I8: There's a party in my toolbox and Science is invited!

The holographic projection gave ASHLIE a puzzled look.

"You use electrical impulses to control your extremities and receive input from them to be processed in a central core. The system is different but the principle appears to be the same to me."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 6:55 pm

"Are you sayin' you think I should be able to run everything with just my mind alone?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 2:01 am

"No. I am merely expressing my confusion at the difficulty you seem to have adapting to a similar system. Your suit just reacts to electrical impulses too if you break the system down to it's basics."

"It takes a child about a year to learn how to walk. Baby steps ASHLIE, our squishy human brains need time to learn."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:06 pm

"You are expecting to take a year until you can walk in your suit?"

by **Veronica Freud** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:08 pm

"Nooooo." The suit's head shook slightly, which was an improvement! "I'm just saying it will take a little time for me to get the hang of everything. My brain knows I'm four inches tall and weigh like a pound. Being almost six feet tall and weighing a quarter of a ton will be a bit different."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:35 pm

"I repeat. How odd. Specializing on your shell seems like it would come with no advantage."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 1:15 pm

"Well, I might just be making conservative estimates so that I don't get too frustrated if things go slower than I want. And I could be thrilled if things go faster." Ronnie said.

"I... what do you mean by no advantage? Can you rephrase that?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 2:47 pm

"Well, what advantage do you gain from specializing on one system. There is no downside to being compatible with multiple interfaces."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:32 pm

"You mean, possibly controlling multiple drones?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:34 pm

"Or different autonomous systems. Like you are attempting to."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:41 pm

"Um, well... I guess human brains aren't as quick to adapt as AI's." Ronnie said modestly. "Switching suddenly would make things confusing, I think. A standard platform that can be modified and adapted to suit various needs would be easier because the mind wouldn't have to relearn the fundamentals, just the new hardware and ordinance."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:51 pm

"Yet you do not adapt your hardware. Present company excluded."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:26 pm

"Not right now. I'll adapt it later. I can't launch this thing with all guns blazing."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:29 pm

"No but you are working on it. And I understand you are the exception."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:45 pm

"That's not true. There are many people who feel the same way. They call themselves transhumanists."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:52 pm

"I did not say you are the only exception."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:29 pm

"Well, such modifications would be extremely difficult and dangerous to attempt on someone as small as myself. So this is the next-best thing." Ronnie said.

"As for other people, well... flesh has it's benefits."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:38 pm

"It is fragile and self-repair extremely risky and it's self-healing capacities do not seem to outweigh those drawbacks according to my evaluation."

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:44 pm

"There are other benefits. I'll, um, tell you when you're older."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:52 pm

"How much older?"

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:56 pm

"I can't say. Come ask me about it when you fall in love for the first time."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:02 pm

"You have ceased making sense." the robot points out.

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:20 pm

"Yeah, we organics are cryptic like that." Ronnie chuckled. "And maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. I've never been synthetic. I just know that my skin feels very nice."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:47 pm

"Is nice feeling skin a desirable characteristic?" it asks, still confused.

by **Veronica Freud** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 8:57 pm

"Oh yes. Especially for a lady."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 9:01 pm

"Are you inferring things from the chosen shape of my chassis? It has happened before."

by **Veronica Freud** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:17 pm

"Well it is feminine is appearance, as is your name." Ronnie said. "Would you prefer I call you something more gender neutral?"

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 2:07 am

"I fail to see the difference."
