Cyberdragon, Arrival

[CyberGometh]

CyberGometh had always viewed the circutry of a computer as a world of its own, similar to cyberspace, into which he often traveled. However, here was a completely different world to what he was used to; the cosy, cottage-type dwelling that was his Dragonwing both in Cyberspace and in circutry; the thriving metrpolis that was the Draconus HQ Meganet site; and even the circutry aboard the Avalon had the familiar feel of all Allied Forces computer systems. This one didn't.

The computers were alien to him, the programs were quite different, attacking problems in different ways, with different solutions. Then again, the base programming he himself possessed allowed him to emulate these said programs if he had to, and he could certainly work with them.

He moved up to a security checkpoint, and paused while it confirmed what and who he was.

He stepped, then, into a virtual representation of the bridge. AIs worked at the various stations, while CyberGometh moved along the observation catwalks towards an empty security station; that was why he'd come aboard the ship anyway. He paused for a moment; the bridge in the virtual world was much larger than is was in realspace, and looked slightly more like the bridge of a Dragonreach Alliance capital ship.

Continuing, he stopped when an AI blocked his path.
"You are?" he asked, following DA protocol for contacting an unknown AI system that didn't bear the distinguishing trait of a Cyberdragon or Meganet Navigator, the glowing crystal that hung around theri necks.

[RaZR]

RaZR relaxed a little, examining this new AI. Times were certainly changing, if this was who had been sent to 'assist' his crew of AIs. Fade would have been better suited to this mission.

"I'm nobody of consequence, at least not until you confirm you were sent here by the Dragonreach Alliance. By confirming it, you will be accepting the terms of this mission, which I am sure you have considered? Do not disappoint me," the AI laid back his ears, then added almost inaudibly, "This better not be another waste of my time and processing power."

[CyberGometh]

CyberGometh huffed, annoyed, "If you must know, High Command requested that I come aboard your ship for a period of time while I reinforce your security systems and streamline any systems that require it, although I doubt very many will. As it is, the Avalon is about to undock, and if you don't want me, you have about three minutes to say so. After that, you're stuck with me for a month."

He shook himself, his spikes rattling together realistically, then stepped to the edge of the catwalk, surveying the bridge for any systems here that needed tuning.

[RaZR]

RaZR shook his tuft of bright green hair out of his eyes, "Our security rests on my shoulders and mine alone. As for the other systems, I am sure you will find them satisfactory. Unless, that is, one of the rookie AIs has done something stupid and none of the others have cared to notify me. And I assure you, that does not happen often."

[CyberGometh]

CyberGometh was silent for a moment, running thris through his subroutines, then, "I'll stay aboard, just in case. You never know, you might need me to fend off a Dark Force AI. Anyway, my owner's ship just pulled the data cords. I'm stuck on this ship now."
