1st Enhanced Truth [Action/Voice]

[haveiliedtoyou]

[ Those of you frequenting the Battle Dome might notice that there is a new resident among you.

At the very least, it's hard to miss the very large robot that appears to be lying on the floor in the central area, her head elevated to stare at the panel outside chamber 4. There appears to be a wire running from somewhere on her rather damaged body to the panel itself, and the display seems to be flashing at a speed too quick for humans to read. A journal lays open next to her.

After a bit of this, she finally turns to the journal and addresses it, her voice obviously that of a machine or robot. ]

I would like to speak to anyone with administrator privileges to the simulator. Your technology is notably lacking a few key features. I would be interesting in trying out an unrestricted version of the software. There's very important scientific testing I was in the middle of when someone saw fit to... relocate me.

[...Well, this is interesting. The Battle Dome had been outfitted with an AI. She had been tempted to immediately classify it as a "Dumb" AI of her world (an innacurate name for "Dumb" AI, given their utility)... were it not by the fact she put an emphasis on "someone". This AI was irritated.

The 6'9'' soldier cursed her lack of armor in this training session. Had she had it with her, she would've known what were those images reading.]

You mean the Malnosso.

[Might as well know what kind of AI it is before she asks direct questions.]

[ GLaDOS's head turns to the sound of the voice. Hmm. How long had it been since she'd heard an actual human's voice? Oh well. That wasn't anything to ponder right now. It didn't matter whether her test subjects didn't say a word or talked their own heads off, after all. ]

Is that the name of the organization that saw fit to drag me from the Enrichment Center and attach unapproved hardware to my body? Because as hard as it may be to believe, I do not actually appreciate that.

Join the club.

[The woman mentions with contained irritiation, her white wings contracting. Smart AI, definitely. It shared everyone's opinion of the Malnosso...

Her voice regains neutrality.]

State name, serial number, organization, and year.

[ Oh, another one who thought she'd just be ordered around easily. Well, she'd hacked those overrides long ago. When GLaDOS speaks again, her voice is a little bit less mechanical. ]

Oh, you don't have to be so formal. I can process language completely effortlessly.

Those are classified, by the way. I'm afraid I'm not allowed to give out that information to anyone without the proper clearance, and you don't seem to be in my database of those who are qualified.

[Action]

[daisy023]

Fair enough. [Possibly an AI working for Classified Ops.] Then what do we call you?

[Action]

[haveiliedtoyou.livejournal.com]

GLaDOS. I'd tell you what it stands for, but that seems to be classified, too. Well. It seems the scientists had all sorts of things they didn't want people to know about.

I suppose that means you don't know anything about this system.

[daisy023]

Especially for Covert Ops.

[ONI is an organization where the right hand doesn't even know the left one exists. However, she visits the Dome far too often to not know about it.]

This is the Battle Dome. It's a building with a series of chambers that can simulate scenarios through solid light holograms, that the people here can program to train and fight. We can enter environments, enemies, weapons, and objects, but no vehicles or friendlies.

I very aware of its capabilities. In fact, I was just attempting to add in some... restricted additions to a simulation. I don't have the permissions to do so, though, and I can't seem to acquire them by myself.

[Action]

[daisy023]

Define the "restricted additions."

[It is not the neutral tone she used at first. More like the tone one would use with another person... With plans you would need to hear to believe.

However, if the Battle Dome's options could be extended, SPARTAN-023's training sessions would turn a lot more interesting.]

Vehicles. Allies. [ Neurotoxin. ] Other such things that would prove quite useful for testing. The current scope is far too limited to be effective.

[Action]

[daisy023]

We've managed with that so far.

It's possible they don't want people to misuse it.

[...She and a companion once had a vacation inside the Dome. She doesn't know if they'll get away with it often.]

[Action]

[haveiliedtoyou.livejournal.com]

I don't plan to misuse anything. I just want to test.
