I use my droid for...

"You killed him." She said this with a straight face. "I can't pay him back, even if I wanted to. Fortunately enough, he was a nobody, and his death will remain unnoticed." At least, she figured as much. He appeared to be one of those unsavory and incompetent types who was looking for someone to do the dirty work for him. And such had been his fate - killed by a fembot.

Soulless and beautiful. Excellent ending to his story, so far as Circe cared.

"Hmm... Right." Her droid would stare back at her, and tries to get abit more comfy with the blanket. Another slight tear is heard, and she would stop. "Creator, maybe you should take back the blanket. I do not wish to bring more harm to it... for my sake and yours." With that, she would try to remove the blanket from her, and went to lightly give it back to Circe.

"That makes sense." When offered the blanket by Aisha herself, she took it, placing it aside as she paused, pondering what was next. "As much as I hate to do this, after I reprogram you - I think I'm going to try and sell you again." A frown came to her face - she didn't want to, but she didn't really have much else of a choice. "You need to be back in the field doing what you were designed for."

She did stir some powerful memories up inside Circe, however.

"Yes Creator." She slowly nods. The Droid would look around, wondering what her Creator will re-program her. "..I'll always return when they don't need me anymore Creator. Just think of that, so you aren't that worried. ...Is... that the right context?" She would then stand up, and went to stand infront of Circe. "What I speak though, is true."

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"Worried?" She gave a soft chuckle. "I've never been worried about you, Aisha. I designed you so that you would be fully capable of taking care of yourself. I know that wherever you are, with whatever you're doing, you're gonna be able to fully take care of yourself. Spent enough time making you a human replica droid for a reason, after all." A fair enough assessment, but Circe had fallen short in one key aspect - she had only given Aisha basic self-awareness, nothing human-like at all.

In retrospect, that was a bit of an issue.

Once again, she would nod. "I know this Creator. I could, very well, kill you, and leave this ship unhindered. For an Example. Not saying that I will, for I cannot harm you. Your things, yes, but not you." With that, she would start to leave the room. Heading to where the maintinence room is. If this room she is currently is in, is that room, then she was slightly unaware of it.

"Um... Aisha, the lab's right here." She motioned to the laboratory room the two of them had been in. "That's another glitch I'll need to fix... Anyways, if you'll sit down here in the nearby chair, I'll get to work." She picked up a helmet-like contraption that was wired to a nearby computer console - from here, she would be able to easily tinker with Aisha's programming once the droid herself went into stasis mode.

When she woke up, maybe she would view things more like a human would.

She slowly blinks. "...Right... right... Maybe something is wrong with me." Her droid would go back to her, and sat down in a chair nearby. Once situated, she would close her eyes and 'sleep' so to speak. Allowing her creator to re-program a few things, and fix some bugs, and other things like that.

 

[Onrai]

There were three main modifications Circe needed to make to her creation's programming. The first would certainly have to be increased awareness, as that glitch was rather surprising to encounter. Second, she would need to give Aisha a love for fuzzy stuff. And third, she would copy over some of the base code from SARI into Aisha's intelligence - the code that allowed the HRD to experience emotions. Soon, the upgrade would be complete and Circe would awaken her construct once again.

Maybe she would be a bit more human-like.

With the re-programming done, Aisha started a re-booting process. It would take her several moments to understand and realize what this new program does. Eventually, the droid would open her eyes, and takes a calm, deep breath of air. "..Hello Creator." Again, she spoke without emotion. "I'm going to assume your finished?"

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"Indeed... Hopefully these updates will fix a few of the bugs with your previous firmware." The lack of emotion, however, seemed to indicate that perhaps the updates had not yet set in. And if that was the case... Well, there were indeed issues. "If I might ask, and I'm not sure if you'll know exactly how to respond to this - how do you feel?"

She wasn't human, after all - she didn't 'feel' in the usual sense.

 

[Aisha Savan]

[member="Enigma"]

She nodded at her Creator, and then would go to get off of the chair. "Feel? ...I feel the clothes I am wearing, the ground which I walk on, and some of the air presure inside this room." She has stated, though her face looks slightly unsure of the question, and if she has answered it correctly or not.

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"I mean emotion-wise, Aisha." She paused. "I programmed you with code from Sari that should give you the ability to feel emotions now - fear, courage, happiness, sadness... Etcetera. So how do you feel right now?" Such was something she very much was concerned about, after all. Aisha needed to become more and more perfect with each update.

That was perfection ex machina, after all.

 

[Aisha Savan]

[member="Enigma"]

"...Confused..." She gave her a blank stare with this. "Possibly. I don't know." The girl would shake her head. It is true, she could just scan her memory banks for the emotions that her Creator has just given her, but how can one understand if no one gives her any examples of each one. "Creator, can I just be sold again so I can do what you programmed me to do?"

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"I can try to do such, I suppose. I don't really want to see you go and accidentally harm someone else, though - that would be a big issue on my side of things. Not to mention I'd have to occasionally call you back for firmware updates, unless you'd like me to send you those wirelessly. That system's a bit experimental." She wasn't trying to keep Aisha away from everyone - she just didn't want more unintentional blood on the HRD's hands.

Really.

 

[Aisha Savan]

[member="Enigma"]

She slightly shook her head. "I'll just try to be more careful, and aware of what is going on. If it becomes an issue, you can just as easily destroy me as you have created me. Though, Death does not seem something I look forward to." She would express some-type of depression, but inside she was blunt, and to the point. Aisha would not care if she died, only that she did what she is programmed to do.

Be sold. Kill. Re-call. Sold. Kill. Re-call.

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"Aisha, don't say that. You have value as an individual, which is more than I can say for most droids. Not to mention that I absolutely hate to destroy things I've created. You're extraordinarily valuable, and I spent many millions of credits to ensure that you would be the fully functional, practically human death machine that you love being. You do experience love for your work, don't you?"

If she didn't, well... That would be sad. No love, no pleasure, no enjoyment... No fulfillment.

"I don't really. I'm just bits of machinary, created by you to hunt down and kill people." She would stand back up, and slightly stretches. She would then put her left hand behind her right shoulder, and moves ehr right arm in a circle. After that, she would address her creator once more. "Yes. I- enjoy feeling the other persons blood on me. It... It feels wonderful even..." She stated with a cold-hearted emotion, but smiled shortly after.

 

[Onrai]

[member="Aisha Savan"]

"So it feels wonderful when you kill." She paused, scratching her head and wondering if she'd actually gotten the code inputted right. It was an emotional reaction, but it was so, so twi- Never mind, it's an emotional reaction so it didn't really matter. Her being able to feel at least one emotion meant she had improved by at least a tidbit thanks to the new coding.

"What other emotions do you feel?"

 

[Aisha Savan]

[member="Enigma"]


Killing. It was what she was created for. Why wouldn't she enjoy it? "I feel... ..Nothing else currently. I..I might need more examples." Her droid stated. How can one know what the emotions are if she doesn't understand? "Maybe I'll understand more in due time. For now though, can I please be sold? My... finger is getting edgy..."
