Casela allowed Fenrir to show off as they walked. They walked very last deck they could get access to. “Okay Fenrir. Some times we may send you alone to retrieve an item and you have to get back to us. We won’t be able to help you. Tell me, from where we are, what is the fastest route, avoiding as many security personnel as possible, to get back to the Leviathan and display the route for me.”

Fenrir would likely detect the CSO before Synthi-er would. There were many notable details about the woman, including her height at a staggering seven feet, but the most notable detail was that she possessed a plethora of Borg implants, and an electromagnetic sensor sweep would reveal that a large portion of her torso and brain had been replaced by metal and wires in what was an odd hybrid of biological and mechanical thought. She was an AI too, of a sort.

As Casela was instructing Fenrir on his next instructions, the woman known as GLaDOS stepped out of the restricted access door that had stopped the pair’s journey deeper into the Starbase. The whirring of mechanical servos could be heard, sounding almost like a camera zooming in, as her attention turned to first the KAI9, then to it’s handler. “Ah, I see the new KAI-9 is operational. Are you two testing their capabilities?”

Her voice, similar to that of Fenrir’s, was totally synthetic, and had an odd cadence to it that wasn’t dissimilar to the video game character from which GLaDOS had gotten her name. She spoke not just to Casela, but glancing back and forth between the two with an expression that made it clear that she respected the KAI-9 as an intelligent AI with personhood. “And that would make you Casela Synthi-er, I expect? Welcome to the Longhouse. And to the Leviathan.”

Lt. Cmdr. GLaDOS, CSO

“And you must be GLaDOS. Thank you for the welcome. Yes, and this is Fenrir.” Casela waited for Fenrir to speak for himself and see how is personality will work out.
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS/KAI9 Handler

Walking by, Erve was wearing his suit already. The classy black and dark green suit that for months kept him warm and proud of the RTF branch. There, nearby the boarding dock port was this little group of people and he have noticed that no one onboard the starbase was somewhat… normal. A borg with a betazoid? It is something new
“A KAI9 AARM… something is telling me that those are from the crew.” He said noticing the mechanized unit “Well, gotta go see it.”

Approaching the group Erve kept handling his bag, swinging up and down almost like it had not weight. He did not had firing weapons but just a self-defense Mk.7 Baton furnished with the powerful electric tip. It was a new toy of the RTF armory and none of the RDF had any chance to get it first “Hey there!” He waved his hand “Mr. Manhattan, RCO of the Leviathan. I saw this beautiful boy,” he reffered to the KAI9 “Do you perhaps know who’s the handler?”
