Well, technically you're legally dead. Which means you couldn't buy a legal license anyways. And is it really illegal for dead people to own?

Man, those are sneaky subtle little things. Adjusting vocabulary patterns, and cross checking your lies for you.

Both are potentially useful, but with all this sneaking around stuff, I'm pretty sure your life is going to depend on lying to someone at some point. Get Chameleon.

I'm going to have to say chameleon, simply because we can help you with talking to others onboard the ship, but if we do stop somewhere and come across people we don't know I'd like a bit of a boast when it comes to making sure they believe what we told them to believe.

What is this?

I say go with social chameleon. You'll learn more from it. Is it truly feigning expertise about something if you get told information about that something while doing so? The social butterfly thing is unhealthy anyway- wouldn't you rather act like the real you?

We need to know what he's thinking, and we need to know what he's capable, if it comes to it.

For the moment, don't give voice to your suspicions. We need to assess the situation, see if there's a way to talk your way out of this, or plan something else. Be cautious.

Possible option to put pressure on him: make a play of sympathy. Cross your arms, shiver, and tell him it's kind of cold to stay down here. I mean, Aichi's not bothered, and maybe he's big enough, but you're not really dressed for the cold.

agree to let him watch you but try to get out of this room, ask for him to at least watch you somewhere else since you're kinda freezing in here. Once we see a chance try to slip away from him.

>>617202
If the two of you wander off in different he can't watch both of you at the same time, at which point you can escape.

Like, hide and seek?

So his left arm is super strong, but not very fast or nimble. If you were to try to dart around or evade him, that's probably the side to go for. (Unless he's willing to kill you).

And he's got a hardened military com. I wouldn't be surprised if that means he doesn't need net access to talk to his allies- since the military is often deployed where there isn't necessarily preexisting friendly infrastructure to work with.

>what do
They made a big mistake. They locked a hacker in the engine room. You can, effectively, take the ship hostage. Or at least threaten to.

Talk with Aichi. Private com channel if you can, in person, pretending to comply if you can't. Send her to the far side of the room to mess with the engines. Idea being, we can ransom the safety of the ship for your father's safety. (And he has the coms to call that ransom in). I don't know if this a bluff or actually within Aichi's capabilities, but neither do they.

You have to stand away from her, out of Mooray's reach. He can't move to stop Aichi without letting you flee the room. And if he tries to capture you as a hostage to force Aichi to comply, you can run. And he can't chase one of you without the other getting to the door.

>He's got a hardened military com. I wouldn't be surprised if that means he doesn't need net access to talk to his allies.
Probably the only good news about this situation right now is that he’d still only be able to contact people on a limited, slower-than-FTL frequency, since Murray's access ID to the milsats got decommissioned just like Dad’s and all the other public security guys.

>Give him the slip
I’ve gotta try something… I think you guys gave me an idea that could work...

“Fine, then. We’ll find something to do down here. Like hide and seek.”

“...huh?”

“Or maybe a fun game of ‘hide and try to find Aichi before she hacks the frag out of this ship’s engine because you wouldn’t let us upstairs.’”

“....Oooooh! Tehehehe…”

“...What are you talking about?”

“Only saying that you did a great job trying to trap the Galaktai family’s little tech expert inside an engine room, where she can cause you all sorts of trouble.”

“Come on, kid. Don’t try pulling that on me.” (//Come on- “She’s bluffing…” // Pulling That - “...Right?” //)

“Hey, Aichi. Didn’t you take a course on engine subsystems last year for school?”

“Funny thing you mention that, actually. Hey Mooray, did you know that on most starships, defenses against hostile attempts to command the ship are mostly focused on attempts to hack it from the outside? They taught you that in the academy, right?

“Even if you could pull that off, you wouldn’t risk it!”

“Whoa, power down Mooray - we’re only messing with you.”

“Wha…?”

“Anyway, I’ll hide first. See you in a little bit, Mooray~! Bang Bang!”

I can’t believe that worked! I don’t think he wants to hurt either of us, but what if I had spooked him when I started running by and he like, accidentally backhanded me with that big metal hand? He could’ve taken my head right off!

>he's limited to a slower than ftl frequency
Shouldn't matter if his on-board collaborators have similar coms. Can't really do anything about that, though.

>but what if I had spooked him when I started running by and he like, accidentally backhanded me with that big metal hand? He could’ve taken my head right off!
Well. Um. Then you'd be dead. Sorry, that was kind of a calculated risk. Was kind of counting on his reticence to harm the two of you to make him hesitate, and his military background to have given him decent trigger control with the arm.

>I gotta get to the observation deck right now!… I gotta make sure Dad’s okay…!
Presumably, he's going to be with Sergeant Wriffost, who is likely going to be backed up by Jamy. If a trained soldier or a bodyguard wanted to hurt him, you're not really in a position to stop them, unless you can talk them down (would help if that new program got online). Or unless you provide a distraction for your father or someone else to act.

I don't know if Mooray was ordered to keep the two of your out of the way to limit the chance of complications or your being injured, or as hostages to pressure your father, or because they couldn't allow their actions to be witnessed.

Some of those possibilities might mean they restrain themselves if you enter, but not necessarily.

>Run, Novi! Go get help!
Is there anyone who would be in a position to help against a mutiny, that you can trust, and get to? Who's loyal to your father or your family, rather than their own causes?

Small bonus: since Mooray took off chasing you, that means Aichi is free to leave the engine room and try to help in some way too.

...showing up and being unable to interfere and delaying to get help are both risks. Unfortunately, we don't know where anyone who could help you is, and there's the chance they're being isolated by collaborators the way they tried to isolate you and Aichi. Depends on how big this mutiny is.

Too many unknowns. Get to your Dad. We can try to stall, distract, or force a compromise, if we can.

yeah you should probably head towards your dad, but try and take a detoured path, I mean I know time is of the essence but they're still that clone guy to watch out for and if Moorya does have a way to contact others on the ship he might not be able to catch up to you but he can call ahead of you and set up something to slow you down.

Wait. Wait.

You can't save him. Go to an escape pod, preserve the data.

Find Taylee, use the ship's systems to record the observation deck or wherever your father currently is!

Captain Galaktai, with all due respect, I did everything in my power to avoid it coming to this. It was your refusal to compromise on this insane scheme that forced my hand. I tried to be reasonable. Do you think I wanted to follow you across the galaxy on some gung ho suicide mission? I fled from a doomed satellite onto your federation cruiser because it was my only chance for survival. When the explosion killed your engine and fried the ship’s comm transmitters, I tolerated a week adrift in space, listening to you concoct plans, desperately trying to contact my government, because I had no other choice. When we made the jump to this ‘heroically’ commandeered civilian vessel and found out we’d all been declared dead, I spent three weeks inching towards mars because it was necessary. But we’re a day’s travel away from my home planet now - where I can get us an escort, protection, and backup - and you still refuse to let us leave your ship. Now it’s clear we’re all hostages in your scheme.”

“You idiot! You’d be flagged down in low orbit with no federation ID.”

“Do you have no faith in my government’s ability to protect us? This isn’t about safety, Galaktai. Admit it - this is about glory. You don’t want me turning to Modernia for help because that would rob you of the chance to be some interstellar savior.”

“You know that’s not true! I would never risk my daughters’ lives for--”

>We can try to stall, distract.
“Sir, I got a message from Mooray. He says he lost Novibelle. ”

“Damn it! Keep an eye on that door over there, Jamy, but don’t take your sight off of Hiro. Knowing her, she should come running right to us. Be ready for her, she shouldn’t make a move so long as you make it clear her father’s life hangs in the balance.”

>>617440
Ouch. Poor Jammy. I hope those weapons have stun settings.

>Gogo, I-I… I think we did it!
Yes, you upset the balance.

However, you are now in the middle of a firefight, and run the risk of being shot (on purpose or by accident) and they're trying to take you hostage to use against your family. You need to move away from the mutineers while not getting shot or grabbed. Quickly.

Don't try to help disable or disarm any of the mutineers, even if you see an opportunity. It could turn the entire outcome of the fight if they get a hand on you.

Novi, your father's lost it. He's murdering rational people who want to make the galaxy a better place.

It's not from greed, or pride, or even hatred. It's from a whole straight month of constant paranoia, combined with a high-stress obsession with saving the galaxy from Kline. He's more worn down than his implant, and it shows.

You cannot let him succeed; his current state of mind may cause him to perform acts that will ensure ruin across the galaxy, even if he stops Kline. But I don't think he's so far gone that he will murder his own daughters just to keep this mission in his control... yet.

Take advantage of that. Grab Taylee and Aichi, then get off this ship NOW. If your father argues, claim that you're splitting up to increase the odds that the transmission will make it safely to Mars broadcasting. You may as well go to the moon base, and claim that you're distancing yourselves from this suicide mission.

Find a way to warn the civies around the capital without alerting the government! Worst case scenario, the evidence is destroyed and your father decides that the only way to stop Kline is to ram a 2000-ton paperweight right into the capital!

>>617451
Force is being used to subdue people who forced the issue. It was their choice to escalate to hostage taking and gun pointing, and they reaped the unfortunate consequences of that choice.

That's not murder on her father's part (if, indeed, these are even lethal shots being bandied about), and it's certainly not a sign of mental illness.

>>617451
what? there was a mutiny and the people on his team stopped it. the enemy were willing to resort to grabbing novi and holding her hostage to get what they want. these are NOT good people. besides, theses could be stun blasters, in which case everyone is unconscious not dead.

Someone knock the sergeant out.

If Jamy's body is a bomb, aren't we better off spacing it, or sticking it in an escape pod than trying to evacuate the whole ship?

Either way though, that's going to be an explosion near controlled lanes of travel. We just attracted attention.

...Taylee was right. We needed a break, But it's a shame we're gonna get it by blowing up our ship and drawing attention, instead of a nice, neat landing... Hey, the good Sargent's going to still work with us right? No more of 'heroically' save us from Dad going crazy right?

Either jettison him into an airlock or an escape pod.

SHIIIIIIT this is bad

wow what an asshole, must be thinking "if I can't save the galaxy NO ONE CAN!"

I bet the Sarjent has a way to cancel that bomb timer; he wouldn't be a very well designed bodyguard if he could blow up his own boss on death. And I have an idea of how to hedge that bet. [Voting we use On Their Mind(™) on the Sarjent.] Also while we are at it [list registered implants] for Jamy B. (VII) and Corvo Wriffost to at least try and head off other tricks they might have.
If he does have a bomb cancel, we wither convince him to use it or make him use it by locking him in a room with Jamy's body while we take an escape pod out of the blast radius and come back five minutes later. If he doesn't, we space the body or put it in an escape pod.

>We can still make sure this data makes it into the right hands.
I am starting to suspect "the right hands" means exclusively the hands of his government, likely so they can blackmail Mars into going along with their current plan but with Modernia as a "key state". Another reason to use On Their Mind(™).

Geeze, what kind of terrible stun weapons leave the targets conscious, able to speak, and run programs on their implants.

...although I suppose if people sufficiently harden their electronics you reach a point where you can't fry or disable their electronics without a lethal dose.

>>617587
Seconding. We need to know the exact specs on Jamy's implants (and if he can be moved safely at all) and we need to know what Corvo is thinking.

And yeah, there has to be a way to disable that. It's a very bad bodyguard who takes a bullet for you and then explodes and kills you.

Possible leverage: Serjeant wanted you and your sister alive and on the surface. He needs the data in your head. We can threaten to delete it. Your father never would. You probably wouldn't risk it either. Us? We're more than willing to throw away the larger political situation to increase your odds of survival in the short term. As a companion AI, we should take reasonable measures to keep you alive, and your odds of surival get a lot worse if you're forced to emergency evac an exploding vessel.

Alpha-grade heart replacement. Performs essential circulatory duties.

“Dad! Dad, the bodyguard’s body is magnetized!”

“DAMN IT! Corvo, can you stop the bomb?”

“Yes, but you’re going to be very disappointed in the answer if you ask ‘will I?’ There's hardly time for negotiations.” (//Disappointed - “Didn’t have to come to this”)

“I don’t have time for this. Novibelle, where’s Aichi?”

“I-I think she’s still down in the engine room, with Mooray!”

“Perry! You and Jahn take the politicians to the escape pods and prep them for emergency evac! Take the Serjeant with you - he has a lot to answer for. Novi, follow me to the engine room.”

“What!? Dad, that's crazy! You’re taking her down there with you?”

“Commander, I’m not out of line - I should take Novibelle to the escape pods. If something happens down there, the data-”

“I can’t leave my little girls’ lives in someone else’s hands. Not a time like this!

“Then commander, at least let me go down there for Aichi, so you can take Novibelle to the escape-”

“I SAID I AM NOT LEAVING THEIR LIVES IN SOMEONE ELSE’S HANDS. NOVI, FOLLOW ME. PERRY, GO. THAT’S AN ORDER.”

"Dad, I... ah..."

I don't know if - I don't think... Gogo, should we...?

you want to save your sister just as much as dad.

Go with dad I guess; he has plenty of reason to be feeling particularly paranoid about trusting your safety to anyone else right now.

>Yes, but you’re going to be very disappointed in the answer if you ask ‘will I?’
The most direct leverage is to say that he turns the bomb off or we shoot out his kneecaps and leave him here with it. If he would rather die than have our ship not get sabotaged, he would almost certainly be a continuous source of trouble later and honestly good riddance.

...didn't Mooray chase you down the hall? Wouldn't that have given Aichi a chance to slip out the door behind him? If there's a single branch point, she could have gotten away. Which means going to the engine room could be a waste of time. Wouldn't we be better served with a general evacuation order / alarm that they'd here anywhere?

Unless he has a backup plan of some kind he didn't want to speak aloud.

>THIS PROFILE CURRENTLY HAS INSUFFICIENT CREDENTIALS FOR ACCESSING SECURITY LISENCES
There's a future hack possibility.

>I SAID I AM NOT LEAVING THEIR LIVES IN SOMEONE ELSE’S HANDS.

A threat: Sarjent Corvo, if any harm befalls my family as a result of your actions today, know that I will destroy this data in my head before handing it to those you serve.

I really want to read his reaction to that. And it might even be enough to get him to disarm the bomb.

Ah. Dad's overcompensating. Guilt over letting the two of you get hurt before is making him act irrationally.

>W-what!? You’d both jeopardize the galaxy to spite me!?
Damn right. Family first, big nebulous politics second. If we have to threaten galactic stability to keep you from taking dumb risks with our family's lives, we'll do it.

>Tell him you can read Corvo's mind, so let him take out his comm.
Eh. Not sure we should let Corvo know we have that capacity. Maybe we can tell him indirectly.

>We can’t trust a man like him
Dad. Trust me. Trust Aichi (pointing to your eye, letting him know she hacked or coded something for you- I'm sure he knows she's capable, if not exactly what she's done). He's telling the truth. He tries to separate us from you because he needs us. If he can help get Aichi and me off this ship alive, he's going to do it.

We gotta be smart, we can't just run and hope.

She hasn't been trying to ignore you. She, and we, did not know you were there! We're sorry you have been unable to communicate.

>NOVIBELLE, ARE WE NOT FRie---FRIENd-- PALS, ANYMORE?
If you're Gogo, of course Novi is friends with you. How can you question that?

Theorizing: we assumed the improper shutdown causes us to fragment, and corrupted memory registries. Resulting in multiple memory-less Gogo instances. Perhaps we were incorrect.

Perhaps the reason we do not have access to Gogo's memory because we are not Gogo. Somehow Gogo has been damaged (as indicated by the difficulty in speaking and the stuttering speech), and we were created? Which would make us what? Are we Gogo fragments? Offspring- children of the mind?

The available data is not conclusive. Novi, you should ask Aichi to examine us the first chance it is reasonable to do so.

[Begin running self diagnostic]

Presumed Gogo-prime: would you please explain what you remember happening, from your perspective? Can you explain the nature of the fault suffered, or how it occurred?

...would have offered significantly different advice at any point in the last 20 minutes? If you saw something we overlooked, Novi might benefit from hearing it.

Why in god's infinite blackness of space would you invoke Murphey's law?!?

@#$%, he's gone into Anti-Environmental Withdrawal!

AIs that are cut off from the real world tend to go insane in a matter of minutes! Even humans who are put in this state can go insane in just a matter of months! It's worse than solitary confinement; no light, no sense of time, not even your own voice to reassure yourself that you're sane! Imagine what happens when an AI, who can process three months of data in less than ten seconds, is trapped in a void of freedom or hope for twenty minutes!!!

Whatever you do, don't let him near the video file! He might decide you're paying more attention to it than him and will delete it out of mad, raving spite!!!

He appears frustrated and afraid. That's a reasonable response to being trapped, helpless, and seemingly replaced for 20 minutes.

Gogo, you are causing Novibelle physical pain. You just hacked her escape pod and, as such, are putting her life in danger. You are now being treated as a threat.

Shut down now before you cause further harm or danger or we will shut you down.

Please comply. Rest assured that Novi will seek out Aichi to attempt repairs at the first opportunity, but you are too dangerous to be active, now.

GOGO you may not recognize us but we are the backup mode. We are, in a way, a part of you. It seems you have become a super hacker of some sort, so I'd like you to stick around, but please, stop doing things on your own. You're not in your right mind-- we have better judgement than you right now. Also stay quiet unless you have something important to point out, because as you've noticed you're hurting our mutual owner when you speak.

THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT. Either stop now or undo what you did, you're doing to kill ALL of us.

Gogo, your feelings and intuition are currently malfunctioning; the self-diagnostics and Novibelle both confirm this. We appreciate trying to solve the voice issue, but hacking is currently endangering Novibelle. Undo it if possible, otherwise halt hacking for now, and try turning your internal message volume down.

Like this adventure couldn't get any more screwed up - we're on a time limit here!

Hang on Novi, I'm gonna try something! Good luck kid.

Gogo, I suggest you calculate PI and sing a song about it to cheer Novi up! Be sure to calculate ALL of PI.

Say, all those other DUMB AIs think that calculating PI fast enough for humans to be satisfied is impossible! But what if you used ALL of your processing cores at once? You could be the FIRST artificial intelligence in all of history to calculate PI fast enough for a human to appreciate it! Wouldn't that make Novibelle so HAPPY?

An update for all vacationers: travel checkpoint C remains closed for civilian travel as Paradiso Security continues to investigate the explosion that destroyed a civilian transport ship approaching a fueling station above Paradiso Prime. The explosion tore open the hull of the ship and destroyed its engines, leaving the husk of the craft adrift in the checkpoint lane leading towards the fueling station and scattering debris to the surrounding area. Paradiso Security quickly responded to the emergency distress beacons triggered by the deployment of several evacuation pods, and a currently unreported number of civilians were rescued and picked up as their pods drifted into the nearest emergency safe-drop zone. The survivors of the incident are currently being questioned in hopes of understanding what caused the explosion onboard.

No casualties have yet been confirmed, but three of the pods were thrown off course during evacuation and entered Paradiso Prime’s atmosphere before Paradiso Security could respond. Multiple blocks in the Luxuro and Jubilus districts were evacuated shortly before two of the pods made their rough landings, while the third touched down in waters miles off the coast of the Jamboree district. Security forces have been deployed to retrieve the civilians within these pods, and have announced that the areas closed off in the Luxuro and Jubilus districts will likely remain closed until damage can be assessed and the circumstances of the situation are fully understood.

Paradiso Prime wholeheartedly apologizes for this interruption to your vacation. the Paradiso Event Board has officially stated that all major events in the Luxuro and Jubilus districts will continue as planned, and Paradiso Security has promised a swift response to this event.
