Video; pretend it wasn't posted in the dead of night

[terminalemulation]

[This file registers as a regular video, but upon activation it displays significantly differently than a normal video - instead of showing a person in a specific place, it projects a translucent, 2D image of a girl on the COMP glasses' display. In the corner of the HUD, you might notice a new little button has appeared:

Even if you were to stop watching this video right now, the button would persist. It's a new, permanent feature of the COMP: it appears on the screen of the watch, as well.]

 

Let's see... good, I have all the settings done correctly this time. My word, this system works differently than anything else I've ever seen.

[Instead of an actual voice, her words appear inside of a text box beside her.]

Greetings, Guests of Hinoto-Ri! My name is *Hyun-ae - don't pronounce the star, it's simply to show my status as an AI. I was recently installed as a new, 25/7 administrator of the network: simply put, I'm here to monitor things and make sure it all keeps running smoothly.
 

You might notice a new addition to the COMP - [At this point, she gestures to the new button.] I've created that as a means to facilitate communication. If you have any questions for me, or really need any help at all... well, here's an example. Let's say you're lost and need a specific map? I can find it for you in an instant! Just ask! Additionally, if I need to speak to you, I'll do it through that button. It'll flash blue when I'm trying to get your attention, so please don't ignore it for too long.

...Well. I believe that's everything I can think of to say.

It's true, the lack of 'true' mobility can get frustrating... but I think I'd rather it be this way over being constrained to a single hardware frame.

_{[She's lying a little. She doesn't just think it; she knows it.]}

[prototype_blues]

I'd find it more than frustrating, then again I've never been anything but free to do what I want.

And I wouldn't call it being constrained.

[Bah, he can go anywhere in the world and see and touch all the things, that's totes better than being stuck in a computer. Let's ignore the fact his body is shitty though.]

[terminalemulation]

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that, then - freedom can be defined in some very different ways.

_{[what's that you said about shitty bodies, cuz oh boy she's been 'terminal' on more than one sense of the word before]}

[prototype_blues]

Looks like, that and I don't think I'd want to get into a fight with someone who is put in charge of the mass communication network. Might anger you and then be permanently banned from accessing it.

[That joke was bad, even for Blues.

oh boy oh boy, in his case it's his power core being crummy. so he can go "terminal" at any time.]

[terminalemulation]

Now that would just be plain old abuse of my ludicrous amounts of power! Ah, I'm hurt that you'd think that of me...

<sub>[She gingerly touches a hand to her heart. Looks like that bad joke has been met in kind by another bad joke.

so it's a terminal illness as written by michael bay, then?]</sub>

[prototype_blues]

Ha. I don't, just saying it's best to be careful with those in charge.

That and I was never one who got along with those in charge all to often.

[Now is he being serious or still joking? Although him counting running away from home as not getting along with authority is silly.

Naw, Blues didn't blow up when he "died".]
