I know Oliver took good care of you, and are you scared now?

No, I am not scared now, but you will be leaving the me to do other things on Solaris, I want to go with you.

Yes, that is true, and I know you said you wanted a body to move around on Solaris, and I'll ask those in engineering about, and I'm sure they will come up with something, and just so I understand correctly, you want a bird body to move around Solaris, and at the same time, be connected to your ships body and Sarrin at all times, and have a human voice with your birdie body, is that right?

That is what I want, so I can go with you when you go around Solaris.

I will ask them shortly, right now,
Standing up, and leaving the bridge, and down the hall to the lounge and in to the kitchen, and looking around.
It looks like Oliver, kept the kitchen clean and I am sure that is a feat in and of itself.

Ohh,
Pauses for a moment while opening a cupboard and pouring herself a stiff drink, and taking the bottle with her as she goes back to the lounge, and with the birdie still on her shoulder, sitting down and drinking half of what she poured, she thinks of Arthur and she does want to be alone, and she loves The Drifter, but, right now, she wants some peace, and, and, maybe The Drifter is a good distraction right now, but she feels like crying again.
Do you know how you want to know things, you want more data? Then you feel you understand something? But you want more data?
Eating is a little like that, our human bodies, eat food like data, and if we don't eat food, our bodies will collapse and die, and our essence gone.
Now you won't die if you don't have data, but like on our vacation we had to shut down Sarrin, because of danger, if we didn't he /she could have died and his/ her essence would be gone.
So you don't have to eat, but you do have to have things like electric current to keep you alive, and that would be something similar to our human hearts, we need those to keep alive.

Chirps in response, instead of answering in a human voice.

Comm to Major Voss
I would like to meet with you, Oliver and Sin, in the Command Centre for a report on this latest away mission, but before we meet, have a shower, eat something.

I think I know why you chirped, I have to leave the ship soon, and you are going to be alone here, or you think you are going to be alone here, but you know you really are not alone, Sarrin is here with you,and you can communicate with me through the comm system, maybe Sarrin, can bring a map of Solaris up, and show me as a blip on it so you can see me on the station, or connect into the camera system on the Station and see me as I move around on the station.
Pours another drink, and drinks it.
For now, I have about an hour or an hour and a half, thinking that Oliver will have a big meal, and I am going to lay down and have a nap, will you wake me after an hour and a half?

Thank you.
Laying down on the lounge chesterfield, yawning and emotionally and mentally exhausted, she mentally sends an "I love you" to Arthur, right before drifting off into slumber.

Sits on the back of the chesterfield, as a guard looking for any danger approaching.

Wakes up, but still groggy, would like more sleep, she gets up, smiles and pets the bird avatar, puts the bottle away, and gets herself a protein smoothie, for once, she would like to drink herself into oblivion, and not worry about anything, yet she knows she will never do that, and it doesn't solve anything, nor make the pain go away.
Drifter, I'll talk to engineering about making you a body to fly around Solaris, but for now I have to duties to attend to, I'll be back when I can.
Leaves the ship, drinking her protein smoothie, and gets on the TTT for the Command Centre.

(Enters Repair Bay 1)
Oh good, Gordon I am glad you are here. Have you completed diagnostics to the Drifter yet? I want to know all the repair needs, IMMEDIATELY!

(Acknowledging Smythe's arrival)
It warms my Gel packs to hear your voice Mr. Pebbington-Smythe. Am I to assume the creative genius behind much of my technology is doing the diagnostics himself?

Gordon: A few burned out cells sir and the forward weapons array looks a bit disheveled, but I think it will be only a matter of hours for repairs. I'll let you know as soon as they are completed.
Winston: Thank you Gordon, I knew I had the right man for the job.
Hello Sarrin. Its good to hear you again. Nice name. I understand from Captain Thomas that is what you like to be called now. And no, LOL I am just checking in with my excellent staff. But I do want to ask you something. Do you identify as male or female? Or is that even a question that has an answer?

Post by Drifters Onboard Computer on Jun 18, 2019 23:14:07 GMT -5
I consider that a valid question sir. And Captain Thomas also asked during our journey.
I do not consider myself one gender over the other. I am me, I am Sarrin.
Why do you ask?

Well Sarrin, I didn't have the opportunity to go over my idea with the Captain yet. But since you were interested in getting a name...how about a face to go along with that name?

Post by Drifters Onboard Computer on Jun 19, 2019 18:48:21 GMT -5
I hadn't even considered that option Mr. Pebbington-Smythe. I am still not interested in male or female attributes. So how would you accomplish this?

Sarrin, I've been working with all my techs on the holographic interface in the Holo-suites aboard Solaris. We have made a lot of progress in the holographic field as of late and I thought about you right away. I think when the Captain or whomever is talking to you, there ought to be a face to go with the personality. Much more user friendly if you will. We humans work better that way.
Now our technology isn't as advanced as the Ancients who blessed this station and created the Holo-suites, but I'm proud of our advances and would like to share them with you. If you give the word, I would like to install the program, gender neutral and all. This is strictly your call. Without your permission, I turn and walk!

From the ship,
And what about me?

(Looking at the ship) Drifter?  Amazing! I know the Captain told me you became sentient, but I had no idea you were a talking sentient being. This does make things more interesting. Do you feel the need to have a male/female humanoid presence? I guess I need to change the way I address you both. Computer, I shall call you OBC for (onboard computer) and Drifter, I shall call you...well Drifter.  Does that work for all of us? |

Why wouldn't I talk? That makes no sense to not talk and be sentient.
I think Sarrin likes it where Sarrin is. Sarrin do you want things to change? I would like to leave the ship and travel around Solaris, I have a holographic birdie body on the ship, I would like a solid body to travel around Solaris and sit on the Captain's shoulder and the Captain calls me Drifter.
