While Emily tapped away Jax moved to the kitchen and brought them three cups of tea, not knowing if Cat did or didn't have the ability to drink, he placed them down and looked over Emily's shoulder while she continued to look through the rest of the code, then frowned as he got the answer "If her programming hasn't been properly installed, i suppose that explains the condition of those ports, he sipped the tea and looked at the screen then at Cat.
Cat looked somewhat uncomefortable while Emily probed her code.
"mmmmh... why build an android with no pourpase other than to be... human" he leaned towards the laptop "is there some sort of... uhh" he thought for a moment "GPS or a visual memory, if she allows us to look at it, maybe we can tell where she is from" he looked at Cat and frowned slightly "i'm sorry, but do you remember anything about where you came from"
Cat looked toward Jax and shook her head "i recall darkness... and..." her eye visably twitched as she let out a very human "AaAahh" holding her head with both hands the data on Emily's screen would spike, a flood of complex almost otherworldly corupt code being removed, Cat slowly lowred her hands "Fire..." she spoke softly "lots... of fire...screams" she squeezed her eyes shut.
"Hey, hey its okay, come on, its alright, there's no fire here now, whatever that is.." he sat on the arm of Cat's chair and gently pet her shoulder "its gone, But if you recall any symbols... or anything that might help us.. uhh... Fix you, then point us in the right direction and we will do anything" he thought for a moment.
Cat looked at Emily, her device then at Jax who was now very close "Fix... help?" her hand moved to the side of the chair and held up the chit before holding it out to them both "Help, please?"
Shooting Stars - Ghosts, Part One
Re: Shooting Stars - Ghosts, Part One
Emily listened to Cats words before she showed what could of been pain. Emily gently tugged the wired from her neck once she saw the spike in activity. Emily rubbed her head and sighed "We may have to use the diganostics lab at the uni Jax" she said and sighed "We could take her there tomorrow night, I can log some study hours no one will know the difference" Emily said and smiled "This amount of data is more than I can handle" Emily said and patted Cat on the shoulder "Dont worry purple, we'll fix you up" Emily said before she packed up her laptop and gear into her bag "I'll let you know tomorrow when i booked the lab then we can get a better picture of whats going on" Emily said and smiled before she left them to it.

Space travel had come far, but it still took the better part of a day to get from Jupiter to Saturn. Alex arrived in the evening and after meeting with Harry she went to the abandoned lab to try and piece together what was going on. Alex walked through the hidden entrance using her flashlight to look at the doors that had been busted open from the inside "Looks like something got out" Alex said over her communicator to Harry who awaited her at the University "Hmm, well maybe something or someone came in the actual way" Harry said as Alex sighed before walked into the lab.
Alex had been gone from this place for nearly 4 years and after the shut down all of their clearance codes had been nulled so walking through the Lab was alittle more than a walk in the park "I thought you said youd be able to turn this shit off" Alex said as she lent on a wall holding her side "Did one of them peg you?" He asked as Alex groaned "Just, bastard lazer burns" she said pulling her vest loose to make sure the lazer hadnt burned though it "Im good" she said before she moved one the corridor behind her filled with security drones "Whatever it was didnt trip the security measures" Harry said as Alex sighed "Thats even worse" She said and made her way to the processing Lab.
Alex arrived after a few more drone encounters. She sat at one of the consoles and tapped her way through the encryptions with realitive ease before she slotted a remote access drive into the console. Alex's exhaled a deep breath as she read the activity logs "Fuck...." She muttered as Harry saw the data "Well this is bad" He said as Alex started to Upload what was left of the information that was sent to the lab from Jupiter Station to the drive "Make sure this goes to a secure drive, Send it to the Byzantium Serves here on Titan, I'll finish up here and head tha...." She said when her ears twitched.
Alex stood up quickly drawing the pistol on her vest as she did only to find it blocked, A hand wrapped around her wrist as she felt the sting of a taser stick land in her neck. Alex collapsed to the ground as she lost consciousness she saw someone pulling the drive from the console before the blackness took her.

Re: Shooting Stars - Ghosts, Part One
Jax gently pushed Cat's hands back over the chit and smiled "its yours, we don't need it to help you"
he looked at Emi;y's readings then sighed softly "your right, we need industrial hardware to sort this out" he looked at Cat and shook his head "Good plan, your right... Maybe just don't tell anybody about her just yet, not until we can figure something out" Jax then smiled they had a plan, even if they were stabbing in the dark. "i'll have to skip day'class tomorrow, i can't well bring her to it... or leave her alone" he was thinking aloud "But no.. its okay, tomorrow night at the Diag lab, i'll be there"
Cat looked at the two "Purple?" she asked but noticed the word fix and a smile followed
"See'ya later Em, i'll keep you updated" he waved as Emily let herself out.

The day that had followed Jax had skipped class and called into work saying that he was sick and couldn't make it, instead he was now on his way to the university with the newly named Purple walking beside him, holding her hand to keep her focused.
When they entred the university Jax gently pulled Cat toward the Diagnostics lab, taking her there at a fast pace, Jax sent a ping to Emily before they were allowed in the locked door, Purple was wearing some of Jax's sisters clothes and looked much like an ordinary girl if the two of them didn't know she was an android.
"She's had another few i suppose you could call them attacks today..." Jax helped Emily setup and any time they had to do something they asked the girls permission, she complied with allowing them to hook up the various equipment they needed to.

Re: Shooting Stars - Ghosts, Part One
Alex got up, pushing herself up from the ground after an unknown amount of time just as the doors flung open, A section of Atlas swat came through the door as Alex looked at them and Harry "Better late than never" Alex said and smiled as Harry sighed "Some one got the drop on you?" he asked as Alex stood "More importantly you didnt loose your prudence" Alex asked as Harry smiled "of course not, they took what was left on the drive, we have the majority of it after the one way was set up" Harry said and smiled as Alex sighed "But?" she asked "But, they still have what they have" He said as Alex smiled "Fair" She rubbed her neck "Well we have a start" Alex said as Harry nodded "The Byzantium servers are housing what we have it should be enough to figure out who or what tripped the alarms" He said as Alex nodded "Hmm, I think i figured out what tripped the alarms" Alex said and smiled "The logs have indicated that something set the completion tasking on the Lazurus final stages" She said "What?" Harry said "Are you saying that what ever tripped the alarms was in possession of Persephone" He said as Alex nodded "Or it was Persephone" She said as he looked at her "Thats impossible" He protested "I think its been a day of impossibles." Alex said and smiled.

Emily quietly went about her work letting Jax handle the talking, once they were finished hooking up wires and components to Cat she went to the console nearby as the holographic read outs came up around Cat. It showed the make up of her interior and the skeleton as Emily looked at the read outs she sat back in her chair. She was amazed, there was technology in Cat that even the big five hadnt come up with yet as she rubbed her forehead What are you getting into she wondered as she started the diagnostics on Cats operating systems. It took nearly an hour but when it was finished she looked to Cat "We'll i found the problem, the OS was not installed correctly to the.....brain i guess" Emily said and looked at the Data "Though....I cant really tell what kind of OS it was, In fact i dont even think" She said and thought to herself "This is all beyond me" She said "I can sort out what she has now, stop these attacks, it will take a few hours, but, I guess I can use parts of the NilfenTech AI programs to fill in the gaps in this ones so she can sort though her own internal memory herself and we can figure out where or what she is" Emily said before she got to work

Re: Shooting Stars - Ghosts, Part One
Jax had little to do while Emily was working, his attention flickered between the two of them, he could see Cat breathing but she was silent, not making a noise while Emily got to work.
"What" Jax looked up he had dozed off briefly "shit sorry.. you said she wasn't installed correctly, i guess that makes these... data fragmentations or something" he kneeled next to emily and looked at the screen "come on, it can't be beyond you Em, your a genius" he smiled "well i think that's enough for now isn't it, it looks like the attacks hurt her... or well.. it sounded like they definitely did last night" he looked over at cat with a worried expression then back at the screen "Wait... So your integrating some sort of AI into her... do we even know if that will...." he stopped "Your right, we don't know anything... lets just, hope for the best"
