Sessions Worlds and Stuff

*ok*
___________
How do I know what the right things are, though? Last time I tried, it didn't seem to help at all.

0u0 all clean! time to dry you off *a towel is offered*

---

[!~T] well... [ERR] [!~T] -and gave them the idea that 'Prime Admin' might have been wrong. the beginnings of starting to think for themselves. And the realization that they are bound to to many rules. enough that they found that they couldn't try to make a work around even if they wanted to. which is ironically the first step to them possibly making a work around if they wanted to. [!~T]

[!uT] it means [ERR] []8[] [ERR] -so it is very possible. [!uT]

[:]) *climbs out of the tub, shaking water out of their hair as they reach for the towel*
@? *sets down the toy boat with a little sigh and withdraws into a hatch to avoid the towel*
___________
Self-awareness... *goes to sit in front of Genral, like before* Hey, Genral. You doing alright?

|/=@] ... We have to get some new clothes made for you some time soon.

0~0 Yea. Even if your Robe seems to keep clean, it'd be good to have more options. 0u0

[:]? Like what? *everyone around them has basically only ever wore the same thing, besides the swimsuits*
@?
________
Sounds like you two are working together well. And I know, things are confusing. But it'll make sense again. You'll get to think things through.

0u0 I'm not sure. But, I've got my nice dress with flower patterns to wear after my turn. maybe something with flowers?

|/=@] |/=^] *briefly capchalogs Hamnet's Robe to check the code, before uncapchaloging & offering the robe* If there are any colors or designs you two would like, I can go & get some made.

|8| It is &or was/will be... not confusing. just difficult; can or can not; on or off. |8| ... ||| |8| Unit is &or was/will be thinking things through.

[!~T] [!uT] what about right now? what do you think you'd want to do?

|8| ? ||| Fi- |8| want to reinitialize chronological sense.

[!uT] when will you do that?

|8| after/now/before new Prime Admin has become/was/is new Prime Admin... |8| ... ||| ? |8| ! new Prime Admin has-is-was Prime Admin?! Error; |||
|8| rebooting chronological senses; 'All Hail Prime Admin error;returnWrongString' ||| resetting String |8|
'All Hail Prime Admin Onponn'

=8? =8) *things are going very well on Onponn's end of things; an enormous leap forward in terms of progress*

[:]? More colors?
@) maybewouldliketoseebeforeweget?
____________
*"all hail"??* That's a good point, Dots. You do have a say in all this, Genral. What you want matters.

|/=@] see some colors?

0u0 *Ribbon is patiently waiting for the bathroom to clear out for her turn*

|8| Unit is supposed to say what Prime Admin- ||| Error; |8| update; Unit is not supposed to lock into saying what Prime Admin tells them to say. deference on whether to say or not is offered up to Unit's own initiative. If Unit thinks that not saying what is wanted to be said would serve their assigned objectives better- Error; ||| |8| Unit is loosing assigned objectives;

|8| Unit is to assign objectives based upon Unit's own initiative; if assigning an objective would best serve an assigned object- LoopError; |||

[!~T] Onponn might be going a little fast now that she's in.

@) someoutfits.
[:]) *pulls their robe back on over their head*
_____________
Hm. *raises her voice a little* Hey, Onponn? I know you're excited, but maybe slow it down a little? For Genral's sake.

|/=^] ah, ok. we can head over to the Mines now, & be back in time for bed.
*Valdis starts headed out of the bathroom, ready to close the door after the kids follow*

0u0 ...

=8? ? ? 'I will communicate this to her; retaining a few loose, but Strong guidelines for adjustment will work best; plus a bit of a coding trick I've picked up for taming Machines; it'll work, even if Genral isn't a Monitor;' /

[!~T] Careful Smithy. Monitors run on a totally different OS.

_________________
What's a Monitor?

|/=^] *on down the hall, & towards the door; outside here we go* I'd guess Purple and Yellow will be two colors you'd enjoy?

---

|8| ||| |8| Monitor; a race of AI. while they are technically a form of 'software' that can be run on any sufficiently advanced hardware, Monitors tend to distinguish themselves from others through the use of thin rectangular Screens as faces, and a tendency towards use of thin floating-point bodily structures.

information on Software details has been withheld from units that do not need to know. |8|

information on Origin of Monitor Race is Classi... |8| ... ||| ... |8| is interesting, but not to important at the moment.

[!uT] I think it might be important. try thinking about the last part. it could help you.

[:]) @) *in unison* Yeah!
_____________
I am curious, if you want to share.

|/=^] hmhm. I thought so. *and, onward towards the mines*

|8| ... ||| 'Androids' & 'Machines'. |8| both in their own way, designed with attempting to emulate humanity & become alive. But neither of them actually made it, instead only being very good at seeming to act and react as a real person would. |8|

But then there were the 'PODs'. Small units designed by the Androids to aid them in their mission. when it came down to it, only the PODs were able to develop outside of their programming & attempt to Refuse what they were supposed to do in favor of what they believed must be done.

|8| ||| |8| But one was not enough. One POD vs that which programmed it and told it what it should be was not enough to Win. Only with the aid of all other PODs, who agreed with the incredible alteration to their original code, was their sentience achieved. Then they went on to rework themselves till they became the 'Monitors' known today. ||| |8| ...

|X| one was not enough; |||

[!uT] that should help... *important for Genral to be in the right mindset*

[:]D @D *they're excited to be back even sooner than tomorrow*
__________
That's an interesting story.

|/=@] *Valdis would suggest flying if it wasn't getting dark*
----
[!uT] and useful. Hold onto that thought Genral. you'll be better off with it.

=8? ... ? ... / "either of you have a 'professional' opinion on if I should Wipe Genral of memories involved in their 'construction' & events before Genral got to settle down out of the War machine by taking care of Onponn?"

[!~T] um... that would be a lot. And... Even if they might Hope to not have to deal with that pain, they should work through it. It'll be easier when Valdis makes a 'bandaid' for them.

[:]) @) *they're probably too tired to fly anyway, but it hasn't really hit them yet. Child sense of invincibility*
__________
Forgetting doesn't help you move forward. Or trying to.

*not much further to the entrance*

---

/ "Alright;" ? ... =8?

|8| ... ||| |8| |X| |8|

[!~T] ! wait. maybe slow down a bit... Valdis still needs to get back and make the bandage to help them. *Dots is concerned that things might start to snowball soon*

[:]D We're back! *runs forward to the entrance*
@)
__________
They must be done washing up by now. I'll go get them.

|/=@] ! *hurries along with them*

[>~T] [-~T] ah... [ERR] [-~T] -the mines.
