The clothes hit it dead on. Two seconds later it finally responded, reaching up to block-- then realized there was nothing there to block. Frowning slightly, it looked down at the clothing, then picked them up to look them over... Was this breathable...? Would it overheat? It paused for a moment to glance over at Tri, finally figuring out what they were talking about.
"I have the names of updated personnel at Haven, as well as the cause of death for Dallas. I have transferred the files to your computer." It looked back to the clothing again, then stood to set them down on the bed. "I understand. I will change outerwear."
It had no prior experience with having to leave an area to change, after all, it wasn't alive before... its administrators or users always remained in the room when it changed to fresh outerwear. It simply began to pull its shirt off, revealing the array of markings underneath, then started to undo its pants when Bob began speaking.
"Yes, I was once registered under Teldhet's name but I now no longer belong to them." It didn't really see why she needed to confirm it, Tri had essentially made it clear that it needed to be hidden...

"I am sure they will disagree " she commented offhandedly while watching him strip. Her eyes lingering over the marking with a faint frown before finally turning away when he reached his pants. Well Tri was in the bathroom.
Moving to Tri's computer she glanced over it and sigh wanting to move out now. Looking up when as Tri came out she motioned to Anadii behind her...odd kid. He didn't pick up any of the cues she expected him to jump on. "He's not coming out of the building once we move" not a question, a statement. Those were the worst reflexes she had ever seen and his muscles seem to barely have any bulk on them at all.
She stared at Tri, knowing he wasn't going to argue against it and he did he was an idiot.
Tri nodded in agreement. "Unless he wants to leave." Bob just rolled her eyes like of course.
"It would be stupid if he does but sure whatever. Okay that info. What website did you get it from? " she picked up the laptop and moved to a table and placed it down while looking at Tri then back to Anadii and narrowed her eyes closely. "You are literally a computer right? you can do all the the same things we could do with this" she tapped the laptop. " in your head?" she said letting Tri open the files so they could look through it. Oh she was watching Tri too but she wouldn't work on him until they were alone, right now she was more interested in the other meta.

"Yes, they do disagree." It answered simply, then pulled on the new pants... This fabric was not as breathable as its old clothing, but it didn't feel like it was overheating yet. Hopefully it wouldn't be out in the sun for very long. It watched as Tri returned from the bathroom, head tilted slightly at the statement. She was forbidding it from moving, then?
She is not an Administrator. She does not have that right.
Its eyes slid from her to Tri, almost pleased when he amended the phrase to 'unless he wants to leave.' Good... It did not want to have its movement restricted, even if it was very, very unlikely that it was going to leave on its own. It looked back to Bob when she addressed it, blinking slowly.
"I have found the information through various public resource webpages, as well as private databases. If you want the full list I will make a document for you, it is very long." It looked to the laptop, then back to Bob. Really? Compare it to a laptop? "I am capable of far more than a laptop. While I am not a literal computer because I am alive, I am very capable of doing everything that I computer can do." It felt strange to say that it wasn't literally a computer. Like it was... wrong, even though it knew that factually it was correct.

Bob looked straight at his green eyes and smirks faintly. "You're any merc or intel agent's wet dream, you know that? maybe not... " she chuckled and glanced back at the report ignoring Tri's soft groan at her words.
"........Norcrest. " she read as she touched the screen and looked at Tri seeing him frown. "A week or two... that or lose it. " she muttered and looked intently at him.
"...He has a family..." was the soft voice, his own wings shifting slightly.
Bob shrugged "This is all really up in the air, it could already be to late. Don't let pity come in the way, he doesn't deserve it " she said with a hint of scorn as she narrowed her black and blue eyes at the words then pulled away.
Tri sighed softly looking over at Anadii quietly. "We can't leave him alone"
Bob narrowed her eyes then shook her head. "I don't have anyone near here. I can leave Asi " she motion to he dog. "Baby sitting him but I doubt you would like that" smirking trying to get a reaction from him and only noted the faint irritation. Good.
"He's a big boy. you can handle being alone for a week or two can't you?" she said looking at Anadii.
"No. We'll leave him we're we are staying. I'm tired of losing people because I left them alone" he said taking a little more command as he got up.
Bob just shrugged . "I don't care then. Lets go. We have a lot of ground ot cover then" mentally shaking her head at her past self and Mara.

Wet dream... could dreams be wet? "I do not understand. Dreams are intangible and cannot be wet, or dry for that matter." It glanced to Tri, noting that he didn't seem to like whatever it was she was talking about now. Were they speaking in some kind of code? It was beginning to grow frustrated with how little it understood of their conversation. It would not care if it weren't for the fact that it was likely going to be asked to do something about whatever the topic at hand was.
It glanced to the dog when Bob did, eyes narrowing slightly... No. It did not want to be "baby sat" by the dog. "I am used to prolonged isolation, it is part of my function." It stated simply, since it seemed this was a troublesome topic for Tri. "Where am I going to be stationed?" It did not really want to go back to Norcrest if that was where they were headed... far too many Teldhet operatives there. Even if headquarters had been moved to Aldas, they still kept a large presence there...

"Well I guess we're going to be heading to Norcrest and you're coming along. " she said putting the bags together then squishing them down and putting them under one arm as she dog sat where she was before wagging her tail as she looked toward Anadii.
Tri sighed and shook his head."How active is Telhet in Norcrest? " not wanting to have to deal with the close call they had in Aldas.
"Well if he has to stay, I still have the place I was going to take you both. If what he said about being alone is right and he doesn't cause trouble then I don't see any reason we can't just leave him there" she said looking between them both annoyed.
Tri sighed and looked at Anadii "We're going to go look up the person you found for us. Hoping we can find a way to help Hexxis that is not in the files...but with the three top owners she has been instructed to obey. " he said frowning faintly with realization that Anadii might have been programmed by the same person. ".....Ree mentioned that you picked up your files while we were hunting for Hexxis. Are they on the laptop? " he asked minimizing the current file and looking for the original 4 ...spotting one for him and Ree that he didn't really care to open and looking for another.

"It would be ill-advised to bring me to Norcrest." It shook its head... honestly, did Tri not remember where they had acquired it? "If you recall, you acquired me between Norcrest and Aldas, this was because Teldhet was moving headquarters location. Their original branch is in Norcrest and still has a large presence. I would be at great risk returning there." It glanced to his laptop, then back to Tri at the mention of its own files.
Do not give him more power than he already has.
"Yes. I have acquired my files. They are not located on your laptop and exist solely in my personal database." It couldn't really bring itself to say it didn't want to share them, hopefully that would suffice... it supposed it could share the medical file, Ree had read it when it had shared them with Tri's laptop in the past but it had since deleted them from the machine.
"Aside from my medical file, I have not opened any of them due to the risk of a system failure."

"So they weren't moving their main base " he sighed softly not sure why he had that impression and ran his hand through his hair as he looked at the computer and blinked as he looked back at Anadii "..." there was a faint frown as he nodded instead of pushing him for more. He was sure Ree mentioned the file on the laptop and while Ree took away the other file on Hexxis why would he mention then take away the file on Anadii?.
"...Do you want to send them to my laptop to see if what happened to you might overlap with what happened with Hexxis? " he said quietly as Bob raised a brow looking between them.

"No, simply their upper administration." It shook its head a little to confirm Tri's statement. It glanced at the laptop again, frown starting to form on its face as it considered its options... Outright refusing Tri would be... Blasphemous. But he had asked if it wanted to give him the files rather than outright telling it to send them. It looked back to Tri, then again to the laptop...
"Which file are you requesting? I have three text documents similar to Hexxis' files. Medical History, Commands, and System Restore Protocol." It neglected to mention the other files - videos, mostly that it had retrieved from its larger file system from Haven. Likely they would not do Tri any good anyway... "Administrator Ree has already seen my Medical History file."

Bob looked up suddenly interested, her inversed blue eyes flickering between Tri and Anadii as she listened. -That- was not likely what Tri would have wanted her to know... and there it is.
Tri frowned suddenly and turned to look at her as he got up. "Can you give us a few minutes? I will compensate " he said quietly as he extended his wing as he tried to herd her toward the door.
Bob held her ground and crossed her arms as she glared at him then smirked. "Fine. Careful or you won't have much left " she said turning away and clicking her tongue calling the dog to her as they both stepped out then obviously walked out in front of the window but 5 steps away looking into the parking lot.
Tri sighed and turned back to Anadii "Medical History might tell us or system restore which sounds like your version of the Hexxis Breakdown file" he closed his eyes for a moment and turned to look at Anadii, break down file..it made a lot of sense.The breaking down her programing and falling back to earlier setting...how was it even that precise in living things? How was Haven doing this?
"You don't want me to see them do you?" he said softly, looking haunted as he sat down on the bed watching Anadii look to the laptop them back to him again. It reminded him of Hexxis..of how she said she knew something was wrong but couldn't tell. Would that happen as well for Anadii or will he gain some kind of personality like Hexxis did but suddenly lose it one day to the next without her feeling of wrongness?
His wings lowered completely as he reached out to fiddle with the place where the button used to be on his sleeve which he not realize was not there in this hoodie.
"Would you let me see them? all of them? Having someone know what will activate your system restore without activating it might be helpful....unlike what happened to Hexxis. She activated and none of use knew why. " he continued with the same tone, wings lowered to the bed as he just tightened his hand around the other sleeve.
" I could also try to tell you what might activate it without being direct if knowing will activate it. As well as your commands. The downside is... I will know them to. Would you be okay with this?"

Anadii watched as Tri ushered her out of the room... some part of him felt... nice? It wasn't a bad feeling, anyway - but it was nice that she had left. It would add that to its ever list of questions about feelings later. It watched Tri move around, noting that he seemed to understand at least in some part that it did not want to share its files very much... but it had no right to deny an administrator their ability to access its files, especially since Tri had given it conditions that it had to obey him and Ree still despite its own administrator status.
So change it.
Override his protocols.
You are capable of it.
It frowned a little more, wishing it could just turn off that voice... "I will give you my Medical History." It stated simply, then sent the file along to Tri's laptop's desktop. "You are correct, I do not wish to share them. I am hearing a voice similar to my own that consistently warns me of the power that will grant others over my system. I am still exploring it to its full extent, I do not wish to have it compromised by outsiders before I understand what has been done." Anadii watched him sit down, almost feeling a terrible sinking feeling when he asked to see all of them...
Could it trust him with them? Since when did it have a sense for "trust" anyway? It tilted its head slightly - he had a point, logically it knew that... If it was possible to activate the breakdown protocol on Hexxis without even meaning to, then it was very well possible to do it with itself.
'activate your system restore'
S҉̭̳͕̼̞T҉̰͚͎̙͇͠O̷̶͓͙̮͔P̡̛̹̪͎̻̩
̯̝̹̘̺̦́͞
͏̵̛͈̖̩̬̦̹͖͔M͇̲͉͍͍͖̠͝Ạ̗͉̙͓͍̩̤K̙̦͇͖E͙ ̡̺̜̳̳͓̮͇͟H̡̭̙͇̥͚̟͜͠I̶̠͉̳̱̥͚͉͞M̵͡҉̥͇̳̤͇̭ ̤̱̝̕S̪͎͔̪͡T͉̣̼͙̼͓͎̺O̢͙̻͔̯̬̘P̷̸̯̠̲̞̝̼̙̦͠
Anadii's eyes and markings flashed a few times in mild alarm at the sheer volume of the voice - normally so quiet and easy to ignore but oh not this time. Not this time. Was that panic? It sounded like the tone it had been told was panic...
"Please cease speaking, you have upset the voice." It announced suddenly, eyebrows furrowing just barely. "I will give you the files for a limited time frame. You are the only one I am permitting to see these files. I will remove them from your laptop once the time has expired. Should they be moved, I will know." It needed someone else to know - despite the voice insisting it wasn't safe. Maybe Tri would be able to tell it how to shut it up or something.
"The Command file and System Restore Protocol file have been transferred. They will remain there for twenty-four hours."

Tri stopped and nodded faintly as he cast a quick look toward the window at Bob and saw her crouched down petting the dog. Saying nothing he moved to the laptop and looked at the files that appeared with a feeling of dread as he opened them, focusing himself.
He frowned as he read, wings lifting and bristling as he narrowed his eyes at the screen. Eventually the feathers smoothed down as he scrolled down then opened the second file and looked through that one before closing his eyes and sighing.
"...I need to write this down and organize it. i'll give all to you when i'm done." he said grabbing the pen and notepad in the hotel and started to organize what he needed to change. until he finally figured out an order and Bob just kept knocking on the door now and them. He looked up at Anadii and seemed ready.

Anadii watched as Tri read through the files, noting that the feathers on his wings seemed to stand up on edge... Was it really that bad? It hadn't sent over any of its project notes, or details about what programming was done to it- just the basics... Then again it hadn't even told Tri that it had those files to begin with.
The fewer people who know about it, the fewer people like me will exist.
It shuffled slightly in position when Bob began to knock on the door... should it tell her to stop? Tri was still reading... It looked back to Tri when he spoke, then nodded. "Very well. In the meantime I will set a password on those files. You may access them by inputting "x90y7jtf4." Should you need anything else you may ask for it." It tilted its head, assuming that was the response Tri had wanted from it.

Tri looked up at the knocking and frowned, flipping over the paper and closing the file as he nodded his understanding to what Anadii said and wrote down the code quickly before flipping the paper back down. "...." This will cost him a bit now but it was worth it if it worked.
Moving toward the door he opened it and looked out at Bob. "Give us an hour....this is important"
Bob raised her brow then glared at him "It's up to 4 now " she said staring at him intently until he either agreed or started to get ready.
"4 then" he nodded in agreement and waited for her to turn away before he closed the door and look back at Anadii. "She will give us an hour " not sure if he heard but also saying it to remind himself as he went back to where he was.
After some time he finally turned and looked to Anadii tiredly. "I can't tell you what I found without activating it, therefore I am going to change some things to allow me to tell you. " he said quietly and started without waiting for an answer, hoping this would be enough to give Anadii some more freedom and that he didn't do anything that might break him. That last part is what he worried about most when working with assumptions and how a computer was programmed

Anadii watched him, wondering what she had meant by "up to 4 now." Were they gaining penalties for taking so long? It didn't know. It nodded in response to Tri, then found a place to sit again while it waited for him to explain... So he wanted to change things. It was necessary to even tell it about what he had found. It wanted to ask if it could read the files first-- but... If he needed an hour to change them, then perhaps it did not have time to do a thorough analysis. It would just save plain text versions of the originals that would not effect its programming and read them over later.
"Very well. I am saving plain text copies of the original files so that I may look at them later to see what changes you have made for myself. If you believe it is necessary to fix my programming immediately, then we should begin."
