[b]Watcher knelt down, picking out the chip carefully [/b]
"Damn..."
[b]He entered into a slot on his wrist where there was a data pad.[/b]
"Is this Ion?"
English
-
[b]Ion starts talking again.[/b] [i]Yeah, this is Ion.[/i]
-
"I'm sorry about Rook. Truly."
-
[i]In all honesty, that's the only thing he wanted. He just didn't have the strength to do it.[/i]
-
"IT'S still a shame to see such a... Potential to to waste."
-
[i]Well whos fault is it for not getting medical help? I'm sorry you monumental IDIOT but last time I checked you shot him three times![/i]
-
"What? You never know. What if he became a zombie? We had zombies attack the dojo once."
-
[i]So what? The only thing you wanted to do was brainwash him, instead of trying to hekp him. Let's do some reality check here, I had to watch you shoot my friend in the head three times. [/i]
-
"You always could have logged off or something."
-
[i]Because I didn't know what the hell you were going to do. [/i]
-
"Well you said I had a choice... I chose to kill damnit."
-
[i]Well I'm sorry he prgrammed me to give you that choice. Remember Rook's mental state. He thought death was the only cure for him. There was help, but he wouldn't listen to it.[/i]
-
"See? Then death came. I granted his wish."
-
[i]Do you realize what I've been saying? I'm trying to tell you he thought. He skipped out on every type of medication, every cure he could have taken. He thought it was all garbage. But I couldn't do anything. I'm programmed never to tell him about the cures available. I couldn't warn anyone. That's why I tried to get someone to notice. [/i]
-
"You found the wrong guy Ion..."
-
[i]I took my chance. And Rook took his.[/i] [b]For a split second the light on Rook's helmet flickers on and off one last time. Ion nearly thought that he was back, but it was impossible.[/b]
-
"So... Is there anywhere I should leave you? Computer maybe?"
-
[i]A computer would be fine. I have one thing to ask you, please take Rook's helmet, I'd like to access the files and memories from it. [/i]
-
"Yeah sure." [b]Watcher knelt by Rook, attempting to pull the helmet off [/b]
-
[i]Hit the button on the right side, right next to the visor, that will unlock the helmet and you can take it off.[/i]
-
"Alright...." [b]Watcher does as told, hitting the button and slipping the helmet off. [/b]
-
[b]Rook's face was barely recognizable, the blood and bullet holes masking his face.[/b] [i]If you can just put my computer chip back into the small slot on the helmet, that'll be good. Then if you can hook the helmet up to a computer, that will be perfect.[/i]
-
"I was thinking... You know I'm sure the dojo Guard would appreciate some help from an A.I. SUCH as yourself."
-
[i]I think I'll be happy to help out. I was in fact specifically designed to help Rook in combat. I'll help the Dojo Guard.[/i]
-
"You think we could change some of your programming to? To fit it in better? What restrictions do you have currently?"
-
[i]He never set any restrictions, he wanted me to be as human as possible. If you can hook his helmet to a computer, I can reprogram myself to what you need. The only people that could reprogram me is Rook and myself. [/i]
