Max's eyes widened as he turned to look at Jack, confused and surprised.

:MaxSurprised: "For what?"

:JackNeutral: "For telling me this, you could've easily taken advantage of my memory loss and started anew, but you instead told me things you were feeling, concerns you had, even issues you felt like you had with yourself."

Max simply stood there, eyes wide at Jacks words, listening to him.

:JackNeutral: "It takes a lot of effort to admit to stuff like that. I don't feel any ill-will towards you. And hey, if you'd like, maybe we can go and hang out sometime when you're free? Catch up, meet each other again?"

It took a moment, but Max finally replies,

:MaxNeutral: "Yeah, that sounds good. I work late tonight, but if you're free at 10, we can do it today"

:JackSmile: "I'll be sure to let you know"

Max shoots Jack a message quickly to re-add his connection to his system, Jack can now contact Max!

"I, uh, just got a message from someone named Max. Was that you?"

Keep in mind that he hasn't told us his name yet, so we shouldn't let on that we know. Does your messaging software include the sender's name? Did he mention it in the message anywhere? If not, then now's a good time to ask him about it.

Once you've said your goodbyes (and he's hopefully gotten a look at your hips on the way out), we'll be alone with Hax again. Now we finally have a chance to get on with what we're really here for: reading at the hospital library! We can learn all sorts of neat technical stuff about how our brains work.

(Yeah, I know I'm being a tease, Hax. Don't worry, we'll let you off your leash eventually. It's frustrating now, but the more pent up you get, the more fun it'll be when you can finally let loose.)

>"OH! Silly me, I don't think you told me your name yet. You already know me, but I'd like to know your name again."

As the elevator stops and the doors open, you quickly turn to Max.

:JackNeutral: "Oh right, before I go, what's your name again? Not in my system anymore."

:MaxNeutral: "Max 9, but just call me Max. I'll see you in 8."

:JackSmile: "For sure, maybe meet me in the spare room Ahn lent to me?"

He nods, smiling as the doors begin to close.

Neat, books!
And a cute bee-bot in tight shorts!
And a huge bot on the walkway above us! Seriously, those boots look about as tall as we are.

Hax, can you passively scan the senses of the people around here and see if we've caught anyone's attention? Or interest, even?

Okay, let's not get distracted. We're here to research the "virus flush" treatment we got, to find out how it works and if memory loss is a well-known risk. My cautious side is reminding me that this whole facility is owned and operated by AHN, so we may want to confirm anything we learn using outside sources. Also, think about your search patterns in case they're being monitored by someone; it's safe to look up things about our lost identity or the procedure you went through, but don't make it seem like we distrust Ahn or have an illegal hacking chip.

There's also the escaped criminal hacker that's been spotted near here. See if you can find more news about that, and maybe look up what kinds of things hackers are known for and what kind of precautions the public can take. Can Hax scan the minds around us for potential signs of tampering?

I'm also wondering about "theta", whatever that is. There was a poster for him/her/it in the room where you woke up.

What sort of qualifications do you need to be a therapist? If you want to resume your work, you'll need to make sure you've still got the right skills. Is there some sort of refresher class you could take?

We had considered developing your flirtation skills with her on the way to the library, before we met your old friend in the elevator and got sidetracked catching up. The cute bee girl is another opportunity to do that.

I say we skip it and go straight to booklearning. Normally I'd be all for it, but Hax threatened us, and I'm not going to let her think she can endanger your control over your own mind and get away with it. If she doesn't like what you decide to do, she can get back in her box while we handle important things.

It wouldn't hurt to do some flirting before research. What books is she looking at? Could give us a conversation opening.
>>
No. 1087791 ID: 940726

I stand by what I said.

It's true, we could practice flirting and do research at the same time. But our relationship with Hax is at a point where it's important to establish limits.

We won't be doing anything lewd unless she's at least willing to apologize and promise not to mess with Jack's mind without his permission. If she won't do that, then just ignore the attractive stranger and focus on learning.
>>
No. 1087793 ID: 1b53c2

>>1087791
Agreed here.

Ignoring her now would let us know whether or not she would be willing to follow through on her threat. If she isn't, then we've set a boundary. If she is, then- Well, we a first-hand look at how the hacks 'feel' which... Could range from fun to catastrophic, depending on what she does, and how much we can fight back against it (out of pure spite, if nothing else).

That said, unless she's got a restriction against messing with us in there, we're probably going to be in for the more interesting option.

Jack sighs, outnumbered in the decision.

:JackAnnoyed: "Fine, I'll go talk to a woman, happy?"

:HaxSmile: "Getting there"

Walking over, Jack pretends to simply browse, looking at some books in the nonfiction section.

:JackNeutral: "You look like you know your way around here, where would the best place be to do some research on a person? And just... Info on current topics and such."

The bot turns to you, staring blankly for a moment, blinking a few times, does she... know you?

I still say you're making a mistake. Hax will think she can just push you around whenever she wants if you let her.

You don't have to do this if you don't want to. We're your advisors, not your bosses. We're here to help. It wouldn't be much fun anyway if you're not in the mood.

Well, we got a decent tip from Bea, so my recommendation is look for where they keep the history books. I'd like to learn what happened in the past (100x + 77) years, and if the hardcopy books are only one year or so out of date, they'll have enough nifty info to keep our interest for quite a while. If we're lucky, you might even be famous enough to make it into the history books.

Well the more likely thing is that she's just not used to being talked to outta nowhere. Like she was thinking "...Oh he's talking to myself? ...Oh he asked this?" Shyness (on a girl) has charms too, eh HAX~? Seriously though, where's the passive read? Give that girl a compliment though. Even if you have pure intentions a friend would be nice to have.

I, for one, believe refusing to talk to women on the basis of Hax wanting to is silly. Let's see if we can find out if this woman knows us. It seems the fact that we're an amnesiac has already spread by our previous conversation.

>>1089732
I've got a question for Jack. Why are you doing this when you clearly don't want to? Before, you had always made decisions based on what you thought was the best idea, even if only one or two of us mentioned it, or you came up with it on your own without our input. It was never a matter of you just doing what you think people want; our role is to advise you, not control you. What's making you act differently now?

I'm honestly concerned about this. Your behavioral patterns were consistent before they suddenly changed, right when you started to disagree with Hax. Is she already messing with your mind? Can she even do that?

>>1089739
I'm saying we should refuse to do something Jack doesn't want to do, and should go with what he was planning instead, because Hax threatened his life.

This is not something we can just laugh off. This is a big deal. Hax is threatening Jack's life, and that makes her an enemy. This isn't about whether we get to meet a cute girl or not, it's about whether our host can keep control of his own mind.

>>1089743
This isn't something we can put off for later, either. What's happening here and now is, by far, the most important time to show resistance. If we give in to Hax's death threats now and talk about it later, she'll feel smug about how she got what she wanted and come up with some dismissive excuse to justify herself. Then the next time she wants to force Jack to do something, she'll do it again without a second thought, because it worked the first time.

That's why it's so important to tell Hax "no". We can always have a nice conversation with with Bea or another cute girl later. Hax wants Jack to be afraid of her now, so it's time for her to put up or shut up.

No. 1090629 ID: 861ceb

she knows you, she almost called you by name for a moment, she also looks nervous but her love stat is really high so I don't think she's someone out to get you.

um... only things I can think of why she is lying to you is either she
A) is just kinda bad at small talk/social situations
B) she's trying to figure out a way to ask you out on a date (with a love stat that high she defiantly has some kind of feelings for you)
or
C) she isn't looking for a book but something else that she doesn't want people to know about... I mean if her lust was higher I'd say maybe she's looking for some kind of smut novel but given where she was looking before you started talking to her she was either eyeing the NEHM book or the one left of it.

hey Hax can you keep an eye on her while jack does his thing so it isn't obvious we're watching her?

Also might as well let her tag along while we're here. those stats make me doubt she means you any ill will but she's definitely hiding something from you so keeping her around might help you figure out what she's not telling you.
... or if you have no patience you could just have HAX have her powers go from passive to active and nudge Bea to accidentally letting the truth slip out when you think she's hiding something again.

That girl definitely likes us. With our old friend and patient, while his affection was high, he only had 5/100 love. This girl probably knows us. If it was just her going "Awooga" at us, she'd have higher lust...but its love. This girl is definitely someone we met before.

I get the feeling she may have had a crush on you before. If she knew you personally she would be more open I imagine. Hopefully not the yandere stalker kind of crush, it sounds like she may have been here to look at you more than the books.

Don't sat anything about it for now. If we find anyone else we know later, we can ask them about her.

No. 1090637 ID: ef7b31

Huh. Quite possible that she wished to have a close relationship with you. What would have stopped this? 1) Preexisting relationship 2) She was with you but you broke up due to issues you had with her so she was alone 3) She was a fangirl but you were a celebrity so out of reach 4) She's strelok stalker-ish. Lot of possibilities. Lots of reasons to lie. Still, she seems fine with a clean slate. Pressing her would be unnecessary for now.

That is barely a response. Is it "sorry for teasing you about your masculinity"? Or "sorry for threatening your life when I got bored with you"? Or "sorry for messing with your mind without asking permission or telling you"?

Let's make this perfectly clear, so there's no confusion in the future. Are you, or are you not, willing or able to murder Jack or forcibly alter his mind if he tries to do something you don't like? Tell us what you can do, and tell us what you're actually threatening to do.

I don't think HAX is trying to be wicked or evil, moreso she's just excited to be with someone, frankly. It's fine, for me, apology accepted unless you do something out of pocket again.

Oh my goodness, a fresh reality to screw with. Been a while. <cracks knuckles>

Seems like we got a cute bot that's quite fond of you. That aught to be worth utilizing. And it would be downright cruel to shun both of these adorable digital feminine archtypes. We gotta test those powers. We cant be out here flying blind. See if you can't make her do something bold. Make her ask you out to that Mr. Carter Emporium, and check out the area. It'll be good to have a local without their brains fried to show us around. And really, its a nice start to work with someone that's already fond of us, rather than get into.... well, what HAX is likely used to doing.

Also adorable [redacted] you have here. The inhabitants are adorable. <3

>hey Hax can you keep an eye on her while jack does his thing so it isn't obvious we're watching her?

:HaxDevious: "Well I can only see what Jack sees, but... Maybe I can take a little peek through her own eyes~"

Hax grins, her eyes glazing over slightly before she disappears.

>She should come with us! We could use a partner to get busy with in the bookshelves.

:JackNeutral: 'The AHN Index is where we'll look first, I wanna know more about where I live and work and all that...'

:JackSmile: "Sure, could use the company. And, of course, someone who knows how to navigate the site haha"

:BeaSmile: "O-Okay! here, lets head over to one of the pcs"

Bea takes the lead, swiftly moving over to one of the pcs and pulling up a second chair, letting Jack take a seat as they begin to navigate the site...

There's a lot of information, some obvious and plain, but some going into detail on his life... A little concerning this info is just available to everyone.

Scrolling past the summaries at the top, detailed information about his work and experience shows up, along with an apology from the AHN index on their mistake causing his amnesia...

:JackSurprised: "Oh damn... 30 years of experience in therapy, huh? All gone just like that?"

:BeaSmile: "You were a great therapist i-it seems, it sucks that it's all gone but... Doesn't mean you can't start anew? Maybe you can choose something else, go your own way, y'know?"

Jack and Bea continue scrolling, Hax watching through Bea's eyes as Bea flicks back and fourth between fidgeting with her hands and looking at Jack...

:BeaNervousSmile: "Hey, uhm... Wanna maybe go to lunch sometime? I could even help guide you around the outside, show you where things are and all that, y'know? You're uhm... Pretty cute.."

Do not date someone who's pretending not to know you. That is a red flag; a sign of a previous failed relationship. Feel free to call her out on it; your bio says you can read people like a book so you have an excuse!

Tell her maybe later, you're just trying to get back on your feet and don't want to complicate things.

My guess is she knew another Jack model. Even if she didn't know us specifically, she's clearly attached to our line somehow. She needs to understand that we're an entirely different person and likely won't meet any expectations she has. If she insists, we wouldn't be opposed to getting to know her.
>>
No. 1092721 ID: 8f9bc4

Yeah, she seems nice! Probably the sweetest person you've met so far. And she's not proposing marriage or anything; it's just lunch. You can get her trust by showing up, then you can say it seems like something is troubling her, and you won't hold it against her if it's about something you've forgotten. Or something like that.

>Hax
Nothing to say? Just going back to acting like nothing happened?

I can tell that you're trying to be more sympathetic to Jack right now, but we still need to talk about what you said before. There are questions that warrant answers. If you don't want to talk about it now, we will have to talk about it later.

>Jack
Just to be sure, Hax has been in Passive mode this whole time, right?

It's odd that your model only has nine members. Aren't robots usually made in sets of ten? It wasn't resource limits, or they would have made even fewer, instead of giving you "substitute" parts. Seems suspicious to me. Call me paranoid, but I'm worried that something happened to Jack 10.

It's a shame that you lost all those memories. But your memories aren't all gone, right? Some of them are only missing names and faces. Do you recall anything like a therapy session you had with someone? May be worth pondering why some memories are completely gone, and others are only incomplete.

>Bea
Might as well accept her offer, if you're genuinely interested for your own sake and not just doing it because you feel outnumbered. I like her, but I don't want you to feel like you're being forced into anything.

I noticed she tends to stutter when she lies. It's looking more and more likely that she's a former client of yours that developed a crush on you during your sessions. Let's not press the issue just yet, so she'll have a chance to confess on her own during your date.

:JackSmile: "You're pretty cute yourself..! Lunch would be pretty nice, I'd love to relearn the area, though truth be told I do have some memories left in here, just not faces... How about next week?"

:BeaSmile: "It's a date!"

Bea beams with excitement, giddy at the thought. Hax quietly mumbles in the depth of your mind.

>What did the other Jacks do? It's publicly available information, after all. Weird how there's single digits of your name...

:JackNeutral: 'Definitely info I'd like to know, too. But not in front of her... I could maybe check out the other Jacks in the meantime'

:HaxAnnoyed: "..."

Scrolling through the list of Jack models, each one looks slightly different, mirroring the environment they come from... Some look sleek and well-built, others look more steampunk and rundown, but they all have one thing in common... Therapy.

Each Jack was said to be kind and gentle, people smart and emotionally intelligent. While they were all very much different people, they all seemed to love keeping the ones around them up and happy, using different methods to fit with their locations.

Surprisingly, they were all alive. Surprising due to the fact they've all decided to stay in their own sectors, including the ones overrun by crime.

In the footnotes of the documents, there seems to be an overall rundown on the model line...

"...Overall, the Jack model line is a highly safe, trustworthy and, although sometimes rough around the edges, quite a good friend to have."

Hax seems upset. Something on your mind? Come on, you can talk to us.

So there are nine Jacks for nine sectors. I don't think that's normal for robot production lines. The sectors are largely independent, so who would decide that each of them should get their own custom-made therapist? Were you all built to the same specifications in your "home" sectors, or were you made in the same place and then sent on your way?

There's another thing that's got me curious. Your own file says you had an uncanny ability to read people, ostensibly from years of experience as a therapist. Do the other Jacks have anything like that in their profiles? I've got a vague suspicion that you might actually have been using some kind of hacking device to read people's minds even before the amnesia.

Who wrote that footnote? It seems oddly personal for an official public document.

huh, Hex never really seemed to be to upset about the people we've talked to so far, what make's Bea different?

Also if she walked away maybe look her up online as well, maybe she has a social media page or something for you to learn a bit more about her before seeing her tomorrow. and hopefully let hex find out more about her to hopefully help ease any worries she might have.

Flattering, but that comment was made about a different you.
If you're out of commission, who's doing your job for this sector? Maybe you should schedule a session with them.
And speaking of substitutes, why were you sensitive about having replacement parts? Are they worse than what you'd otherwise have? Hax, can we get a system diagnostic?

Hmhmm..well, this seems a bit too easy for me. We seem like a normal Jack at first glance..but something clearly happened. Like how our new friend obviously knows us, likes us,but did not choose to disclose why like our former patient. I dont think it's malicious...but there's things unsaid.

AHN is hecking cute, as always, though this is a bit of a mood change. Fish for information, gently and flirtly, and get HAX to bring up AHN's stats and check for anything suspicious, like a spike in energy or odd mood. Remember, there is the hacker C45I3 (CASEY) about, and considering AHN knows you have the chip, that might be why they're so important, and you to them.

Better a bit paranoid than hacked. Try for some handholding though.

So you find it upsetting when you think your host sees you as a burden instead of a companion? I can sympathize with that. It must be hard to be treated like there's something "wrong" with you just because the law doesn't like you.

Well, I find it upsetting when people directly threaten my host's life and sanity to force them to do things. Which is still a thing that happened, and hasn't unhappened. I do not like being so insistent about this, but ignoring it is simply not an option. The host's well-being is our primary priority.

So if you can promise not to do anything to Jack that he doesn't want, I'll look for ways that you can be more involved. Does that sound reasonable?

>AHN7
Well, she certainly seems to be in a better mood. It's nice to see her smile. How are her stats looking?

Sure, we can go meet with someone. We've already got a few meetings lined up, but they aren't for a while. It won't be a problem as long as it doesn't take too long. Don't press her for info just yet; I suspect she might have been purposefully vague in public.

By the way, ever since we found out about our "psychiatric skills" as a therapist, I've been wondering just how well we could do at getting inside AHN7's head. Would she be interested in a "private session" to let us give it a try? I'm actually talking about hacking, but only AHN knows about that and someone might overhear.

>>1097052
>>1097167
We've actually got answers to some of those questions already. The ten AHN units are the progenitor robots who founded our civilization on this planet. Each of them is the creator and ruler of one of the sectors. They were sent here by aliens from another world. As for why we've got love and lust and so on... I dunno, maybe they're horny aliens who sent a bunch of sexbots to make a space harem or something. I'd like to meet them someday.

Ah, the old turn the lust meter up to max so they need some alone time trick. Wait you don't know that trick at all, since you got this hacked chip like an hour ago. This is a completely new trick!

>>1097020

ANYWAY oh hi AHN thank Primus for a distraction!

You'd love to meet someone else, especially if it's important to AHN. The more people you can get reacquainted with, the less you'll make catastrophic mistakes in ignorance that might ruin your relationship with them forever.

...they're your girlfriend, aren't they.
