That doesn't sound too good... what happened?

[urzu_two]

Was in the middle of a fight before I came here. My AS got busted pretty badly and I had to abandon it, but it looks like it arrived here in all the shifting.

You new? Haven't seen you around before.

[buster_gunner]

In the middle of a fight? That doesn't sound good. Would you count it as a good thing than?

Yes, I am. My name is Dearka Elthman. May I ask for your name?

[urzu_two]

It's a long story. And it's a mixed blessing. Can't use it fully, but at least I can use parts of it.

Melissa Mao.

Do you have a Talking Bag too!?

[Voice reply]

[urzu_two]

A talking bag? Nah. It's just the AI for my Arm Slave.

[Voice reply]

[pieceofsunshine]

Wow, that sounds really cool! But uhh... what's an AI? Can you eat a slave?

[Voice reply]

[urzu_two]

An AI stands for artificial intelligence. It's like... a specialized computer system. And no, you can't eat a slave.

[sword_dancer_e]

An intelligent system. You technology level is interesting.

((OOC: Why, you almost have a JARVIS!))

[urzu_two]

Yeah? Guess with all these worlds coming together, the tech levels gotta be a little jumbled. Always someone higher than someone else.

[sword_dancer_e]

Always.

Perhaps you could explain the purpose of this particular piece?

[urzu_two]

It's an AI unit in a currently incapacitated powered suit.

[bloodseal_soul]

Melissa? What's that thing?

[Voice reply]

[urzu_two]

This, my friend, is a third generation Armored Mobile Master-Slave System (or Arm Slave as we call them) known as the M9 Gernsback. Powered by a lightweight and high-power palladium reactor and an enhanced muscle package, this baby is almost as flexible and mobile as a real human, especially with the right operator inside.

Add in advanced vetronics, fire control systems, damage control, ECS, ECCS, and electronic warfare modules all run by an advanced artificial intelligence system and you have one sweet combat unit.

His name is Friday. Friday, say hello to Alphonse.

-Salutations, Alphonse.-

[bloodseal_soul]

Palladium? That explains it... nowhere near that amount of technology in my world, and... amazing. The military in my old world would... would... well, they'd do anything for something like that.

[Al almost sounds fearful, like he's contemplating what such a thing could do, but at the greeting, his eyes widen.]

... hello, Friday.

... you're sure he's a machine, Melissa...?

[Voice reply]

[urzu_two]

It's all in the artificial intelligence. Their primary function is to monitor the AS while we're fighting, but there's some degree of user customization--one of my subordinates gave his AI the voice of his favorite female singer--and the advanced ones can get... well, my other subordinate's AS cracks jokes. Learned them himself. Sometimes he goes off and learns information for himself. That one has all the techs puzzling over it.

[2tailedtagalong]

Hey Melissa, that's a machine of some kind right? Seems pretty intelligent too. What's it for?

[urzu_two]

It's a combat machine with an advanced AI in it. Piece of equipment I used in my own world.

[Voice reply]

[stalwart_flame]

Sounds like an interesting piece of equipment, and useful too. The only AI we had was used by Dr. Eggman for his evil robots.
