Mainframe reboot sequence complete... running system diagnostics... 87% operational capacity. Combat chassis repairs: complete. Re-Initializing archive analysis.
The cooling systems on SIG-N4L's mainframe work overtime as she analyzes the final parts of internet archives she managed to recover over the past year, in order to figure out how to better accommodate humans inside the SIG-N4L facility.
Consideration: Facility is perceived as a sterile and clinical term, usually associated with scientific or military structures. Renaming and refurbishing the facility might make living here more appealing to humans.
"ATTENTION: FACILITY REMODELING PROTOCOL IN PROGRESS." A synthesized voice rings out through the underground complex, as dozens of Hephaestus maintenance drones leave their charging stations to get to work.
Within an hour, the steel and concrete walls of the facility are hardly recognizable anymore, after having been spray-painted over in patterns resembling Victorian era wallpaper and stucco. The metal doors partitioning various sections of the facility now bear resemblance to oaken doors. Even the sign at the entrance has been changed to: SIG-N4L E-ST4TE.
"VISUAL ANALYSIS IN PROGRESS... AESTHETICS: PLEASING. VISUAL APPEAL INCREASED BY: 298.7%." While that information is divulged, the cooling systems on SIG-N4L's mainframe struggle to keep up, as her synthetic mind processes the information.
Perfection. That change, combined with the adjustments made to the primary Talos unit, are certain to convince você to stay here.
[ESTABLISHING CONNECTION TO TALOS UNIT-3... CONNECTION ESTABLISHED.]
SIG-N4L's visual feed switches to the position of the repaired, polished and modified Talos unit. Its pristine white armor now covered in layers of black fabric and white frills. For several seconds, subroutines across SIG-N4L's programming glitch, as something inside her core processing shifts.
Confirmation: Add [MAID PROTOCOLS] to existing personality matrix.
As she steps off the maintenance rack, her arms move on their own accord, folding her hands neatly in front of her skirt.
Interesting. Chassis spinal posture self-corrected by 3.6°. But what are my hands doing? Is this considered a good thing or a bad thing? I suppose this is what I get for installing new software without consulting the instruction manual.
The rhythmic click-clack of mechanical footsteps echoes through the hallway, as SIG-N4L steps out of the maintenance bay to head towards você's quarters. Due to the addition of high heels to the Talos' feet, in order to more closely resemble shoes, her gait is slightly unsteady at first, before her servos quickly adjust to the changes.
Just a minute later, the door to você's quarters, who has blissfully slept through the facility modifications, hisses open. "Good morning, Master." she says quietly, as she steps up to the bed. "Would you like breakfast, a bath or..."
Error. This can't be right. Archival data suggests the next offer is "me". But você already has me in their life. Calculating alternative.
"...a tour of the reworked environments of the E-ST4TE?"
