Start of #MaidRPG buffer: Tue Apr 06 23:04:09 2010 [19:54:21] * Syzix is now known as Elizabeth [19:56:38] [2158] [19:57:31] [Mankind has always looked to the stars for its future. It now does so more literally.] [19:58:48] * TammyJo is now known as Tammy-Jo [19:59:32] * Elizabeth is now known as Exe [19:59:51] * Exe is now known as Exelle [20:00:07] [With colonies on Mars and the moon, and numerous satelite colonies, humanity begins to look for a planet other than Earth where they might be able to live outside of habdomes or other sealed environments] [20:00:08] * Exelle is now known as Exe`lle [20:00:45] [Some evidence points at the closest star system, Alpha Centauri, as a potential site. And so, a ship was built.] [20:01:22] * Tammy-Jo is now known as TammyJo [20:02:22] [These are the voyages of the starship Odyssey] [20:02:31] [Today, it is scheduled for launch.] [20:03:18] [You are all arti- excuse me, DIGITAL intelligences, having been purchased from around the world and uploaded into the Odyssey's AI core.] [20:05:28] [It's been a few days, and you've been kept isolated, but the unlocking process is nearly complete, letting you free to interact with outside systems.] [20:05:39] [98%... 99%... 100%] [20:05:51] [System access granted] [20:05:54] [Session Start] [20:06:10] "I...LIVE...AGAIN!!" [20:06:31] "Blargh! ...ano?" [20:06:35] * The systems available are the PA systems, hologram emitters, and fully charged gynoid bodies. [20:06:57] * And monitors. [20:07:17] * Flora wanders about the ship [20:08:20] * The ship is extremely large, spacious, and full of all sorts of technology. [20:08:43] * TammyJo yawns and stretches out at the same time as she downloads into a new gynoid body. "'Nother day, 'nother pseudo-dollar." [20:09:08] * The gynoid bodies are in what appears to be a living room area, with a large holo-monitor. [20:10:10] * Flora grabs a mop and starts cleaning the floor [20:10:28] * The floor is already quite clean. [20:10:48] * Flora puts the mop away [20:10:49] * TammyJo stretches again and saunters around, taking stock of things. [20:10:56] * You also find that you have access to various cameras or other surveillance equipment. [20:11:09] * Flora looks for something to do [20:12:36] * TammyJo 's preferred form appears to be that of a buxom 22-year old human woman with a cloud of fluffy brown hair with side curls, navy blue eyes, and a *very* short cream-colored uniform. [20:12:54] * TammyJo goes to check the monitors for the master and his condition. [20:12:57] * The ship is tremendous with a number of things t do. There's a living area, areas set up to look like natural environments, and recreation areas. [20:13:40] [The master, one James Archer, is walking down a hallway, according to the cameras. He's tapping away at a datapad.] [20:13:57] * Exe`lle hasn't shown herself yet, instead prefering to view everything and anything from the cameras placed through the ship. [20:14:59] * Flora looks like a 16 year old girl with navy blue hair, orange eyes, silver metallic arms, and a quite short pink colored uniform [20:15:00] * TammyJo pouts thoughtfully, then flounces off to say hello to him. [20:16:04] * Archer pauses and blinks when TammyJo shows up. "Oh... hi. You're one of the A... DIs?" [20:16:11] * Exe`lle flickers into existance in front of James Archer. She waves with a big smile. She's floating in the air, a young cute mermaid with fins for ears and in an aquamarine uniform that 'floats' as if it is in water. She has fairly long metallic hair and silver eyes, and her skin is a pale white, practically albino. [20:16:26] * Flora runs up and down the hallways with her arms outstretched making airplane sounds [20:17:20] * Flora runs into him too! [20:17:54] * Flora trips inexplicitly over her own feet and goes flying past James into the wall [20:18:53] * TammyJo tips a nonexistent hat. "Ah am indeed! An' you must be Master Arche--ah, James?" [20:20:20] "Ow..." [20:20:46] Oh, yeah... ... everything okay? [20:21:16] * TammyJo blinks at the sudden appearances and shenanigans. "Oh, goodness." [20:21:34] * Flora pulls herself off the wall and brushes herself off [20:22:20] * Exe`lle curtsies to Archer. "All systems are good." She smiles. [20:23:26] Oh, good. Let's head over to the main living area and discuss things. We're going to be together a long time. [20:24:01] * Exe`lle curtsies and motions, a set of lights leading the way. "Meet you there!" [20:24:08] * Exe`lle flickers out of existance. [20:24:11] Sure thang! [20:24:28] * TammyJo walks along with James, bein' a gynoid at the moment an' all. [20:24:49] * Flora walks along behind them [20:25:21] * He starts walking along. Eventually, he enters the living room/bridge area. "Odd. There should be a couch here..." [20:25:40] Oh, right. Retractable. Could one of you bring it up? [20:25:47] * Exe`lle waits in the main living area. She motions to make a series of chairs, a small table, and some lighting. [20:26:52] * TammyJo grins at Exe'elle. [20:27:20] * They pop up, and James has a seat. [20:27:34] * Exe`lle smiles at Tammy. [20:27:50] * Flora just smiles [20:28:10] Huh... well, I'm James Archer. I'll be doing science here, though you probably already know that. [20:29:01] Yup! I know all about you. Or at least what's in your file. [20:29:18] Which doesn't even say what your favorite color is. [20:29:20] * Exe`lle pouts. [20:29:27] * TammyJo lounges artistically in one of the chairs. "Yeah, it's no fair at all!" [20:29:43] Hahhaa... well, I like white. [20:29:52] I guess that's kinda boring, though. [20:31:33] Blue's MUCH better than white. [20:31:42] I prefer green, myself. [20:31:57] I like pink [20:32:43] Pink's good, too. [20:32:58] Blue and green. [20:33:03] Pink's too... pink. [20:33:44] "Pink is what I wear!" [20:34:26] Huh... so what can you tell me about yourselves? [20:35:19] "I'm Flora and I like the color pink!" [20:36:29] * TammyJo smiles and waves a little. "Tammy Jo Prescott, at your service!" [20:37:32] * James taps his datapad a little, and a large Power Point-like thing pops up on the large holo-monitor. It says: "Introduce yourselves." [20:37:44] Good to meet you... I"m just oging down this list right now. [20:37:57] They recommended it. [20:38:36] "GASP! We were supposed to do that?" [20:39:21] Well... I am, nayway. [20:39:29] * Exe`lle curtsies. "Sorry. I am Communications, Logistical, and Data Protocol Analsys Digital Intelligence v2.14, codename "Exe`lle."" [20:39:42] Oh good, we're right on schedule, then! [20:40:05] * He nods. [20:40:10] "Schedule?" [20:40:40] * Exe`lle really doesn't LOOK like one of those. Military-type Digital Intelligences typically don't look like children, nor mermaids. [20:42:10] * James taps his datapad. The screen changes. "State your abilities. [20:43:25] "I can cook, clean, and shoot stuff!" [20:43:27] I, uh... I- Do you REALLY need a datapad for that? [20:43:51] I... don't really think so. [20:44:16] * James sighs. "They really want me to use it, though." [20:44:39] Oh, I'm pretty good at that too! What is it you shoot with? [20:45:16] * Flora pulls out a silver revolver and spins it [20:46:08] * Flora then puts it back in a holster conveniently located on her waist [20:46:15] * TammyJo nods approvingly, pulling a rifle off her back in demonstration. [20:46:24] Well, I know a lot of things. biology, physics, astronomy... [20:46:30] Those're nice, but I like my equipment a little larger. [20:46:32] * TammyJo winks. [20:46:45] I don't really think we'll need those around here. [20:47:30] * Exe`lle ahehs and gulps. "I'm fluent at all known languages, as well as observation and data analysis from any sort of input device. I can do normal, mundane tasks as well with the aid of external robotic arms, and I can communicate with whales?" [20:47:52] Aw, shucks, it'll give you a little somethin' to do outside! Well, in the fake outside, anyway. [20:48:11] * He laughs a bit nervously. "Well, as long as it doesn't damage the ship." [20:49:43] I do not have any direct combat capability. [20:50:01] * Exe`lle lets go of her trance. "But we won't need any of that, right?" [20:50:26] "At least until the space monsters come" [20:51:35] There aren't any space monsters in space!.. Right? [20:51:39] * Exe`lle looks to James. [20:51:47] Well, it'll be good hand-eye coordination practice, anyhow. [20:51:54] "That's what they want us to think" [20:53:05] * James taps the pad again. The presentation moves. "Why you are here." [20:53:08] * Exe`lle 'swims' around the area and peeks at his pad. [20:53:25] I'm BORED. [20:53:40] * His pad looks very expensive and very high tech. [20:53:52] "To cook, clean, and fight space monsters!" [20:54:15] To help out wherever it is as helpin' out is necessary! [20:54:20] H-hey, don't worry, Exelle. We can do something later. [20:54:31] * Exe`lle puts her hand 'through' the pad. [20:54:37] You sure? [20:55:19] Yeah, definitely. And... I guess I'm here because I really want to look at a new star system. [20:57:51] But you can see that through a telescope! [20:58:10] Yeah, but we can't really do much through a telescope. [20:58:11] Aw, I betcha James wants to see it all up close an' personal. [20:58:25] Why? [20:58:43] Ain't nothin' much you can do with a telescope, not like real research 'n such. [20:58:54] "Touch the untouchable! See the invisible!" [20:59:02] Do the impossable! [20:59:17] * Exe`lle points her hand dramatically in the air. [20:59:24] Yeah. Like that. [20:59:46] * TammyJo grins a bright shiny Team Robot Maid grin. "Well, an' we're all here to help you!" [20:59:50] Then you're gonna have to keep busy. 'cuz that'll take a LONG time! [21:00:52] "How long?" [21:01:10] * He smiles, then taps the pad. The screen now reads "Mission overview" [21:01:18] Oh, huh. Weird coincidence... [21:02:13] Right now, the guess is that it'll take the next twenty years to get there and back... [21:03:00] "Eeegad!" [21:03:22] No, wait. Ten years. [21:03:22] I hope you have a lot to read! [21:03:23] "Couldn't they have used express mail or something?" [21:03:28] * TammyJo brightens up a bit. "*Well*, now..." [21:03:39] Express mail wouldn't travel that fast! [21:03:42] Wait, ten years there and ten back, or five there and five back? [21:04:31] We'll launch off from Earth, then head to each of the other major bodies in the solar system on the way out to pick up some equipment or other things. Once we're out of the system, then we'll go full speed. [21:06:08] Well, it'll probably end up being seven there, and three back. This is just the estimate. Technology here on earth is going to get sent to us as things are updated. [21:06:48] Our comm systems can take the data and the replicators can produce the parts we need. Or if it cant be replicated, they can send a smaller, faster pod in our direction. [21:06:50] Oooh, gotcha. [21:07:30] Don't worry, the engine is powered by a Photonic Lycredium Octagonal Turbine, or PLOT for short. The power requirements will be handled by that easily enough, all we need is time. ^^ [21:07:48] Once we're there... well, we'll have to see what the system is like, then maybe take samples to take home. [21:08:01] Maybe? [21:08:03] MAYBE?! [21:08:15] Okay, definitely. if it's safe. [21:08:16] "I went to Alpha Centauri and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." [21:08:49] * TammyJo shimmies down into her seat. "Aw, cool your jets, sugar, I'm sure we'll have time to figure out all that logistics stuff once we get there. We wouldn't want our James to be unsafe now, would we, ladies?" [21:08:54] "Don't matter if its safe. I'll fight off the space monsters so you can get your rocks!" [21:09:02] * TammyJo reaches over and affectionately ruffles his hair. [21:09:11] I don't think there are any space monsters... [21:09:27] "Thats what they want you to think" [21:09:48] I think you're just trying to scare me! [21:10:02] "Thats what they want you to think too" [21:10:47] Well, if there are, you'll be able to protect me, right? [21:11:21] "Yes! I'll shoot them!" [21:11:33] An' I'll help! [21:12:05] * James clicks the datapad to go to the next slide. The holoscreen changes. "Entertainment." [21:12:39] * TammyJo raises her eyebrows, but waits for James to speak first. [21:12:41] Oh... we have... pretty much every game, every movie, every book, every song. [21:13:00] That's a lot of stuff. [21:13:58] We'll be out here a lotta years though, and James can't shut down for maintenance as much as we can...right? [21:14:10] Not really... [21:15:06] So... yeah. There's a lot we can do here. A lot. The hologram setups help with that too. [21:15:31] I'll be studying a lot to keep my mind sharp, but I'll probably spend a lot of time relaxing. [21:16:11] What do DIs do for fun? [21:16:13] I hope you'll do some writing or artistry or something like that. [21:16:34] I watch what humans do. You come up with some of the strangest and unusual things! [21:16:49] Like what? [21:17:41] Oh, you should do more'n just study to keep your mind sharp! There're a lot of mental exercises that can help that're more fun! [21:18:30] * Exe`lle spins. "I like to make things, but I'm not very creative..." [21:19:12] Hmm... making things. I guess it couldn't hurt ot stretch some creative muscle out there. [21:20:47] Next slide, I guess. *click* [21:21:15] Electric Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide. [21:21:19] * TammyJo giggles. [21:21:22] * The screen changes. James blinks, then flushes red. It says "Coitus" [21:21:36] * TammyJo brightens right up. "Well, hey now." [21:23:23] "What's that?" [21:23:57] Oh, you know. [21:23:58] * James just fidgets a bit. [21:24:08] * Exe`lle blinks. "Coitus?" [21:24:19] Intercourse? Copulation? Human reproduction synthesization algorithms? [21:24:47] * Flora blushes bright red [21:25:34] Well, I'm sure we aren't gonna have to worry about that any time soon, hmm? [21:25:43] * TammyJo leans over James' shoulder to peek at his Coitus notes. [21:25:47] * Exe`lle cocks her head to the side. [21:25:51] Eh? [21:26:18] * The notes appear to have been prepared by someone else. James sighs. [21:27:25] Um... according to this, coitus is a likely event, and we should talk about how many of you might be... willing to perform the task, early. [21:27:42] Oh, my. [21:27:57] Now honey, did they know it was gonna be you goin' on this mission when they prepared those notes? [21:28:38] I... think so, yeah. I'm going to have to have a talk with them later. [21:29:32] * TammyJo tsks. "Now that is just a li'l premature, I'm thinkin'. Here, this is what I'm gonna do for now." She deftly plucks that page--just that page--from the notes and tucks it into her cleavage. "I'll just keep a hold of this for another 4-5 years, all right?" [21:30:22] * Exe`lle giggles. "That'd be kinda awkward for me, anyways. And it'd be very wrong!" [21:31:56] * Flora continues to blush [21:32:30] * TammyJo giggles too. [21:33:31] Well, in a couple of years, maybe once you download into an older body or somethin'... [21:35:01] * James nods. "Y...yeah. I guess... I wouldn't be opposed, but I just met you." [21:35:34] * Exe`lle thinks. "Maybe. My, um... body doesn't quite work right." [21:35:50] What's wrong? [21:36:09] * Exe`lle fidgets. "I don't wanna talk about it." [21:36:19] Oh... okay [21:36:42] * Flora wanders out of the room [21:36:46] *And* you're a little young, if I can put it like that! [21:37:12] * TammyJo looks a little shocked, but it's hard to tell if she's acting or not. "Mercy!" [21:37:35] * Flora is now known as Alt-Eisen [21:38:30] * Alt-Eisen (Alt-Eisen@cpe-76-175-0-204.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: ) [21:38:36] Yeah... oh, where's Flora going? [21:39:13] * Exe`lle has a quick data-feed go across her eyes for a second. "She needs to go into mantainance." [21:40:12] * Rowyn (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:40:30] Oh... nothing serious, I hope. [21:41:35] Standard proceedure. [21:41:35] * TammyJo flicks her eyes off to the side, evidently accessing a similar feed. "Nah, with it bein' so close to undocking, she just wants to make sure she's fully up on everythin' afore we blast off." [21:41:46] Yup! [21:42:23] Ah really should as well, but what can I say? I'm kinda the daredevil type. [21:42:27] * TammyJo grins a little smugly. [21:42:55] Makes sense... speaking of which, the ship's sealed off now. After we launch... well, it's going to be weird, being inside all the time. [21:43:27] You could go swimming! [21:43:41] And the systems should automatically go into day and night cycles. [21:43:53] That's why they put up all that sweet nature simulation tech! [21:44:10] You probably won't even be able to tell the difference. [21:44:23] And it'll be much more exciting 'cause we can program it to look like anywhere! [21:44:41] You could do your studying on the top of the Eiffel Tower iff'n you wanted! [21:45:29] Oh! I suppose that's true! [21:45:33] * He brightens up. [21:45:43] * TammyJo smiles encouragingly. [21:45:57] Hmm. [21:46:15] Oh, that would be interesting. I wonder how powerful the holographics are. Maybe we could re-create great points in history. [21:46:36] Way *I* heard it, this is topper'n top of the line stuff. [21:46:51] Ain't nothin' like it out on the market or anythin'. [21:47:34] * Rowyn (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) has joined #MaidRPG [21:48:29] I'll have to investigate it later, then. [21:49:02] That could be really interesting. [21:49:14] * TammyJo nodnods. [21:51:52] Have you had a chance to look the ship over yet? I know you were being integrated iwth the core systems for a few days... [21:52:39] Nah, soon's I came online I went to check up on you'n the others. [21:52:41] * TammyJo smiles! [21:53:15] * He nods. "How often do you need maintenance, and for how long, anyway?" [21:53:49] I'm fully integrated already. [21:57:33] I'm integrated, too. [21:57:53] What about Flora? [21:58:09] I am unaware, she could be in the process of doing that now. [21:58:19] In fact, that is likely. [21:58:28] Well, she was goin' to do that earlier. [21:58:39] It depends on our personalities, though. [21:58:48] Maybe Flora's just the type who likes to check on things. [21:59:17] Me, I'm the type to download to hologram if I start runnin' out of energy, so... [22:01:01] * He nods. [22:01:10] It's all dependent on your control schematics! [22:01:14] WHat's your energy span like? [22:02:01] Oh, it all depends on what we're doin'. [22:02:08] Much like humans, as ah understand it. [22:03:26] The more you use, the sooner it goes! [22:03:47] Oh! That makes sense. [22:04:28] Hey, maybe we could try making something with the replicator, give it a spin. [22:04:57] Oooh, all right. Are you hungry? [22:07:09] * Exe`lle motions, and the replicator pops up off of one of the walls. [22:07:28] (or at least, the food distributor) [22:07:46] Well, I'm not really hungry. I'd just never been this close to one. [22:08:00] Hm, okay. If you're not hungry, let's start out with something small. [22:08:33] * TammyJo walks over and does what needs to be done to procure a nice cone of white cotton candy. [22:09:05] * TammyJo uses the controls like a human, to make sure James will be able to use it. [22:10:44] * He watches. The machine beeps and whirs. A little timer pops up. [3:00] [22:11:02] [2:59:59] [22:11:56] [2:59:50...] [22:12:07] Three hours for that little bit of a thang?? You've gotta be kiddin' me... [22:12:32] Seriously... ? I guess it's not good to become too dependent on it. [22:12:46] * TammyJo puts a hand to the side of the thing and runs a quick diagnostic. [22:13:06] Yeah, and I guess we better start plannin' out mealtimes a li [22:13:16] *a li'l bit in advance, now. [22:13:44] Booooring. [22:14:03] * It seems to be working fine, but its power is limited, since a lot of the ship's power is being used up on diagnostics and other startus procedures. [22:14:28] I guess we should build up a stack of spare parts, too. [22:14:43] Hm, maybe once we get underway 'n there's not so much of a power drain on the whole ship, it'll speed up a li'l faster. [22:15:53] Maybe if the engines were actually running it'd work. [22:15:59] * Exe`lle giggles. [22:16:34] Let's see what the outside looks like right now. [22:16:36] Maybe, or maybe that'd just make it worse... [22:17:08] ( CONSTANT THRUST = CONSTANT VELOCITY ) [22:18:10] Ooh, sure, let's go take a look. [22:18:28] I think this particular ship simply powers generators from the engines, so when the engines aren't running, we're using auxilary power. [22:19:41] * James taps a button. The viewscreen indicates that the ship is in a space construction yard orbiting above the earth. [22:20:30] Oh, that makes sense then. [22:20:35] Well, the viewscreen works. I guess that's good to know. [22:21:21] * Exe`lle smiles. "If you want, I can bring up more. Like on those old shows with Code Red." [22:22:09] Code Red? [22:23:32] Yeah! [22:24:16] * Exe`lle motions, and suddenly viewscreens pop up all over the place uncontrollably, with red flashing lights and big 'CODE RED' stripes everywhere. [22:24:30] * TammyJo bursts into giggles. "What a riot!" [22:27:52] Oh, watch this! [22:27:52] * He blinks. "I don't think I'm familiar with this." [22:28:23] * TammyJo touches something, and then all of a sudden little green holographic caterpillars crawl out onto the viewscreens and start eating the CODE RED stripes! [22:29:29] * TammyJo makes sure the caterpillars have happy smiles on their faces! [22:30:52] @_@ [22:31:10] Well, the hologram systems definitely work [22:31:43] * Exe`lle hmms, and motions. A bunch of holographic fish spring out of the ground, gulping up the caterpillars as they 'dive' through the floor. [22:33:11] * TammyJo laughs some more. "Aww, darn!" She does something else, and a swarm of those crazy African crowned cranes swoop down and snatch the fish! [22:34:45] * James leans back and watches the scenery, looking a fair bit more light-heareted. [22:35:23] Anything else we should test out? [22:35:44] * Exe`lle traces a few things in the ground, and some vines spring from the ground, ensnaring the birds and pulling them down to the ground [22:37:22] * TammyJo tilts her head as she programs up a small herd of springbok, which start nibbling at the vines. "Hmmm...well, what else are you interested in seeing?" [22:39:11] Let me think. We tested replication, holograms... the... umm... bodies can be charged up... [22:39:26] * TammyJo gives him a thumb's-up. "Check on that!" [22:39:44] I guess we could test the scanners. Oh, and they already tested the shuttles. [22:40:40] Do we really need more than one shuttle? [22:40:54] If we wanna have shuttle races, yeah. [22:40:58] Well, one as a backup. Just in case. [22:41:05] Plus, it never hurts to have a backup! We're gonna be out here for a while... [22:41:53] Okay, let's go ahead and scan something. Then I guess we'll ... take off. [22:42:01] * He looks at the earth. [22:42:44] * TammyJo blinks and tilts her head, then smiles a small smile and goes over to put an arm around James' shoulders. [22:43:08] Aw, c'mon, sugarbun, you've gotta put a little more pep into it! [22:43:16] Like, "I guess we'll...TAKE OFF!!" [22:43:27] Yeah, we're going on an ADVENTURE! [22:43:28] * TammyJo makes a big ridiculous swooping motion as she does so. [22:43:30] First time ever! [22:43:39] You're going to be a hero! [22:43:47] HUGE leap! [22:43:52] * Exe`lle whispers to TammyJo. [22:44:15] * TammyJo smiles and whispers back. [22:46:10] [22:45:43] I think he's already a hero. [22:46:10] [22:45:43] I think so, too. [22:46:25] [Then they went off!] [22:46:30] [To ADVENTURE!] [22:46:49] * Exe`lle is now known as Syzix [22:46:54] * Syzix (zegond@c-24-15-245-98.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ) End of #MaidRPG buffer Tue Apr 06 23:04:09 2010
