Futuristic Fate of the Stars of Life (EPISODE 2: Space Piracy)

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Yeah. I guess. Speaking of which, I've started designing your new body, but I want you to customize it a little. Would you mind coming with me to my quarters? The prototypes are in there." He writes, and gestures for them to leave.

 

[BoltBeam]

"Absolutely. Lead the way." Kokoro said eagerly, agreeing on the motion to leave aandgo to Lux's quarters to see the prototypes in question.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nods, and turns and walks away towards his quarters. Once they get there, he opens the door to reveal an extremely minimalistic room, with about 3 suits of varying parts and sizes along the wall, but they all have the general shape of Kokoro.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro looked upon them and smiled. Three possible future designs laying right before her. Words cannot express how eager she looks. "They look promising indeed... and these are the prototypes? I'd assume, in order to make the final version, you'd need my input and cooperation, yes?"

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"That's correct. Your personalization and feedback are essential to the final product. I made these with some spare parts, and a little bit of chemistry to stretch the metal. Please take control of the one on the left, please. It might be a little heavy, but the most sturdy." He writes, and gets ready to take notes.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro proceeded to vanish and possess that designated prototype, and made an attempt to get up and assess how it felt on her - what it was made of.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Try to move around. The joints should be good enough." He writes and puts it in front of the metallic face and eyes for her to see.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro attempted to move. "It feels sturdy alright... feels a bit stiff to move, but at least I can move..." Kokoro shrugged, not sure what to make of it.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Let's see if the touch sensors work. Tell me if you can feel what I do." He writes, and runs his hand down the arm, and around the neck. He made the effort to put more sensors in typically more sensitive places so everything is more true to life for her.

 

[BoltBeam]

Oh, she could feel it alright. Just light tickles along the arm, and similar on the neck which ensued a natural reaction to keep moving. It tickled, kinda. Yep. It works.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Excellent. If I get access to lighter alloys, and better joints, as well as more sensors, I can make you a perfectly functioning body." He writes, and gestures for her to possess the next suit.

 

[BoltBeam]

She nodded, leaving prototype 1 and entering prototype 2. She would then ensue to stand up and get a bit of movement. "This feels kinda nice... Plenty of space to move in, relatively light... nice."

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Try jumping, and overall balance tests. I need to see it's capabilities, as well as sensitivity." He writes, and runs his hand to her neck, face, arm, and back.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro seemed to still feel just as well as the previous one, and gave a few balances a try, as well as jumping about. Seems pretty good!

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nods, taking a few more notes. "Try the third one, please. I lined the interior with cotton balls for your comfort. This is also the best of the 3, and the one that will eventually be the final product." He shows her the pad, and pushes the suit back against the wall.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro nods eagerly, going from prototype 2 to prototype 3. Upon entering and standing, she seems to be in maximum comfort.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He tests the sensors all over the suit. "Try movement. It should be the smoothest and most comfortable." He writes, and taking more notes.

 

[BoltBeam]

Guess what, it worked just as well as number 2 did overall, and she does indeed still feel it all!

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nods, and takes more notes. "Which is the best suit, Kokoro?" He writes, gesturing for her to test all of the small joints like fingers and toes and such.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro gave it a movement test. Pretty average, not bad. "It's this one, without a doubt. Thanks again for this." She said, giving off a visible smile, as her whole figure was indeed visible in there.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Of course. I'm sorry I haven't gotten all of the minute(small) details of the face and such. Are there any and all personalizations to the suit you want me to make to it? Hair, color, aesthetic, size, etc." He writes, and lets her have more fun touching things with the suit.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro thought on it. She smiled. "I think we may need to work together on it, but I'm kind of thinking of it looking like myself... if you get my thinking, if there's a physical shell like that suit that looks like me, and I'm in it, it'll make the illusion that I was never dead. Of course, by work together, I'll want to share the required details. You up for this?"

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"Yes. This is going to be one of my most interesting technological innovations." He writes and gestures for her to leave the suit.

 

[BoltBeam]

The suit was left lifeless as Kokoro left it and appeared in front of it, a minor spark ablaze so she is seen. She's smiling, and also what looked like crying. Ghostly tears. "I am really excited for how this will turn out, Lux. I really owe you one for this..."

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"You owe me nothing." He writes simply and starts taking more notes. "Oh. I also designed something for you. You seem to emit a very small wavelength that few things in this universe can achieve. I believe I can make things that you can hold in ghost form." He writes, holding up a pencil with a weird cover on it. He holds it out to her.
