Thread: THP: The Dividing Line (Start-Up)

"Yes. Are you fine now?"

"I'm not sure. In fact, I'm certain of nearly nothing at all..."

Ace sighed. "Are you hungry or anything?"

Ozira finally reached ground level, only to find that she was very near a huge gang of merges and Pokémon Trainers (not the shoe sort). "Who? What? When? Why? Where?" She cried, completely confused, "Really who are you people?"

Tau-3: Detecting corrupted data within two miles, extremely close to the translation point.
Tau-1: Statement: I fail to see the significance of this.
Tau-3: Observation: This data has no containment; it is physical.
Tau-1: Statement: I can detect the same thing.
Tau-6: Affirmative, I am picking up the same signals.
Tau-2: Affirmative. Observation: This should be impossible. Recommendation: Investigate.
Tau-1: Affirmative. Recommendation converted to order. Command: Units 2 and 4 will investigate.
Tau-2: Affirmative.
Tau-4: Affirmative. The Swampert Merge and Venusaur Merge began to walk towards the mansion again.
Tau-1: Observation: We require verbal identification. Statement: I will be called as 'Adrian'.
Tau-2: Statement: 'Bonelle'.
Tau-3: Statement: 'Calvin'.
Tau-4: Statement: 'Delmer'.
Tau-5: Statement: 'Edan'.
Tau-6: Statement: 'Fred'. Adrian scowled at Tau-6. This time, he didn't communicate with bluetooth.
"Observation: That name is incompatible. You are female. Command: Pick another name."
Tau-6: Statement: 'Fronda'.
"Observation: Name compatible. Accepted," Adrian droned, "Command: Wait for Units 2 and 4."
"Affirmative," Calvin, Edan and Fronda responded as monotonously as their leader.

Ozias introduced Ozira to the others with telepathy. "We have a few events done with. But those six Merges..." Emily was deep in thought.
"Who are those people, Ozias?"
"People? No. They aren't people at all. They're military units. Judging by the looks of them, late 31st century, developed by U.H. Laboratories. Which is bad."
"U.H.?"
"Ursula Haldon. No doubt she sent them personally to be rid of me. I've caused some... issues for them in the past."
"Why?"
"Half Project research. They found some and used it. I had to stop them. As if there weren't enough Merges in that time already!" Then something dawned on him. "Their objectives will be to kill me and my allies. And if they find that they share a common goal with A-II..."

Laura went and sat down in a corner and fell asleep.

Bonelle was hiding in the grass, Delmer in the water.
Tau-4: Target located.
Tau-2: Affirmative. Observation: Target has allies. Recommendation: Do not engage. Conclusion: Concentrating on secondary mission parameters.
Tau-4: Affirmative. Concentrating on secondary parameters.
Tau-2: Locating data entity. Recommendation: Dig.
Tau-4: Affirmative. The two Dug underground, coming up outside the mansion. Bonelle rang the doorbell.
Tau-2: Recommendation: Assume humanoid state.
Tau-4: Affirmative. The two did so, almost instantly appearing human.

The two apparently didn't notice the giant Merge outside the mansion. "What are you doing?"

At that point, Bonelle's CPU ran a program allowing her to choose the most logical action possible.

=POSSIBLE ACTIONS=
1. Declare intentions (23%)
2. Attack [WARNING: TARGET EMANATING EXTREME ENERGY READINGS, 88% CHANCE OF DEFEAT] (6%)
3. Lie and act as a human (71%) What she hadn't run through, however, was the possiblity that Infinity may have seen them become human.

"We have been invited here. You are particularly tall, are you not?" Bonelle said, monotonously as usual.

"Uh, yeah. So, I assume my parents invited you?"

"Affirmati-- ...Yes."

"You can go on in, I guess." Infinity suddenly shook her head, frowning. "I know who you two are. You killed my sisters."

Tau-4: Observation: She has identified us. It is illogical to continue our attempt to deceive her.
Tau-2: Affirmative.

"Negative," Delmer stepped forward, "We are, however, in a squadron with Tau-6, referred to verbally as Fronda, who is the unit that killed the only two people in this time deceased due to us as of yet. It is, therefore, logical to assume that these two were your sisters. The death of your relatives was unintentional, and an oversight on her part."

"Huh. Not sure what to say to that..."

"Unless you require further information, no further communication is neccessary," Bonelle stated.
