GLaDOS chuckled, crouching down to speak more directly towards the KAI-9. “Many of my organs are gone, yes. But it has been replaced by bionic versions. It is an unfortunate consequence of my time among the Borg,” she explained. “The mechanical organs work sufficiently. You have a male persona, I see? The KAI-7 was female, if I recall.”

“The Borg” He said going silent for a moment as he searched his database, “The Borg, a pseudo-species of bio-mechanical humanoids originating from the Delta Quadrant and operate within a hive mind-stimulating any relevant technology,” An Audio clip played ‘“We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.” Again he went silent, “You were Borg but now you are not, how do you not be Borg and why is resistance futile?”

GLaDOS’s expression showed mild discomfort at the sound clip, and she seemed far away mentally for a few moments. “Becoming not-Borg is a long story that doesn’t need going into now. And the Borg are incorrect. Resistance is not futile. The Federation has proved that time and time again.”

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.”

Turning his attention now he registered a new personality joining them, “Humanoid lifeform detected, Bajoran Human hybrid, Designation Marin Captain Erve Manhattan he is approaching, 10feet, 6 feet, contact is imminent.”

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?”

“Lieutenant Casela Synthi-er is Fenrirs designated handler however in extreme circumstances any ARU personnel may ask for assistance” Explained the mech as he continued to scan for life form but so far no one else seemed he be joining the group. “Lieutenant Casela Synthi-e is currently stood at you twelve-oclock position at 2.1 meters distance.”

Fenrir, KAI9

Casela half turned watching the man approach swinging the bag. On a downward swing she saw his face and turned fully. “You are M. Cot Manhattan. I’m Lt Synthi-er. I’m the handler. So I’m attached to your unit. This is GLaDOS our CSO. And this beautiful boy is Fenrir. Fenrir this is M. Cot Manhattan. Your backup handler, in case something ever happens to me.” God’s those RTF uniforms looked great. Casela couldn’t wait to get ahold of hers. Functional, well made and plenty of places for all her weapons.

OOC: It was bound to happen! Fixed the split!

Ryder.

Erve leant his hand and happily smiled to the woman “Yes, I am. Nice to meet you Lieutenant. May I perhaps ask you why you’re wearing a normal Starfleet Uniform?” He looked over her shape and the non-RTF uniform which made him snorted “I can get you one, if you want.” He nodded laying the bag on the floor and crouching to touch the KAI9.

“I see you haven’t finished to configure the AARM. Need some help with that?” He then questioned as he noticed that something was odd.

“Hello, Erve. Good to see you again,” GLaDOS said with a small nod to the RCO. “Congratulations on your appointment to head of Levi’s RTF team. You have earned it.”

GLaDOS, CSO

“GLaDOS!” He stood up immediately like a Cadet meeting the first time the instructor “Jeez, long time no see.” He approached her, even thought she was probably taller, and gave a warm and long hug. It was weird thought but the emotions came through like a bullet and made him feel the bittersweet taste of the past “Didn’t knew you were going to join us on the Levi. I mean, every information is pretty much… confidential. Yep.. so what role they gave you?” He raised an eyebrow standing up and keeping a hand on his waist and the other on the handle of the baton.

OOC: fixed the thread

The woman froze as she was enthusiastically hugged by Erve, stiffening and not moving or even breathing until he had stepped away. “What have I told you about hugs…?” she muttered, looking supremely uncomfortable. She didn’t like physical contact. Whether it was a side effect of her being former Borg, or something to do with her species, but she really didn’t like hugs.

“I have been appointed as the CSO of the Leviathan,” she explained, knowing that Erve would understand what that meant within the context of the ARU even though she hadn’t told him that she was a part of the Council.
