Questionable Orientation [Timmir]

Post by Timmir2 on Aug 24, 2014 7:25:16 GMT
Elec stated that they should probably head to the lab before getting any ice cream. This didn't seem to sit well with Guilix as he asked Elec if he wanted Guilix to eat either Megan or Kami. Megan just rolled her eyes as she called his bluff. She highly doubted that he would attempt to eat her, and even if he tried... Well, she guessed she would probably have some explaining to give Josh.
Karen then popped in on ARROW to ask them to come to her lab. With their choice now given to them, Guilix seemed to concede. Then as the lizard headed to the door, Josh walked through it at the same, slamming Guilix with door. Megan couldn't help, but giggle a bit at the display as, even if just for a second, karma seemed to truly exist.
"Okay then sir." Megan said as she waved for Kami to follow. Kami was a bit hesitant to follow her though as the terminal had allowed him to truly be a part of conversation, if but in a limited way. Yet the turtle digimon choose to follow after her with a sigh, hoping that another terminal would be in the lab so that he could know what evetybody is saying without bothering Megan.
As Megan and Kami followed Josh, she couldn't help, but notice that his arm is different. It was a lot obvious that it was mechanical then the previous one. Yet, as far as she knew, was one of the most functional prostatic arms she ever seen, or heard about for that matter. Though there was one other thing she was curious about the arm.
"Well, I hope this isn't overstepping any boundaries, and you don't have to anawer if you don't want to. But what exactly happened to cause you to... Well uhh... Need a prostatic arm in the first place." She asked curiosity An injury like that would surely had a story behind it, but she also knew that it probably wasn't something Josh liked to think about. Yet a curious mind had to know.

Guilix had threatened to eat Kami or Megan, but Elec was far from impressed, and his expression shown it, giving his little brother a flat glare as he made the boast. The expression lightened up slightly as the ultimate digimon was knocked back by his "tamer". Well, it seemed that, indeed, they would all head to the lab. He hoped Kami really liked that whole terminal thing. Maybe Karen can help him out in that regard.
And then ice cream. As soon as the lab visit was finished. Because Elec figured that any messing around after that would make Guilix more onery.
Josh invited Megan to ask questions about the lab or his arm. In response, she asked the obvious question of how he got the arm in the first place. Of course, Elec knew exactly what happened himself, as he saw the incident that caused his damaged arm and leg first hand, but he would not answer the question. For one, it was Josh who invited the question. He is more than capable enough to answer it. The other reason is for Guilix's sake. Josh bounced back quite quickly after he got the new limbs. But he was unsure how Guilix felt about it. Of course, Guilix was the one who saved Josh in the first place, at the cost of two limbs.
He'd just have to hear how Josh describes it.

Josh had sort of a quick pace that required a bit of effort to keep up with it seemed as they walked up the stairs and around a few corners heading for the door they'd passed before with Guilix. He was almost to it when the question was asked, the obvious question about his arm and he stopped in place, Guilix looking up at him as he stopped expectantly. "Uhhh?"
Josh Looked ahead for a moment silently before spinning around with his smile still gleaming brightly as ever. "I Thought you'd never ask!", he spoke then looked to Kami and thought for a second, taking out his own digivice, a spirit wielder digivice at that though a bit, interesting shaped so it looked a tad bit like it had a mix of the DATS digivice in it.
He pressed a button and spoke "Hey ARROW can I get yer help for a sec, I need to tell a story. Then after a moment a hologram of ARROW, although not a very good one, a bit glitchy and small, appeared projected small above the screen of the digivice and he'd hand it to Kami having to kneel down. "Here ya go, experimental feature we're trying to get into all DATS digivices, so soon you guys may be able to do this too, though it doesn't have nearly the quality the bigger equipment can produce.", he nodded all the words he spoke appearing below ARROWS little hologram much like before, although a bit glitchy at times.
He then stood up with a hop and clasped his hands together. "Well it was quite the adventure you see my friends!", he began Guilix seeming to get a bit giddy at his 'Boss' telling a story, even if he had heard it a thousand times, and had been there.
"It began dep in the woods somewhere around here, Me Guilix Elec and a few of Elec's friends stumbled upon a old laboratory in the woods and accidentally activated it's A.I, who'd gone a bit stir crazy it seemed. It did all kinds of crazy things like trying to crush us and producing fake digimon to try to trick us. In the end we made it to it's control room but that was exactly what it wanted, and wouldn't ya know it it'd planned to use my body to try to escape that lab. It tried to Enter my body but with the help of my friends I fought it out, but heh not without frying a third of the nerves in my body.", the whole story was told very animatedly with lots of hand gestures, including a knock to his hip which clanged a bit, being mechanical too apparently. "I looked like a gonner but I pulled though and now I'm here today! Though we're still investigating that A.I... MX-14 i think it was called, it seemed getting rid of the A.I fried all the computers in that lab so none of the data was salvaged, we still don't know who made it or why, but it's to be assumed they were up to no good."
As he finished up Guilix was about to clap but then looked around and scoffed instead rolling his eyes and pretending to be cool once more.

Kami was happy to see that DATS digivice could possibly have the translation feature too here soon enough. It would help alleviate several of the communication problems he usually had. Not that he mind what Megan did, he just would prefer to have direct communication with someone then have someone else interpret for him. It makes things much simplier. He wouldn't even mind not having the hologram if he could possibly get this translation feature that much quicker. Probably something he could beg Karen for.
The pair listened/read as Josh began telling them the story. It did surprise Megan how open he was about the events, but that seemed to be the type of person he was. It was almost hard to believe there was even a dishonest bone in his body. Though she wouldn't be surprised if he was holding something back from them.
"Wow... That sounds like it was a crazy adventure. Megan commented as she thought on what he told them. She was surprised to learn that there was a laboratory in the nearby woods. She had often went through the forest bird-watching and taking photo, and have never seen any signs of anything like that being there. Perhaps she had never traveled deep enough.
"So my next question. Are your prostatics made using tech from the digital world?" Megan asked. She already noted that Josh's prostatics were the most advance she has ever seen. The only two explanations she could come up for that was that the tech either was an ongoing project for DATS, or the tech came directly from the digital world. And seeing how they already admitted that DATS has little to no research in the medical field, that left the second option to be the most likely.

"Oh yes quite the adventure!", He replied with a bit of a laugh Guilix being quick to add in a bragging fashion. "Yea and he wasn't even the commissioner of DATS back then! He was the best field agent ever!", the dino nodded with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"Hehe yea It was quite a while ago! I've had to get my arm re-sized a few times since then actually, I must be growing a lot lately!", he chuckled before stopping talking to listen to the question. He'd actually never thought about it. "Ya know I actually never thougth about it", he stated and looked to Guilix who shrugged.
"Don't look at me Boss, Karen makes the stuff though I think it's a bit of digital stuffs in there. "
"Well I think it's a mixture... Yea probably, uhh you know what! Here just ask Karen, I mean we're at the lab anyway", he nodded and pushed open the door for them to pass though, revealing the lab whcih was probably the most interesting place on site, looking like a mixture of many labs with lots of doors going off into other areas with safety signs and halways and clean areas and glass white erase boards and the works!
"This is it! Welcome to the lab! Where magic happens via the fingertips of a resident Miss Professor Doctor or something like that Karen!", he stated as they'd walk in in quite the presentory fashion.

So the arm was made by Karen? Huh... That woman is still full of surprises." Megan mentally noted as they came closer to the lab. She was genuinely surprised about how much work Karen seemed to put into this place. ARROW, Robotics, and who knows what else. She truly was a talented woman.
"Hey Karen." Megan greeted as she walked into the lab. Kami only gave Karen a small wave as his eyes were glued to the hologram in front of him.

Well, thankfully the whole story of how Josh lost his limbs went across quite well. Again, Elec knew Josh was over it, but he was unsure how Guilix felt. But he seemed to be fine as well, so there was little reason to worry about it.
Meg then asked if the arm had any digital world tech in it. That was also something Elec was not sure of. And he would have let Josh answered that as well, but it seems neither him more Guilix knew the specifics either. The group was heading into the lab anyways, so who better to answer the question than the womon responsible for it?
Elec greeted Karen by her first name, and everyone else had their own greeting. Karen was, currently, looking through some papers, but sat them down as the others came.
"Ah'm not a doctor. Ah only went up to Master's and a Doctorate's not too practical for me. And it's 'Missus', not 'Miss'. Because Ah'm also married, ya know.
Tahtle nit-picking asahde, how are ya darlin's? Hope the tour turned out good."
"Yeah! It's been pretty interesting. Say, Suzie, we've been wondering... how much of Josh's arm is digi-world tech?"
The green Renamon chuckled a bit, but gave a prompt answer afterward. "Ah can't say for certain for his original replacement arm. Ah merely reversed engineered it and tweaked the desahne. But a little of mah experience is from the digital world... so maybe."

(now for my totally not late post)
"haHA! Karen long time no see eh?", Josh winked as he entered the lab with his others, stepping to the side and letting them look around. "Yes indeed! These two had an inquiry about my arm I just couldn't answer, so I thought they should ask the architect herself!", he spoke bold as usual before the two would ask their question but after greetings were exchanged. Then he stood at rest to listen to the answer, curious himself about what it would be.
Guilix didn't seem too amused with the conclusion to 'Suzie's' answer. "Wait hold you, you built it... but you don't know.", he cocked an eye ridge standing with a skeptical gait. He seemed a bit annoyed as well that she didn't know what her own thing was made of.
"That seems kind ah-[/color"BRILLIANT! Josh inturupted.
Guilix looked to him dumbfounded "Saywhanow?"
"I think it's amazing not knowing! I mean isn't that what life is about! We don't know how half the things we use work and that just gives us more appreciation to the designer and more to wonder about, and most importantly, less knowledge about their limitations! It leaves us to discover out own limits without low expectation!", he cheered stabbing his fist into the air. His mechanical fist.
"Ehh...errr...uh.. K Boss...

"Is that so? Huh?" Megan responded to Karen's claim that she didn't knew how much tech in Josh's arm was from the digital world. She was a little surprised by this. Out of everyone here, Megan had expected Karen to know where the tech for the arm came from. Yet that wasn't so.
Kami was just confused by this statement, wanting to ask her how she could not know where the tech of something came from. And he was honestly a bit surprise when Guilix had asked the same thing. While Guilix was a little ruder then Kami would have liked, it did seem like the first time they both agreed on something. Yet Josh seem to have a completely different attitude towards this.
"I don't know. It seems like a recipe for disaster to not know the limitations of something your using." Megan voiced her opinion as she crossed her arms, "One minute something seems to be working fine. The next, it fails on you when you need it most, and your not sure why."

Karen was a bit embarrassed, not because she didn't know, but because of everyone else's reactions. She rubbed the back of her head, chuckling a bit.
"Ah think ah should clarifah mahself.
As Ah said, ah reverse engineered and learned from the first limbs Josh got. Those were the first tahme Ah had to work on cahbernetic limbs for a human, alrahght? Whahle Ah have no concrete ahdea where the tech comes from, that arm and leg are mah creations, made here from scratch. Ah know its strengths, Ah know its limitations, which is of little use to our 'fearless leader', and improved upon the original desahgn.
Really, though, human or digital, if it makes you feel better, lets say its both. Ah can probably say that any tech Ah build is both human and digiworld tech bah default, heh heh."
Elec scratched his head. "I think I get it. Also, hey, could you perhaps work on something that would aid Kami to-
"Speak with others by translating his sign language into words and create an on screen display for him to see what everyone else says?"
"Well... yeah."
"So... Ah guess Ah'm tech-Santa now, hahaha."

[[I've been freaky busy so here's a quick post for you guys while I have a sec sorry!]]
"I I get it now, she's so smart she doesn't even need o know how something fully works! She can just build it on instinct! Like a warrior of the tech world!", he chuckled and stepped over to give Karen a big side hug, maybe a bit to tight before letting go and chuckling some more. "Isn't she the best huh? Best scientist I could've asked for, and being santa on the side, she's a nice person too!", he complimented again before walking over to the recruits, Guilix looking over at some other stuff having gotten a bit bored with the tour, looking though some glass vials that probably didn't have much of a purpose looking at his odd reflection pretty unamused.
"So!", he smiled at the recruits. "Our tour is nearly at an end! any other questions before you head out ready to take on missions and protect the world!?"

"Sorry. You honestly don't need to that for us if you don't want." Megan told Karen after she had guess what Elec was going to ask. Sure such a program would prove pretty useful, but she didn't want Karen to go out of her way just for them. Even if she knew Kami would feel the other way.
Speaking of whom, Kami was keeping track of the conversation through the digivice, and frowned a bit when Megan told Karen that she didn't have to make the translator device for them. Sure he understood that Megan's heart was in the right place, but such a device would help him communicate with others so much more. Especially when either Megan isn't around, or when he wants to speak to someone about something without Megan knowing (like about now). Though he guess there was still a good chance she might make him one anyways in the near future.
Megan's attention returned back to the commissioner as he stated that this was the end of the tour and asked if she had anymore questions. She thought for a moment, but couldn't think of anything. "Nope. I think you have answered pretty much everything I wanted to know." She told Josh while both her and Kami shook their heads no. It seemed that now a near era for the duo was just about to begin.

Karen fully knew how Josh's limbs worked. Frankly the notion that she was so smart she didn't fully understand it was... weird. And unintentionally insulting. But Josh was josh, and the Renamon just laughed it off. With that, the tour was just about over, and neither Megan nor Kami had any other questions. Meg had also said that Karen didn't have to make anything for Kami, but...
"Now, Now, hon. Ah may be smart, but Ah'm no mind reader. Whah do you think Ah guessed correctly what Elec was asking me?
Ah've got nothing concrete, sadly, but Ah've been planning a devahce for some tahme. However, there is a bit of an issue...
Karen started doing some sign language, but she would simply be saying "Y phone y phone y phone..."
"Ah don't know enough sahne language and it's contextual and physical nuances to effectively program it on mah own. Ah have considered a, shall we say, motion memory devahce to record the gestures, and then applah them to a word or phrase. But the movements of mah hands and arms won't match Kami's.
In short, Ah would need you two to help me calibrate the devahce."

Josh nodded, not really good on sign language himself (he knew none) so he wasn't aware of karen's mistake but still the idea sounded fine to him. "Sounds great! I hope you two find a way to work it out and get it running, but in the meantime you have work to do! That's right your job starts now! So I want you two to head out on patrol right away! And don't make too much of a job of it hehe okay? Make sure to have fun too, otherwise it's really not worth doing is it?", he nodded and held out a pair of badges all shiny and new for the two recruits.
"Now your first mission is to try to find unregistered digimon, ones not in our database living in the human world, and get them to register. Just need their name a quick scan and a promise from them, just that they will stay out of trouble. Make sure to assure them this is a good thing for them, and If they aren't to cooperative and decide to cause trouble, then I hope you guys are pretty good at fisticuffs. Well I mean you're here and I saw what you could do for yourself, don't worry you should be fine.", Josh spoke as he'd begin to lead them out, Guilix staying behind with the Karen and Elec.
"Im sure you guys will make great officers! I can't wait to see you guys out there in action and moving up in the ranks! So just make sure to stay in touch with the updates ARROW posts!", he added leading them to the front door. "I must be off now, but if you ever need to talk to me you can contact me though the digivice! I'll be happy to help! Good luck to you two and have fun!", he smiled with a wave seeming oddly proud of them, like a parent sort of before giving a wave and heading off back into the building.
[Exit and stuff cause thread was pretty over]
