RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras

Tucker: Oh... I'm fine.  Just a little stir-crazy--.

Chel interupts Tucker, if he had anything more to say.  He ponders her conclusion.

Tucker: It seems to be written in standard code... the code just keeps changing.  Everything else is finished though, yes?
Chel: Correct.
Tucker: Okay... then just forget about the... S.K.E. system for now.

He looks to Star.

Tucker: You do consist of unknown alloys.  I guess it serves to follow that your programming would contain foreign code as well.

He pauses to give her a chance to respond.

Tucker: Let's just look at what we can for now.  Advanced Weight Balancing Systems looks like something I can handle.  Chel, open program file.

Chel complies.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras



Star glances over to Tucker for a moment and then back to the screen as comes up, showing a general program that seemed to govern how Star could adjust her weight so perform certian acts, seemingly more like something that would help her have more agility in general.

The program didn't seem too complicated or long, just mostly seemed imcomplete, as if they the program half-finished and obviously errors were in the program due to imcomplete strings.

"You were saying, about being stir-crazy?" Star asks.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras

Tucker has almost no difficulty with this program, since it was rather easy and sufficiently basic.  The purpose is coded into the first few lines, so he begins to work out the errors that are plagueing the incomplete code.

Tucker: Just being locked in here for so long, with the same people... it drives a person crazy after a while.  I mean, I more or less like everyone here, but when you consider the circumstances, it's an unpleasent situation.

He types a few more strings out and double checks it to make sure that everything looks okay.

Tucker: Chel, check this one again and make sure I didn't miss anything.
Chel: Copy.

Chel takes half a minute and Tucker's errors are highlighted in red.  He goes back to fixing the code.

Tucker: It's like being locked up, really.  I guess it just amplifies all the little problems.  Headaches, dandruff... things that normally wouldn't be too troublesome, when there is nothing new or happy in your life, these things are more troublesome than they would be otherwise.

He steps back and squints at the code.

Tucker: Chel, again.
Chel: Copy.

This time there are only a few red spots and Tucker quickly fixes them.

Tucker: Okay, that should do it.

He sends the code back to Star.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras



Star listens patiently, watching him fix the code in the program, typing and looking up and down and such. She looks over the red highlights also, just to see what he had seemed to miss. However when the code was sent back to her, instead of commenting on whether it was fine or not, she asked, "there's nothing happy in your life?" Her head turning to regard him.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras

Tucker doesn't skip a beat.

Tucker: I'd be happy if I knew that code was okay... Do you feel, ah, different?  Or more complete?

-----

Balinor rubs her temples and lets out what can only be construed as a groan.

William watches and feels just as useless as he had five hours ago.

William: You need a break.
Balinor: Yes.

William is taken aback by this confession.  He had been completely prepaired to convince Bali to take an hour or two off, but she seemed to be willing to take it without his prodding.

William: Right, well.  Are you hungry?

Balinor looks at William with her eyebrows pressed together and an expression that speaks for her.

William: Okaaay... decomposing bodies kinda killed my appetite too.
Balinor: I just want this to be over.

William wraps an arm around her shoulder and steers her away from the morgue.

William: I think you need to compose your thoughts and work from one angle... you seem to be all over the place.
Balinor: I'm tired.
William: I understand.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras



Star replies first with a long silence, seeming to stare at Tucker for a few moments. Suddenly, she turns back to the monitors and nods once. "The program is working ... though I wouldn't say I .. 'feel' .. any different."

Even though Tucker was likely more atune to machines and their workings, the rather suggestion tone that Star had just displayed had been pretty much her first she had displayed it all. In fact, it even seemed human ... but suggested she was slightly annoyed - assuming she actually felt anything.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras

Tucker quirks a brow at Star.  She actually seemed to sound offended by the question, or, at least, annoyed by it.  This he didn't understand.

Tucker: Okay.  Well, as long as it's working...  I guess I'll start looking at the next one.

The next one turned out to be called: Cell Adjusting Systems.  He opened the program and found it to be a tad more complicated than the first one.  There was more missing code, holes in the programming, and errors.  He began to wonder how these rather simplistic programs had been allowed to disentigrate so much.  These seemed relatively easy.  If he was the programmer, he would have worked on these first.

Tucker: This seems... almost irresponsible of whoever your programmer was, to leave the code like this so broken.  Especially since you're running...

He's furiously typing away.  Chel is automatically highlighting whatever mistakes he makes, so he can correct them quickly.

Chel: She is incomplete, Tucker.

Tucker looks up at the woman's face and stares at it blankly.

Tucker: What?
Chel: Given the diagnostic, the logical conclusion is that she is incomplete.  She shouldn't be running at all.  She is... unfinished.

Chel has a very human-esque voice, and it contains all the proper intonations and fluctuations, her meaning is painfully clear.

Tucker looks to Star, and finds he cannot think of anything to say.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras



Star mostly stays quiet as the conversation goes on until Chel had decided to claim that she shouldn't be running at all. Star gives Tucker another glance and looks to Chel.

"Logical or not, had I not booted up when I did, it's highly probable I would've been in the hands of unknown life forms that seemed to have a wish to tear me apart ... given the choice, I'd choose to be running and imcomplete than to not to be running at all." Star sounded somewhat defensive, but calm before folding her arms a bit and turning away from Chel.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras

Tucker notices the air is vaguely smelling of something rather akin to cat-fight.  He wonders how two AI entities could possibly have a cat-fight.  He returns to his work with a determined expression.

Tucker: Well, I'm glad you're running, at least.

He's not really sure if that counts for anything.

Tucker: And enough of your systems are running that... well, you didn't get torn to pieces, so I'd say you can probably take care of yourself, with or without these programs.

He types a few more lines.

Tucker: I guess I just don't understand why these programs weren't finished right away, if even a ship mechanic with only limited computer programming skills like myself can figure them out.

He hopes he isn't doing anything wrong.

RE: Tenga Cuidado con Piedras



Star turned a bit to Tucker as he began to speak, replying with, "when I booted up and saw the two scientists who had apparently been working on me - dead. It's probable they had been that way for.. a while. Though I didn't stay that long to really examine them."
