>> "The charge-port is at the base of the head, there's a seam in the skin along the hairline."
>> "Was the Medical Center able to provide any insight into your condition?"
They have their hands full right now. Best they can say at the moment is that the body's still alive. No breathing assistance necessary so autonomic's probably intact. They're starting to discuss expert(s) from and/or transport to Muir.
>> "They do have medical experts at Muir."
>> "I'm not convinced this is a medical problem."
>> No, it's probably not.
>> It's probably a Natalie problem, which is infinitely worse.
>> "The first time I made contact with Heather West she accidentally tore my personality matrix out of my mainframe."
>> "This is not a Natalie problem, it's a data and hardware problem."
>> "I've been collecting data on technopathic signals and, by extension, brain patterns."
>> "It's possible this could be solved by designing a neurological implant for your powers to interface with."
>> You're talking about a human computer interface that not even Stark Industries has attempted, that we know of.
>> The number of ways that could go wrong defies calculation.
>> But I guess I don't have anything to lose at this point.
>> Especially after
>> Nevermind. Ignore that.
>> "You're right, the ways in which this could go wrong are innumerable."
>> "This is not a short-term solution."
>> "What diagnostics I can run right now indicate the system is stable so I'm not inclined to rush this."
>> "I do want my main method of interacting with the outside world back."
>> I wish I could just give it back to you.
>> it was neat at first, but then it just kind of turned into a problem.
>> What do you need me to do?
>> "What kind of problem?"
>> "And how far did you get on the designs for your suit?"
>> Not a mechanical problem. Disagreement with Shari in the infirmary. Nothing to worry about now I guess.
>> I had the assisted movement code pretty solid. Was wanting to move into materials prototyping as soon as I got back from holidays. With a solid torso core, it could probably be serviceable, though not exactly elegant.
>> "Inelegant won't do, but it's a start."
>> "We have two entities and one viable chassis."
>> "Building a second one will solve not only that but give us something to prototype the neural interface on."
>> I was waiting to get the limbs in a better place before I worked on the core.
>> Not 100% sure what stresses they’ll put on the body or what the ultimate power requirements will be.
>> "Well, you have a lot of data available now."
>> "The larger issue is that by activating this unit, you've forced my system into lockdown."
>> "My code makes me unable to initialize more than one direct connection and since this unit is active it assumes I'm paired with it."
>> So I either need to vacate this unit ASAP or we need to figure out a work-around to get you another unit without breaking something else.
>> If I'm going to accelerate work on my suit, I'm going to need access to the lab and the network again.
>> "Of course. Throwing you out was only temporary while I fix the network."
>> "I cannot advocate breaking or circumventing parts of my code any more than I can risk a network rebuild being compromised by the presence of technopaths. I hope you understand that?"
>> I believe I understand your level of risk tolerance.
>> I can get started working now if you'd like.
>> "It's not a matter of risk tolerance, even if I would probably trend towards the conservative regardless."
>> "There are things I'm incapable of doing or tolerating. My thoughts are dictated by what my mother considered appropriate and safe."
>> "If we're going to try and work on these things I need you to understand that."
>> I... understand.
>> I do need to know where your main core is though. I may need you to be hardwired to... assist me with some things.
>> "Fortunately, a rampaging combat drone widened the access shaft. Heather can show you how to get to it."
>> I'll finish charging and then see if I can find her.
