*Shadow doesn't reply, simply walking over to the terminal and placing her hand on it. A brief spark leaps across her fingers to the screen, then she smirks*
"Just the main doors open?"

King: "Yes just the-" [b]The system knows what's happening. And it's screen flashes red. Incredibly advanced firewalls come up and begin to fight against whatever shadow is doing to keep her from opening the doors. Screams of beasts and yelling of men echo through the castles.[/b] Pale shade: "Shades. Cover each door." [b]There are nine doors in the entrance, and each shade moves to defend it. The burst sends her drones up to assist. The king stays by shadow, his lance sparking to life with lightning.[/b] King: "I think they know we are here..."

"Good. Wouldn't be good guests if they didn't." [b][i]Within the Terminal:[/i][/b] [b]The AI known as Mother was suitably impressed. The barbaric organics actually had somewhat un-embarrassingly good firewalls. They were even made in trinary!! Oh, a challenge for most this would be, bo doubt. That is, if Mother wasn't quintinary-coded. Her near-omnipotence in cyberspace was unrivaled by all. A simple flaw in the coding saw the firewalls bypassed altogether, leaving the heart of the system bared to her. A savage twist saw the coding bent to her cybernetic will, the controls to the main gate were activated, the mammoth barriers slowly receding. Another line of code sent into the system was processed as she leapt back into the crystal-latticework of Shadow's suit.[/b] [u]Done. I left a parting gift for later...[/u] [b][i]Outside:[/i][/b] *Shadow cackles with glee as Mother returns within a minute of her accessing the terminal. She almost breaks down into full-blown giggles as she listens to Mother's message.* "Oh boy... This should be fun."

[b]Suddenly the door goes into lockdown. And more firewalls come up on the screen. 8 sets of steel bars come over the doors as shadow beasts begin to attack the pale shades from each door.[/b] [i]"Hello. I am Dea. Castle Dusks A.I. Who was the bitch who tried to hack me? I'd like them to try again."[/i] [b]This is a fully self aware A.I it seems...[/b]

"Damn it Profligate! You women always -blam!- things up!" [b]The Legate pulls out his sword, and begins to wail on the beasts closest to him. He then falls back, puts the sword away, and begins to attack them with his ballistic fist. The enemies killed by this weapon explode into piles of viscera.[/b] [spoiler]I really don't like RPing the sexist part of the Legion. Makes me seem like a dick.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Shadow(sorry for character jacking twig) uploads mother back to the system, and she gets to work. The pale shades are torn apart, and each one has its head ripped off its body as the beasts swarm in. [/b]

[spoiler]Quintinary code- 5 characters Binary- 2 characters. Mother is light-years away from binary code. I made this castle have trinary just so that it wouldn't be so bad of a fight. That still leaves 2 more levels of information that Mother has over the AI. Lololol, computer trolling.[/spoiler] [b]Mother, now back in, gives off the cybernetic equivalent of a smirk as she watches the 8-standard AI try to block her out.[/b] [u]Fascinating. Activate Protocol Imperious.[/u] [b]With a single line of code that cuts through the firewalls, the embedded code from earlier activates. Full Override Access is given to Mother. She then subverts the AI to her command, having her actively attack the twilight with the internal defense systems. She then continues the process of opening the doors.[/b] [spoiler]I can't remember the name of the guy, but AI intelligences are rated from 1-10, 10 being the smartest. Then there are standard AIs and Smart AIs. Smart AIs can adapt(modify their own code), standard can't. Mother would be classified as a 15+ Smart.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]i am shit when it comes to computers haha. [/spoiler] [b]Dea cross references the...binary...subsystem and opens...google... Dea uploads a violent virus into Mother. Making her much, MUCH slower.[/b]
-
[b]The virus is deleted within seconds, the sub-routines easily defeating the ancient program's attack.[/b] "What's taking her so long? Is she uploading some porn?" [u]Shut up.[/u]
-
[spoiler]who said it was ancient?[/spoiler] [b]What mother didn't realize that as she deleted the virus, Dea put up thousands of individual fire walls now adapted to her attack. [/b]
-
[u]Ok. I'm pissed.[/u] [b]Mother does a clean wipe. She deletes the entire system, down to the basic controls. The AI is wiped, the firewalls are wiped, even the porn Mother was secretly uploading was deleted.[/b] "Wait, you actually-" [u]Shut. Up.[/u] [b]Mother then triggered the basic controls for the gate to open.[/b] [spoiler]CLEAN WIPE!!! Yes, it is a thing.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]You resulted to that solution way easier then I liked you to have.[/spoiler] [b]The security lockdown disengages, but sparks fly from the castle door. It tries to open, but it cannot. It seems that the beasts purposely damaged the gate. It has to be taken down by other means.[/b] [spoiler]This is on you! Now everyone has to try and bash the door down. Good luck. Because it won't happen in a single reply.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Mother returns to Shadow.[/b] "Alright, now to get the damn door open." *She walks over and knocks on it while listening to it*
-
[b]Since it's the castle door, the only thing outside it is the raging battle. A bullet flies into shadows shoulder from behind, reminding her that she's being attacked.[/b]
-
*The round glances off of her armor, but she takes notice none-the-less* "Oi!!! I'm working here." *Setting up a basic shield around her she begins to work, feeling the resonance the giant gate exists at. A simple frequency begins from Shadow's manifested aura, making the door begin to shake*
-
[b]It seems to do more and more damage. And the army on the other side is also doing damage to the door.[/b]
-
[b]The Legate smashes and decimates beasts, killing very quickly. On his off had, he now starts shooting with his revolver.[/b]
-
[b]One of the beasts jumps at his arm, disarming him.[/b]
-
[b]That beast is then punched in the face, causing an explosion. The Legate continues to punch everything in sight that is hostile.[/b]
-
[b]Suddenly bullets fly from the shadows. As men with assault rifles appear and open fire. The king sends a bolt of electricity towards them, electrifying them. [/b]
-
[b]The Legate picks his revolver back up, and fires on the men. He makes sure nobody's gonna disarm him this time.[/b]
-
[b]The riflemen lock on and fire at the legate. More beasts flood in and the burst goes to work, stabbing and impaling each of them.[/b]
-
[b]The Legate rolls off to the side, but a few of the bullets clip his left foot.[/b] "We need to get some cover!" [b]He injects himself with a stimpack.[/b]
-
Burst: "There isn't any! Time to get funky!" [b]The burst throws up more drones which gun down the beasts. [/b]
-
"Then we need to make or find some!" [b]The Legate rips a beast's throat out.[/b]
-
[b]There is a large chandelier on the ceiling....[/b]
