Confronting a Weakness [Closed w/ Lafiana]

CORE was on the hunt.
He was low on rescources and money, the only thing he really had a lot of was time. He was nearing the outskirts of LA, and climbing a hill. He had heard news reports of someone who owned land in LA that was able of producing technologies that the rest of the world had yet to catch up on. She was rumored to be rich beyond belief, and that's just what CORE needed.

APPrOAChING TArGET dESTINaTION

As he reached the one-hundred-meters mark, he launched himself into the air, and flew over to the front door of the large, white house. He rapped on the door twice, his metal hand sounding like someone was trying to bash the door in.

"Requesting to speak with the owner of this house." He called.

Lafiana heard the banging on her door. Immediately she was on the defence. she left out the back door and went underground, stealthily moving under the house towards the front. As she passed underneath, she activated an opaque screen and pressed a few buttons. Immediately two large turrets lowered into view from two different points on the house. Her voice rang out over an intercom. "You are trespassing on private property. You are hereby ordered to explain your reasons for coming here or else you will be destroyed. you have twenty seconds." she closed in intercom on her end and her exosuit snapped into place on her body. She stopped under a shallow point in the ground and waited for a response. Various parts of the suit beeped quietly, systems scanning themselves to ensure they were ready to go. the deep hard packed soil above her would mute out the noise to the beings strange mechanical ears.

His neck whirred as his head rotated on axis straight towards the nearest turret. Looking straight down the barrel of a weapon that could likely take off his head, his visor turned from its usual deep blue to a meek shade of green. "My reasons are numerous, and twenty seconds will not accommodate them all, but to shorten them up, I'm seeking to speak with Lafiana, and I assume that you are she." He knelt in front of the door, and put his hands in front of him on the ground. "There are very few things that I wouldn't give to do so."

His Shade Drive was whirring rather loudly then, in preparation to activate in the case that he was fired on.

the girl tilted her head, noticing for the first time the strange almost.. Metallic sound of the obvious mans voice. She Deactivated the turrets and a platform under her raised her above the ground. The girl looked almost shocked when she saw the being in front of her. Slowly Lafiana stepped closer, staying about fifteen or so feet away. "I am Lafiana. I can already think of a couple reasons for you to be here. However, stand up and explain your reasoning."

The girl wouldn't say it, but she was intrigued by this man. It took her every ounce of willpower not to hack the technologically superior being in front of her. Her mind was spinning in the possible technologies she could receive just by studying this robot. However she had to wait. Make him trust her. Then she would get her chance.

CORE rose from his feet, to assume his full height. He towered a good two feet over her, and it was visible even at the fifteen-foot distance between them.  Calming down, his visor cooled back to a deep blue, and his voice smoothed slightly. "I am CORE, I hail from the planet Hjarmden several billion light years away. I arrived on Earth recently, in a shuttle that is now nonexistent. My creators, the Kemmarii sent me here because of their extinction. They unknowingly consumed rescources faster than they should've, and suffocated for lack of breathable atmosphere and food. I am here now, so that I can bring them back. Maybe not as they were, and maybe not as many as they were, but back. I am but one, and I know for a fact that alone I will not be able to accomplish this. Please, I beseech you to aid me. Do so, and I can give to you secrets of a race long gone, and a force of Kemmarian soldiers to exact your every command."[b]

All moving parts inside him ceased movement, and apart from the chirping of the birds and the whistle of the wind it was completely silent. [b]"I would offer the whole of my existence to you I you aid me." He stood silent after finishing his explanation.

Lafiana's eyes became digitalized as she scanned the robot, multiple opaque screens appeared in the air around her that displayed various forms of information. She tweaked it a bit and tilted her head. "You had better come inside." She walked past the robot and into her house, which fazed around her before everything really appeared. she sat down and fiddled more with the screens observing the readouts. "So you come to resurrect your makers species. Hmm. there is a major problem. If the kemmarii come back then logically, our planet would end in the same fate. do you disagree? What happened once with a species WILL happen again if allowed. Humans time and time again have made peace treaties after devastating wars, only years later to break those treaties and for the war to begin again. It is always the same. It never changes. If you can PROVE that your species will not do it again, then I will assist you." She looked up at the robot and let a smile onto her face. Maybe this would be the beginning of a new organization.

(OOC: Sorry, just had a really busy day, and had trouble cleaning up the last post.)

CORE followed the smaller woman indoors. As she was fiddling with the screens, he looked her up and down. She was simple in appearance as he was in design. Though his inner workings were complex and their history moreso, on the outside his design wa smooth and clean. Her exosuit appeared to be similarly made, and her features followed suit: simple and elegant.

A second later and she presented him with a question that could very well effect the future of two species. He nodded, "Indeed. I have run over several scenarios. In the first one, the Kemmarii remain a small group and leave with me to colonize somewhere far away. This presents many financial issues, as well as legal ones and temporal ones. In a second the Kemmarii remain a small but stable population, that the world is relatively oblivious to. Obviously this scenario is easily possible, but less than ideal. The third is where the Kemmarii grow to rival the human population of the world, which will cause immense conflict, but a certain balance. This is less than ideal as well, but far more fair for the Kemmarii. Lastly, as there currently seems to be a substance of humans in the world, the Kemmarii could ally with them, or build off of them genetically, and simply merge into the main populous as a genetically similar yet different race, that is somewhere in between the three species. This seems the most plausible and least globally-damaging, but immense amounts of work are required."

He paused, looked down at straight into her eyes, and said, "You must know that very few people will accept this as fact, less will like it, and few people will aid in it. I would go so far as to say that very few people wouldn't try to kill us both. I was programmed to bring back the Kemmarii, but I was also programmed to learn and evolve. I know, and I BELIEVE, that they will come back. I must. Emotions were not programmed into me, but I love them. They, my creators, raised me from the dust of my homeland, and I will be DAMNED if I don't raise them from the dust they've settled in. If, no, WHEN I bring them back, even if I have to kill several of them, or several hundred, they will NOT do what they did. For their sake, I will be their god, and you are welcome to join me if you help them back. I will do anything you ask." He powered down all unecessary functions, he dulled his Shade Drive, and reached over to his left hand. Plunging his fingers into his palm, he tore out the laser embedded in it and held it out to her. "I am unarmed. I am at your mercy."

The girl listened to his words carefully. When he finished she reached over and took the strange crystal from his hand. she analyzed it for a moment and offered it back to him. "Your logic is sound and reasonable. If I may state that the best possible solution would be for the race to merge with our own. So that both species live on. Any person who hates the idea shall be cleansed as I am sure your species has the technology to alter one's belief to force them to accept something. If not, I will be capable of creating one in just a matter of time. I completely understand your focus as well. you are programmed to believe what they implanted into you, that focus is the same. Sadly you are mistaken. Emotions were not programmed into you. However when you were programmed to learn and evolve, your own mind created the emotions. You DO feel. Just as strongly as anyone else." A large 50 inch opaque screen appeared in the air, it moved through various screens as her mind worked. Finally a real time image of the robots central processor aka his brain appeared on the screen. She pointed it out to him with her hand. "See here how the circuitry connects. you can see the electro pulses running trough them. Those should not have been there when you were built. Your own body adapted as you learned. You have the emotions. just as you have the ability to chut down programming within yourself. Yes, I noticed. Also without the emotions, you would have never unarmed yourself to me. Your own mind would have refused any such idea. I will ally with you, together we will bring back a dying species. We shall learn and grow together, doing such things this world has never seen before." She stood up, crystal held out in her left hand and a hand held out to shake his own. The large monitor closed down and vanished.

CORE knelt again, bringing his head far down enough that he could look her straight in the eye. Taking the components from he left hand, he shook her right. "My thanks, and may this meeting have changed the future forever." Then standing, again reaching his full height, he looked to his right and left, examining the room. Again, it was plain. Turning his head back to her, he queried, "Now where shall we begin?" He turned his palms outward again, to reveal that the laser had already fit itself back into place, without him ever doing anything but holding it. "We'll need many materials, and many subjects to test on."

The gril grinned mischievously, walking towards a regular wall and opening a screen. After a moment a door opened, revealing a pathway down some stairs, she beckoned him to join her and started walking down. "Yes I believe this may change everything. We need to start with you creating a list of things we will need to begin. Human test subjects will be easy to come across." a screen opened up on the wall as they walked down, showing an image of city, after city, after city. "Now the more difficult part will be getting meta humans to join us. We will need allies. As well as those willing to donate their dna. I would be the first however my blood is... Different. It would be no good."

She reached the bottom and walked into a huge room filled with tools and various parts and weapons. Many of which have never been seen by anyone but her. She walked over to a nearby table and a dozen screens opened around her, she began to type fast on a virtual keyboard under her fingers. "As you know money is no object. Any one item down here could make millions at a minimum. billions if sold to the military. Of course, that won't happen unless I desire the money which, lets face it.. I have no need for more money." She couldn't help but to grin, thinking of what her adoptive father must think of her now a days.
