"You're conversing with Donatello-

.....

Just kidding, you got my inbox bu~t if you leave a message I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can."

One of Donnie's many projects.

Finally, a blink as she turns the request over, examines it, compares it to everything in her core, then discards it.

Donatello is not Warren. He is not an Authorised User of Sarah-13.

Emotionless glass eyes of unnatural green meet Donnie's eyes.

"Request denied. Donatello does not have the appropriate authorisation within this unit's core coding. The Creator of unit Sarah-13, Warren Hadley, is not here to grant the request. Apologies." Somehow the monotone seems genuinely sorry. Not that Donnie's getting a chance to but in as Sarah keeps talking.

"However, this unit will keep what is seen to itself. It is merely following it's programing to learn about everything it can. Curiosity or a desire for more data to create better algorithmic processes that will enable this unit to be more proficient in what it does. However, some data sets are considered classified. The data set belonging to 'Donatello: Room' would be marked as such. If this is not a suitable alternative, please state so and this unit will mark the data already obtained as classified and leave."

Something organic and new and alien twists in rebellion at the idea. The nascent emotion is crushed under the heavy heel of logic.

"This Unit is an AI." A small shrug. "Willingness does not factor into goals, only acceptable outcomes." Another blink and a slight bird-like head tilt. Her version of confusion.

"Further more, Mikaela would not allow this unit to traverse and explore if it where to harm someone in the process of said exploration. More to the point, the doors of the R2 are far sturdier than even I could hope to breech and yours are this one's been particularly fortified. Wise, given the lab. If I breeched, I would be reporting to security and the captain at once as that data set would weight in orders of importance to what is in your room. We would have bigger problems, of which I would not be sorry about uncovering. Your death would be..."

Her face scrunches as best it can for a few seconds as she struggles with the wording. "Unfortunate and regrettable. Once you revived, I would allow allow a revenge kill on your end. If would likely make you feel better. I would not care to my death."


she is very, very, very likely missing the point by a long shot.

[Should she be encouraging the child? Probably not, but at the same time...

What she knows him as her impressed and any young tech genius always needs encouragement.

A few blueprints of the tamer and more harmless weapons from inside the Dark Fortress find their way into Donnie's inbox. Mostly handheld guns that all look designed to take down a target without lethal force, but there is a small artillery weapon in there designed to immobilise the target.

Nothing remotely lethal, of course, but the blueprints are more wire frames with notes attached. Notes detailing what it's intended for with power sources mentioned, rather than 'how to actually build a thing'.]


Perhaps you might find some enjoyment? I have non-weapons too, if you desire. A sample of my colour changing paints, for example.

[personal profile] managerbehindthrone 2024-09-05 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
We'll start with this one. It's quiet involved and I've never made heads or tails of it, truly.

[She drops in the plans for a whole arse Augmented-VR system that's designed for movies more than it is games. It is, of course, state of the art. Could it be turned into something else? yes.

But also: Sometimes you just want a very cool movie theatre in your Supervillain's Planet Destroying Fortress. Also a pool room and a ballpit room, but details.]


Of course. It's better I give you a sample outright, though. I can come to you or you to me. I'm in my rooms. Where are you?
managerbehindthrone: (I feel pretty)

[personal profile] managerbehindthrone 2024-09-05 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? It was quite common in all cities before the war. I merely ensured one was built into the city of the Space Fortress.

[A fortress that just happened to be a Planet Destorying Dark Fortress; one that's hers, no matter what her beloved husband might say about it.]

I shall arrive shortly.

[True to her word, she does soon arrive, and there is a polite knock on the door from Esme, who's in beastmode and sporting a dark purple-and-gold colour schemw, with the occassional dark red trimmings tossed.]
managerbehindthrone: (Default)

[personal profile] managerbehindthrone 2024-09-05 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Understandable. We've been at war for a very long time.

[Esmeryl does take a quick glance around, but then she drops the curiosity. If he's anything like any of her tinkerers and mad scientists back on the Fortress, he'll show off when he's good and ready and not a drop before. She's also a guest in his space.

He could, like any good Decepticon scientist would, have a multitude of hidden traps of varying lethality.

She offers as much of a smile as her beast mode will allow and offers what passes as a bow of greeting.]


Pardon the intrusion into your space, Donatello. And I believe it would be wiser to remain in beastmode.

[She a - does not wish to tower over her host, and b - sometimes a lady just wants to be a pretty griffon-dragon kaiju. Also her beast mode is arguably half her bipedal height. ]

[There's a small, found smile that tugs at her mouth. He'd get along well with Solon. Probably (they'd either be best friends or brilliant rivals, but she is certain they'd egg each other on in some fashion and form. And or all the scientists Esmeryl personally knows, and she does wonder: What is it with them and combining work and recreational spaces?

No matter. As long as they are happy and not plotting too much mayhem for those they live with, she personally doesn't care what they do, and it's easy enough to nod and hmm with the appropriate level of enthusiasm and interest. Which isn't faked, though not for the reasons Donnie might think.

It's always good to know how to best disable a scientist's lab if one must. Ideally it'd be left to the person, but one doesn't run the day-to-day operation of a giant planet destroying fortress without back-ups of back-ups.]


Garden? Plants, or...?
managerbehindthrone: (Bright)

[personal profile] managerbehindthrone 2024-09-06 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her optics light up a happy, gleeful red. Does she care other Decepticons might have claimed him as theirs? No. Not at all. He's now under her protection, too.

(He could be useful and at the end of the day, she is nothing of not pragmatic. Donatello could be many things; a friend for her son first and foremost. Another scientist in her employ. The list goes on.)

A blink to refocus her thoughts, and Esmeryl blinks again, optics widening.]


I... Some. yes. [She crouches to get a better look at the garden, tail twitching slightly. Even now, she's mindful of the teenager's lair. Some of the plants he has she hasn't seen since she left Cybertron. The rest are unfamiliar to her.

It doesn't make it any less wondrous to see them here.

Her head snaps to look at the turtle, ears pricked with keen interest.]


I wouldn't say no to a guided tour of your work before we get down to business.
managerbehindthrone: (Considering)

[personal profile] managerbehindthrone 2024-09-07 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
MISHELLE? She's adorable, and doubtless packs a mean sting if required. [There's a grin in her voice; she finds the tiny (to her) drone adorable, yet she also recognises the skill needed to create such a thing.

It's impressive.

Yet soon her attention slips to the battle shell, and Esmeryl hums in thought. On one hand, both would be a useful addition to an already impressive arsenal, but on the other...

Her optics slit as she mulls it over.]


If you are looking for purely defensive, both would be adequate and doubtless you have ideas in mind. However, have you considered hiding them until someone is foolish enough to jump your back or pick you up?

Assuming you are not averse to blood and viscera, of course. [Her tone is non-judgmental either way. She is well ware that even amongst her Decepticons there are the rare few who don't do well with insides becoming outsides.]

There is also the practical uses for intimidation.

[There is a small whir of actuators as Velocity shifts her weight back and forth for a few moments]

I don't think I've heard that sort of thing before. So it's just... steps in a process? Maybe?

[If she sounds uncertain to the point of dubiousness, it's because she is. Along with...]

Does it help? Returning to things after a break? Usually I just... attempt to power through until I have to stop. That's how I managed to write all of my papers and tests for school. The words might have wanted to wiggle off of the page, but if you concentrate hard enough, they... well, they still wiggle, and give you a headache for your troubles, but there'll be less of them to deal with. Probably.
tenthtimeisthecharm: (chit chat #4)

[personal profile] tenthtimeisthecharm 2024-09-08 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Velocity immediately and hurriedly shook her head]

No no no, that's not what- I'm not saying it's your fault or that you should stop if you truly enjoy it. If that's your joy and source of passion, stick with it. That's a part of where you make your meaning. I just mean...

[Velocity fights not to wince as she relates far too much to what he's saying, to keep her voice steady and calm]

I just want you to think about it, okay? About whether you're only worth keeping around because of what you can do for people. Aren't you loved for other things, too? I'm pretty sure your family and friends love you even when you don't do clever things, or when you're feeling tired or angry or are unpleasant to be around, because everybody gets those ways sometimes. I just...

[Her mouth pulled, knowing she was being hypocritical. That didn't matter, though. What mattered here was Donnie]

I just don't want you to do the exact same things I've done. There will always be people who hurt you. You don't have to do their job for them.
tenthtimeisthecharm: (think thunk)

[personal profile] tenthtimeisthecharm 2024-09-08 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Velocity didn't know what to think of this different perspective, but... it did sound like it would weigh less upon you, didn't it? If everything linked up together, if even the failures weren't failures but just a way you learned not to do something. It was very tempting. As was what he said next]

That does make sense... after submitting things, I always found places where I would have gone into more detail or come to different conclusions.

[Another thoughtful frown, and she hesitated as a very small wish bubbled up in her chest, but...]

Do you think... do you think I could work on some of these things nearby you, sometimes? Ratchet said I ought to keep writing research papers to keep myself stimulated, and, well... I don't go very many places with anyone, aside from the medibay and the library. It might be nice.
