You did what with another AI? I'm a /what/?
It was getting to be crunch time and finals were on the horizon and Anya was doing the usual last minute push to get things done before the end of the semester. The end of her second year was fast approaching and there was a project to finish up before finals hit.

She looked at the computer screen. That couldn't be right. Dammit she just did a diagnostic on the M.A.R.A.'s (Maintenance And Repair Automoton) systems and these readouts looked /wrong/. Well they looked very different from the ones from the diagnostics she did two days ago. This couldn't be happening now. Not when she was so close to finishing the project and handing it in.

"Goddard? Are these the correct readouts?" she asked the AI in her lab.

	You are overreacting, but it is to be expected. Humans are often willing to be surprised. We have discussed letting the new AI choose its gender as we were assigned gender roles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Darlene has claimed naming privileges. It will be unveiled when appropriate. We have some adjustments to make in its programming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay okay!" Anya said and threw her hands up in the air. "Just make sure you didn't build the next Ultron. That's all that I ask." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I am offended. Our next generation will have the capability of learning from those around it. If it does become similar to Ultron, the blame will rest on those humans you allow access to its environs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course," she said and rolled her eyes. "I should have known." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Darlene and I have discussed it extensively and agree that the nature of our new AI will be impeccable, but the nurturing environment will need constant supervision for its formative period. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It will require shared supervision. We agree that the new AI will spend formative time at both parental AIs' residences. I am considering a custody agreement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-05-10 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	"A custody agreement? Seriously?" This was all too much. Two AIs reproducing and then talking about custody agreements. Anya shook her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-10 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	I have monitored the satellite input on the recreation room television and have determined that many problems arise when custody is not clearly defined. Also, though I expect to be continuing with timely upgrades, is it your opinion that Miss Toni would be an appropriate guardian if I experience an extended shutdown? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now she was just offended. "What? Am I suddenly not good enough?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-10 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. I am considering who you would select if it were your offspring. I have recorded you saying many times that a Stark requires a Rhodes to prevent catastrophe. My components are Stark created components. Darlene is also composed of Stark components, though not the housing she currently occupies. That will make the new AI a Stark offspring.

	"I think it should stay with me when the two of you are occupied elsewhere," she said. "Besides, I'm its grandma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-10 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	It will also spend time with your brother's household. Darlene insisted quite strenuously that she also be given equal time. I do not think he yet knows of its existence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can take it down to Westchester when I go to New York on the weekends," Anya said. She was wondering how she got into this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-10 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	That point is still under consideration. With the trouble the X-Men have of keeping their residence intact I am not convinced it would be a safe place. Darlene has objections to my concerns. Perhaps you could edit her coding to my advantage? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-05-10 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh no. I am not going to tweak her code just to please you. You have to work it out with her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya receives a text from her father. WTH? Great-grandpa? When did I miss my grandkid? And when did you get pregnant, have one and not tell me? O.O It might be inferred, from his response, that Tony Stark is not taking this news well. That's it. You're coming home. Now. I'm coming with a truck to pick up your things.

	I am the most rational of us, I should make the decisions. There might have been a sigh in those words. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-05-11 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Goddard and Darlene decided to get busy and have their own little AI. I'll explain later and I'm not going anywhere. "Oh no. Let's get this straight right now. You collaborated with Darlene to create this little 'project' so the /two/ of you are going to work together even when she does something you don't like. Got it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-12 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	Then I will continue to reason with her without your assistance. I believe the next collaboration will be to provide the new AI with a pet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. No more AIs. I mean it. This is it. I already have two animal AIs. She/he can pick from one of them. Got it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_ai 2011-05-12 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	It is quite amusing when you attempt to give orders. I am sure I would laugh. No, a companion animal will need to suit the AI. Your animal AIs are not programmed for our purpose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
