| CADUCEUS |
Traverse town was busy as always, the dusky skies looking no different then usual. What is perhaps new is the sound of an electronic whine, a hum as a black motorcycle with green glowing lines about it as it moves about. The rider was helmeted, a full face black helmet obscuring his vision but the green lines seem to be on him as well as the bike. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine walks along the street, coming back from District 3. That's where she had a chat with Jidro, before pushing him into the fountain. That felt good alright. He's wet, not hurt anyway.
She is leafing through the notepad she carries with her, re-reading some of the notes she wrong down. She stopped paying attention to most people, at least visually, she just uses her ears for conversations that might give her more insight on this world, or where to go from here. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason is fot alone nay, she's got her mechanical dog coming along behind her whom seems to be sniffing about for who knows what. He certainy behaves like a dog made out of flesh. She's got her goggles down at the moment as she's just plain out exploring the strange city. Though she looks pretty strange herself all things considered. |
| CADUCEUS |
CADUCEUS turns the corner to nearly runs into Annia, hands grasping the controls of the bike and forces it to stop before her, the loud screech heard as he almost runs into the girl, stopping about half a foot before walking into her which causes him to gasp silently as he breathes in relief. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine blinks at the sudden screeching. Well, that's a surprise alright. She puts a hand on her hip, closing up the book "I don't hink vehicles are permitted in here, the streets aren't made for bikes." She says flatly, and matter of factly. The streets are all stony, and there are no streets, or parking place per se, just space to walk around. "I think you should leave your thing at the entrance of the town." |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason leaps back as she sees a motorcyle and leaps back keeping out of harms way. She says "hey are you all right?! " She sees no one's dead so all the better, right? Swimmer tilts his head and looks very confused at CADUCEUS for a long moment, also SWIMMER is clealry mechanical from the looks of him. "Well no one's hurt so that's what's imporant, right?" |
| CADUCEUS |
"Lightcycle. It is a lightcycle and vehicles are permitted here as long as no one is injured." A voice says from the enclosed black helmet, the voice heavily synthesized and he moves off of the lightcycle. "I could leave it at the entrance of town..." He says thoughtfully before pushing a button on one of the handles of the device and the entire thing begins to disassemble into green energy and light before her until the handles meat together and form a baton which is in his hand. "Or maybe that would be more efficient?" He asks curiously at the woman. "I do thank you for your opinion, user." He says politely as he moves the baton to the side of his leg. Once pressed to his leg it sticks to him as if magnetized. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine tilts her head "Well its just a bit of common sense, I guess they never had any vehicles here, the streets are clearly inadequate for it." She looks around. Not much trace of them "Usually there are traffic signs, traffic lights, some signs of them, I would guess at least, otherwise the pedestrians wouldn't be safe, and the vehicles wouldn't know where to drive without hurting anyone either. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason blinks at the name of the craft and isn't going to argue. "This city looks like a patch work Annia, it could not have an formal government." She's only arrived recently and is unaware the town has a mayor. "user?" she pauses for a moment "What do you mean by User?" Why was he using a computer term? |
| CADUCEUS |
"Forgive me. Do any of you know what a computer is? If so, it will make my explination much easier." CADUCEUS says as the helmet begins to undo, folding back into his armor to reveal his face and he holds out a hand. "I am the Clinical Assistance Directorial Utilitary Companion with Enhancement Upgrade Systems but you may call me CADUCEUS if you wish." He says with a calm tone. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine ughs at that "No, I don't like those things at all." She's a more down to earth (or whatever planet) person, she's not electronic at all. The best she has is her phone really. The rest, she can live without. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason says "Yes, yes I do." She points to runner "I wrote the OS he's running on." She grins a little bit rather proud of that." She pauses at CaD she stares for a moment at CAD "Wait... what are you..." Users can BSOD it seems as she's just kind staring for a moment. |
| CADUCEUS |
"I am a computer program, designed to aid medics during war. Because of my function I gained the power to heal users when I left the grid and came here. Years spent in the games also taught me how to repair other programs as well. You both are users, beings who outside the computer, capable of creating or destroying programs." CADUCEUS says calmly. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine shakes her head a bit, letting Myla handle that. She opens her notebook, reading through it a bit idly. She's not much about programs and computers. She understand the use of them though, but not very much about living programs. They look human to her. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason listens hears it but it just doesnt' parse to her mind at this ponnt she's just dumbly nodding trying to well be uncertain if the man is crazy or not. He doesn't seem dangerous though... |
| CADUCEUS |
CADUCEUS just chuckles a bit. "I see perhaps the idea of living programs is...unusual. It is a common reaction I am learning. Many programs worship the users because of their ability to create programs and destroy them. They believe you both gods where I come from. My medical training however had trained me to acknowledge how frail your peoples are." |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason says "But machines don't get much smarter than Swimmer..." Swimmer barks almost annoyed for a moment and she just kinda is suffering information overload from CADEUS she' registering it might hit her in full force later... |
| CADUCEUS |
"You never been inside the computer have you?" CADUCEUS asks. "If you have then you may find how much alike programs are to yourself." CADUCEUS says calmly. |
| Annia Leradine |
Annia Leradine looks around and finds some place to sit down while she checks through her notes. So, network huh... the grid, games... That's interesting info too. She hmms and starts to write down things. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason just looks at CADUCEUS again strangely and nods a little bit she makes note of this but looks like she has this urge to get going it's a heck of a lot to take in if it turns out to be true. |
| CADUCEUS |
CADUCEUS just nods. "Whenever your both free and willing, I would like to perform a medical scan with this disk on my back. This way if you are injured I can treat your injuries quickly and no cost." He says calmly. |
| Myla Mason |
Myla Mason just takes a deep breath and she says "Err..." She looks a littl uncertain after all giving a stranger her medical data would be prehaps not the wisest thing in the world right now. She humm "I'll think about it CADUCEUS..." |
