[Eighty Third Cord] : [Locked to Kats] [Backdate: March 10th] [Audio]

Hey... uhm... I need a replacement arm. Right. And it's not for anyone you've made for yet.

[attached: Tei's schematics]

I've got a temporary cap on it right now and done as much of the repairs I can right now, but I need the arm to finish. She was... pretty beat up when I got to her...

Oh dear, another sister of yours?

More like a cousin... i-it's a long story...

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

I see...

Well, I can have the new arm ready within the day. I have the parts necessary it's just a matter of putting them together and letting the synthetic skin set.

Thank you, Kats... she's sleeping to recharge right now, so I'm not really worried about getting it soon...

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

May I ask, out of curiosity the nature of her injuries? Or is that also a long story?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

It's...

[long sigh, quiet, thoughtful pause. It's locked, and she trusts Kats, so she knows she can do this without risking Tei's safety for now.]

It's a long story. But I've got time...

... do you remember when that UTAU showed up that was really dangerous? She killed some one pretty much her first day here.

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

I do recall...the one with a unsettling soft voice and a penchant for stabby noises.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Yes. Her. Sukone Tei.

Well... we sort of have here here at my apartment...

Don't ask me how, but it seems she's uhm... fallen in love with a human boy. And not in the obsessive "I'll kill you if you don't return my affections" way.

[this story gets weirder the more she thinks about it]

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

How very....romantic?

*Ahem* Who is the boy in question?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Imonoyama Nokoru. If you've been following the news feeds at all... well he met up with her a couple of days before Valentines Day because she was upset about... something. I don't know what. Being alone, I guess. They went to a cafe, and then the park, and apparently he said something that set her off and she stabbed him.

Rii-chan rescued him and tried to restrain Tei-chan. Rii-chan and Nokoru-kun got to talking on their way to the hospital and he found out about her being an android, and got it in his head that she could probably have her programming fixed.

I guess he's just... more stubborn than the rest of us, because he kept seeing her. Some how him actually paying attention to her made her... saner. Or something... they spent the week of the virus together. Nokoru-kun said she wanted to be repaired, but she also made him promise to help her no matter what she said later on because she actually realized she wasn't going to be able to stay in control.

Anyway, I talked to her... she basically tried to leave that monster Doctor Finitevus. He was the one taking care of her before all this. But they had a fight. She stabbed him, he backhanded her in to a nightstand. That's how her arm got damaged the first time.

She ran off and was missing for a few days, apparently wandering around Axyori and Asuka without stopping to recharge or get repaired. Nokoru-kun found her in Asuka, but she ran off on him.

When Luna-chan and Nokoru-kun found her in Meria, she was about ready to kill a man for stopping her from stealing food. I guess her arm was even more damaged then, and when Luna-chan tackled her it came clean off.

She's lucky she didn't fry herself... I think the only thing keeping her from that was lacking the energy to do so.

So she's resting in the guest room right now. She actually seems really... coherent, if not really upset and horribly apologetic over everything she's done...

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

Well...that seems like she's gone through alot of development in a short space of time. But it seems to be treating her well if she's found her way back to her family and away from that beastly excuse for a doctor.

So does this mean that you will be attempting to repair her programming as well?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I suppose having some one who genuinely cares about you enough helps... I don't even want to think of what kind of sick lies Finitevus was feeding her...

I'm certainly going to try. Her programming is very much broken, though... just trying to get past her security to put her in to sleep mode gave me a headache. Rii-chan has already offered her own schematics for comparison, and I'm sure I can get Dart at the garage to help...

It's going to be a long, complicated process regardless.

[techsavytabby.livejournal.com]

The most rewarding tasks always are.

Well, you know you have my aid as you need it. Many paws make swift work as they say.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I always welcome your help, Kats. I'm sure we'll need it.
