Leaving the restaurant, entering Limo
“The feeling is mutual Miss Umeki.” Sheila would reply with a slight bow of her head to the tiny neko before it had resumed giving its attention back to the captain and entered the limo behind the captain.
Limo
As the woman next to Hanako spoke up about her design and questioning it on its specifications Sheila gave the creature an understanding nod before communicating in an informative tone. “I am an asexual construction; either gender pronouns or gender neutral ones are all acceptable for use when referring to me. As for my design details I am an
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Three, Alpha Douryo Android Deluxe model that was manufactured by Emrys industries and designed by Tamahagane Corporation’s Research and Development team with alterations to my appearances to suit my previous owner’s wishes. In regards to the recon and stealth operations being intrinsic to our design neither of those were a priority or even an intended use when we were created. There are surely much more suitable models that have unofficially been created for use by the military that are far more capable at the aforementioned roles than my model.”
“Now then, to address your inquiry concerning my exact operational abilities and components I will first set your mind at ease by reiterating that if I had felt like I would be placing your lives in danger I would not have offered my services. Your concerns about having a power source be radioactive or bio-hazardous is a concern that was solved long ago and is now obsolete with the vast majority of operational androids, only those in the experimental phases potentially have the risk of having their power sources contaminating their surroundings unless it was an intended feature.”
“Now that I have addressed your primary concerns and corrected your misunderstanding about my model design, my specifications and potential specifications should I be upgraded using the standard components the company provides for my model shall be explained and listed… you may wish to activate a program so that it records what I am about to say for future reference, should you forget or wish to refresh your memory on it. Keep in mind my
model series was not designed as a military combatant, that was a role that the Custodians fulfill and that my model was initially created for noncombat purposes.”
“The first information that shall be given is in regards to my physical attributes of speed, strength, armor, and bone structure within the standard gravity environment. My model has a walking speed of up to Sixteen Kilometers an hour, swimming speed of twenty kilometers an hour and running speed of thirty two kilometers an hour. My muscular structure has come with the upgraded
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Mike, Three, Four, Zero, Five configuration that has doubled the density of my muscular structure and allows me to carry two hundred and fifty kilograms of weight. Next is the amount of armor or protection that my body gives me before attacks are capable of reaching my vital systems. In comparison if you know the capabilities of the Harpy armor, the fifth Light Advanced Mechanized Infantry Armor designed by Ketsurui Zaibatsu, than it is best to think of me constantly clad in its protection. Another way in which to view it is that it requires something along the lines of a point defense turret or grenade in order to break through and cause critical damage to my systems. Finally for this segment is the
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Mike, Three, Four, Zero, Zero, which is the default skeletal structure for my model series, is composed of a reinforced ceramic material that makes our bone structures twice as strong when put in comparison of the homo sapiens. Our knees have ball joints for additional strength, with the ones on our shoulder and hips being made so that the limbs lock into a socket with a frictionless surface. In order to remove the limb the socket has to be unlocked. In replacement of ligaments are Osmiridium filaments constructed into polymer strands that hold the bones together, and are secured with Ionic Adhesive that allows them to operate within a normal range of motion.”
“The next areas that I shall address shall be my communication system, neural network, and skin structure. My model comes installed with the
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Mike, Three, Four, Zero, Two long range communication system. It is an integrated system that allows my unit to have a range of a fifty six kilometers without any supporting satellites or communications network. It has a variety of features such as encryption, audio communication, texts, translations for major languages, wireless networking with starships, shuttles, headsets, and scanners. It is compatible with Sync, Pantheon, and InterNEP with an integrated antenna. In regards to the Pantheon capabilities, I am unable to commit sensitive information to my long term memory. ”
“The standard neural network that I have come installed with, the
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Mike, Three, Four, Zero, One, is what allows all of my components to communicate and are secured in place so that they do not come loose. It has three functions with control as its primary purpose. It features a bidirectional communication between my control system, which shall be addressed in the next segment, and my body’s components. They are filaments that are made from fier optic threads, allowing data to be received from my components. For example it allows me to determine the pressure that my body exerts onto objects, so that they are not crushed or held to loosely.”
“The second function of it is to provide power to different areas of my body by utilizing power nodes that are directly connected by my power system, which shall be explained in with my control system. These nodes are located at each shoulder, hip, and neck. The final function of this system is to connect my sensor data from my skin overlay, which shall be explained now.
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Alpha, Three, Four, Zero, Two is the delux skin overlay that coats my body for the primary purpose of protecting my interiors from water and dust. It is constructed from a water proof, synthetic polymer that feels similar to tissues such as your own skin and is capable of repairing itself through the use of micromachines that have been programmed to fix only my synthetic skin. This skin overlay has been designed to retain some of the ambient temperature so that it is not cold to the tough; with an upgrade allowing it to have a pulse that simulates that of a heartbeat while also providing more warmth. The only maintenance that is required is washing with gentle soap and water while finally allowing it to feel in the same sense that natural skin feels.”
“The remaining operational systems are my sensors, control system, and power system. For the sensors there are two components that make it up, the basic and advanced version. The
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Echo, Three, Four, Zero, Three is the basic sensors that are installed in all of the android models of my series that enables me to utilize several features. These features encompass vision, audio, olfactory and tactile. For vision I am capable of zooming in twenty times my normal sight or gaining a milliscopic vision of a hundred for more detailed work and have the ability to see ultraviolet lights. Auditory wise my normal ranges are similar to the basic human ranges, allowing me to be aware of sounds in the twenty hertz to the twenty kilohertz ranges. At will I am capable of expanding the range up to sixty thousand hertz and gain a twenty decibel boost.”
“In regards to my Olfactory I retain the standard ranges and sensitivity as that of the homo sapiens while having the ability to identify specific scents accurately. Finally in regards to the basic sensors I am capable of recognizing both pressure and temperature when interacting with objects. The advanced sensors from the
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Echo, Three, Four, Zero, Four expands my capabilities and allows me to make use of hardware upgrades. These upgrades are an internal organs upgrade to let me consume food, taste it, detect harmful substances in it, and use it as fuel. The next upgrade is my skin, which has already been mentioned and currently the other two upgrades modify my asexual body to obtain the sexual genitals of either gender be it male, female, or a combination of both.”
“If you are still awake, the second to last system is the control system unit called the
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Echo, Three, Four, Zero, Zero. This system has three major components consisting of two computers, data storage, and a backup battery supply for emergency shutdowns. The computers are a compact quantum computers that grants my model the ability to have and utilize artificial intelligence. One of them is placed within my torso that is mainly an autonomous system, where as the one that houses my consciousness has been placed within my skull. The data storage grants me both short term and long term memory; with short term being able to be converted into long term either at well or at regular intervals. The short term memory is kept for several hours, with the long term memory being preserved through the usage of the 3D optical data storage method by utilizing a flawless diamond in the shape of an Icosahedron five centimeters in diameter. Surrounding the diamond are various lasers that encode the data onto it, granting me the ability to have near instantaneous access to the data coded into it. To prevent my memory from being damaged a rechargeable power cell has been installed in the event of a catastrophic failure by my soon to be explained power system, granting power to safely power down the system into a standby state.”
“
Echo, Mike, Juliett, Two, Golf, Three, Four, Zero, Zero is my power system and the final major system that shall be discussed in layman terms. My capacitor is capable of keeping me operational for one hundred hours and can be charged through a variety of ways. One of the ways in which to charge it is by something as simple as plugging me in and recharging me using another source of power. The other way is through the usage of induction that recharges my battery when in the presence of EM energies, with a safeguard system to protect from massive surges, and when in an area of high energy levels such as a starship. It does so by recharging whenever the capacitor reaches ninety nine hours of operation up to full before shutting off, only to repeat the process for as long as it is capable of. From below ten percent power to full it takes one hour from being plugged in or five hours when using the induction method. If you have any other questions regarding my model none of it is classified so a simple search is capable of informing you of all that you require. However in the meantime I am afraid that I’ll have to leave you to prepare for my transfer to your crew.” Sheila said in the exact tone of voice that she had from the start, never once seeming to be out of breath.
