บท 295: Turn off the lights...
Afton huffs after having destroyed most of the Robo-Scorpions stationed here. He was still slightly injured from the wounds his [Miracle Maker] had failed to heal, but Nyx was more than willing to pump Stimpacks and Med X into him to help.
There should still be many Robo-Scorpions inside the X-13 facility, b ut Afton thought destroying the army was enough for now. This would put a dent in Mobius' forces numbers, hopefully the mad scientist would think twice before sending more after Afton in the next facility he has to enter.
"User! Life signs ceased for 2.7 seconds! Wounds too extensive to tend to... My processors are overheating in an attempt to understand what had just occurred." Nyx says, clearly baffled by his rapid recovery to what was most certainly his death.
"Ah-er... You sure your sensors aren't on the blink Nyx? Maybe you should check them out before you start frying yourself in an attempt to understand something that is clearly impossible."
"Understood, I shall begin a hardware overview. Be careful, my sensors will be unavailable until I am finished." Nyx says.
Ah, Afton hadn't thought about that... Hopefully, it wouldn't take too long, her sensors were incredibly useful thus far, and it'd be unfortunate to lose them. For now, he should probably get back to the Think Tank and report on his success, he hadn't heard a broadcast from Klein this time, so perhaps Mobius had found a way to block the schematic transfer.
That, and Afton wanted to see if any other personality chip had been fixed yet... Though, the repair process will probably take a little longer due to the damage done to the stealth suit earlier. He shakes his head, regardless, he'll be able to gather some information about the next facility while he's there.
With that, Afton turns and starts heading back to the Think Tank, avoiding an occasional group of Lobotomites before finally getting back.
Afton heads straight up to the Sink after he reaches the dome, deciding to speak to the scientists afterward.
As he enters he's immediately greeted by his dutiful servant, Alfred. "Salutations, sir. I trust your recent venture has been rewarding?"
Afton nods, "It has. Ah, by the way, Alfred, meet Nyx." he says, tapping on the stealth suit to coax the AI out.
"I am the Stealth suit Mk2, otherwise designated as, Nyx."
"I am the Sink central intelligence unit, also designated Alfred. It's a pleasure to meet one of sir's companions." he says politely.
"Hello, table person Alfred."
...
Alfred seems to release a sigh, "Indeed."
Afton smirks and shakes his head, walking into the next room and sitting on the coach while looking over the various personality chips... It seems he had slightly misjudged his [Mechanicus] Perk, as one chip seemed to be completely repaired.
[Light Switch 01 Personality Module]
...
Now he just needed to find out which light switch this one belonged to... He glances up at the wall and looks at the closest one, "Might as well start here." he mutters, shrugging to himself.
He slides the chip into it and immediately a feminine voice begins talking, "Mhmm, Hmm? Full functionality restored? H-how long have I been inactive?" she mutters.
"No idea, all I know is that Dr. Klein apparently tossed you out of the balcony... I've been doing my best to repair you guys." he says, not bothering to tell the light switch that he'd just been letting their chips automatically repair in his pocket...
"Hey, hey, hey! Is that you over there Light switch?" Jefferson's voice asks from behind him.
"Oh. It's you. What do you want?" the Light switch retorts angrily.
"Oh, nothin'. Just wanted to hear the sound of your sweet, sweet voice."
"Yeah? Well, I bet you'd know about 'sweet voices' when you were flirting with the other Light switch! We are literally in the same room, did you think I wouldn't hear you!" she shouts, aggrieved... Apparently, Jefferson had been switching from, eh, Light switches...
"Come on baby! I swear it won't happen again!"
"Only because she's not online right now... But I know you'll do the same when she is. Hmph!"
While this peculiar couple fight is interesting to observe, Afton still needed to figure out what functions the Light switch actually served. "Ahem!" He coughs into his fist, "We weren't done talking yet, once I'm gone you guys can argue all you want... For now, what functions do you serve, Light switch?" he asks.
"Now that we aren't being interrupted by that Cheater!... I'll explain. Dr. Mobius and I were deeply involved in research on the ability of light levels to enhance human cognition."
"Oh? Find anything substantial?" he asks, intrigued on where such research could go.
"We observed a fascination phenomenon. Certain spectra of visible light actually increased cognitive function and reasoning ability." the Light switch explains before continuing with a giggle, "Of course, Dr. Mobius' brain is so big already, we had a hard time measuring it."
"That sounds... Remarkable. Could you show me?" he asks.
"I can. Activating Smart lights." she states, as all the lights in the sink turn a peculiar yellow colour. At first he didn't notice anything, until a notification came up in his peripheral.
[Smart Light Activated, +2 Intelligence, +5 Science, +5 Repair, for 12 hours.]
After reading this, Afton raises a brow. This was incredible, all of those bonuses for just adjusting the colour of lights? It sounds almost preposterous, and he wouldn't believe it if the notification hadn't just told him so.
This boosted his Intelligence to 8, and would allow any research done in here to gain significantly more results as opposed to what he'd manage outside. "This is incredible..." he mutters.
"I know. Dr. Mobius intrusted this research to me, we had such a good relationship before he left... A shame... Perhaps we could pick up where he left off?" she asks sweetly, "Would you be interested in talking about theorems?"

บท 296: COMMIE!
Afton raises a brow, feeling as if he was being hit on by the Light switch... It didn't feel right, not only because it was literally a machine, but also because her ex-boyfriend Jefferson was literally watching this behind him... You know what they say, bro's before Light switches. "Er, I'm willing to research topics with you, but anything more than that is a no-go."
"Oh?... Well that's fine."
"Ah, right... Do you have a name I can call you? It's a bit awkward calling you 'Light switch'."
"Not that I am aware of, would you give me a name?" she asks sweetly.
Afton shrugs, "Er, sure... How about... Lumina?"
"Ah, as in Lumen, which means 'light' in Latin? That is acceptable." she says, but Afton had just randomly picked a name, not expecting it to suit her so well.
"Right... Well, I'd appreciate if you kept the Smart light on... I'll leave you and Jefferson to work out your problems now... Try and keep the racket down though." he says, walking into the main room where Alfred is, already hearing the two personalities arguing behind him.
"I see you've reactivated yet another personality, sir. I would have recommended you wait until other more reasonable personalities were active before turning on both of those jaded lovers, but it is rather too late for that now."
"Hm, my bad... Are you going to have an aneurysm if I activate the other Light switch?" he asks, semi-sarcastically.
"No sir, I am entirely robotic and cannot have aneurysms... However, I fear my processors may self destruct if you reactivate the other Light switch without any of the other mediating personalities. It will already be hard enough listening to their petty squabbling."
"I'll keep that in mind, Alfred. Anyway, I'll be heading down to the Think Tank, let me know if anything comes up."
"I'll aspire to do that, sir."
Afton nods and heads downstairs to the Think Tank, entering the dome and glancing at the scientists who were currently milling around conducting experiments. He walks over to Dr. 8 and shows the box to him, "I was forced to use it earlier, think Mobius will notice it?" he asks.
"*Mhmm, perhaps? It depends on various things. Do you think he was distracted at the time of use?*" 8 asks.
Afton thinks back and shakes his head, "No... I did destroy a couple hundred Robo-Scorpion though, maybe that'll draw his attention for now?"
Dr. 8 shakes his chassis, "*No, Mobius is not a fool, if something is capable of interfering with his Robo-Scorpions so severely, he'd quickly attempt to fix it. It would be fairly easy to fix as well, if he simply stopped communicating with his creations over the radio, we'd be hard-pressed to find another weakness.*"
Afton shrugs, "Well, anyway, thanks for your help. If you need anything just let me know." he says, walking away as 8 waves him off with a manipulator.
Afton starts walking up to where Klein is, the robot still wearing the large ear muffs, despite the fact Jefferson had stopped playing music many hours ago. "Klein?" he asks, obviously not getting a reaction due to the scientists ear muffs... He reaches up and taps Klein on the back, causing the scientist to jolt in surprise and rapidly spin round, a laser cannon sprouting from the back of his robotic body and pointing directly at Afton.
"AH! LOBOTOMITE!? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? WAS THAT AN ATTEMPT TO... KILL ME!?"
...
Afton taps his ears non-comitally, causing Klein to realise he was still wearing the ear muffs... He throws them off with a manipulator while still pointing the cannon at Afton. "EXPLAIN!"
"Have you forgotten? I literally cannot attempt to harm you due to the pacification field..."
...
"OH!... OF COURSE I KNEW THAT!.... WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he quickly asks after stowing away the laser cannon.
"I was making sure you received the schematic of the stealth suit. So... Did you.?"
"AH YES, WE RECEIVED IT THE MOMENT YOU LEFT THE X-13 FACILITY... I SEE YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING THE PHYSICAL ONE AS WELL. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO YOUR TERMS! SUCH TECHNOLOGY IS TOO MUCH FOR A SIMPLY BRAINLESS TOOL SUCH AS YOURSELF!" Klein complains, but makes no move to try and take the stealth suit from him.
"Yeah, well, the armour will help in gathering the last piece of technology, so stop your bitching." Afton says. "Speaking of that, do you have any advice on how best to approach X-8?"
"I AM NO A TOUR GUIDE, I AM THE HEAD RESEARCHER! IF YOU WANT TO FLAP YOUR ORIFICE THEN GO TALK TO DALA OR BOROUS, THE LATTER MIGHT ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE X-8 FACILITY." he states, turning around and beginning to ignore Afton.
"Alright. I guess..." he mutters as he begins walking over to Dr. Borous, who, funnily enough, he hadn't actually properly spoken to yet.
Before Afton is even able to say anything, Borous was already speaking, "The LOBOTOMITE animal before me! You may be able to hide it, but I KNOW you are one of those animals or communists... Communist ANIMAL, perhaps!? Be WARNED! Attempt to 'propaganda me, and I will SHRIEK as a frightened babe, calling all my loyal Cyberdogs to my aid. Do you comprehend, commie animal?"
Afton raises a brow at this rather hostile greeting, he could already feel twinges in his head due to the pacification field... "Dr. Borous, I assure you I am not a communist. In fact, I'll prove it to you, by saying things that a communist would never dare utter... " Afton looks around conspiratorily, and Borous leans in as if a great secret was about to be told, "Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong can all eat fat ghoul dicks... Individual rights trump the collective. And the greater good means nothing." he states.
Borous slowly backs away, "You... I see I was MISTAKEN! You are no communist ANIMAL... Merely just a regular ANIMAL!"
Afton shrugs at that, "I can't really dispute that, human are animals after all. Even you Borous, your human brain makes you at least part-animal."
