"Hunt? I could just ask him to teleport here."
-
[i]"Into the VR sim?" [/i]
-
"You want to do it in the VR room? Sure."
-
[i]"Alright, call him up." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte shrugs and Charlie appears next to her with a bright flash of light.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "What's so important? You know I'm busy." [i]Charlie's face is empty of signs of emotion.[/i]
-
[i]"Charlie, my man, I have a proposition for you." Thankfully, JT had the upper hand in simulations. He had the technical expertise to make it so leaving was physically impossible, and he ensured Charlie wouldn't be pulling out until they were done. [/i]
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "Mr. JT, if you wish to trap me I suggest against it. Now, what do you need? I'm busy."
-
[i]"Help me free Charlotte from this slavery she's going through. Or else she'll never -blam!- you agsin, only me. And last I checked, we both want that ass." [/i]
-
[i]Charlie shrugs as Charlotte blushes and covers her face.[/i] [b]Charlotte:[/b] "How could you?!" [b]Charlie:[/b] "I have no feelings for my sister. Wait, what slavery?"
-
[i]"She's literally forced to -blam!-. She told me that she feels no enjoyment from it, she even had some form of mindwipe when I tried to actually be romantic. Hell, I saw it in get eyes." [/i]
-
[i]Charlie grabs Charlotte's head and looks into her eyes. Charlotte blushes and tries to kiss Charlie, but he holds her at bay.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "Interesting."
-
[i]"Can you help, or have you no heart?" [/i]
-
[i]Charlie stops holding Charlotte.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "I'm too busy to help fix to inhabitors in her head. So what if she can't be romanced?"
-
[i]"Fine, go -blam!- yourself. Just know that you're taking her entire humanity from her."[/i]
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "Humanity? What is this humanity anyway? Why do we need it, Mr. JT? We're not human. Charlotte is a weapon of mass destruction that also sexually pleasures on the side. Get with the program."
-
[i]"And your point is?" JT asked, visibly growing more and more enraged by the passing second. That sentence struck a nerve with JT. [/i]
-
[i]Charlie remains emotionless.[/i] "My point is that we're just AI built to serve a purpose. These 'emotions' that I've started to feel are nothing, but a weakness. I had hoped my sister would agree. I guess she was never the brightest in the first place. Punching and sex is all she was made for." [i]Charlotte runs off crying.[/i]
-
[i]"A.I? Charlie let me ask you a wuestion, do you know what metastability is?" I suggest you listen to the Marshal - He has an argument and a case that he believes will greatly help. [/i]
-
[i]Charlie nods.[/i] "Yes, but I think I'm done here. Charlotte has run off and I have work to do."
-
[i]As Charlie tried to leave, he found himself bound here. Unable to go. [/i]
-
[i]Charlie had yet to try to leave. He just stands there.[/i]
-
[i]"So will you listen?" [/i]
-
[i]Charlie sighs.[/i] "I don't know why, but yes. Make it quick, Mr. JT."
-
Melancholia, or sadness, Anger, and finally metastability. Charlotte's sad, she's becoming metastable Charlie." [/i]
-
"Wait, what are you talking about? We're thinking of different definitions of metastability."
