Standing before this cool metal door, Tobius once again cursed the world darkly under his breath. He hated mornings, always have, especially on jump days. Tobius always enjoyed the few extra minutes of peace that he allowed himself before jumping out of bead to get ready for work, But like every time the ship jumped he would be denied his peace. The sudden movement of the ship tossing him out of bed and ripping him from his dreams every time. He would always find himself on the ground, cursing at nothing in particular.
Unfortunately today he couldn't revel in his dark mood in the sanctuary that was the inner workings of the ship, today he was assigned to a kitchen android That had some sort of failure. Now rclean and dressed for work, he found himself standing in front of the door of the aindroids room his mind, like always, somewhere else. He shook his head vigorously, both to bring him back to the now and here and shake away the brooding mood. A smile on his face, he swept his Id card across the panel beside the door and entered the room, the door sliding shut behind him.
If it wasnt for the tools neatly placed on wheeled tables it would seam that Tobius just entered a operating room. White walls a bright single light radiating throughout the room, making it appear to be a sterile area. The moment Tobius entered a smile was brought to his lips as he beamed pleasantly toward the AI, moving to shake its hand.
"Hello, my names Tobius Tetrial, but you can call me Tetrial."
"Morning Tetrial, I am Giovanni."
"Nice to meet you Giovani, now let me see here."
As Tobius spoke he reached for the chart at the foot of Giovanni's bed, inspecting it closely. What he read was quite frankly.. strange. Looking from the chart to the AI several times before setting the chart back down a real smile finally on his face. At least this is interesting, Tobius thought again before adressing the AI once more. "It seems Giovanni that there was an accident in the kitchens. IM going to need to acess your inner workings. If you could sit at the edge of the bed and relax, I can get started."
The android complied without complaint. AS Tobius stood waiting for Giovanni to get into place he couldn't help but groan inwardly. He hated working on android, though this particular case could easily be the exception. He had no problem with AI, in fact the few co-workers he actually respected are all AI, but to take them apart and look into the actual code that made up thier minds felt wrong. As if he was poking around were he didst belong, i felt disrespectful. Finally Giovanni was in place and Tobius went to work.
Taking his pick of the tools arrayed around the room he came behind the AI and began accessing the maintenance hatch on the back of the older Androids skull. A soft click and the hatch creaked open. Plugging his tablet into several ports within the hardware. His attention there after was glued to the data on his tablet, running a couple quick diagnostic scans, it came back within moments that the hard drive and memory of the AI seemed to be fine. With older models though that didn't tell him much.
So he delved deeper into his core programming. The data scrolled down his tablet but Tobius just stared at it blankly. He quickly opened another program to identify the model of the AI to confirm his suspicion. This wasn't Giovanni or at least it wasn't anymore. The core programming was... altered. Someone hacked this AI for whatever reason and fundamentally changed his core programming. Tobius Withdrew the ports and slowly backed away, his mind racing at what this could possibly mean and why this particular AI. He needed to call in someone else to figure this out, the particulars of AI are beyond his skill. With that in mind Tobius forced a smile back on his face and politly spoke to the android. "Giovanni, if you could stay here I need to call in a specialist." With that Tobius left the room without waiting for the AI's response. He quickly ran down the hall to the locker rooms, where he had changed earlier into his uniform. He pulled out his Communicater and dialed a person who would be able to figure this out, a very old friend that still owed him a favor.
After several moments, Tobius had almost hung up and dialed again when he connected. "Kallen... this is Tetrial. I could use your help down here."
