if you had the above avatar tied up in your basement

[Yureina]

So what do all those wires do?

 

[xmbts]

They charge her ass kicking batteries, now if you'll excuse me I'll be comatose on the floor.

 

[Yureina]

Need to recharge huh? Maybe I can help with that. ;P

 

[xmbts]

Hmm, yeah I suppose.
Wait...what?

 

[Yureina]

You heard me. ;P

 

[xmbts]

Spoiler: Oh I get you.

It's so obvious!

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

I'm sorry, I need you to power my house. Nothing personal.

[color=sky blue]Cortana: Im in no position to be picky....anything will do. Now how may I go about repaying you for being so kind? No worries Doc take as long as you need to deal with them[/color]

Its no trouble at all.
Now... do you remember anything... anything at all about how you got here? Or how you seem to have gained a physical form?

Ehh... I shouldn't pry... it was probably quite traumatic... but... if you want to talk... I'll listen.

As for repaying me.... that isn't necessary... but if you really want to... if you insist... no.... we'll save it for when you're feeling better.

EDIT:
It seems we have a guest in a top hat... how odd. (unites)
Now... how did you get here?

[color=sky blue]Cortana: I remember standing on my Holopad watching John sleep in his cryotube as I often did when I wasn't managing the power levels or sending out the distress beacons. I did this for about a year before a bright almost violent flash of light engulfed the Dawn, I started to feel weak and 'sick to my stomach' as I thought an EMP blast was gonna kill us both before I blacked out. When I woke I was laying on the ground suddenly solid but before I could marvel at this wonderful occurance I noticed John was nowhere to be seen. I moved to go find him when someone attacked me from behind.....After that I woke up here. [/color]

Huh...
I'll be making a full inquiry into my staff to see if any of them attacked you.

Or it could have been Mengsk... but why would he put you on my ship?

Or even... how could he...

oh well..

OH! I almost forgot, I brought you some clothes and some books to read. I didn't know your size, so I just got you a one-size-fits all ceremonial Protoss robe... it might be a bit big for a... Terran? But it should keep you warm. I have also given you some preliminary access to our databases... star maps, entertainment, news. To catch you up, and see if you recognize anything on our charts.

[color=sky blue]Well when you find who attacked me let me know. *ducks away to change before coming back out* its a suprisingly good fit. I'll give the databases a once over momentarily. But before I do I've gotta ask..*smiles* How do I look?[/color]

It may just be the blue skin... but you look a bit like a young Protoss... and... that's odd... I didn't notice until now, but your eyes are glowing... a little bluish... of course, a young Protoss doesn't have legs like that... and none of us have "mouths" or "ears" or "noses". Yet I find your appearance oddly pleasing.

(an hour passes)

Well... I've mentally scanned all of my soldiers, and none of them attacked you or know who did... so that's a dead end.

Well... there is one other option... but... I'll need DNA samples from you... if I can determine how you became solid, I might be able to work out who made you solid...
I may also be able to tell if you are actually human. I have a theory about how you got to be solid... but let's see what the results turn up... if you are comfortable with me taking a DNA sample, that is.

OT:
I'll get to you in a minute Best.

[color=sky blue]
Cortana: Well if I look anything like I did when I was a Hologram Im almost a dead ringer for a younger version of my creator/"mother"....*the compliment registers* why thank you *smiles again*
Well thats good I wouldn't want thier to be tension with your ranks over me, as for the sample...I can do that *winces as she plucks a hairs* well this be enough? *holds out the hairs*[/color]

 

[xmbts]

Well he does look a bit pickley, just saying. But I'd probably let him go, he has a spanish inquisition to be celebrating.

Yes, that should work... though... if my suspicions are correct... I might also need a saliva sample... here, spit into this cup, please.

Inquiries have continued, but so far... nothing.

However, I do have one theory about how you became solid...
I think that someone made this body before-hand, and your personality... mind... was downloaded into this body. This body could be robotic... but (holds Cortana's hands in my own)... hmm... no... a robotic body wouldn't have that kind of warmth... or that kind of pulse...

hmm... I might be a while... I'm in the process of negotiations with the UED.

OT:
Hello Xmbts... would you mind keeping Cortana company... and please... retract those tentacles... being solid is enough of a shock for her right now.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Well then lets end the negotiations, the UED gets the planets held by the dominion, in exchange for helping to liberate Aiur, give the protoss full rights to any Xel'naga artifacts, and a non-agression treaty.

Sign here please.

 

[YoBadMama]

I'll make him give me his awesome sailor hat!

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Why do I have a Zerg in my basement?

 

[xmbts]

@TheDoctor: They don't retract, they disconnect and just kind of hang there.

Spoiler: How's this?

OT: Why hello Mr. Rear Admiral.

Of course... wait a minute...
what's this smudge here covering up?

(Psionically removes smudge and reads the fine print)

"Access to Protoss DNA for experimental purposes... including making a Protoss/Zerg hybrid"

NO! YOU FOOL! Take that out of the treaty! Even if you do make one, it will destroy us all!

OT:
Xtmbs, I'll owe you one if you recharge my ship and run a thorough DNA scan on Cortana's new body.

 

[xmbts]

Do what now? It's more of a guitar playing ass-kicking Cyborg then a helpful robot.

But I can poke her with a stick.

Those tentacles are just for show?
Oh well... never mind then.

Just play (harmless) games with her then.

 

[AwesomeExpress]

I'd make you do my dishes, then get you going on digging a tunnel to Japan.

NO! YOU FOOL! Take that out of the treaty! Even if you do make one, it will destroy us all!

Hey that wasn't me that was Duran. Promise!

OT: I'll have you deliver this package to the Doom-planet.
