"Its like a baby, they imprint on whatever their first experiences are.
Mine was you, and so now, I inherited that stuff.
As much as I find life interesting, its opposed by the traits I share with you."
She frowned, gesturing to the weapon then.
"That's an impulse buy, because of the reasons I just stated.
Anyways, what did you need?"

[spoiler]Kk. [/spoiler] [i]JT had finally finished up, though it took him some time to correct all the code. He managed to reattach her head through a fine tuned welding process, since he had to actually physically reset part of her 'Brain' earlier. He sat down on thin air, locking his legs into place in a reclined state. [/i]
-
With it done, the computer ran diagnostics, the AI named "Bismuth" looking over everything. The Irish voice having been directing him at times. JT had succeeded in fixing the error in her coding, a literal divide in her matrix having existed, but repaired now. The reset having cleared the abrasive part of her AI, she was left with normal self. Finally. A few minutes went by before it was that the computer winked an all clear, and Penny jolted once more, signifying her awakening.
-
[i]"Welcome to the land of the living," JT said to Penny, watching her jolt up. His face adopted an expression of happiness that it had worked, and her awakening was a sign. [/i]
-
She sat for a moment, running a diagnostic of herself, checking all that JT did. The android wanted to be sure it was fixed. A few moments went by before she did nod, moving to collect her shirt from where it lay. Having to disconnect and then reconnect a head meant removing clothing. "If I was living it would be different. But, thank you, JT. I can't think of how to repay you. Maybe not insulting would be a good idea, although now it won't happen.
-
[i]"Heh. Don't worry about payment." Penny was like a daughter to JT, so there was no need for him to take payment. Nor any ways, given her financial status. He stood up from his seated position and gave a sigh of relief. [/i]
-
"Seal it up, Bismuth." Nothing was said then, as the floor once more sunk, disappearing into a pit below, as the original blank one reappeared and slipped back into place, leaving the room empty once more. Penny sat down on a bench across the room, rubbing her temples.
-
[i]"Are you feeling alright, Penny?" [/i]
-
"You try having someone dig around your core processors and redo coding. Everything doesn't feel right, but I know its as it should be." She groaned then, leaning back against the wall.
-
[i]"Yeah, had it happen before. Back home in Cedyetica, got a chip implanted into my brain. Hurt like hell for weeks." [/i]
-
"You had a chip. You just reset a part of me, then redid the rest. Half sure there's a big difference there."
-
[i]"Not really. I was a massive junkie back in the day - So the guy augmenting me had to deal with installing part of my brain as it malfunctioned."[/i]
-
"Oh..." It was all she could muster at the moment, falling silent again. The only sound now being the sound of the machines constructing the body. Eventually she looked back up. "I'm sorry."
-
[i]"Don't be," JT said, his tone somewhat upbeat. There were times he reminisced on his past, but never times he regretted augments. "It was a different time." [/i]
-
"Well, it was that. And I'm sorry for earlier." She let put out a sigh then, standing up.
-
[i]"Not your fault, I made an error is all. Won't happen again." [/i]
-
"No, I should have let you know sooner, it would have avoided that whole mess."
-
[i]"No, we both reacted badly to it. Remember." [/i]
-
"If you say so..." She trailed off then, deep in thought once more.
-
[i]"Want me to leave you be for now?" [/i]
-
"I... I don't want to be alone." Her words sounded a bit forced, as she made herself say them. It was reality, after all.
-
[i]"Alright. How about you come to my place? Me and Irina could do with some company." [/i]
-
"Are you sure?" She turned her head to face him, not fully, but enough.
-
[i]"Of course. You're welcome by anytime." [/i]
-
"Well. If your fine with it, I guess." Now she turned all the way around.
-
[i]"Come on then," JT said as he started walking backwards to the entrance. [/i]
