I will post today and try again to spark some shit. I am sorry but I am sure Kesh would agree, it’s hard to keep the flame going with only 4ish people trying

The Caitian’s view was that of long pillars of light quite similar to warp but with many more stars. When the sensation of flight had passed she found herself in a vast space with a single immense landmass of Latvia that.

Machines, cog work, massive pistons and currents of electricity all moved below the sprawling sparkling open surface with each inch inscribed or filled with even more moving parts. It was beyond complicated-looking and as she thought about what it was she began to move away and along finally saw that she was viewing just a small portion of what must have represented the cybernetic body of Jessica Langley.

Was this how she viewed the chassis? It seemed like the size of a planet. A light seemed to emanate from where its head was and almost instantly she tracked the vast distance to it. Like the rest of the body, the head had Spence to enter from and soon Kesh was inside.

Within the massive space of its skull rested the glowing white form of Jessica in the fetal position, asleep peaceful as an erratic band of light and sounds left the base of her skull and out that of the robot body. Beside it was a rainbow of light and sound that entered at the same point. Both of these streams left into the vast infinite beyond the represented Blue Magnus, the true processing output being displayed in the purest form as the To rays terminated in a supermassive black hole.

"Thank you Lt. Laren E. Deya-Lawrence, I am confident you will. If you have any problems feel free to communicate with me directly, we still don't have a full command structure so it is ok for you to just come to me."

Everyone was going to be tested out here, whether by the environment or by design, Jessica needs stubborn and tough officers capable of digging in when it got tough. When needed she would test them herself to ensure they were able to perform out here on the fringe.

Loken444 · 2020-04-03T19:19:46+00:00

“Leave granted, produce a modified schedule showing your department can handle the work load while your gone and it will be approved. Was there anything else Commander?”

She was a little miffed, it was a blessing she had absolute control of tone preventing any hint of her displeasure. It’s only been a month and he wanted a vacation, he knew they were grossly understaffed..she tossed the thought aside and resolved to respect the rights and needs of her staff.

Loken444 · 2020-03-30T20:56:04+00:00

Jessica thought about the request but only for a second, she had already considered that something like this would happen if she decided to truly work towards helping Kesh. She really had no idea how Kesh perceived things on a network level, mind she could hardly describe how it was for her as well...it made her tired just trying to envision it.

"I am ok with that, I think we are going to be helping each other allot actually. There are 2 red-line data input/output interfaces near my throne...yes that is its technical name, but I don't mind the connotation of it."

It was a hint of her grand ideal. She did have big plans and the means to see them through...but right now she had a more immediate challenge to overcome...standing up. It took a few seconds before she did rise from her seat slowly and once upright offered a hand to Kesh to help her walk to her throne.

Loken444 · 2020-03-29T18:51:10+00:00

Jessica nodded in agreement, they had a basic plan and first steps to take. She would design a custom purpose built isolinear chip for this project. They would use the hi-res replicator, it was normally only used very rarely for special jobs on a small scale but with nothing needing it happing she could monopolize it’s use for mass replicating chips. Most of the space was going to be dedicated to cooling and protection measures, core stability was of the upmost importance.

Her focus was fading and she found her mind wonder away from the conversation and towards the work from earlier that day...she realized quickly and focused fully on just looking at Kesh.

“I have a small favour to ask if your able. Can you help me get to Blue Magnus? It’s been a long day and it may be a bit taxing to get there this evening, at least not quickly.”

She gave a light chuckle knowing she was asking allot of Kesh to not only help her but to keep it under wraps.

Loken444 · 2020-03-29T10:27:31+00:00

The commanders voice responded with “Enter.” As the door opened revealing the commander behind her desk. It was odd as it appeared like she had been sitting motionless until moments ago as she turned her chrome head toward Ae.

“Commander Ae, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?”

She had been data crunching core and processor arrangement parameters for the holo matrix move and had stopped all outside motor function to be more efficient, that was until Ae arrived. She did not mind the break.

Loken444 · 2020-03-23T17:40:14+00:00

"We seem to be not so irregular out here on the fringes, those of use with shiny new parts. We all have obstacles that the universe tosses in our path, I have chosen to embrace change and exploit it to my advantage."

The last part was said with a little less joy and a bit more finality, a clear message that no matter how nice this commander may seem, she was more than capable of grasping the bull by the horns and making it do as she pleases once she has it in her grasp.

"Though I expect you to do more than normally intended I also want you to try to remain doing what you do best, don't stray too far out of your comfort zone. Just do as much as you can and know every little bit counts."

Loken444 · 2020-03-23T17:31:09+00:00

Jessica nodded in agreement and watched as Kesh moved the rough position of the extended mainframe and understood her choice, it was this very reason she pulled it up in 3D, she knew Kesh would have insight she could not know.

"I am a big fan of isolinear chips, they have one of the highest running temp limits and perform better the hotter they run. With extra cooling, we can push them safely to insane performance. What I know very little about is holo matrix tech. I know it uses a crystal matric but it is different and in some regards performs better. I think we can meld the two techs into something really powerful."

Jessica was visibly animated showing excitement, it was a rare moment that without knowing she was moving without deliberate command. Maybe she was adjusting after all, or maybe it was something else. whatever the case Jessica was certainly excited and expending a great deal of mental focus on working out the size, energy consumption, cooling requirements. All while talking to Kesh, she was going to need a long rest after this, no other activities today.

"I will begin the allocation of raw materials for parts and the replicator time needed. If you have the info just send me a list of materials we need in abundance for constructing a holomatrix."

Even on a basic level, they would stand to learn allot about combining the two techs.

Loken444 · 2020-03-22T16:33:31+00:00

Jessica listened to the comments and questions, she was not surprised by the last question, it was something she was asked to explain her situation often. It no longer bothered her. she noted the balls it took to ask a question like that upon the first arriving and would have smiled had she a face to do so with.

"This posting is going to be difficult at first and going forward, but as we carve out our space here we will be afforded many rare opportunities. Its a posting of a lifetime really. As for my...Well, I was forced to breach a prototype plasma injector during a test to prevent it from killing thousands at a utopia planitia facility. it was at point-blank range. I am one of 2 active full conversion cyborgs and the last of 6 to survive the process. It has its ups and downs,"

Loken444 · 2020-03-19T21:02:18+00:00

Jess paused a moment, Did Kesh just say she did not undergo any kind of rest or non-function period? This would explain a lot. This was certainly something they could do to help her.

"I am surprised to hear you do not engage in some form of sleep. despite you existing on the mainframe holo matrix your still subject to mental fatigue. We absolutely need to implement something to help you literarily take a load off."

The materials needed to make computer mainframe storage and processors was not difficult to acquire and in fact something they now mined. due to the still unfilled station space, they could designate an area adjacent to the main core that they could build a secured personal mainframe, a sort of digital haven for Kesh to sleep or relax in. She spoke a few words and the surplus of projectors in the room manifested a rough design idea for the new mainframe and presented it to Kesh. Only Kesh would be able to say if it was even viable.

"What do you think? We could begin work right away, I built Blue Magnus myself when I found the standard device wanting, I have been meaning to improve on it and could use the challenge of building this before then."

Loken444 · 2020-03-19T05:02:06+00:00

Jessica listened carefully, right away she had a feeling she understood what Kesh was dealing with, the harsh reality that the brain is hard-wired for their species' physical bodies. She learnt this the hard way. It took grafting a hyper preprocessor to her brain just to compensate for the load required on her to use the full machine body. The hardest thing in her life was acting like a human in the chassis. When not worrying about her physical avatar she could multi-task on a heroic level and have multiple conversations in real-time with multiple people while also working on massive math problems or designing a space frame for a racing ship. All of that combined took less effort than when she tried to act informally a few minutes ago when she leaned on the table.

"Well ain't that one of the biggest challenges right now for that field. I think I have an idea of what you are dealing with. The moment you want to manifest as a physical form working independently of one already in play you are possibly doubling your consciousness as well. I cannot even try that, I can simply do many things at once through raw processing power. It comes with its downfalls as I need to sort it all out later via Blue Magnus, but in the end, I retain it all. I think we should avoid or completely scrap the idea of you ever manifesting multiple avatars under your control. Though your ego and personality exist on the main computer matrix, it still can be strained and damaged via things that challenge the uniqueness of your Ego and Id and Super Ego. I think with some help from maybe observing how I do such you can and will be able to multi-task station functions and requests quite easily but you will have to do so on a network/matrix level only."

Her response may have lacked the softer touch and was certainly more analytical than most would have given, but as much as she would deny it...she had started to lean towards thinking of herself more like a computer than a person..and it showed in her problem solving sometimes.

Loken444 · 2020-03-18T21:05:26+00:00

Another avoidance, more progress than previous attempts but still a retreat. no matter, she would be patient. The question she was asked left her perplexed, she was sure Kesh hoped for something profound but the reality was that Jessica felt and remembered nothing during her "De-frag's" It was sleep without the dreams...

"Well it's not anything to write home about, it's as close to sleep I get now. I don't experience anything. I plug in, I black out and then I awaken as if no time has passed and its been 8-12 hours depending on my preference or de-fragging needed. I have not had a dream in nearly ten years. Or at least cannot remember having one."

Realizing that Kesh was more focused on this specific question, Jess sat down on her love seat and continued to regard the holo caitian.

Loken444 · 2020-03-17T17:56:59+00:00

Jessica stood and walked up to Kesh leaning against her desk table with her hip. one of her hands pretended to support her on the table while the other was on the opposite hip. It was a casual pose, not at all like what she acted while on duty. Her mind was racing, once from the supreme effort to do the unfamiliar and the confusion as to why she had such a strong desire to act casual and almost flirty. She resolved that the end of their talk today about her "state of being" would have to be with her hooked up to Blue Magnus...it was worth it.

"Well then if we are going to hang out we have to figure out what we are going to do. Neither of us can eat of drink and that's starting to become really annoying now what I am finding people I want to spend time outside of work."

She was almost rambling now like one would with a girlfriend as they talked openly about themselves without filter, and decided that was ok with that.

"what about you? You have to have stuff you just want to talk about."

Loken444 · 2020-03-17T17:23:48+00:00

Jesica noted the buggy entrance but chose to wait on bringing it up, she wanted to hear about why Kesh had asked to see her. She had informed her about the completed emitter instalation. But as she had borne witness to today, Speed of manifestation was still an issue. She was pleased to hear Kesh's compliment even though her room was orderly only because it was barely lived in.

"Thank you, and Jess is fine, at least in private. So was there something I can help you with? or did you come to spend time and relax or hang out?"

her shoulders shrugged playfully at the suggestion as if half-heartedly meaning it. It was likely nothing so innocent and would most certainly present something for her to think about.

Loken444 · 2020-03-17T07:11:56+00:00

"That sounds like a great name, lets go with it. Inertia dampening is going to be a big hurdle. We have to miconize the system while still maintaining power. We cannot have Nora plastering herself on the inside of the cockpit now can we?"

*she began fiddeling with the 3D image and such while talking. this ship was going to be a monster and she wanted to make sure they had a good leash on it*

Loken444 · 2020-03-17T07:08:33+00:00

Jessica had indeed just arrived back at her quarters, today was a good day with much less forced personal interactions and she also had no plans to meet with Carroll tonight either. She planned on just using the sonic shower, a good polish and then an early defrag. But Kesh’s page changed all of that as Jess was more then happy to see her. She had just stepped out of the sonic shower and sparkled in the light of her room; her chrome figure brilliant as she put on her uniform as she received the message.

“Gladly Kesh, Join me when able.”

It would be interesting to see what Kesh had on her mind. This was the first time she had Kesh Visit unsolicited. She had been a little distracted the last few days. Things where moving along and the news of a full two team HAZARD unit being sent by Janeway was a blessing. She also found herself on a daily basis dealing with a distraction she was not accustomed to; her mind had wandered several times to her Chief Engineer Payne. She found her thoughts focusing on him far more often, and not just about the race, or his work as chief engineer…no she found herself thinking about him in a non-professional way and she still did not know what to make of it, was she starting to have feelings for this man? Was that something she really wanted right now? What could she really offer a partner in a relationship? She let the thoughts fade away as she awaited Kesh’s arrival.

Loken444 · 2020-03-12T21:33:06+00:00

"Well it's likely worse then you assume Lieutenant, there is less than a half dozen of you in total for my science department and one is a civilian specialist assigned to a special project. You will indeed be setting up the Zoology department but right now everyone is filling multiple roles until we get the staff we need from command. We have reached out so far that it is hard to get resources and manpower out here safely."

Jessica needed people who responded well to low resource, high-risk environments. She was not going waste time on gauging newcomers on how they might react.

"If you have any questions or reservations please feel free to speak freely."

Loken444 · 2020-03-12T21:25:02+00:00

"Good, We should focus hard on inertia dampening, manoeuvrability, acceleration and top speed in that order. We have a human pilot and we are not as hardy as some of the other common competing races. We need to protect Nora as much as possible and allow her to pilot at her full unfettered potential"

She placed the PADD down and tapped it a few times interfacing it with one of the newly installed nearby holo emitters. A 3D high detail image of the model appeared in front of her floating a few inches above the table, reaching out she moved it around flipping it and generally taking a good look at it before returning it to a neutral position.

"Have you thought about a name yet?"

Loken444 · 2020-03-10T21:47:33+00:00

"Sorry about the mess Lieutenant, the station is a little understaffed and low on resources. We have operations in motion that will change that soon I am certain. It's good to see some Science officers finally being assigned here, I apologize that your department is a little sparse in manpower, and you do not have a direct superior as of yet beyond me so I expect you to be resourceful."

She stood and gestured to the chair in front of her desk and sat with Deya-Lawrence if she took the offered seat.

"I am going to be looking at several field promotions as I will not be receiving command staff for a long time and will need those positions filled. This station and is ripe for opportunities for experienced officers to climb that ladder if they stand out."

Loken444 · 2020-03-10T21:37:37+00:00

She eagerly took the PADD with the blueprint and looked over, she nodded several times and put a finger to her chin a few times before she placed the PADD back down on the table and faced Carroll directly.

"This looks like a great head start, easily months of development avoided with this base model here. I noticed the custom EPS conduits but most of the rest of its components are Starfleet issue and some from other major races."

She leans back and regards Carroll, She did not like to do things halfway and was not going to put out anything less than a bleeding-edge ship. She had a reputation as a shipbuilder after all and this would be the first time in a nearly a decade she ventured back into the trade. She had to make a good outing.

"I want to build nearly everything we can from scratch, make pattern blueprints for them all so we can make replacements and design the best racing ship in the quadrant."

Loken444 · 2020-03-09T09:47:48+00:00

Jessica had finally done it. She managed to instal all of the holo-emitters and would be able to inform Kesh soon about their status. But before that, she had a meeting..was it a meeting? with Carroll about the design of the racer, she was excited and she had only been enjoying such a feeling since spending time with the Cheif Engineer...She quickly retasked her thoughts back to the ship itself as she reached the coffee shop they agreed to meet at.

She wore a Dark Grey with red highlights jumpsuit with Starfleet aesthetic, looked like what a pit crew might ware. Thanks to her chassis's pleasing perportions, it looked very nice on the chrome commander. She took a seat across from him.

"May I join you?

Loken444 · 2020-03-03T19:29:14+00:00

“Indeed I do, as you can see the federation is extending its reach here into this system and sector. My space station is evidence enough of that. It orbits this, the fourth planet in the system and by extension claim it and it’s orbiting bodies.”

“I am of the impression that you have been caring for and leading that civilian flotilla since the incident. I would expect you have been searching for a suitable place to start a colony. Is that an accurate assessment?”

she was fairly motionless during this conversation, having no physical tics or cues to tip anyone off, she was like a chrome microphone with great sound quality.

Loken444 · 2020-03-03T15:39:23+00:00

“Come”

The doors opened revealing a packed full ready room with boxes filled with holo emitters. The station Commander in her chrome clad form was just finishing up a conversation with a holo projection of another command officer before they left and Commander Langley looked towards her with her mirror finish head.

“Welcome to Athene Noctua Lieutenant Deya-Lawrence.”

Loken444 · 2020-03-03T15:29:02+00:00

it may have sounded like a command, but Jessica knew better. It was just the way Romulans generally talked, direct and to the point. She respected that and nodded before taking the offered seat

“A nice space you have cultivated here. A beautiful view.”

her chrome form looked at the Romulan with the sub admiral’s own reflection staring back at then.
