Glad to see Ceci's REcovering......mentally ish...and she got a good gun course Tedee's gonan see they got a new APC and all that and be really really......upset
I would have to agree about the armor not fitting (since now its full of holes, dents, and slick with previous owners blood), but there might be some value to dressing up as rats, and drawing less attention.
No armor is still A-1 however the unit logo needs to be changed, possibly one of pink and blue hands tearing a douchebag apart might be appropriate from here on in.
killing vermin can be messy? i'm worried that dolly's new body lacks a morality framework.
(i know she hates gutters, but most people in her position would be a little shaken)
Gutters are the scum of the universe. They loot, rape, pillage, murder, they're slavers, organ harvesters, you name it, if it's too dirty for even organized crime, they do it.
Dolly single-handedly fought off the gutters that killed Lynn's father, remember.
Aw c'mon give us a break, we know that the APC is gonna stay hidden right here until Ceci goes in business hunting gutters for fun and profit. But I still like the Logo of a pink and a blue hand tearing a douchebag in half.
Remember when the one gutter was going to immolate the nurse lady from the feet up while she radioed New Troy for help? Not the sort of person to be feeling sorry for.
*Bar-B-Ques Beef and throws the hot coals at Rash. Hey Dummy she wants to spend her life exploring the wastes to make a difference, use one well armed and armored APC as a mobile Command Post pick up expenses by cashing in bounties on gutters. Clean up the world one piece of scum at a time and make the settlers safer. Got a problem with that?
*breaks the glass and pulls out the Trout-nunchucks and whappity wap whaps Dragonrider* Yes as a matter o fact I do. Ceci is a rare and special soul and living that kind of life would....slowly destroy that beautiful soul of her's on small piece at a time....sure she would be helping ...but killing people changes you no matter what justification...and after enough of it you lose yourself
Ceci might want to do the more regular thing, y'know .. marriage, children and a nice little house.
Maybe with a nice little garden in the back, with some fruit trees and a swing.
Except it's not at all normal for an android in a society where birthrates are abysmally low. All the more reason to do it though.
Interestingly, I don't think CeCi will actually end up as a Mommy, but rather as a guardian like her "mommy".
No, TeeDee will end up as a the Mommy, because secretly, she loves Ada, and there's nothing that would make Ada happier than if TeeDee became a mommy. And TeeDee will do anything to make Ada happy.
But right now, CeCi wants to be the Mommy, and TeeDee wants to be the Badass, while Ada wants to be (with) a Human.
Offcourse, all of that is in the future.
But It'll happen, you mark my words! :)
And TeeDee will complain about it, she will, but she'll be an excellent mommy, and she will make Ada a very happy android.
And CeCi will approve of it, and realize that her combat frame will make for an excellent Guardian base, and be a Guadian for Ada and TeeDee.
Ada would make a far better mother than Teedee ever would, what with actually liking humans and enjoying having biological components and so on. Teedee's reaction to being asked if she'd be a "mommy" would be uproarious laughter followed, possibly, by gunfire.
Only a lunatic/parent truly desperate for time away from the kid (but I repeat myself) would ever put a child in Teedee's keeping, even temporarily. They would get home from dinner and a movie to find she'd put the kid's lower body into a garbage bag for sanitation purposes and then duct-taped the kid to a wall. Facing the TV, of course. And then turned on some violent gore-fest slasher flick. Knowing children, this would probably be THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED in the kid's opinion, but still...
*Grabs trout chucks wraps in bacon and clay bakes by fire and smacks Rash upside his little pointy head* Kind of hard to ascribe the emotions you mention to a Black Angel,she could make Teedee look like a rank amateur without breathing hard.
*uses a nearby alligator and swinging it byt he tail whipcracks Dragonrider's Concave butt. Yeah but you have to remember. Ceci's personality is TOTALLY different than that Black angel Stuff soooo I would say Rash wins this fight *nod nod*
Ah, but, in a story, giving the baby to person who actually wants a baby, would make for a very boring story.
There's a much more interesting story to be told if you give it to the person who don't want it.
As for wether or not TeeDee could become a fitting parent ? Heck, mother bears do exist, and if a predator animal can be a good mommy, then so can TeeDee. And I don't think TeeDee's personality is so far removed from being a caring mother as many people seem to think. It's just that her version of caring is a bit different from everyone elses, but it would be no less sincere. Kinda like how Marvel made Wolverine a grumpy father figure for some teenage girls - He's really not the best father fugure, sure, but he still manages to be one.
Besides - Story wise : Imagine a dark back alley where the child is about to be molested, who would you rather be the mommy ? The one who can utterly eradicate any threat to the child, or the one that hides in a corner, whimpering ?
And I think we all know which one TeeDee would be.
Heh, having a hard time letting go of this idea .. it has potential !
People seem to think it would be a human child though. But nooo ... after their last body upgrade, Ada now has an "android factory" that will activate if she meets an android / human that loves her enough to trigger it's reproductive subroutine. It would result in a self improving android child of random gender, with a personality seed based on the two parents, in this case Ada and TeeDee.
So it would most likely be both pro-human *and* pro-android. But at the same time, both Ada and Teedee have an individuality/stubbornness streak a mile wide, so the child would definately be that as well.
Offcourse, hearing the words "I'm pregnant" would set TeeDee off on a major rant about how androids can't be pregnant, only to be proven wrong. And no way in hell, would she allow *anyone* to abort the unborn android child, it is *her* child, after all !!
Offcourse, much lulz occur as Ada & TeeDee have to learn how to handle a child, something neither of them have really prepared for. Not to mention a child with that kind of personality is bound to make trouble for them as it grows up.
And if the child should ever manage to get itself kidnapped like like Lynn Taylor did - Everybody better watch out for TeeDee.
Offcourse, the child would, literally, be a poster child for androids, android rights, android reproduction, so it would be a target for political causes.
Um Okay... Can I ask where the raw materials would come from .. Synth brains have a very complext sturucture as well as "factory" parts. Even putting a "nano factory" doesnt change the fact that most andriods are not designed with the idea of assembling .. carrying and birthing anything.. those that have female reproductive organs the equipment stops at the cervix. they do not have a womb or ovarys. hormones are manufactured and dispensed by chemical glands but thats only to maintain the skin. everything is precision designed. and a pregnacy would litterally wreak havok. now some andriods have been used as "sorrogates: but its tottally silly. as the same equipment would be better off in a medical ward or the Ovarium. So really there is no reason for a andriod to even think of having a child .. humnan or andriod.. if they want a friend they just ask for one. or if they have enough creds they can just have a new andriod commssioned. these new andriods are manufactured exaactly the same way as any other andriod. and generally it is considered odd if not outright offensive to create a Child or Teen andriod.
No, I don't think Aeneas spends much time dealing in military surplus.
Cent-Comm, on the other hand, could account for every nut, bolt and transistor!
And I'm pretty sure that New Sparta's AI (can't remember his name) keeps strict tabs on his war toys.
I dunno that seems to pretty much be a tank. So it would probably match the description of both weapon and armor. They'd probably take very good care of it.
[Yay!]
Of course, you could always try to get one for her :D
Might need a bit of modification for that, but that's what mechanics are for ! :D
Besides, one does not simply walk into New Rome !
Drive in style, I say. :)
CeCi gained +1 happiness.
(i know she hates gutters, but most people in her position would be a little shaken)
Dolly single-handedly fought off the gutters that killed Lynn's father, remember.
thats correct.. ( sorry I havent replyed to many but most of them I cant reply to :D )
Ceci would never go into THAT business
Tedee and marcus.....Hell yes Ceci No
and Tedee would kill *and has* centcomm if she pissed her off so whats your point?
play nice :P
Maybe with a nice little garden in the back, with some fruit trees and a swing.
Except it's not at all normal for an android in a society where birthrates are abysmally low. All the more reason to do it though.
tl:dr; - CeCi wants to be a Mommy.

Worst case scenario The kid turns into a Mass murdingign sciociopath......
Best case tedee produces the first Member of the Spartan 5 series

Heck if I know, if I knew I'd be out there building androids in real life.
[You'd think the AIs would probably have better inventory control.]

Did you ever get in the tank in 007 for nintendo 64? That was the first time I went on a video game killing spree! Will they do the same?! :D!
