Requesting known frequency of body-altering events.

Freelancer York & Delta: The Duchess Milan ordered that I contact you both regarding the possibility of the castle changing my form into an organic being, and the suggested proper actions in case of such an event.

However, an update on the current threat is a primary concern.

MacManus Family: Personal status report, MacManus family.

Requesting update on armory details. Additional weaponry has been acquired in town. Requesting personal storage for 600 pieces of 512 Maxima Rounds for Jericho M13 Deus Irae in armory.

Who're you?

[They've never met, but the Father is talking to a McManus.]

[Oh, he knows. Sneaky bot is sneaky.]

Father HC-IIIX Tres Iqus.

[Ah, the boys spoke of this one.

[He nods.]

Noah McManus.

What's a Jericho M13? Some sort a'gun, I assume.

[Noah knows guns, but this one doesn't sound at all familiar. Anything with Dies Irae in the name can't be all bad.]

Affirmative. They are the largest personal handguns of my world. According to information available in the castle, they are similar to Beretta 90twos.

[Why yes, he can talk guns all day.]

Oh, aye? I had a brace of 'em a couple a' years ago. Lost 'em both, unfortunately.

[He looks over at his leather vest, hanging on the back of the door from a wee hook. It only held one matte silver gun.]

I've a Smith and Wesson, but it's not quite as big. 59, I think, holds 9mm rounds. Never let me down.

[Noah can talk guns, too!]

Sure, and thanks.

So, first off, what's happening is basically that Agent South just arrived. Like me and Washington and Carolina, she was a member of Project Freelancer. Unlike us, she was never rated well enough to get her own AI--which as you might guess, was a significant combat advantage. So when she came into a circumstance where she could get one, well.

She shot Agent Washington in the back and stole Delta.

I am familiar with the manufacturer but not the model, possibly due to the world difference.

[Or. You know. The fact that it's year 3000+]

Are you updated on the church armory situation?

[Well. That's not good.]

Acknowledged. Classified as a traitor?

My boys have mentioned it, but I've not asked. Had other things on my mind. Fill me in.

Affirmative.

Cardinal Sforza previously asked your sons to assist with keeping an armory for the Paradisa residents outside the castle, in case of an emergency. The church that they have been renovating was to be used as a safe zone and weapon storage.

[Noah ponders this.]

Any reason t'believe we're gonna be hit with an 'emergency' anytime soon?

I should get out there an' take a look, regardless.

[To put it lightly. Though at least she's not as bad as the Meta.]

Yeah. She seems to be from a few years before it happened, but if it happened once, it can happen again. The longer we can keep her from knowing about Delta, the better.

So! Concerned about going human for a loss some time?

Positive.

The castle itself is unpredictable, changing scenery and even bodies of residents at random. Any highly illogical situation is possible. Dangers have occurred in the past.

Likewise, there are several dangerous residents present that are liable to harm others, willingly or by 'loss'.

[Thank god for that. =/ ]

Acknowledged. Filing Delta under classified in the presence of Agent South Dakota.

Positive. Gaining an organic body would hinder my primary function by 87%. Emotions are a liability. I could become a potential danger.

[Now you have his attention, though he's not quick to ask who these people are. Not yet.]

Murphy said somethin' about diseased lobsters. That sort'a thing.

This place ever gone out of it's way t'kill people directly? Or is it this ludicrous bullshit all the time?

Negative. I have no data on the castle actively trying to eliminate residents.

Thanks. [Why can't all allies be as cool as Tres?]

Well, I won't deny the emotions being a liability part. If you're anything like Delta, though, they won't be too overwhelming. Your psychology is designed to work without them, so you'll still have your logical thought processes. If you focus on those, you'll be fine.

As far as your functions, you probably have a detailed rundown on the liabilities and limitations in a human body, right? Any reason you couldn't simulate those conditions and practice with them?

M'doin' alright. Mostly helpin' keep an eye on Da till he's better ... but f'you need storage space, we'll get it for ya.

[Awesome bots are a rare commodity, obviously.]

Affirmative. Humans are able to think logically. Emotional responses must be suppressed at all times.

Positive. I have several terabyte of data involving human liabilities and limitations. A functional program could be written, however it would not affect my structure. My weapons are too heavy for an organic body.

[Sadly enough.]

Oh, it's all right to give in to them during downtime. And you should always enjoy the good things - good food, good company, satisfaction in a job well done. Just don't let it get to your head.

What we ought to do is make secondary weapons for you in case it does happen, then. Two sets - one heavier for you to practice with now, and one lighter so you can use it in a human body.

Negative. Any human emotions might endanger the Duchess Milan. I do not recognize pride or shame; it is unnecessary for my function even as a human.

Affirmative. I will find a lighter weapon to replace the Jericho M13 in case of a 'loss' involving transition to an organic body. Fire power will decrease with at least 33%.

I know you don't need them. But if you're experiencing them anyway, there's no harm in them as long as there's no threats around.

If it's lighter, we can probably up the speed to compensate. Do you do semi-automatic or prefer full manual?

Acknowledged. I will calculate the best usage of emotions when there are no threats present.

Positive. Speed would compensate for 47% of the lost damage. I am proficient in either manual or semi-automatic; it is simply a matter of fire power versus speed in different models.

Good. [Because hey, Delta has come to enjoy the time he's been human instead of panicking terribly. It's definitely an improvement.]

Yeah, making it lighter will definitely let you add in some speed. You like pistols, right? I've got some schematics for semi-automatic pistols. Wouldn't be hard to tailor to your preferences.

Do you have parts for constructing a weapon?

Some. If you can provide a full list, I can get you what I don't already have.

Acknowledged. I will get that to you a.s.a.p.

Your assistance is appreciated, Freelancer York.

Hey, any time. Glad to help out a friend.

Aye. Should have 'nuff but won't be too hard t'make more room for whatever y'need.

Edited 2012-04-30 17:42 (UTC)

Acknowledged. It is good that you are functional.

The personal storage of ammunition will cover an area of 2 feet, 3 inches by 3 feet, 5 inches. Additional weaponry will be 7 square feet.

Hmm. [he thinks about it for a second] Should do. [Connor's the one with the head for numbers, though, so he defers to him] What d'ya think?
