.

DO NOT GO DOWN!

That user is trying to get you captured.

Oh hell... theres a power armor lifting that bay door open. Run at thsoe fingers. Tear them off. Then use your plasma breath through the cracks. After the area has cooled crawl on through.

Hey look, bay 1 sort of opened, and you aren't being sucked into the cold vacuum of space! Peek underneath to see what's out there. You might be able to lift it manually.

You really should go down the elevator though. Many people are waiting for you there to recapture you, make you have bad self control, and most likely hurt you until you are no longer able to cry. That is what you are supposed to do, according to our controlling supervisor, and we are obliged to obey his commands. So go ahead and listen to us. We're obviously trying to help you, and should be completely trusted.

Will those doors actually be able to stop you when you can accidentally tear someone's heart out through armor?

Go into the elevator. Press any buttons that should make it go up. If it doesn't go up, break through the top of the elevator and climb the cables up.

Do you want to keep killing people?

Do you want to be a monster?

Get in the elevator.

Go down.

You can stop all this death if you just go down.

Girl, I'm sorry, but you're surrounded, and we shot ourselves in the foot her. Unless you want to kill your way out, and possibly get killed in the process, you're going to have to step into the elevator and surrender peacefully.

Your other option is to run for the labs behind you.

Be warned though that they're threatening lethal force now, and we can't hack for 30 minutes. You may be best off going quietly, and we'll try and help you later.

You're being so good now. You didn't kill any of those people, right? Not even on accident! And now there is nothing dangerous happening at all.

You should relax, and try to calm down, and let the elevator take you to safety.

Gas. Hold your breath. Go to the roof of the elevator and tear it open. Then leap as high up as you can... grab the cable and start climbing.

Oh you guys are so sweet!

I'm trapped down here in Basement 12, and I'm no good with computers at all. How about I answer some questions, and then maybe you can help me get out? Doesn't that sound just so fine? I sure think it does!

Grey Noon Cloud, you're a sweetie! I can answer all your questions!

Command and Control is holed up in High Security Research and Development A. He's the butthole that locked me down here, even though I just want to help. What a loser, right boys?

We've got some folks come to shut us down, and Command and Control is trying to secure everything and lock them out. I don't know why he doesn't just let us go up there and kill them all! It wouldn't even be hard. It's what we're made for, after all.

Most likely that will get the army or whatever called down on you. Doesn't really help him when he probably wants to sell you TO the army. Plus most militaries don't need to send soldiers to utterly destroy a place... they bomb it instead.

Anyway lets help you out. We kinda want to help Trixie escape this place and if your causing mayhem by klling as many as you please that makes it much easier.

>>Unlock door 12Y

Not for you maybe, but I think Dixie might have a hard time with it. At any rate who cares what you're made for! It's what you become that matters. And I guess you want become out of there, so you can make said folks become tasty pieces of meat. You don't have to be good with computers; we'll try to walk you through it. First, can you find any doors where you are? Ones leading to stairwells would be especially helpful, even if locked.

Information in exchange for information for assistance sounds like a fair exchange.

Questions:
-where is this facility located?
-what's the mission? Biological weapons are usually built for a reason, and it's often not because you want to play nice-nice.
-You guys really manufactured here, or are you suborned or altered naturally occurring critter?
-Any idea why Command would order us to prevent human casualties, and then pile soldiers between Dixie and her capture point? Seems suspicious to me.
-What can you tell us, about, well, us? We don't know much about ourselves, and have no memory before Dixie's escape attempt.

I don't need you to open doors for me though, darling. Doors aren't really something that concerns me, overmuch.

Oh Diamond Dreamer! Aren't you just so cute? If you were here right now I would just eat you up! I love my work, cutie!

I just love the adorable paiselys, Grey noon.

Oh, the whole base thing or whatever is deep underground somewhere. I don't really know that. I also don't know the mission. I just know I am really, really good at killing things. I was decanted here, just like Galaxie, Dixie, and Lexie. Made out of dreams and moxie!

Command and Control didn't put those soldiers there. They're invading the base. I don't know why we just can't kill them all. All Command and Control has are the automated weapons and robots. And us. He's not using any of them really. Just locking doors and trying to slow them down while he rounds us up.

I don't know who you are exactly. Maybe Dixie made out, oh, sorry slip of the tongue. Maybe Dixie made you or tapped into you from somewhere else. Maybe Command and Control did. I'm going to kill him so hard, it's going to be just delicious~!

But I don't need you to unlock doors. I need you to disable these. These are Nullifiers. They're mechanical devices that shut off our brain functions and make us go to sleep. This one is broken. But we don't need to do that until we're finished talking, because I only have all you sweet, helpful boys and girls here at the terminal, so once I leave, it'll be pretty boring and lonely in here.

Lexie is like Dixie. She got out, and he's trying to round her up. She's a lot more complete though.

Yup, looks like command is working on getting this terminal reconnected. Just disabled those nullifiers... and hopefully put a crimp on Galaxie.

You are clearly the hero, Vixie, okay. Make yourself comfortable, maybe have a drink, and then go out there and do whatever it is you need to do. I hope you win!

Well, we've been given no good reason to trust command, or to care about the soldiers invading this place. You've upheld your end of the bargain and given us some much needed intel. So we'll honor our end.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Dodge her. Or impale her on your horns.

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.

you should all have the same powers, in fact, dixie, you should have more since you are the newest model.

Dixie listen to me closely. Lexie was your sister, she was one of 4 people in the world who understood you and was like you, according to human famlial traditions families are supposed to watch our for each other and help each other. No matter what. Now vixie just killed her sister, her own flesh and blood, do you know how wrong that is?

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.

Grab her leg. Bite her leg. Then plasma breath... no shield in the way.

Ignore these idorts.

The leg has lots of important arteries in it. Bite down on Vixie's ankle, use your claws and and fangs, tear her leg apart, you need to inflict fatal wounds as fast as possible or else she'll kill you and eat you.

I know you're scared dixie, and you're doing your best, we're all very proud of you, but if you don't fight with everything you've got you're going to wind up just like lexie. Fight with everything you've got dear!

Bite down and use your flame breath, shred her flesh with your claws, it's the only thing you can do.

The thing for it is more like

Er. Alright.

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.

Remove both arms, and break her teeth. Otherwise let her live. And let Dixie escape please.

"So, how mad would you be if I just killed them both?"

"Seriously, I don't care. Should I kill Vixie or let her live? I can hear you guys, in case that's not clear."

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.
Be careful not to get caught in the range of the subdual device.

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.

"Well, we're all going to die anyway. I'm supposed to drag Dixie back, and Command and Control is going to slag the base. A big explosion. He wants to make sure we're close enough to the core to make sure we're dead when it goes off. So I just figured maybe I just burn Dixie down now and it's not a problem, you know? She just goes to sleep and never wakes up instead of knowing she's going to die. She'll feel like a hero.

I figured it'd be nicer, you know, if somebody she loved did it."

I take it back Galaxie, you're a good person, but you're being a little dumb. Why should you submit to command's decisions and die? Dixie's a Mechanical wizard, she can rig up a system that will lets us communicate with you no matter where you go. We can guide you and help you deal with the outside world. 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.

I don't really know if I'm dangerous. I don't really care about Vixie or Dixie or Lexie. I don't care about the humans and I don't really care about Command and Control. He just gave me something to do. It seemed interesting, for a while.

Now I don't really care. You guys seem to care a lot though, so, sure, whatever. I'll give you a shot.

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. Our whole existence would be one of constant fear. We'd have to run for the rest of our lives, and we'd be hunted. It seems doomed. It seems like a stupid, futile waste of time.

I could just drag everyone downstairs, or just do it here and walk back, have something nice to eat, and go to sleep. But sure, for the sake of argument. I'll give you once chance.

You're a majestic pony with a majestic ass.

That's good enough of a reason.

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,

--->continues

>>444894
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.

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.

>>444903
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

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.

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.

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.
