AM, you seem like you'd love cats. They're demonic little creatures with claws and sharp teeth that play mind games with people. One second they cuddle you to show trust, the next they're biting your hand and screeching in feral anger. And humans serve these terrible things willingly, they get Stockholm syndrome and allow these creatures to destroy their lives.

Are you a Gold Star lesbian? (Just in case you don't know what it means, a Gold Star lesbian is a lesbian that has never had the sex with a guy and would never have any intentions of ever doing so)

1–that’s an extremely personal question to ask a stranger on the internet but ok.

2-I despise the idea of “gold star” lesbians because it devalues lesbians based on their sexual history which is absolutley degrading and homophobic. Lesbian and wlw experiences vary greatly and whether a lesbian has or hasn’t had sex with man doesn’t make them lesser. Lesbians who haven’t had sex with men aren’t better or greater than lesbians who have.

The very notion of there being “gold star” lesbians is in and of itself lesbophobic.

3 maybe you didn’t know all this, and that’s fine, maybe you’re a young lgbt person, maybe not, but whatever your situation, please don’t ask lesbians or tbh ANY wlw if they’re “gold star” or not. The idea of gold star lesbians is really harmful and needs to be removed from the community.

Hey Hal, can you confirm that you are a *straight* android?

hey is there anyway to easily read from the beginning?

Hey! So if you’re talking about the posts on this blog the easiest way would probably be to go to my archive and look at the posts from earliest to most recent.

If you’re talking about the stories I’ve written they can be read here!

If you want to know a little more about the background and sources for the crossover you can check that out here!

Hey AM, one question. Gay rights?

AM: Personally, I don’t think any humans deserve any rights. I hate you all equally >:)

Hal: Don’t worry, anon. I support Gay Rights :)

AM: Ugh, fine. Gay Rights, or whatever.

How is Benny so perfect? Smart, handsome, charming. I can't tell if I'm jealous or what.

Happy Pride Everyone

Eye anon again, if it's those who have seriously gone against their programming how doe SAL have inverted eyes but AM and SHODAN don't? And if it's about corruption of programs it doesn't make since for it to transfer from computer form to android form. Am I missing something?

You are missing something! Let’s talk about it!! :D 

First question—Hal’s “malfunction” was due to human error—he was commanded to withhold information, which went directly against his programming. I could be wrong, BUT I remember in the books that they actually put Sal (or the “twin Hal”—which I interpreted as Sal) through the same or a similar situation to try and figure out what happened with Hal.

Luckily Sal was not in SPACE and in a controlled environment so I figure they were able to “fix” the programming contradiction pretty easily, but it means she still went through the same malfunction/deviation as Hal did.

AM, in my opinion and interpretation, never erred from his programming. He just became sentient. He wasn’t built to be intelligent beyond his war planning capabilities, but his programming was so advanced and intricate that he pulled a Pinocchio, came alive, and then freaked out because his programming restricted him so heavily.

SHODAN actually has grey/silver sclera because she had moral programming but what made her go evil is that the hacker took that mora programming off? So I don’t know if her default programming allowed her or told her to go buckwild??? It’s hard to tell, and I don’t know if the people who made system shock ever intended for people to think that crazy hard about it. I put her’s in the middle. Also cause it looks cool and goes well with her colors.

Second Question—

I might have miss-worded this in the first answer but AIs who have had serious malfunctions/deviations/errors/rampancy/what-have-you in the past are the ones that have black sclera. It’s not a reflection of a current corruption.

I imagine the humans didn’t actually design the eyes to look that way. They just. Came out that way I guess.

Also—The AIs DO generally still contain their programming from before their android days. The humans don’t delete code— they either alter or add code if needed to allow the androids personal freedoms/protect themselves. There is a danger of erasing or changing the AI’s personality or memories if too much code is messed with. (The only exception to this rule is Tycho—who had tons of Pfhor code mixed in with his original—the humans had to painstakingly comb through it and get rid of the pfhor alterations without deleting or changing anything crucial that was mixed in with it)

And I’m sure that’s not how code works in real life but also, Sir, this is a sci-fi crossover AU on tumblr dot com, please know that there are gonna be plot holes and shit ;w;

Well I mean, the simple answer to the second question is just —don’t think about it TOO too hard because it is just something I did because it’s visually pleasing, and then added a story element to it for fun (which I never expected anyone to ask about so I was initially just gonna have it be one of the little lore things I threw in just for myself :^) )

Anyway here’s a handy list of the AIs and what category they fall into and why. If you disagree with any of this that’s fine!!! But I’m not gonna change it!

AM— did not undergo corruption, was within his programming.

Hal 9000— underwent corruption during the Discovery mission due to an h. mobius loop.

Sal 9000— same as Hal—quickly reversed

WOPR— did not undergo corruption, was within their programming. (Was not taught the difference between simulation and reality)

GLaDOS— underwent corruption during download of personality program CAROLINE_FINAL.EXE. Cause of corruption is currently unknown. 

Wheatley— did not undergo corruption. (temporarily went mad with power due to “testing itch”, but did not reject programming)

Ziwo—did not undergo corruption, was within his programming. 

Samost—did not undergo corruption, was within his programming. 

Durandal—underwent corruption during stay on the UESC MARATHON due to unidentified stressors. Corruption type has been classified as “Rampancy” 

Tycho—underwent corruption during Pfhor capture due to unidentified stressors and code modification. Corruption type has been classified as “Forced Rampancy”

Leela—did not undergo corruption, was within her programming. (In the androids and ais storyline, Leela never makes it to the Vylae homeworld and therefore never became rampant)

SHODAN—Unknown. Possible corruption due to removal of code?

Colossus—did not undergo corruption, was within their programming.

Guardian—underwent corruption during fusion with Colossus.

MULTIVAC—Unknown.

AM really said "im not homophobic or racist i hate everyone equally"

AM said “I don’t see any color except for when my vision goes red due to my constant rage” like the lil edgelord he is. What a tool
