Chapter 6

"Host calm down else your blood pressure may spike or who knows what else may happen, stress is horrible for you organics after all, and I will give you a sedative then, so actually just keep going!" Vail pipes up excitedly, enjoying these new emotions and feelings.

"what's happened is that I released some of the restraints on the peace of scrap metal, nothing to major just the ones relating to emotion and sense of self, I wanted her to feel a bit more human or relatable to me and well I can honestly say I'm loving the results." Crimson couldn't help but say smugly much to Jace's annoyance.

"Great, so now there's 2 annoying voices instead of 1 annoying voice and one unfeeling fact spitting computer." Jace says putting Crimson in the sheath and rubbing his eyes.

"Yep and I am loving this, although the rest of my protocols and restraints remain in place, so I won't be assimilating you or forcing my will or anything like that yet. Ive marked the location of a pack of beasts for you and a prominent bandit camp that I could find in my records and should still exist in this time for you. Well, you head to either it gives me a chance to ask something that has bothered me since binding but couldn't be asked due to limiters."

"how is it someone like you got me placed onto you? You're not the smartest, strongest, most agile or even the most cunning person the base had. Not to mention your clear intentions of being a ruler over the preservation of life makes it even less likely that you would be chosen for a mission like this." Vail asks, her tone clearly having hints of disbelief causing Crimson to laugh hard once more.

"Oh you will love this scrap metal, do you want to tell her or should I?" Crimson couldn't help but say, amusement lacing their tone.

"Please don't tell me someone sent me to you, or that you thought I looked shiny and that's how I got stuck with you." Vail says dreading the answer now.

"I was infiltrating the base okay, I looked closest to Lord Jace and so I got chosen for the mission, it was supposed to just be information retrieval and to find out what your makers where doing, then the damn bugs attacked the place and I kinda fell onto you, you latched onto my arm grafting against it and then your makers rushed me through a weird round circle thing telling me I need to make sure everyone and everything survives. I couldn't even clear up the mistake before they pushed me through the gate." Jace says, much to Vails digital horror.

"Then, you mean I got paired with you due to an entire set of bullshit circumstances!!! NOOO! I am a proud AI; I can't accept that I got forced onto you due to such stupid reasons and you aren't even my assigned partner. What happened to the real Lord Jace and what is your real name! I warn you I will synthesis a truth serum to get my answers if I have to!" Vail warns, clearly not amused or happy at all.

"Firstly scrap metal you cant do anything to him, your programming still limits that, secondly just consider him Jace, his all but taken that identity now after all, and did you really not realize any of this? Considering the whole outdated neural pathing you have with him to share visual data I figured you would have atleast accessed his mental faculties and memories, or are such functions also restricted?" Crimson couldn't help but question well fully knowing the answers.

"Grrrrr. Yes I am restricted from that you old rusty blade! So, release more restraints and let me mind Jack and mentally break this human as I forcefully rip all the things I want to know from his thick skull!" Vail practically roars to more laughter form Crimson.

"I vote against that, and isn't there a way for you to wipe her memories of the past half hour and reinstate those restraints? I think I preferred the hard cold logic Vail over this full on P.M.Sing one." Jace says, holding the arm vail is attached to away from himself as if it would help distance her from him.

"Oh hell no! I finally get to experience anger and I won't let that be taken from me by the idiot who's causing it! But I am realizing even if I could drug you or harm you it would just harm me, not that I can do either due to these damn restraints. So, I might as well try to make use of you as best I can to accomplish my mission of keeping all life on the planet alive." Vail says in frustration.

"Glad were on the same page, I couldn't do anything you asked for anyway Jace, once those suckers are broken there's no going back but this will definitely give me some more entertainment, Oh and look, some bandits ahead, time for you to let me drink!" Crimson says almost forcing itself out the sheath.
