This RP is about Jubilee and Tori (her newer older sister...if that makes sense XD ). I'd prefer if people would PM a request before joining, there's a bit of a specific goal here, but I thought everyone would like to see it as it progressed which is why I'm making it public ^^'

<<DATA ENCRYPTED: PASSWORD REQUIRED>> <<PASSWORD: ***************** ACCEPTED>> <<MEMORY LOG: PRE-ASSIMILATION>> <<DADA FILE: XR379G>> <<TIME FORMAT: N/A>> *Darkness. No data feed at the bottom of the screen. The darkness faded as the girl opened her eyes, blurring slightly and focusing as she blinked the sleep out of her eyes. A man stood by the window at the far side of the room she was in, looking like he hadn't slept in weeks. The girl coughed, her hand coming into view, blood spattering her palm. She was sick. She looked back to the man, who gave her a worried smile.* <Jubilee> Daddy? *She was hoarse.* < ?>*Her father approached, kneeling beside her bed, stroking her hair.* Shh...it's alright, dear. I'm right here. Daddy's going to make you all better, okay? And you'll never be sick or hurt again, I promise. <Jubilee>*She rested back, the man's face staying in view. The man began to weep.* Don't cry daddy...you just said everything would be all better... < ?>Yes...yes it will be... *he said. Suddenly he raised his arm and brought a knife down onto her chest!* <Jubilee>*She screamed, and as he stabbed her again and again her screams faded, her vision fading as well and turning red at the edges.* Dad...dy.....why.... < ?>Daddy loves you.... *Screen fades to black* <<END MEMORY>>

Tori's eyes blinked as she turned her head slowly towards Jubilee. She had put her in sleep mode so the little girl could charge, and stumbled upon this footage while she was doing a routine scan. A soft gasp escaped her silent lips as she ran a hand through her short brown hair while she tried to make sense of what she had just seen. "Son of a bitch..." she whispered as she shook her head in disbelief as to what she had seen. It seemed uncanny for her at how well a young looking girl like Jubilee seems to handle such a dramatic memory without having her moments where she cracks down to pieces. Then again, Tori had her own memories, a whole catalog of them as a matter of fact, that would and SHOULD drive her downright mad. Yet, she herself manages admirably well, but such a thing would come to be discusses in its due time.
She maintained her gaze to the 'sleeping' Jubilee and wondered what her course of action would be. Erasing such memory from her actually flirted with her, such a horrible memory should not even plague someone as lively as her. Then again, what matter of a fool would she be if she violated the sanctity of the girl's memory. For now, all she would think of doing is tuck the girl a little tighter, more snug and get up to head onto the balcony or this small appartment. She and Jubilee had been travelling and always end up returning to Tori's dimension, to her home. For some reason it gave the woman some sense of balance, of security.
"I'm gonna have to tell her I saw that... I can't lie and just pretend i didn't see nothin" she says to herself as she looked at the city unfolding before her, the dawn sky welcoming her decision to go outside to smoke a cigarette. She was not human but this was one of the few human habits that never seemed to want to quit. She stared out and smoked her cigarette idly, revisiting her own memories for the time being, in deep thought.

Jubilee had no conscious knowledge of the memory; it was tucked into an encrypted file at the back of her data storage. The fact alone that Tor had found that, along with the other memories in its file that she had yet to view, was surprising to say the least. She stirred uneasily in her sleep, as if when Tori viewed the memory she had seen it as well, but she remained in sleep mode, unable to get out of it until either she was fully charged or Tori activated her. She did, however, hug her stuffed tiger a little more tightly. <<DATA COMMAND PROMPT: DELETE FILE (Y/N)>>

<<DATA COMMAND PROMPT: DELETE FILE (Y/N)>> She sighed as she saw the words blink in her eye display. To remove something like that from what she sees as an innocent child or leave it there and pray the gods it never gets opened again. She crushed her cigarette and decided to refuse the prompt, sending the signal to negate the question while she stayed there. After being so long with Jubilee she gave the girl the privacy of waking up, needing some of her own for a few more moments. This was a short thing to witness and yet it had the impact and the intnsity of if she had been there, when it happened. It seems killing is a thing she will easily do and yet, when a child is involved, it makes sick to her stomach, if such a thing can happen to a robot. For some reason it gave her time to think about her own past. Way too much of it at that. Travelling with 'Jube' seemed to be something she enjoyed alot more than strapping herself in for a trip down memory lane. For her there was not a single memory of hers that she wanted to share, to cherish, to relive... Just like Jubilee's being killed was probably one she would not want to share if she was aware of it. Her vision blurred... ------- A state of panic she was in, bubbles clouding her vision, even though she had a respirator mask she seemed to be struggling to breathe, to shout, to scream. Her fist pounded against the thick glass, even though her strenght was superior to normal standards, she could not even get around to crack the glass. "What are you doing to her !? Leave her alone ! Someone help her!!" were the only thoughts that coursed through her mind. What were these soldiers doing? why were they... disrobing ?? --

<<SLEEP MODE DEACTIVATED>> <<THREAT SCAN: RESULTS NEGATIVE>> <<NEAREST LIFE FORMS: SISSY, UNKNOWN HUMANS, CAT>> Jubilee's eyes opened and she yawned, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She tucked her stuffed tiger into her compartment, closing it and hopping off of the bed. She took a moment to look around the room; she hadn't had much time before being put into sleep mode, they had gotten back pretty late and she'd been really tired. She looked back at the bed and frowned, putting a hand to her chest. For some reason she couldn't figure out right now, it hurt...like something hit her. She shook her head, shrugging it off, and followed the scan indicators for Tori's location. She moved towards Tori, hugging her. "Morning, sissy..." She looked up at her, but frowned slightly. Something was wrong, she knew. "Are you okay? Did you get any sleep?"

Tori just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. To tell the little girl that she had little to no sleep would only exacerbate things and would lead to another problem she did not yet want to deal with. Not only because such a vision would be extremely touchy to approach and discuss. And yet... What if Jubilee were aware of what Tori had seen from Jubilee's memory. What if the poor girl had on idea that this memory plagued her and she was not aware of it? No. That was not a risk she could not afford to take and that she would not be willing to gamble upon. For the time being the girl was awake. Might as well look alive.
"Nah. Didn't sleep well. I gotta admit but don't worry about it. My inner batteries can handle the extra time without my recharging them. Did ya sleep well hun?" she asleep a hand on the girl's shoulder. A soft sigh parted her lips as she par in a straighter position so her could take a better look at her little sister. She smirked some, trying to act smug a little to show nothing is really wrong. "One of these days, when you're ready, I'll have a chat with you and I'll show you a few things. I need to know how you would handle seeing that kind of things. since it's not very pretty things to see" she said. Her brown eyes became a mere slit as her smile broadened and she stood. "How about a vacation? We'll wherever you want. Just have to do a job and see someone about Moogie and we're completely free to go and do whatever YOU want. How's that sound?"

She grinned broadly at this, her violet eyes glowing - literally. "Really sissy?!" she said, jumping with excitement, her black ponytail bouncing. She was already scanning several databases, trying to see where might be a good place to take a vacation. "Oooh, maybe we can explore your world a little more!!" After a moment, though, she tilted her head curiously, and seemed in thought. Tori would be aware of her scanning databases to see what a 'moogie' was. "What kind of job?" she asked. Always curious, she was...not to mention the fact that her primary objective was set to gather information anyway. She was always scanning things, learning new stuff, and had access to any database she could THINK of...even ones that were supposed to be top secret; she knew how to bypass every firewall and break every password, it was always just a matter of time.

A chuckle escaped her throat. "Are you sure you want to visit this world first?" she says with a chuckle while she ruffled her hair. Such an adorable child that girl was. "you know what... Igot a few things to get off my mind before I do anything..." she said, opening the balcony door, where she had gone to smoke, for Jubilee to come back inside. Her glance became a little more serious and it showed that what she would show the girl was not the typical little flashback, no time for cartoons, it was time for her to get to the more serious matter. And now was a better time than never at all.
"I'm about to show you stuff only Triss is aware of, mainly because she had to skim through everything my memory stored on itself. This is stuff that haunts me days in and days out. It's my human past, it's how i was..." she hated to say that, she wished so much being able to say she was born just like any other human being, but it was far from being the case. "... made. Most of it I don't honestly know if it's truth or just... stuff played so often that i believe it's my memory, but... i remember those, every time I sleep it ends up coming..." she then sits ona couch and opens a compartment in her left leg, drawing what seems to be a headband out of there. Her leg closes and she hands the thing over to Jubilee.
"I wanted to wait, but for some reason, I feel I have to show this to you now, so that we can both go somewhere and enjoy ourselves and just... live" she waits for Jubilee to sit and grab the headband, to wear it.

She followed Tori inside, though she didn't understand what she was about to see. She took the headband, frowning. Jubilee knew from her expression and her tone of voice that this - whatever she was about to see - was something serious. And that it bothered Tori.
Jubilee sat beside her on the couch, slipping the headband on. She hugged her slightly, somehow sensing that her sister needed comfort...and that it might get worse as she was shown whatever it was she would see.
"Okay, sissy," she said quietly, looking up at her. "I'm ready...and maybe we can go get hot chocolate after this. It'll make you smile again, and make all the bad stuff go away."

She gave a smirk to Jubilee as she slowly slipped onto the head band. She did not like smirking like that, especially when she knows well what she will show the little girl might cause a bit of a shock, but in a way, to be able to share her burden was a relief in itself, a way to get something out of her system, to make it a much lighter thing to support on her own. Right now, all that was going through her head were all of the possible scenarios in which she would have to just stop and assist Jubilee in recovering from what she had seen from Tori's mind. That which she shared and that which she holds to herself for all this time, for all these years that she had been somewhat 'stuck' in this body of hers.
Jubilee's sight would slowly blur, what was around her, their appartment, their home slowly started to fade. Something more... electronic began to manifest before her eyes. She would find herself in front of a touch screen that seems to be floating in thin air. The entire room looked like an insane asylum room, the padded white rooms, yet, each cushioned bump was rather a drawer, with a date. there are about a few dozen drawers that seem not to have a padlock symbol next to dates starting from "day 426" to "day 2156". But first, this ever so dreaded prompt would first greet her.
< P L E A S E - E N T E R - P A S S W O R D >
user name: topkatr password :
<------------------------------->
The prompt would wait for Jubilee to enter the right password, let alone crack into it.

Jubilee looked around the room curiously, scanning it in the process. She blinked at the prompt and began to try to do a firewall scan and try to dig through Tori's databases to find the password. But to her surprise she found nothing. She frowned and tried a random password, to test it. PASSWORD: SISSY

The whole room around her flickered, as if the system went under a bit of instability then everything calmed down. The prompt seemed to accept the password, a sound of hydraulic pipes, pushing a drawer open seemed to function as the drawer right behind the screen slowly pushed forth and a new window opened while the first one that stood before Jubilee vanished and entered the drawer. For a long moment the screen remained blank and a greeting message popped:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PASSWORD ACCEPTED. PLEASE REPLACE PASSWORD IN 7 DAYS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE CHOOSE BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING:
1. Dr. Kataryna Topolev Video Logs - Project Korosiev
2. General System Back up
3. System Management.
4. Memory Wipe.
5. Current Mode: Civilian (choose to modify (Military/Civilian)
6. Maintenance Shut Down
Option: [ ]
The voice of a soft woman would prevent Jubilee from making a choice right away. The voice sounded much like Tori, only... much softer. "If you are hearing this, it is either because you are a good hacker in search of a good story for the press, or if you are Tori, you found out about the chip that was put right in the middle ofy our brain. No matter, in here are the logs of the first seven years of your life, even if your body aged up to the age of thirty one years of age. Those seven years are possibly also the last seven yaers of my life. Who ever sees these logs, know that most of the scientists working for this project were killed ONLY because the Red Army found our progress was too slow, if any more like her are made, they MUST be stopped..." the voice dies down and the menu pops right back into view, the prompt waiting for an answer

Jubilee looked up at the voice, listening attentively. She frowned as the voice faded. "Why do they need to be killed...." she wondered. Then an even scarier thought occurred to her: would someone come to kill Tori? She wouldn't let that happen... She shook her head and selected option one.

The screen went to black, nothing happened for a moment, displays in different languages, as if the screen was literally emulating a system start up. Words, images, too quick even for Jubilee to be able to who or what the images were. All that could be understood is that they were a prelude. A prelude to what seeemed to be merely a recorded diary, recorded and spoken directly to Tori, spoken by the scientist that saw Tori grow in that very same tank, in which she had witnessed a lot, way too much at that.
< Log entry 1 - Corrupt - Deleted > < Log entry 2 - Missing - File not found > < Log entry 3 - Corrupt - Deleted > < Playing Log entry 4... >
The woman appearing on the field of view seemed to be in a state of shock, her upper lip was visibly cut and still bleeding. Not profusely, but it had yet to be tended to. Due to the opacity of the liquid, the face looked grey, so its actual color could not really be figured out. There were faint bruises on the woman's face, and what seems to be a black eye. The woman did not look happy for a single second, nor did she look angry. She looked... ashamed.
"Video log, Project Korosiev, day number seventy six. As you can see, Victoria, those waiting for you aren't really patient... It's the second time this week that they think I am taking them for idiots and that they make me spend a rather harsh moment in their company. At least this time I didn't pass out due to the bitch slapping they gave me. Sometimes I wonder if it's truly worth keeping you there until I know for sure you're ready rather than until they SEE and THINK you are..." the woman reaches for the glass and presses the tip of a finger. "Make contact" she instructs. A hand comes into view and slowly, the tip of its finger tries to point exactly where the other finger, outside the glass points. She could feel the warmth of that finger, even if it was outside the glass, while she was trapped in this liquid, cold, lonely. "Good... Now..." she slowly starts to move her finger upwards "follow my movements" she instructs. The finger seems to take some delay but slowly and surely reproduces what she is shown to do. "Excellent... You're focusing better and better every day" the woman smiles, though winces when her lips stretch further than she wanted them to. She looked down and seemed to write something then showed a finger. "Follow my finger?" she instructed. The view lifted, lowered, followed every movement the hand made. "Good. Did you have problems seeing where I was moving?" she asked. the whole view shook left and right. "Good. your eyes seem to get better and better everyday, that's great" the woman says. A hand presses against the glass and into view comes a hand again, frantically pressing against the glass. As if the thing wanted to touch the woman outside for real. There was a gigantic feeling of loneliness, a terribly painful desire to just... come out and actually live

A tear rolled down Jubilee's cheek as she was aware of the loneliness. She didn't know why, but there seemed to be something familiar about this memory log...as if she'd seen something similar to it before. She glanced at the prompt and decided that if Tori wanted to delete it, she could do it. She wasn't going to make that decision for her sister...not if she'd kept the memory all this time. <<OPTION SELECT: [K]EEP>> She moved on, wondering if there were more memories for her to watch, though at the back of her mind she was still puzzling over the familiarity of this memory.

< WARNING ! WARNING ! SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ! SECURITY MEASURE ENGAGED! REBOOTING !>
The screen turned to black, once more, it seems that a lot of things in Tori's programming were going haywire. For a brief moment, Jubilee could see the actual Tori, still sitting calmly, her eyes closed, as if she were just sitting there, meditating. there was almost a smirk of relief on the woman's face if one would pay attention to it more closely. What ever it was she seemed unaffected by what Jubilee was seeing.
Then, everything flashed again, images, short pieces of footage. Military corps storming in the lab, people running amok in panic, gunfire, screaming, weeping, total and utter chaos. Static greeted Jubilee's eyes, then something came back.... the woman from the first clip, so to speak
"I don't know if you'll remember any of this Victoria... Yes... we've all given you a name" silence for a few moments, the room aroud the woman seemed to become dark, only to be lit up by artificial lighting. The woman looked horrified, with how she looked side to side showed that she was in more than just a heap of trouble. "Listen to this...." hands cameinto view, there were bubbles clouding the view, the girl inside the tank began becoming nervous, afraid, she took breath after breath, beginning to pound on the glass <<Let me out ! please! Let me out !>> she begged, though the screams were deafened by bubbles The woman touched hands through the glass, as if it were going to comfort her.
"Listen carefully, 'Tori', you are made by the hand of man, a clone of a woman from this compound, from..." she looks again from side to side "from me... I'd love to say you're really my daughter but you're just..." the words were silenced, a male gloved hand grasping the mouth. Tori in her tank began pounding harder and harder on the glass, trying harder to break it. Then she stopped, froze in shock, the gloved hand made another hand appear. A swift movement from one side to another, the glass spattered with blood, the woman falling lifeless.
"What the f*ck are you, you freak?" the soldier moved back and drew his pistol. Shots were fired, the glass finally shattered, then nothing... total black out.
< SYSTEM FAILURE. EMERGENCY REBOOT. LOGGING OFF >
Jubilee would find herself, sitting in the living room, exactly where Tori had given her the headband. Tori looked at her, for a moment then stood, as if she needed a moment for herself, she also had seen what she had let Jubilee see. "I showed you all this because I saw your getting murdered... We all hve our secrets, but... I want none of that between us. You're my little sis and I trust you..." she pats Jubilee's leg and goes out of the living room.

Jubilee sat there in silence, still shaken and just...stunned from what she had seen. Someone had tried to kill Tori? But why? She didn't understand, couldn't comprehend the hatred some humans felt towards things that were different from themselves. And then with what her sister just said... "...I was...murdered? But...." She watched Tori leave and remained where she was for now, too shaken to move. She slipped the headband off and just...held it.
After several minutes, she scanned for Tori. When she found her she quietly approached, and tightly hugged her. "I dunno what you were talking about...but I won't let those bad men hurt you again," she promised, oddly serious for how she usually was. "You're MY sissy...and they can't shoot you. I'll shoot THEM first." She had already memorized what she could of the soldiers, putting their profiles through several databases...just in case they were still alive.

A soft chuckle escaped Tori's throat as she wrapped an arm about Jubilee's shoulder "You would be hunting dead bodies, hun. Don't waste your wits and time on them. Besides, they already paid for what they did, not just to me but for a lot of people" she says, smiling peacefully and looking down to her.
"Now... I do believe you said you wanted to explore my world. We had fun in town here, but there's still some comedy festivals, among a lot of stuff going on in town. But honestly, it's going to be much too crowded for me, so how about you log online the old fashioned way" she points at a computer "and pick a spot we could spend a few weeks?" she invites Jubilee to do.

"Okay!" Jubilee said, grinning happily and moving to the computer. She always found it funny to use a computer, when she had every database she could literally think of available to her in her head, but it was still fun! She busied herself with searching for someplace for them to visit, soon becoming lost in the world of data on the machine...
