Solid Light Studying

[Aquamarine]

As Aquamarine lied down in her jail cell while waiting for her jail time to be up, she started to think about the events that led up to her being arrested and put into jail for at least half a year. She knew that even though she managed to help save things on Tier One with Repliku earlier by defeating one of the Heartless, she still ended up being arrested due to ending up causing a scene, and because of this she ended up in this jail cell. And while the Gem did find the jail cell to be a bit more roomy then what she was expecting, she still was a bit frustrated that she ended up being stuck in this place.

And the worst part of all this was that something was wrong with her wand, since the gravity manipulation that allowed her to move things with her wand was on the fritz. While she could probably still create Blinding Balls and do other things with it, one of her most useful assets to the Tractor Beam Wand was no longer working, a fact that put a bit of worry on Aquamarine in the long run. As she continued to wait for something to happen from the other side of the bars, Aquamarine tried balancing her wand on her head, trying to ease her worry and boredom while inside the jail cell.

Eventually though, someone approached by Aquamarine's jail cell, wearing a tuxedo with the Empire's logo on the front, and unlocked Aquamarine's jail cell. Aquamarine, unsure of what was happening, said "So who are you supposed to be? Are you going to end up being my lawyer, or are you guiding me to a different cell because I ended up violating some other law while in this cell? Either way, I would like to know your name, just in case." As Aquamarine continued to wait for the person to speak to her, she watched his mannerisms carefully, to make sure that he was not going to attack her.

After listening to what Aquamarine had to say, the person simply sighed a bit before saying "I am not a lawyer, and I am not a guard here to escort you to a new cell. You can simply call me Dr. Sabant, and I am bailing you out from here, since you have piqued the Empire's, or at least my interest, since we have been watching you since before you started fighting those things on Tier One, and I would like to take you to my lab for further studies. After all, how often do I get to study a creature as peculiar as you?"

"First of all, I am a Gem, not a creature, and secondly what piqued your interest? Was it the wand? Cause if it was,
well then I have some bad news for you, since my wand seems to have something wrong with it's main function of gravity manipulation." As Aquamarine said those words, she showed a small, but noticable frown on her face as she continued to talk to this "Dr. Sabant" person.

"No, not that. I was referring to the Gem-like thing on your body and your peculiar hard light body that you have mentioned of while we have been watching you, and that is what we are interested in. We would like to study this hard light body of yours, and see how well it can manage to a new Cold Gun we are developing for our Stormtroopers to use, so we can try to perfect it to work on even hard light." At this point, Dr. Sabant grabbed some sort of weird gun that Aquamarine did not understand and started to show it to her, before continuing with "We will even let you keep one of these prototypes and help around with some Empire stuff if you end up behaving well while we study you. Are you ready to leave for the lab now?"

Fortunately for the doctor, Aquamarine ended up accepting to be studied, though not for the reasons that Dr. Sabant expected. Aquamarine, after hearing about being experimented on due to her hard light body, was wondering on why someone would question her on that, since on Homeworld it just ended up being seen as a normal thing that rarely needed a explanation. And while she was not that curious about studying her hard light body, she was pretty curious about helping the Empire, since Aquamarine wondered why the scientist would mention a thing, since he had only rarely mentioned the Empire before.

As Aquamarine agreed to go with the scientist to be studied, the two quickly walked out of the jail, and as Aquamarine saw Sabant's car, she was a bit surprised at what she saw. The car was basically a very advanced limo that streched out a long distance, and it seemed on the inside to have a gold plated flooring on the inside. As Aquamarine sat on the inside of the limo while waiting for Dr. Sabant to drive, she quickly glanced at the jail she was formerly in, and thought about the Shadow Stalker and Dark Side that had managed to cause all these events earlier today, before she and Dr. Sabant ended up beginning their drive to the lab, where she was to be tested at.

This is also how I will be able to get the Empire Cold Gun Prototype and all moves I will purchase that use it, so once I get the prototype IC, I will be able to use those moves.

[Aquamarine]

As the limo continued to drive torwards it's destination, Aquamarine took time to relax on her seat as she viewed the scenery that the limo was passing by, but as she enjoyed the scenery she wondered what would happen once she begun testing. She knew that she would be testing some sort of Cold Gun, but she was unsure of how it would work or what would happen once it hit her, whether it would be instant or slow freezing, and she was not sure if other tests were going to be done on her hard light body after Sabant was done testing the Cold Gun on her. While these questions were on her mind, Aquamarine continued to look around.

Eventually, the limo had finally reached it's destination, and as Aquamarine exited the limo, she was impressed as Sabant showed her around the lab. The lab was filled with various mechanical marvels and machines specifically by the Empire, each more complex and more appealing to the Gem then the last, though as she and Sabant walked through the halls of the lab the other scientists would give her only a glance, as it seemed to her that the other scientists did not trust her. Eventually, Sabant led Aquamarine to the direct center of the lab, guiding her to a seat to sit down at.

Now handing the cold gun prototype to Aquamarine, Dr. Sabant quickly said to the Gem "Now that we are here, we should probably start the testings. Now the first thing I want you to do is to aim the cold gun at one of your limbs, and lightly shoot the gun at one of them. The gun will not be able to hurt you, or at least we hope it will not hurt you, but we should probably warn you that if it works properly and does not short out, that limb will basically be frozen over and will probably be hard to move around. Are you sure that you will be okay with this?"

As Aquamarine listened to the doctor's explanation on what she would have to do, she was a bit worried on the potential of the Cold Gun Prototype hurting her hard light body, but those worries were minimal since she can always create another hard light body if it ended up being destroyed, or at the least she assumed that the Omniverse would let her work like that. "Yes, I am ready for this, but I was expecting that someone else was going to fire this at me. Either way, please hand me the gun so I may begin this."

After being handed the Empire Cold Gun Prototype from Dr. Sabant, Aquamarine took her time to look at the gun first to observe it before she was going to use it on herself. From the outside of the gun, it appeared to look similar to a everyday pistol, albeit made out of silver and having small containers built onto the side of it, but as she looked into the inside of the gun, it looked more like a cyclotron rather than a gun, though it seemed to have a very small hole in the middle, which she assumed where the cold would come from once the cold gun was triggered. Aiming the Empire Cold Gun Prototype at one of her legs, Aquamarine quickly and finally fired the cold gun.

When the mixture that was released from firing the cold gun collided with her left leg, the mixture quickly froze upon contact with the leg, containing it in a heavy frozen shell, and while the coldness did not hurt, it did hamper her leg a bunch. As she tried to move around the leg, she struggled a bit as the ice seemed to be very heavy, though eventually the ice managed to melt after a few seconds. A bit frustrated with how the freezing properties of the cold gun, Dr. Sabant grabbed the gun back and tried to open up the containers on the side of the cold gun to see what could be done to the mixture to extend the freeze time.

As Sabant was observing the mixture, Aquamarine was naturally curious to see what the mixture looked like before being fired, and as she observed the cold gun's mixture, she saw some sort of blue water-like material, which she was curious about since she was wondering on how it could freeze so quickly once it came into contact with something. While Aquamarine was observing the mixture, Dr. Sabant slowly isolated a small amount of liquid from the container and started to add small samples to the isolated mixture to change it up a bit.

After a few minutes of this, Aquamarine was bored of waiting for Sabant to be done, and as she put on a small smile she asked the doctor "So anyway, what other tests do you have in store for me? I believe you mentioned that testing the cold gun was not the only test, and that you were going to be testing the capabilities of my hard light body, so I am curious of what other tests have to offer." As Aquamarine said those words, she helped Dr. Sabant close up the containers on the sides of the gun, since the doctor already had the isolated bit of mixture that he had needed.

As Aquamarine continued to look at the Empire Cold Gun Prototype as she closed it, she was reminded by Dr. Sabant that she could keep one of the prototypes, and as she grabbed one of the prototypes and stored it within her Gem, she thought on what she could use it on after she was done with all of the tests and once she could try to work for the police force in this Verse. She could probably use it to help trip up people by freezing their legs, she could freeze their arms to prevent them from punching, and so on. Despite that though, as Dr. Sabant put the isolated sample, now finished on being modified and now being stored within a capsule, into his pocket, Aquamarine put her focus back on the other tests.

"So Sabant, you said there were going to be other tests after the Cold Gun was finished being tested, so what other tests are there going to be? I assume they will have to do with what you said earlier about my hard light body, but other than that you have said nothing about what kind of tests that they were going to be. So what exactly are these tests going to be?" As Aquamarine said those words, she practiced pulling the Cold Gun she had stored inside of her Gem, to make sure that when she needed it most, that she would be able to pull it out of her Gem with ease.

"Yes the other tests will be talked about when their time comes, but for now we should focus on the next test that is required, which I have named as the Conductor Machine. Come, walk with me." Walking with Dr. Sabant, Aquamarine continued to see through the halls into a newer hall of the lab, and as she looked around, she noticed some weird pipe work as she walked through a certain section of the wall, with more and more of these pipes appearing as she got closer to the location of the next test. By the time Dr. Sabant finished leading Aquamarine to the room of the next test, all of the walls were covered in pipes, and a strange device was located in the middle of the room.

"Now Aquamarine, if you may, please place both of your hands on the machine, so that we may try to send small shocks throughout your body to conduct electricity. After all, this test is to see if this hard light is conductive or not, and if it is then it could be used for a wide variety of things once we can learn how to control it. While Dr. Sabant was saying those words, he gave a example of the machine by placing both of his hands on the machine before letting it send electricity throughout him. As the electricity spread through him from one hand to the other, his body shook from the slight pains of the electricity, though as it flowed out the other hand it continued through the machine to a small bulb, which lit up a bit.

After Dr. Sabant was done showing what would happen, he slowly walked away, before telling Aquamarine to try it herself. As the Gem slowly walked torwards the machine to test out on what would happen, she was a bit nervous on what would happen, since she was not sure whether being shocked by the static electricity coming from the machine would be like getting hit by a Gem Destabilizer, or if it would be like being hit by Yellow Diamond's very own lightning, but either way if being hit by this electricity were like either of those things, she was worried that she would poof right in front of Dr. Sabant, and from there it would be over.

As she put her hands on the machine, Aquamarine waited for a bit for the electricity to come, but as Dr. Sabant turned the machine on again and electricity flowed throughout her body, Aquamarine was a bit underwhelmed. The electricity coming from the machine was nowhere near as strong as she thought, and while it did make her shake a bit from the sudden flow of electricity, it was not nearly enough to cause her to poof. As the electricity flowed into and out of her body and made the bulb light up, she sighed in relief, now not worried over being poofed.

"Well I guess that means you are conductible then, but before we go on to the next test, would you like to hear a bit of history about this room before we move on? It will take a bit, but after that we will quickly continue on our way to the next test." After saying those words, Dr. Sabant quickly sat down and waited for Aquamarine. As she thought on what to say, Aquamarine decided that she had a lot of time to do these tests, so why not listen to some story about this room as well.

"Eh sure, why not. It's not like I have much else planned after these tests, so go ahead and tell me your story. For all I know, maybe it will be interesting?"

"Thank you Aquamarine. Now anyway, this room is actually the first room to be built in this lab, built during the first few years of Coruscant as the Omniverse was still being created. This room was originally built as a power plant to create energy throughout this city, but eventually we found more ways to easily power Coruscant, so it's been repurposed as a lab to study the laws of the Omniverse. Eventually, we built all of the other rooms within the lab, but this room is the exact origin of the laboratory that we are in right now Aquamarine. Well anyway, we should probably start heading to the next test."

As Dr. Sabant got up to start walking out of the room, Aquamarine quickly followed him, and as she thought about what the lab was like as it was being created, she smiled a bit, before continuing to walk torwards the next test.

While continuing to walk through the halls of the lab with Dr. Sabant, Aquamarine noticed from looking through one of the windows some sort of sealed off room with some sort of AI chip in the center, which itself was sealed in some sort of glass container. Wondering on what could be within the chip, she stopped walking for a bit and tugged on Dr. Sabant's coat, saying "Hey, excuse me Dr. Sabant, but what exactly is with the chip in that room over there. And why is the room and the chip sealed off from the rest of this lab?"

"Oh, that's just something we found down in T3 while one of our police officers was having a day off. The previous owner said it was something called a Machine Spirit, but when one of our data analyzers tried to scan it, the machine went a bit haywire and exploded, killing one of our scientists in the progress. For now we are still trying to scan it in a more safe manner." As he said these words, Dr. Sabant frowned a bit, which made Aquamarine wonder if the person killed from the explosion was one of the doctor's friends.

After the small discussion, Aquamarine looked at the data chip for a few more seconds, before continuing to walk with Dr. Sabant down the halls of the lab and on their way to the next test. As Aquamarine continued to look through more of the windows, she saw more complicated rooms and experiments, as well as rooms similar to the one that held the AI chip which were also sealed off, which contained mysterious machines, weird oddities, and in one room, a miniature sun hooked up to some solar panels. Despite being curious about each of the rooms, Aquamarine tried to ignore each of them as she continued to walk through the halls.

Eventually, as Aquamarine and Dr. Sabant finally arrived at the location of the next test, the Gem started to observe the area around her, making sure to try to get a idea before the doctor explained it to her. As she looked around the room, she saw some sort of pool of water built into the middle of the room, with a few fishes already swimming through it. As Aquamarine looked inside of the pool, she tapped the surface of the pool with the edge from one of her shoes, to try to make a tiny ripple in the water and to see if it was safe to go into.

After a bit, Dr. Sabant finally spoke, saying "Now Aquamarine, this next test is mainly a simple test compared to the next and last test we have for you, though you should probably switch into something more suited for water first. The test is for two different things, the first thing being what effects a liquid would have on a solid light body, and how long you can stay underwater before needing to come up for air. Once you are done changing clothes, please tell me so we can begin." Once he finished those words, Dr. Sabant turned around to make sure he did not see Aquamarine while she was changing.

To Dr. Sabant's surprise though, Aquamarine quickly said "Eh, no need for changing clothes now. Gems like me don't really need to change clothes since they usually dry up after a few seconds of contact with water, though our bodies are a different story." As Aquamarine prepared to enter the pool, she took a few seconds to think a bit on what else was after this, before hopping into the pool in a bit of a elegant style, leaving only a small ripple as she landed in the water and swam to the bottom of the pool.

As Aquamarine lied at the bottom of the pool, she swam a bit as Dr. Sabant took notes from outside of the pool, trying enjoy herself a bit as she tried to swim in various different styles. Thinking to herself, Aquamarine was a bit glad that Gems didn't really need to breathe underwater, so that meant that if she wanted to, she could probably stay underwater forever if she wasn't focused on completing these experiments as well as thinking about the AI chip from earlier. Continuing to swim around, Aquamarine swam in front of a fish to try to catch it, only to miss as the fish swam away rather quickly.

Around a hour later, Aquamarine got bored of swimming around, and as she swam upward to try to get out of the pool, she slowly got out and let her clothes dry very quickly, before drying her hands and arms using her own dress. As she walked to Dr. Sabant, she said to the doctor "Well, I'm bored with swimming around now, though I should let you know that if I wanted to, I could have stayed in that pool much longer than that. After all, us Gems don't need to breathe, so we can stay in places without air indefinitely, such as space or underwater. As Aquamarine quickly said those words, she was mainly waiting to hear what Dr. Sabant had to say.

"Thanks, Aquamarine. We have all the data we need on this test here, but before we leave do you think you could help me freeze the surface of the pool with your Cold Gun that I gave you? We usually close it with a force field to prevent any pollution from falling into the pool, but the force field broke last Tuesday so we need to freeze the pool to keep it from being polluted." Upon hearing those words, Aquamarine pulled out the Empire Cold Gun Prototype and tried freezing the surface of the pool with two shots, but despite the mixture hitting the water it simply sank down to the bottom without activating.

Taking notes, Dr. Sabant sighed before tapping a button on the side of the wall, activating a cold fan at the bottom of the pool which slowly froze the pool. As Aquamarine wondered why the mixture did not work on the water, she saw Dr. Sabant walk out of the room, and since she did not want to be left behind, Aquamarine followed the doctor out of the room. Now walking throughout the halls on the way to the last test, Aquamarine continued to think about the AI chip, and what could have happened to the Data Analyzer that was mentioned earlier to cause it to blow up.

As Aquamarine continued to walk with Dr. Sabant on the way to the final test, the two were surprised as a alarm went off, with a loud drilling sound happening shortly afterward. Quickly heading to the source of the sound, Aquamarine and Sabant saw that the once sealed off room containing the Machine Spirit AI chip had been broken in to, by some sort of masked creature with a propeller on his head, and a drill in his right arm. Before either of the two could get into the lab through the hole drilled through the sealed off entrance, the creature flied through the hole, trying to escape from the two.

"Ah, I may have been noticed in the end, but at the least I have this AI chip, and that's all that really matters to me.
Now try to catch me, if you can even get close to me!" As the masked creature tried to fly away using the propeller attached to his head, Aquamarine decided that she should probably take the simple solution, and as she took the Empire Cold Gun Prototype out again from her Gem, and tried to shoot it, only to see that it was empty, and needed to be reloaded. Quickly deciding to just reload the gun with Omnilium, since she did not see any of the mixture used in the gun nearby.

Thankfully, at around 7 seconds later Aquamarine finished reloading the gun, and as she tried to fire it at the masked creature, she thankfully hit the propeller of the creature, causing it to freeze up as the masked creature fell to the ground. Slowly walking up to the masked creature, Aquamarine pulled the creature up by it's propeller, before saying to the guy "If I was a officer here I would simply arrest you, but since I am not, I guess the best thing I can do for now is simply return the AI chip back to the lab. Before I leave you to either your arrest or death though, here's a bit of advice. Do not mess with the order of this Omniverse."

As Aquamarine tried to grab the AI chip though, the Machine Spirit AI chip seemed to shock her greatly as it began to dig within her hard light arm, as if it was somehow alive and sentient. Bonding to her arm, Aquamarine briefly turned completely white before fainting and returning to her natural blue skin tone, except for her right arm, which stayed a bright white due to the influence of the Machine Spirit. As Aquamarine lied unconscious on the floor, her dreams were of a silhouette of some bright, spirit-like creature, and a giant and imposing machine filled to the brim with weapons.

When she eventually came to, it was to her surprise that instead of Dr. Sabant being the first person that she would see upon being woke back up, it was instead some sort of old man of whom Aquamarine did not know. This man was the first one to respond, by saying "Ah good, you have finally woke up from whatever had caused you to faint. My name is Dr. Gero, and normally I prefer to stay out of the public to continue my studies for the Empire, but your body being bound by this AI chip was a genuine mystery to most of the scientists at the lab you were in, so they called me in to learn what had happened to you. Now, as far as I researched from the chip's data, the so-called "Machine Spirit" does seem to be sentient, though it does seem to have lost a lot of it's power from bounding itself into your hard light body."

Hearing these words coming from Dr. Gero only managed to bring up more questions in Aquamarine's mind, the first and most important of these questions being who the heck this Dr. Gero person was. She never heard of him from talking with Dr. Sabant, but from the way he was talking it seemed like he was the one in charge of these scientists, though she wondered on how such a old-looking man could still be working to this day. As she looked down at her right arm, Aquamarine saw that the Machine Spirit AI Chip was still on her arm, and as she looked to see what else had changed, she noticed that her entire arm up to her shoulder had turned white.

Curious on what else had happened, Aquamarine said to Gero "So that's what happened to me, huh. Well, do you have any explanation for why my arm has turned this shade of white, or how this AI chip bound itself to me in the first place? The first question is the more important one to me, since usually the color of a Gem's body is unable to change from the day we are made." As Aquamarine continued to talk to the doctor, she began to try to move her right arm, and while it seemed to be much lighter and easier to move than before, it still felt weird for the arm to move, as it gave Aquamarine a shake down her hard light spine.

"I'm sorry miss, but besides what we learned from the AI chip, we still have no idea of either of those things, since this is the first time something like this has happened. For now though, since you did help knock out that Propeller Guy that tried to steal from this lab earlier, how would you like to work for the Empire and try to stop some of the criminals of the lower Tiers like how you stopped the Propeller Guy?"

Thinking about what to say to Gero, Aquamarine decided that helping keep piece in the empire would probably be something easy to do while she was in the Omniverse, so she agreed to Dr. Gero's request to join the Empire, saying "Yeah, I guess I could join this Empire for now, after all I have nothing else to do besides lying here. Besides, before I came to this Omniverse I mainly did something similar to this under the work of the Diamonds, so nothing much is changing."

As she walked out of the lab after getting directions to where she could apply for a job as a officer, Aquamarine started to feel confident in herself, and by the time she made it to the police station and went through the long process of becoming a police officer of Coruscant, Aquamarine still continued to feel confident, though she was a bit worried on what else the Machine Spirit AI chip could do to her hard light body.

One week later...

As Aquamarine woke up in her office and started to prepare for her first day as a police officer, she was trying to focus to create a police uniform for herself, to make sure she looked proper for her first day. In the past week, not only did she get released from jail for testing and got a AI chip bound to her arm that she still did not know much about, but eventually she had managed to get a job working for the Empire as a police officer on Tier 1, and while she thought that it would seem a bit boring to work on one of the upper Tiers, she still was going to give it her all.

By the time she finished creating her new outfit, Aquamarine slowly took her time to admire it before putting it on. The police outfit was a simple police shirt with a badge on it to signify her role as a police officer, and a pair of long jeans, as well as a black undershirt to wear under her police uniform in case it got damaged in battle. As Aquamarine switched out of her dress and put on her new uniform, she took a bit of time to look at her right arm, still white from after it's pigment changed from the Machine Spirit AI Chip attaching itself to there, and while she was still curious on what was going on with the chip and her body, she still had no answers as to why these things were happening to her, so she let it go for now.

Walking out of the door, Aquamarine looked around the streets as she looked for any crime, but at the moment it seemed like nothing important was happening, so Aquamarine decided to take the time to head to the Library of Coruscant to try to read up more about the Omniverse. As she walked into the library, Aquamarine took her time to walk up to the non-fiction section, and as she browsed through the books while trying to look for a book to read, she thought to herself on what else she could do while at the library, before she eventually began reading.

Eventually, Aquamarine managed to find a book that looked interesting while browsing through the bookshelves, and as she picked out the book and looked at it, she thought to herself "Hmm... Maybe this book will satisfy my reading needs for today?
After all, it does look pretty classical and fancy for a non-fictional book." Placing the book on the table, Aquamarine began to read the book she picked out, which happened to be a book about the oil refineries and mines that had used to be owned by the Empire in the Endless Dunes. While the book was rather interesting for Aquamarine, the Gem really did not have a interest in the Endless Dunes at the moment, though she was a bit curious about the oil refineries that were no longer in use.

Before Aquamarine could put the book away though, she could hear gunfire from outside the library, and as she went outside to investigate she saw two more Propeller Guys wielding guns, who looked similar to the guy who attacked the lab a week ago. Pulling out her Empire Cold Gun Prototype, Aquamarine tried to fire two shots, one at each of the two guy's propellers, but the two had managed to dodge the fire by moving to the left. As the two fired at Aquamarine, she flapped her wings as hard as she could, launching the two Propeller Guys into the wall.

As the two Propeller Guys got up though, they began to talk to Aquamarine, saying in unison "Hey, that actually hurt a bit! When boss told us to avenge our fallen comrade by attacking those involved in his arrest, we thought it would be a cakewalk, but then you come and launch us into a wall! When we get back to boss, we are so going to have a talk with him!" While hearing those words, Aquamarine was curious on who they meant as boss and what connection they had with the Propeller Guy who attacked the lab, since she assumed that the guy was just a person working alone rather than just a pawn in some sort of group.

"That was a bit much to take in, but from what I could get from it you were working with that guy who attacked the lab I was in to be tested a week ago, right? Either way, I don't care, as your under arrest for illegal use of firearms and assisting fellow criminals." After finishing those words, Aquamarine pulled out her wand and began to focus energy into it to create a Blinding Ball. By the time she finished creating the ball of light, she quickly launched it at the one of the Propeller Guys, and as the one of them was launched back and both of them were blinded, she smiled a bit.

After blinding the Propeller Guys, Aquamarine then quickly jumped into the air and fired her third and last blast from the Empire Cold Gun Prototype, getting a direct hit on the propeller as it froze up. By the time she landed right behind the Propeller Guys she quickly grabbed out her handcuffs and cuffed one of the two Propeller Guys as they turned into her direction. As she jumped a second time to use the same trick on the other Propeller Guy, Aquamarine was happy at how far the police academy had made her progress in her jumping ability, since she could more easily gauge how high she should jump to use it to her advantage.

Once she was done cuffing the Propeller Guys, Aquamarine eventually called for the Stormtroopers to help take these Propeller Guys to jail, and as the Dramatic Irony Squad was beginning to load the criminals into containment cars, Aquamarine smiled as she saw the two criminals panic about being sent to jail. Before the Dramatic Irony Squad began to drive away to take them to jail, one of the Propeller Guys had began to speak to Aquamarine, saying "Oh, you think your so proud about catching us, and you think that with us gone there won't be as much crime for now. But the Propeller Wind Gang will live on, and we have one thing that you will never have, and that is our dignity!"

"Well technically, if our boss is successful in kidnapping that doctor who was with you, we'd have two things, but for now that doesn't matter. Either way, you'll never take our dignity!" As the containment car drove away with the Propeller Guys, Aquamarine was scared at what the two had said about their boss and Dr. Sabant. If that boss was successful at capturing Dr. Sabant, then once he learned that two of his other men were arrested by her, then he would surely kill Dr. Sabant. Trying to run as fast as she could, Aquamarine headed in the direction of the lab where Dr. Sabant was, hoping he was still okay.

Eventually, as Aquamarine approached the lab that Dr. Sabant had taken her a week ago while trying to see if he was safe, she saw that the lab was already under attack by multiple Propeller Guys wielding what looked like bronze AK-47s, and as she stopped running she quickly hopped behind a nearby sign to avoid being seen by them. As she thought of what to do, Aquamarine quickly decided that she would probably have to sneak her way to Dr. Sabant to save him, otherwise the Propeller Guys would probably shoot her down if she went in with brute force.

Before she could begin sneaking her way through the lab however, Aquamarine began to hear a small and faint voice coming from the Machine Spirit AI Chip, as if it was speaking to her, saying "You actually want to just sneak through and rescue that worthless doctor? I would never do something as weak as sneaking through, as it's basically the lowest and least regal thing a AI Chip of my calibur would ever think of! I originally just wanted to stay silent to you since I just wanted to leech off your body, but that dumb plan was just too dumb to not snark at!"

As Aquamarine looked down at her right arm and heard what was coming from the AI Chip on her arm, she shook in fear at what was happening, since this was too crazy for her to comprehend in one listening. After all, in Homeworld, AI Chips were just inanimate objects that were inserted into ships to regulate ship functions, and they could never achieve full sentience and actually speak to other people, and yet here was the Machine Spirit AI Chip, defying all of that logic and not only speaking, but talking down at her plans. Still trying to comprehend things, Aquamarine said to the AI Chip "Wait, you can talk!? This makes no sense, and I have no idea what is going on, so please explain what's going on."

"Fine, I'll explain it simply for you. My creators have named me a Machine Spirit much like the other AIs on my production line, but I prefer the name Wrathilisa Imperator. I am a AI Chip that was originally built to control a mech known as a Titan, though the poor schmuck who was to install me was sent to the Omniverse, with me in tow. Thankfully, that schmuck was banished before he could use me for something else, and after that I was sent to the lab, and from there I attached to your arm,
and here we are now, with you trying to save your worthless and meek doctor friend. Oh, also it isn't much talking as it is sending electric messages to your Gem to talk to you, so your the only one who can technically hear me for now."

"Ugh, this is still too complicated, but for now I really need to save Dr. Sabant, and I don't need to listen to you for advice." After deciding to figure out more from this AI Chip earlier, Aquamarine went with her original plan of sneaking through the lab, despite Wrathilisa not wanting to do that. As Aquamarine tried to slowly walk through to the entrance, Wrathilisa continued to throw more snark at Aquamarine, which annoyed her a bit, though she tried to mainly ignore it. After a bit of slow walking and the occasional ducking to hide, Aquamarine eventually reached the front door of the lab.

It was only when she actually opened the door she realized that things were going to be much harder for her, as she saw herself face to face with the boss of the Propeller Guys, a giant 8'0" Charging Chuck with Dr. Sabant, who was bound and gagged, hanging from a bag on his back. As the Charging Chuck took a good look at Aquamarine, he quickly realized her from what his minions told him about her appearance, and he quickly guessed that she was the one who locked up the Propeller Guy he sent to the lab one week earlier. "Hah, that's what you actually look like? My minions told me you would be small but not this small! Anyway, now that your here, I don't need this guy, so I guess I will put him away while I RIP YOUR ARM OUT FOR THAT AI CHIP!"

Hopping a few feet away and placing the bag holding Dr. Sabant onto the ground, before walking a few more feet away and assuming a fighting stance. Before Aquamarine could pull out any of her weapons to prepare to fight the guy though, Wrathilisa quickly interrupted Aquamarine's thought process and said "Ok, this is getting boring, so I'm gonna quickly end this." At that point, Aquamarine quickly blacked out as Wrathilisa took over her body and turned it white, before quickly pulling out the Empire Cold Gun Prototype and firing it at the Charging Chuck as he began to rush at the small Gem.

As the formula launched from the Cold Gun hit one of the Charging Chuck's legs, it quickly messed up his rush as he tripped and fell, landing on his stomach as Wrathilisa charged and fired a Blinding Ball directly at his face to add injury to insult. Yawning a bit from boredom, Wrathilisa quickly gave back Aquamarine control over her body, and as Aquamarine regained conciousness she saw that the Charging Chuck was not only tripped onto the floor, but it was dazed and blinded. Unsure of what had happened while she was unconcious and Wrathilisa was in control, she took the opportunity and handcuffed the Charging Chuck while he was on the ground, before walking to the bag holding Dr. Sabant.

Quickly untying the bag and saving Dr. Sabant, Aquamarine told the doctor about what had happened today as the Charging Chuck was sent to prison and the Propeller Guys, now without a leader, began killing each other before a group of Climax Troopers arrested the survivors. As she continued to explain what had happened, Aquamarine was worried on what would happen to her if this AI Chip was able to continue to take over her body, though Dr. Sabant eased those worries a bit by pointing out that Wrathilisa was simply okay with leaving her in control for now. As the two continued talking through the night, Aquamarine began to wonder what it would be like if she continued to have to go through with threats like the Propeller Guys, and what it would be like if she went deeper through the Tiers.
