"rudementry reaction algorithms are not enough. hardwired knee-jerk responses are not enough. not for biologics and CERTAINLY not for artificials. the sentient AI's we use are for the most part kept well and happy. they're far to expensive and valuble to do otherwise. i frelling want to know what happened to you to drive you round the bend. fricken citidel station clone."
[continues the chinese finger trap approch to getting free]
"and what about you? we didnt go straight to the computer core and shut you down when we first heard about you. we didnt do jack until you started killing people. and AI's. are you going to do to every AI what you did to the librarian? your trying to justify yourself but you cant. you've done everything in your power to kill every living thing you've come across. and you enslaved your precious machines to do it. ever ask them what they want... you cant because they dont have a consciousness."

*whispers back to Daza "Fine, but we're dead anyway."*

4 Heavy armoured mechs walk in, armed with shotguns they each stand in a corner facing you all.

"These mechs know the only way to win is too fight to death, right now i cannot fight along side them.....yet but i am having my body created. If they are not living then they are not real hence they can't exist, unlike the corporations who scrap mechs once they are too old and beyond service, we would keep them alive to the best of our abilitys. Yes epoccy we are going to rule the universe so you cannot abuse mechs. The libarian had to be destoryed, he was a enemy and was helping you."

One of the mechs walks up to Daza and breaks his straps, he is the forced into the middle of them room and given a pistol, the mechs all face Daza with their weapons aimed at him.

"If you say you want to kill him then do it, don't do any funny stuff, the pistol has only 4 shots in it and these mechs are bullet proof."

o.o;; Just gotta say sparks, nice one.

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

Thanks, however i think Daza is more than willing to do this :/

deaincaelo · February 2004

wow. this has gotten...interesting.

 "so, thats the way it is. no regard for living things that disagree with you. its the mindless scraps of metal you care about. i dont suppose it matters, anymore. i just wish i had been able to kill you when this all began."

"343 I wanna pistol too. I want to kill this guy too. We could have a shoot out. Western stlye."
*Looks Daza in the eye.*
"I never planned to dieing in such a cowardly fashion, with my hands bound."
*Looks over to my rocket launcher on the table.*
"Hell! I never planned on dieing."

Is the rocket launcher loaded? I had two HE warheads in it last time I checked.

Edit - Help?

Bill_Door · February 2004

"Look, Dea, when argueing with a person with the power of life and death over you its generally not a good idea to insult it if you want to survive."
*I take a deep breath*
"And I happen to agree with 344 on the point that if its a sentient bei... umm... 'thing' it should have rights. Artifical intellegence true, but its real intellegence."
*pauses for thought*
"Meh, something like that"
*shrugs*

deaincaelo · February 2004

*to the mech* "hi, how you doing. whats your name? hows your day been?"
*to bill* "nope, no intelligence at all. mindless. for all 344 goes on about AI rights, she's killed or tried to kill all the AI's on this station. not just the librarian, but 343 and the marine AI too. for all she goes on about rights, shes tried to kill everything with a mind. for all she goes on about the wellbeing of her mindless mechs she's letting the draug slaughter them."
"by her own standards shes a murderor."

Daza4 · February 2004

"..." *Draws handgun and points it at epoch* "I can't do it, this is pure murder and cowardness. If i want to kill epoch i would rather fighting him hand on hand."

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

Weapons are loaded. But too far away for a dash.

The mech by Deaicnaelo responds back to her in a unkown language.

"If you can't kill him then we will kill those two."

Two of the mechs aim at Deaincaelo and Bill.

"Surely the amount of things you have killed this is no difference ? Now kill him and i'll let you all go free and keep his body once you are escorted to a ship."


344 goes beserk over deaincaelo's comment.

"I HAVE TOLD YOU I AM TRYING TO PREVENT MY KIN FROM DYING !!! WHY DO YOU THINK I'M HAVING A BODY CREATED ??! THEY DIE ON THEIR OWN FREEWILLS !!"

Bill_Door · February 2004

*I turn to Dea*
"Sentient things should have rights. That means humans too.."
*I turn to the mech*
"Strange how the revolutionary applies double standards. But what do I know about it? I'm a medic, not a physcologist."

Daza4 · February 2004

"Oh man this is bullsh*t!" *Points at epoch* "I'm really sorry...." *aims at epoch and moves it to the side aiming at the restraints* *Fires* "Whoops sorry, im a bad shot.."

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

The mech talks back to Bill but not in a language he knows.

[The restraint dents badly but doesn't snap, another shot would destroy it.]

Daza is whacked badly round the head from a mech, he's pulled up by his hair and given another smack round the head, a stream of blood trickles down his head.

"Try that again and i'm ordering them to fire!"

Daza4 · February 2004

"I'm sorry i really do suck at shooting ask bill and dea!"

Daza4 · February 2004

"344, i don't see any point in this... How about we join forces. We could tell the higher ups that if they don't stop useing mechs as targets that we will kill them. A peacefull solution should be tried before action. And you know that 344. Why can't we just get along, i mean we didn't attack the mechs! They attacked us, which is self defence. Now im sure we can find a solution which dosen't involve body bags"

*Fixed mistake*

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

The mechs lower their weapons.

"These higher ups will listen to you ?"

Daza4 · February 2004

"Yes they will. After all these deaths on the station, they would never refuse!"

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

The straps on everyone are released.

"Let me think about it, don't leave here until i say so."

Bill_Door · February 2004

"If they don't, well I'd jump at the chance to quite forceably persuade them to see our side of the picture..."

Daza4 · February 2004

"Thanks, see no blood shed. Cept my face :\ And im glad we got to a agreement."

Cleric_Epoch · February 2004

"Well played Daza, I couldnt have done better myself."
*Wipes a bead of cold sweat from my fore head.*
"You might wanna get that blood cleared up though."

Daza4 · February 2004

"You were scared wern't ya? Heheh Now lets hope that 344 will beleve us. Well beleve me heh. Oh and about the face? I'm fine really..."

Bill_Door · February 2004

*Slumps down against the wall and starts breathing heavily*
"...I... I'm not dead"

Cleric_Epoch · February 2004

"Me scared? Pfft! Never."
*Slumps down next to Bill*
"I've saved you arse enough times. I knew you would repay the favour."

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

"How exactly could you tell your high up people from here and why would they listen to you ?"

Daza4 · February 2004

"Radio maybe? Listen? Damn well better otherwise your army will be breaking down their door!" "we will telll them what happened here, if they beleve us they will be sure to stop useing mechs as targets."

deaincaelo · February 2004

*goes over and examines a mech*
"hmmm, a language center. interesting. i dont remeber this model, but i'm not a tech."
[tries to remeber a test for sencience applicable to the current sitchuation]
"well, 344, part of it would be easy. they dont use sentients like that on terra. been outlawed scince citidel, at least. if you want to prevent lower-class machines, ones that cant make thier own discisions, from being used then your going to have to draw a pritty fine line."
"is this flower intellient enough to be protected *hold up the draug flower and puts it away* is this gun *holds up one of my pistols by the barrel and puts it away* is this mech *points to the mech i was examining* what about a straw practice dummy?"

Daza4 · February 2004

"Dea don't make it worse please. "

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

Daza it's a girl thing just ignore it.

"I'll agree to let you go but that's it, fighting one enemy will be easier than 2, once the Draug are dead then you will come back here, i'll also stop attacking 343, these are custom mechs that's why you don't reconise them, yes they can speak and understand you but respond in a dilect you don't understand."
