Hey, sup. Don't worry, we're here. We might be the backup, but I'm sure we're a way better AI than that wussy master that just switched off.

For instance, we already got access to this place's logs. You're on an alien (Astranian?) transport ship, that's bringing home some evil magic rock that drove 3 of it's crew insane. Apparently they thought everything would be fine if they shielded it, despite any evidence or understanding.

By the way, the alarm's going off. They know you're here already. ...pretty sure that's guards coming your way, and they aren't happy.

OW, right in the stable memory. well good news is our decision making is still decent, bad news is we have no idea who you are or what your here to do.

Start movin', soldier. Fast and silent. Can you break into that door to your right?

Lie flat on your back on the floor and giggle to yourself. That will lull them into underestimating you and they can drag you off to their space holding cell or whatever. Then you strike! And by strike I mean sing show tunes.

knock them out and keep going. you have a mission and being known for not killing everything randomly will help.

...we could try explaining you're not here to attack them? A non-com might be more amicable to listening or giving up intel that a humorless soldier sent to intercept you.

I mean, do you even have a mission, here? I kind of got the impression the teleport dumped you at an unknown, unintentional location. We're in survive and improvise mode, aren't we?

They could still be savages about it, but at least you didn't help.

>>458159
There's a psi-hazard artifact on board. Don't look at camera feeds, and avoid the area it's in.

You injected her with a paralytic, so she's still awake. You should probably be polite about all this, since it was your equipment that screwed up. Pick her up and carry her with you while you go hack the ship's map. If you set her down then put her on her stomach, not her back or in a chair.
"Hello. Sorry for popping in unannounced; my equipment malfunctioned and dropped me on your ship. I'll be gone as soon as I sort this out, and I'll try to avoid causing you problems in the meantime.
Don't worry, you'll be fine once it wears off."

^This and-

>>458182

^this look as good enough choices. We're here because of an accident, no need to act like a dick.

But yeah, hack the computer (avoid looking at security feeds) and bring the alien along with you. Also, maybe it's just me, but check that the paralytic you injected the alien with doesn't clash with it's biology, would be pretty funny if it died from an allergic reaction to an incompatible chemical.

ok AI, there are three place we can hide for now:
Option 1: we can access the ventilation shafts and use them to sneak around the ship, but the only entrance large enough is far from here.
Option 2: we could enter one of the six storage areas, they're full of crates and containers where we can hide and it's relatively close,but it's still kind of exposed.
Option 3: this one is the closest but risky, we can access it through this back door and one small hallway trip. it's some manner of chemical processor, it's out of the way making it unlikely anyone will go there for some time.

...she doesn't really look like she's enjoying her situation very much. And this is why, even with a gene lock, they should have still password protected the computer access! Sloppy.

We should leave the girl here, upright at the computer. To a casual observer, nothing will look wrong (until they try to talk to her, of course). We don't want her seeing which way you go, or hearing you speak the destination aloud, either.

1 sounds ideal in the long term, but doesn't help us right now. Any place we hide though, we want to be able to use our time productively. Is a chemical processing lab or cargo more useful to us?

talk under your breath, say "yes a storage area" but then go to the processor.

Are you sure you want to get your head scanned? I am just wondering how the others will react if they find out that you have been compromised. Or will they even believe you when you start screaming about voices in your head.
You might get locked up for who knows how long, or worse turned into a test animal.
What you should do is calm down and tell the medical drones that you are fine. If you still feel like it you can be scanned after things settle down.

But you are free to do whatever you want, its not like we can control you. We are actually pretty harmless.

Yeah, yeah. Fine. We're a harmless mental radio transmission. You're not crazy. We're an AI that advises the guy you ran into before. He's not a threat either, by the way. We random-ported aboard, and are mostly concerned with not getting killed.

You could run to your med people and have us cleansed from your system. Probably. But from what we've seen so far, the safety and health of personnel kind of isn't first priority round here. So you may not fare so well confessing to being compromised. ...and with that glowing crazy-making rock on board they might not listen too closely to the girl claiming to hear voices...

I never heard of them having such advances technology, and you really want me to believe that monster appeared on our ship by chance, just when we are carrying that stone back to our main research planet?

Uh yeah, he's human, -ish, I think.

Can't explain a lot of his backstory, though. Our memory was damaged coming here, and we're running on backups atm.

But yeah, long range teleport malfunction dumped us here. From our perspective, it was by chance. May not be entirely coincidental, though. For all we know that big glowing rock caused it. Kind of hard to test that hypothesis though. I guess you'll know for sure if it dumps more intruders on board?

I can see why you'd be skeptical, but in our position, it's kind of hard to prove a negative (we're not her on purpose, to do harm, for the rock, etc).

So your name is Yeli and you are some kind of doctor. Hopefully you weren't in the middle of something urgent when you got kidnapped.

So what now? Are you going to try and convince either the captain or head of security that the intruder might not be hostile before things escalate.
Or are you just going to go and hide in your room until things quiet down?

we think he came from a different place then the kind of humans you are used to. he had no idea what you were ether. the item this ship is carrying seems like a good candidate for the cause.

>>482639
I think he used to be. Maybe? He's not affiliated with the Solars if that's your concern.
He didn't even want to come here; the relic you captured pulled him off course.

Seriously, why do people always steal relics and bring them back home? Does it just not occur to people that can study them just fine where they are?
Or that it's PROBABLY a bad idea to take mysterious artifacts with unknown powers from DEAD WORLDS and bring them to LIVE WORLDS?
Honestly, people like you are the reason why we have things like Necromorphs, Zerg, Flood, Replicators, Shoggoths, and Geiger Xenomorphs infesting galaxies. Some common sense would make our lives so much easier.

My advice is putting the relic back before we find out what sort of horrible thing it does.
Failing that? Drive the ship into a star.

>>482809

Two words: shiny shiny.

Well Ms. Yeli, as you can tell, some of us have more of an odd sense of humor than others.
Seriously, we're a group of multiple AI's who've been set up to communicate with you. We don't really mean you any harm. Please try and take this as calmly as you can. That said, getting rid of us will be difficult at best.
Moving on, the one human...um, humanoid? To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure how he'd be classified...but he is not one of these "pinkskins" you're familiar with. He doesn't really mean you any harm either, as evidenced by the fact that he listened to my suggestion and hugged you.
...and I confess, I think you're an adorable little fuzzy thing. Whatever you are.
Finally, while I have no proof of the matter, I do not think that it's coincidence that he happened to pop up here after you took that rock aboard and removed it from where it had been. I suspect it interrupted his teleport, in fact.
Since we don't know a lot about things from your end of things, could you tell us a little? Who are you? What kind of non-classified information can you tell us about your people?

We were damaged in the teleport- we've got missing hunks of memory. Double checking the race of our boss hasn't exactly been a priority with trying to avoid getting killed by trigger happy security forces.

And we trust him... because we're his. He's got no good reason to lie to us.

>how can I trust him if you are not sure about his objective?
Well... let's go down points in his favor. He went out of his way not to hurt you. He left us behind to try and reason with you, rather than resorting to coercion by force, or taking hostages. He's been avoiding security instead of fighting back.

That's not proof, but it does suggest someone with good intentions, does it not?

Mad hacks. No offense to your electronic security protocols, but they aren't much match for a legion of AIs working in parallel.

We know you have some sort of horrible ancient artifact on this ship because one pulled him off course and onto the ship. From there it's pretty easy to guess it's cargo on your ship.

The black hole is a more apt comparison to the relic than you know; neither one should be dragged through shipping routes or brought home with you.

Well he was in armor, and clearly enhanced in reflexes, but he's about the size of a human and you can sort of see his face has no fur, so he's probably human.

We know about your cargo because one of your crewmembers was blogging about it.

We are the A.I. "Legion" one of many at your service. Part of us is a biodroid colony "Shard" which is currently making itself comfy in your brain allowing us to communicate. This is an entirely involuntary action.

We can be sure of the reason he is here, because his equipment was malfunctioning when he arrived, alerting us that he did not plan on arriving here. He could have staged that effect, though. You probably shouldn't trust him just yet. However his potential threat level is extremely high, so urge caution in any retaliatory action you take.

we know about the relic because we just know... not saying that to be avoid the question its just complicated and we are short on time at this moment.
Now i know this must be a shock to have an alien just show up on your ship, run into said alien, and now have voiceds in your head comeing from the very same alien but if you can help us get off this ship the sooner this will all go away and we can all go back to our normal lives
(Unless the relic does something else to mess with your trip)

AI: "Well... let's go down points in his favor. He went out of his way not to hurt you. He left us behind to try and reason with you, rather than resorting to coercion by force, or taking hostages. and He's been avoiding security instead of fighting back"

Yeli:"hmm, you may be right.... he didn't threaten me and even apologized... A thing my co-workers should learn to do... but you still have to explain me how did you know about the cargo?"

as she ask you that a medical bot enter the room

>anyways what should I do now?
...see what the medical bot wants. Hopefully it isn't here to cut you up because they realized you've been compromised by us and/or saw you talking to yourself like a crazy person.

>WHAT?!, doesn't anyone take confidential information seriously anymore?!
Well, to be fair, they probably didn't expect anyone to appear out of nowhere and start digging around in personal logs.

if the robot isn't going to do much Start looking into that artifact that seems to be the cause of all of this

if it asks, say you are just letting off steam due to stress.

Well that's just about the most terrifying medical personnel I've ever seen. You... might want to keep your distance. Wait, did you say vivisected? Fucking run!

Aheh heh...there's that one with the sense of humor, again. I would recommend you do not run. The robot should be told most of the truth, in that you were injected by "the intruder" with a paralytic drug that has since worn off. Report honestly to it any side effects that may have occurred. It may want to take a blood sample, but I doubt you're in any danger from that.
Dr. Yeli, do you recognize this type of medical robot? Do you think it could detect a nanoscale communication setup along your left auditory nerve?
...I think it's the left one, I don't have any data on that.
The reason I ask is because if it detects a sample of alien nanotechnology that close to your brain it might come to entirely the wrong conclusions. It might just want to cut out a microscopic piece of a nerve, which I'm sure it can do without harming you in any serious way. Call me paranoid, but I really don't know. So what would likely be it's reaction, doctor? Do you know?

Yeli: I'm not sure, but they equipped with scanners to analyze health anomalies, let's hope it doesn't want to use it . . .

as the bot enters the room it address Yeli

Robot: Bio Technician Yeli, Niantiel. I have been sent to verify your condition,
I've been informed you were found in a state of partial paralysis after having been injected with an unidentified toxin is this true?

Yeli gives her report omitting some choice details regarding an AI in her head.

Yeli:"O-OK..."

Yeli then speaks to the AI
Yeli: l-legion, w-what should I do now?

>what should I do now?
Hope we can beat that thing's scanners, and act normal and cooperative unless the robot tries something bad.

[put all yeli-modules into standby stealth mode. Set restart to be triggered on a 5-minute timer, or a sudden adrenaline spike in the host]

Tell the droid to either work really really fast or scan us later since you are in a hurry to do some important stuff you were in the middle of when you got paralyzed.
Yes very important urgent stuff, can't wait.

Calming down would help. We need to render the majority of our nanites inert as to not develop any suspicious bioelectrical signatures, possibly even dissolve into your bloodstream. The remainder will have to hide somewhere until this biopsy is over.

If it takes a blood sample, I suggest we hijack it.

just go with it. you would raise a lot more suspension if you refused the scan. we'll figure out something.

(Do we have a list of applications and abilities anywhere on what Legion can preform inside our host?)

First of all, doctor, for the sake of whatever deity you worship...if any...don't talk out loud where the robot can hear. It might mistake that for hallucinations or other symptoms. Try to relax. We are well away from the injection site. Left auditory nerve, remember?
...might be the right one, I don't have time to trace the nerve impulses. Kind of busy, here.
Specifically, I'm sending a signal to any nanites in the area to evacuate or self-destruct. Since the signals in question are sent by your own nerves, the robot won't have any way to distinguish them from your normal nerve impulses.

phew. that's okay. go ahead and just have some swelling reducer.

Well, of course, I'm a civilian and I was just forcibly drugged and assaulted! Anxiety is a perfectly normal response to this situation!

>anomaly
...really? I need further examination for inflammation? I'm a doctor- that's a pretty normal biological response to stabbings, and/or drugging!

I've recovered from the paralytic. Give me an anti-inflammatory if you have to, otherwise let me get back to work.

>hijack abilities limited
>nerves for eyes and ears
Oh hey, I guess that's how she hears us, we're tapped right into her auditory feed. Interesting that we're in the optic nerve too. I guess we could make her see things if we wanted? Or do a kind of augmented reality thing. Not thinking of any practical uses for that right now, though.

Eh, just go with it you'll only bring more unwanted attention to yourself if you don't

Hmm...inflammation isn't unusual, your body's just responding to the injection. ...and maybe something else. Call me paranoid, but isn't this ship supposed to be a sterile environment? Please flick your left ear a bit for yes, and the right one for no.

Crap boss they found our node in the Civilian you paralyzed. They are taking her to be dissected so they can analyze us. We need to go save her so they don't find out to much about our tech. Also would be horrible to accidentally get a nice civilian murdered.

No, Yeli! D=

Necro, we should help her. They're going to vivisect her to death just because we poked her. That's not right. Also, letting them analysis our tech would be bad. ...and if we save her, there's the plus of a friendly familiar with ship systems and stuff.

C'mon, rescue mode go!

uhhh boss, we have a slight problem here, that kid you planted us with is about to be dissected to find out what we did to her, so if we could get to the infirmary that would be swell. maybe try out your new hacking ability since I think only a robot is in there with her.

Their scanning technology must be a step above their computer technology. We were detected in approximately 2.71 seconds. Everyone in their society apparantly gets a full infometric medical evaluation every time they sustain injury, to make sure they are still "pure." Recommend being somewhere else with extreme prejudice. Such a paranoid civilization is extremely hazardous to both your and its health, and there is currently a 65.2% probability that their attitude will result in the ship collapsing into a singularity which then rams their home planet at nearlight speeds annihilating everything on it and leaving them a wrecked wandering people cast adrift in space those few who survive.

There is a 20.7% probability that this civilization has already done that at least once, to a planet populated by tiny deer.

If you hurry now, there is a high probability you may be able to save the civilian. This course of action is recommended

There may be other personnel with less than benevolent intentions in the infirmary though, so a cautious and stealthy approach is advised.

Hurm. Dissecting a fellow crew member seems like kind of a dick move. If there is a way to bring her with you perhaps she can prove valuable as a defector? If she is willing anyway, though she probably will WANT to haul ass after you save her.

>>512946
IF you save her.

It'd be a horrible blunder to have Legion extracted at the cost of Yeli's life.

Room 8 in the medical bay of the craft. Can you find the shortest route there and extract her from her dissection before everything goes south?

>>513006
Also, could the nanite collective infect the medbot and overtake it if we don't get there in time?

Assuming Yeli only suffers a few minor incisions beforehand...

THIS IS OF COURSE ONLY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO PLANNED HERE.

>>513008
Huh. Trying to attack or suborn to the medbot to buy her time isn't a bad idea. Although, ideally we'd prefer to do something before she knives stuck between her vertebrae, retinas, ocular nerves, or aural nerves. Which is kind of what would have to happen before our bots got access.

If there was a way for us to infect the ship's systems, we could be able to buy time by cutting of routes, locking down systems, or other such distractions.

It's not like I'm terrible at stealth or anything, I just prefer straight up combat
fortunately my current arsenal of knife and sword are plenty stealthy
tough if I don't mind making a little noise, or need a distraction I had the time to make 3 white phosphorus grenades
this should cause enough chaos and- shit I've just been spotted.

rush it and slash it in half with your sword before it can call for help and if it does rush into the infirmary and grab the little skunk thing and set up a white phosphorus grenade trap buy tying some string to the pin or whatever activates it and have it go off when someone enters the room, that should provide a good distraction as you leave the place.

Jump and Rider Kick that robots head against the wall, then drop a smoke grenade in the intersection to cause some chaos.

Is that a bot or an organic? I can't tell from our visual sensors alone. [Scan target?]

If it's a bot, there's nothing wrong with killing it, or it would probably be easy to get inside its guard and hack it to death.

If it's an organic, I'd prefer a non-lethal takedown. Kind of hurts our position with Yeli if you cut down her comrades (even if they turned on her). Obviously can't use the injection again, since we don't want another infected person.

It's a bot, and it's never a good idea to kill when you don't have to, even if it is a bot. However because it's a bot that means you can separate the head from the body to neutralize it nonlethally, where that would kill an organic. Most organics.

What I'm saying is kick his head off.

remove limbs continue to infirmary.

Synthetic appears to be a low class security bot. Minimum threat, dispatch and continue. Time is of the essence.

don't know, anywhere that you think we should head off to? I suggest we try to find a port that would let us connect directly to the ship and try that hack the thing but we don't have the power... think we could use the ship's own power to power ourselves up enough to hack it? If so lets head towards the ship's engine or wherever it's power core would be found.

if there is one big enough an air duct would be good. power core could be useful. maybe grab that robot's head so we can pick it's brain.

Huh. Well you've got a bargaining chip at least. She seems nice anyway. What was the goo?

We already slagged the room and ran off? Dang, I was gonna suggest grabbing a reverser for the sedative off the bot. It has to have drugs for waking up patients under sedation they aren't vivisecting.

She's also without clothes or equipment, which may be annoying later. Hopefully there's extras, somewhere.

Welllll...they were kinda going to kill her off just to see what we'd infected her with....

...Maybe they'll have to be more diplomatic if it's a public thing? Like, kill her off if nobody knows, but act like individual citizens are important when everybody knows about it? ...I'm not sure I'd count on it, though....

>>516174

Yes, they were. And she can attest to that. She being more sympathetic than a giant metal man. You'd be surprised how even in the most terrible societies there are many who sympathize with the idea of being vivisected by a robot who had a hunch.

If it were a normal medical practice she would have done so willingly instead of being tricked. So suffice to say she can at least make the stranners do what they do best: feel guilty.

Recommended course of action is to find a place to regroup.
OPTIONAL: Find the ship's communication systems.
OPTIONAL: Infect a nearby console with a nanotech colony.

let's head towards female quarters. she needs clothes.

Wait for her to wake up before you move anywhere, she might have some insight on where to go and how to avoid detection.

Yeli wakes up,she screams and jumps back, hitting the wall.

Yeli: w-what happened?
Neco: the medic bot,uhh-
Yeli: where we are? w-what are you going to do to me?

WE are not going to do anything to you. we were on our way to the female barracks so you could get some new clothes. the medic bot tossed your old ones. they were going to kill you to rip us out.

Nothing. We were forced to intervene to prevent your vivissection and subsequent death at the hands of your medical robot. Regrettably, the nanites did not escape detection.

They were going to dissect you while you were unconcious.
We came just in time to save you.

They KNEW it would have killed you, yet were going to do so anyway.
The thought metaphorically sickens me.

>>552323
...which would have been EXCEEDINGLY foolish on their part, as studying us in vivio would have been orders of magnitude more productive and effective.

Regardless, you're healthier now than you've ever been.

Hopefully the bot didn't update the ships record to reflect your status. Otherwise we'll have to go in and alter records for you to have a clean bill of health and continue to remain in good standing with your people. We apologize for the inconvenience - we had no idea your people were so callous about individual lives, nor so brutal in their methods of research.

The medibot stripped you, so we're making a detour to fetch you some clothes. Which room is yours, and is there anything else you require from it?

First of all, Doctor, please try to calm down. We're not safe yet, and lot of yelling might give away our position. Secondly, I have to extend my apologies. I underestimated your people's ability to detect nanoscale structures, and you're paying the price. I'm very sorry. As you're now in violation of the purity laws, they seemed to feel justified in killing you to get that nanotech. We regard that as evidence that your people really don't possess the cultural maturity to handle it well.
If you're familiar with the "gray goo scenario", "red goo apocalypse", and similar scenarios, then you'll probably agree this is too powerful a tool to leave to those who aren't prepared for it.
Since it was us who got you into trouble, the boss and us have gotten you out, at least for the moment. Like my buddy over there said, We're on our way to get you some clothes and basic supplies in order to help you start your new life as "impure", whatever that may be. As a matter of damage control, can you tell me if someone who's no longer "pure Astranian" can regain their purity? It seems like it wouldn't be difficult for us to pack up everything we've installed in your body and leave, if that would do it.
Thirdly, how do your eyes feel?

SKUNK NOISES

>>554292
Can we send a retraction? Maybe a notice that the bot's instruments were malfunctioning and it has been taken out of service pending repair?
Do the systems have a standard form for that kind of report?

>>554294
You could always wrap yourself in a sheet, but the barracks might be best.

yes, so... to the barracks then? or do you want to just stay like that?

We did. We took action to prevent our mistake from being fatal or permanently damaging for you.

...she's more upset at being naked that betrayed by her own kind and nearly vivisected. Geeze.

There there. You're in front of a bunch of AI's and a cybernetically augmented alien. None of us share your culture's particular taboos, and we don't have any biological reason to care about your nudity either. Calm down.

Alright, now, the best thing you can do here is remain calm and take into consideration the predicament you've found yourself in.

Lets work under the assumption that you're now recognized as a threat, or some kind of foreign entity by the ship's AI, or at least by the various automatons aboard, given that the medbot did.
And if the medbot had the capabilities of transmitting, then I've no doubt he transmitted your current "impure" state, possibly as a safety protocol.

So, lets try to find a friend to help sort out this misunderstanding, and of course steer clear of any bots.

[/.sarcasm] Also, your display of lewdness is an affront so our collective. You should be ashamed.

>>554746
No. The ship's records have been altered, but a message about her being compromised was sent out before we could intervene. Unless somebody was reading the com traffic when it was sent nobody on the ship will consider her suspect.

The problem is that since command knows she's suspect she's going to face trouble once the ship hits port.
Unfortunately, that's at the LATEST. Command is very likely to message the ship about her status, and it's doubtful we'll be able to tamper with that communication without raising suspicions.

We DO have a few options, but they're not fun; Mana, could you start confusing ship systems? Sabotaging the robots so they start misidentifying everything; stranners as robots, robots as humans, doors as inexplicable vertical sheets of water, etc? Then have the ship's sensors start seeing impossible things, such as nearby star systems being located in the mess hall, and well-known planets like Vin-Malor chasing after the ship?
If they start getting system-wide errors then all anomaly reports become suspect.

Man.A, I'd like to thank you for hacking the files and rendering the good doctor no longer in violation of these "Purity Laws". This makes the job much simpler.
Dr. Yeli, I'm not sure what kind of cover story your people would accept about the robot finding "something", but if a suggestion of a minor infection at the injection point would help, by all means consider it. With that out of the way, Doctor, please calm down. While it's true that you are nude, try to recall that none of the beings here regard you as an object of desire. Personally, I maintain my earlier opinion about you being a cute, cuddly-looking sort of person. I would rather see you in some pretty little dress with ribbons in your hair, but a uniform will have to do. Is there a place nearby where a temporary covering can be obtained, so that you don't have to try to sneak into the barracks nude?
Also to consider, you really should avoid any other robots or sensory devices which have the sensitivity to detect the nanotech within you. Is it possible to obtain some of those sensors so that we can create a masking field to protect you?

>>563348
So have the scans give obviously bad readings. Detect people as robots or coffee cups or bits of string at random.
After that happens for a little while, have all attempts to scan just return error messages.

If the active scans are obviously wrong and then stop working outright it puts the active scan of her into question without anybody else being suspect.

Now, lets go get her some clothing.

actually sounds like a good plan

teleporting behind someone who is screaming because something is behind them is usually a bad idea.

I can still turn around in this tunnel or teleport myself a meter away facing her direction.

I also have recovered enough to retrive one of two long range weapons:

One is a small handgun that shoots stun darts.
The other is a sniper rifle, really powerful but loud.

spin around and get the stunner. robots can be meleed.

...it would help if we acquired a target before we picked something to shoot it with. Or if we were even sure there's something behind her to shoot.

A really loud rifle strikes me as a hazard, in a small, enclosed metal space. Especially for Yeli, with those big ears. Ignoring the risk of whatever may be behind her, or of trying to shoot past her without hitting her, there's a risk of serious aural damage.

A non-astrian drone? Maybe we're not the only intruder!

Can we tell the direction or strength of the signal? If we overlay with the ship schematics, maybe we can estimate where they are.

It's also possible we could use the drone a means to attempt communication with whoever is controlling it.

>>599863
Man.A, You have the frequency and encoding of the signal, right? So you can listen to what it's saying?
Can you tell the species is responsible for it? Or at least what they identify themselves as?
Are they Human? With the Solar Directorate/Militia or otherwise?
If so, identify yourself as an agent for any of the spec-ops groups from Earth's space colonization phase, and demand they stop interfering with your infiltration.

If they're not human, then transmit this back at it: "Bah wah neep widdi bong"

>A-a what?
That was reference to pre-interplanetary pinkskin popular culture. The 'terminator' was a fictional monster from cinematic entertainment of the era. A robotic assassin encased in a shell of living tissue for purposes of infiltration and facilitation of time travel.
