Bittersweet Candy Bowl

I don’t know who is using you like this Molly, but I’m gonna do everything I can to stop them. *He pulls out his projector and brings up the ship, marking the location of the panel* Can you make a copy of this data and send it to my pocket projector Molly?

Apalo of course just gets a hell of a glare, body quite tense as she looks away from him, Doctor Lock growling at his inability to notice the obvious “Get the hell out of my sick bay right now before I get someone to drag you out…”

(Haha whatever happened to being ‘depressed when Doctor Lock is around?’ Ah well. Way to flirt with every girl you could in front of her ehn?)

Jimmy, still present in the room, shivers a bit at Doctor Locks anger commenting to the present Daila “… yikes… I’ve never seen her so angry…..um.. is it.. still.. safe to be in here you think..?”

——————————————————————————————————————————

Back out in the hallway Molly gives a nod to her bro, the file transfer starting right away. “Done and done….I still haven’t been able to find the source though… maybe.. I’m just malfunctioning…?”

(Is Jimmy on like, powerful painkillers? after third degree burns on his arms he would not be feeling very good so soon.)

*After guiding Abel, May decides that she will go to the Lounge, hoping that other people swould be headed there as well. Besides, it’s a wide open area she figured it would be safer than one of the small corridors if another one of the wall panels should blow.*

(Lol, *click post* “Oh wait my name!… shit.&rdquo

It’s not malfunctions Molly, someone has sabotaged you, I’m sure of it. *He takes off his glasses and pockets them as well as his pocket projector* I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you stay safe. This person is crafty though Molly, he knows the ins and outs of this station almost as well as I do. I want you to begin creating a back-up of yourself on my pocket projector Molly. Can you do that?

(must sleep now, am still in the doctors office, medbay whatever obseverving the examination of the burnt body)

(i’m not dead right? i didnt backread everything)

(No Aurelius you are not dead heh. Though this thread is a little bit ^_~. Yeah…everyone ended up busy this time around.)

*Worried about Lucy’s continued absence, The Doctor returned to the Lobby in hopes of finding her. He also had a few questions for Zan Dogabay, if he could only find her.*

((Yeah, at work still, so popping in whenever possible.))

(And I have a cal test tommorrow so I’m outta here for now. Assume May is in the lobby with whoever else is around, staying well away from anything liable to explode.)

(Sorry I haven’t been around much, i’ve been having finals lately.)

Ka wakes up in the med bay after resting from his knock to the head only to find his waitress, Rachel, burnt to a crisp on a medical bed near him with doctor Lock making observations.
“Ray!!!Oh god no…Doctor what happened?”

*still reparing himself as he walks down a hallway to an elevator*

“oh wait,this is the elevator that was destroyed..”he said to himself as he looked down when he reached the empty shaft

(had to post,was getting bored)

(This thread has horrible timing, during E3 and finals for some people, anyways I’m bored too so)

*May is sitting alone with her thoughts in the lobby*
Stupid Davier. I always knew you were an idiot, but I never expected you to go and die on me. The closest thing I’ve ever had to family and now… Why is this happening? Is it just malfunction or… No! These people seem so nice, why would any of them try to hurt people…

((Hey, I know that you said alone, but I like being aloof and mysterious for once.))
*Sitting nearby is Sula, whom had found a nice quiet corner of the lobby to get the last of her hangover to go away.*
He was a good man, you know. He died bravely, saving the rest of us. If it weren’t for that one selfless act of sacrifice, there’d be three more bodies over at the med bay.
((And I know that it doesn’t seem like much, but it was A LOT more cinematic when I played it back in my head.))

*Noticing Sula and May, The Doctor approaches the two.*

Sula is right, however his death was the only accidental one on this ship so far. Still, I owe him my life. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.

(I don’t know if anyone else is around so I’ll just post again, unless of course this is ninja’d, in which case someone else is around)
*May is surprised to hear another voice interrupting her thoughts. She jumps a little and gets ready to run, being rather on edge. Noticing it’s just Sula she calms down and flashes an uncertain smile, before moving in to hug the other cat.* (Not a full-on glomp this time, just a hug)

(Edit: typing on a Wii is a very, very slow process)

So you’re saying that the death of Ray was a murder?

((Okay, so I wouldn’t say that we’d have to disregard any posts, but they’re a bit out of order&hellip)

(see my edit for my reasons)

Yes, in fact I believe I was the target, especially when considering the exploding terminal in the engine room that occured right after I left. Someone here knows who I am. Everyone else considered me insane before the station went offline, so the hacker would have had to have known why I went into the engine room earlier.

If what he’s saying is true, then why was Ray attacked?
*May looks at Mike in the eyes and with an inquisitive look and points at the sickbay, hoping that he would understand that she meant Ray*

(Autoplay,Still repairing myself/walking,be back soon)

Molly’s programing has been corrupted, I have a feeling that any minor dislikes she had about a person on board, have now made them targets of a now violent “subconcious programming” brought on by some traumatic event in her past.

((Way to not question the Doctor’s situation there, May.))
Which would explain why high command wanted to get rid of Molly. And if you’re right about the subconscious programming, then we’ve got to figure out what happened all those years ago. I think we should talk to Abel about this…

I agree. The Captain could use some interogation as well. May, you should come with us too.

(Lol, that’s right I don’t know who Mike really is do I)
*Decides to accept Mike’s offer, not knowing how a silent cat could possibly be of any help. She gives Mike a quick inquisitive glance before tgurning to Sula, she inclines her head towards Mike while looking at her as if to say “What’s with this guy”*

Whether or not I tell you’s up to the Doctor here.
*Sula looks over at the Doctor with a questioning look on her face.*

Er…I don’t know if that’s a good idea given her current condition, but she would more likely accept it if you told her.

i’m pretty sure she’s mute too…but I dunno… people say they get these weird ‘feelings’ around her. As if she can tell you what she wants by just staring.

(Don’t worry he Understands it perfectly May ;p. Now just a little excitement for when people come online.)

The Sickbay has been cleared out some now leaving only Doctor Lock, Nurse Dalia, Captain Kane Alek, Son of Ka, and ‘Jimmy’ present. A certain show off of an android having been kicked out due to the Doctors constant commands, the Shiyoian leaving not long after.

Jimmy is doing rather well all things considered his arms almost healed thanks to the advanced tech of the station, not that it stops him from whining any as the Nurse manages his bandages.

Meanwhile Ka looks on with a concerned face, Ray was a good friend, and seeing her like this brings a tear to the aliens eye….though the doctor herself finds her eyes rather watery as she continues the examination. But.. as she does she quirks a brow “That’s strange… it shouldn’t be….”

The Captain is feeling quite better now… only still present in the med bay due to the Doctors instance. The Serious and proud man wanting nothing more but to get up and DO something. Perhaps he’ll soon get the chance? He hears an odd noise…..of clanking and sealing metal his eyes immediately going towards the door.

“We’ve been sealed in…” he proclaims grimly as all those present look towards the Captain.. “…. everyone! Away from anything electrical! NOW”” The Captains instincts seem to play true as just as people start to move away from the walls they light up, much of the high-tech equipment present burning up in coils of blue energy as the less brave in the room cover their heads in fear, huddling together away from the flashes of sparks and machinery that now tears itself apart.

Once it’s all over….wires hang from the ceiling’s, most of the lights are gone, and all present are quite on edge. A strange hissing noise comes next Doctor Lock naturally assuming “… the De-contamination systems…? They shouldn’t still be…”

The Captain just shakes his experience recognizing the sound. “… that isn’t the De-contamination system… something is being sucked -out- not in… the air’s being sucked out of the room….”

——————-

Down in the lobby Molly is present her digital form seeming completely unaware of the events down in Sick bay. Looking quite glum as you might expect…..looking at her hand and wondering if this really is a hackers doing. As such… no one else is aware of what’s going on in sickbay either…

([Semi-Reaction] For those in Sickbay. You’ve been sealed into the medical room! The air is being slowly sucked out and no one outside is aware of what’s going on so you’re going to have to save yourselves. Feel free to assume you have all the medical supplies you’d expect to find in a hospital at your disposal to make your way out….. or at the very least buy you some time. This is only a ‘semi-reaction’ event in the sense you’re free to do anything reasonable, including controlling NPCs, as long as the actual ‘escape’ from the room isn’t assumed)

(For those Outside of Sickbay? Continue to play normally. Discuss the plot, particularly the clues. I’ve provided certain players with information about both the Photo and the deleted message that you can get out of them by pestering them enough)

(I actually intended for this to happen much earlier today, but everyone was always busy. By the time they weren’t most people were asleep instead! So.. instead I’m just going to post it in advance and let people respond as they arrive.)

Current condition? what does he mean by that?
*Gives a quick glare at Mike*
*Turns over to Sue for the explanation*

(Edit: I’m fully aware of my abilities as May, I just don’t want to make things too easy for myself, I chose her so that i could practice actions and non-verbal commiunication in RP. If I just “Thought it to them” it wouldn’t be very good for that now would it?)

Alright May, please don’t think I’m crazy here, but…
*Sula explains, in great detail the nature of the Doctor and his existence.*
It sounds kinda-okay A LOT out there, but…it’s the truth. I know it.

*He bumps into Dr.Mike, not having seen him through his glasses, he drops his projector as he does so. He quickly picks it up and shoves it in his pocket nervously, then pulls off his glasses, he eyes the man nervously* What are you doing here?

((Wat????))

(That’s not very good for the people in the sick bay is it? Considering only me, Sula and Mike seems to be around right now… unless they’re lurking)

*Inquisitively raises her eyebrow, not quite as immediatly accepting of this as truth as Sula was, May decides to take it face-value for now, but is ready in case the doctor decides suddenly to be less passively insame and more actively insane.*

(Edit: well I guess Abel is here too then)

*The Doctor explains his theory to Engineer Abel.*

So now, we’re wondering what may have happened in the past to create such a scenario.

(As I said. I’m going to be waiting for them to come online to post their reactions. The plot will be halted for eternity if I only posted when everyone was present… which given the current status of things…yeah)

((So, does Abel know the Doctor’s story now too?))

(No he does not. The Doctor is just telling him his ‘Molly is killing people she doesn’t like without realizing it’ theory. I imagine Abel will react wonderfully to such an idea ^_^.)

(Nevermind. Thanks)

So what you’re saying is, Molly didn’t like you so she tried to kill you? I’m sorry, but I’ve been working with Molly since I was eight, and she has never killed anyone “Because she didn’t like them”. *He crosses his arms and glares at him* And she loves just about everyone who has ever come onto this station. I know her AI inside out, and there’s no way she could do that. Besides, one of her favourite people on this station was Ray, so why would Molly kill her? Don’t try and tell me what Molly could be doing, I know her program inside and out, and she is not capable of that.

Well…what about sabotage? Perhaps someone has been tampering with Molly herself. It doesn’t take a genius to hijack an AI…well, not a COMPLETE genius, but you get my reasoning.

I didn’t mean she didn’t like me. The hacker saw me as a potential threat, which I’m sure was the same reason the console blew up in the engine room. As for Ray. (Points at her description. “Really doesn’t like people who take life seriously, like Gramps and Abel.&rdquo I personally didn’t know her, but she might have been on to something and was killed as a result.

(Do any of us know about the event 16 years ago, or is Aurelius the only one who saw the message, I believe he told Abel as well though. I know May doesn’t but&hellip
I wonder if anything like Mike’s idea has happened in the past to other A.I.s.

(May was around when Aurelius brought it up. Feel free to assume knowledge has been shared around during the AFK times in the lobby)

Do you have any idea what that deleted message was refering to?

*He growls to himself as he turns away from them* So you heard about that? It just talked said that the Molly AI needed to be….”reset”…I don’t want to talk about it.

Deleted…deleted soon enough for my Captain to have seen it, or deleted so quickly that it was intercepted and then trashed?

I’m guessing niether you, nor the Captain would do such a thing. Don’t you think it’s likely that a government agent was sent to ensure that task?

Hmmm, what about the event sixteen years ago?
*May tries to get Abel’s attention, and draws counter-clockwise circles with her finger to indicate the past, hoping that he would understand*

*He ignores Mike and just watches May do her hand gestures* Round? Circle? I can’t understand you, does anyone know what she is trying to say?

*Facepalms*
*Writes 16 in the air and repeats previous gesture*
*Looks at Abel insistantly*
