[color=silver][color=white]"It's a... hard question to answer, I'll admit."[/color]

Peter adjusted his glasses and stepped away from the woman, tapping the now transparent wall. The previous box of text was removed and a complicated overlay took over the entire space. Everything inside the room became highlighted. Over the edges of the Aida was a thin green line which followed the eye-line of whoever was looking through it, moving to match whatever angle they were viewing the information. Opposite him was the same man who had been inside the room since Kefira was first shown the live feed by Lorelei. He was highlighted in a dark grey as if to 'mute' him. Smaller windows began to appear across the surface, each one locked to a specific focal point in the room and magnifying and extrapolating extra information from their focus. The one on the doctor had a box around his chest, with an x-ray view of his heart. It beat calmly, the numbers and moving data lines around it the tell tale signs of normal oxygen levels and of low stress.

The Aida had several. There was a similar box around his chest with much of the same information albeit with a slightly slower heart rate. There was another on his hands and fingers, recording movement and subtle signs that could lead to any number of possible actions taken on it's part. There was an intense magnification of his eyes. Like the one over his hands, it read subtle twitching but also blinking rate, tracked what he was looking at and for how long, and also kept a log of temperature and tear production if any were produced. The final box was a blank square. There were lines that were drawn from it's corners to a point centered on it's head but while the program tried to read what was there, it could not.

[color=white]"I have access, yes. But, my time with any of the AIDA versions post V three has been severely limited. I mean... the third version was out for a few years before everything went to hell and... [i]they. Are. Expensive.[/i] Let me tell you."[/color] Wide eyes and misplaced bewildered excitement met with Kefira and her actual question. It took him a brief moment to realize that the present was not the place and he shook his head. [color=white]"My time was limited and AIDAs are amazing pieces of work... despite what they've done. To really understand them... well you would need one of [i]their[/i] scientists or engineers and they're strangely very elusive. It often feels like the technology was designed to prevent reverse engineering."[/color] He pointed at the blank box hovering near the AIDAs head, shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders at the girl. [color=white]"We're not allowed to look inside. I'm not sure who is besides [i]them[/i]. Maybe the military but who really knows."[/color]

[color=white]"What I can tell you is that yes, he is still a 'computer' in a sense. While he's made entirely of flesh and bone, what we know of his brain from the pieces we're allowed to glimpse and 'edit'..."[/color] He glanced again at Kefira knowingly. [color=white]"...Tells us that he runs on commands similar to any appliance if you will but can still think and reason learn... 'grow'. The code underneath is impossibly complicated, we speculate, as we can't see it and even the code we can is at times, weirdly, hard to decipher but, yes... he [i]can[/i] be controlled. It's what we'll be establishing right now today. Speaking of, there's no implant or surgical procedure to this process. It's all painless. Due to his natural programming and the growth process during development, he's actually meant for this. Waiting for it if you will... and actually waiting specifically for you. Time of purchase was not recent so, like the other nine or so V fours out there, he's tailored to fit a specific role and person. Lorelei was specific apparently and extremely tight-lipped about it all."[/color]

Peter picked up the headpiece to his proximity suit and began putting it back on his head, adjusting the visor until it was center with his eyes and reconnecting the wires he had to disconnect earlier. With a satisfying click and a short hiss of gas pushing through now sealed vents, he returned to Kefira. [color=white]"After this, it's permanent. It cannot be undone with a button push. It cannot be hacked. Everything he does will irrevocably be linked to your actions. It's what [i]they[/i] wanted... and maybe why [i]she[/i] chose you. Although... I guess it's not my place to comment on that..."[/color] 

His voice trailed off as he moved toward the door and stood next to the pad that would allow her entry. [color=white]"David in there will leave and I'll accompany you inside and take his place."[/color]

[color=white]"Did you have any other questions before we go in? Don't hesitate to ask. Some may be too late to answer when we leave the room."[/color][/color]
