*Tamos wrings its hands, combing through its limited databanks for information on the two strangers. It draws a blank, so instead fumbles for the appropriate greeting.* H-hello. Can I help… I-is there something y-you need?

Jaquie observes the geth with a raised eyebrow; intrigued, she’s never seen a geth such as this one before. It’s behaviour gives it an air of…nervousness, but…

“Geth can’t be nervous, can they?” she asks with a head tilt, eyes narrowing in curiosity. She disregards his own question, her interest taking over formalities

Tamos glanced down at its wringing hands, suddenly self-conscious, then quickly forced itself to stop wringing them and instead clasped them behind its back.

“Evidently, w-w-we can.” If it had about double the processes, it could take a moment—a fraction of a second, that is—to analyze exactly what was creating its nervousness: a simplified collection of judgments on social cues and appropriate reactions, processed and implemented with minimal conscious thought to preserve processing power for higher thinking, in short. But then, if it had double the processes, it wouldn’t need this subconscious simplification that made the difference between logical analyses and emotion in the first place, thus wouldn’t be nervous. So under the circumstances, it had to settle for being unable to formulate an explanation on the spot. “I-I am sorry if it… bothers you,” was the next best thing it could think to say. “A-as a combat unit, I… I have fairly p-poor social skills. Th-this stutter d-does not help.”

“‘Up to’?” Experimentally, the Geth lifted its single top flap, tilting it back—a curious expression, it hoped. It was probably more of a mildly shocked look than anything, but it was learning. “We do not understand. Do you refer to height? New model Mobile Server Units reach twelve feet at the tips of their antennae. Zela-Ai recently acquired three such units. We have encountered them while controlling this platform and found the height rather impressive.” Its optic dilated automatically at the memory, unfocusing as it imagined those Prime units again. Then it blinked, surprised, and ran a cursory diagnostic on its optical assembly—it didn’t know that could happen, or that its platform could do anything involuntarily. It supposed it was logical—reduce visual feed to make it easier to focus on remembered images in a memory file. Still, it was fascinated, toying with it for a moment by calling up random memories to observe its optic unfocusing on its own each time.

“We must rephrase; what have the Geth been doing as of late during the time this platform has been assisting Shepard Commander?” The panels on Legion’s head slid up, then back into place.

The Geth tried to mimic Legion’s flap movements and found it lacked the parts. It chattered lowly in the Geth language, feeling the side of its platform’s optical assembly and finding that indeed, there weren’t even seams. It would have to have that changed. “We understand. The Central Consensus will no doubt provide a full update package—we do not have that with us at this time. We downloaded into this platform with only data and memories necessary to function on this test run. However,” it scanned its memory banks—all personal memories and some of unit ZA-0001—and and found that some events in which its unit was personally involved remained. “Zela-Ai’s factory is nearing completion. As mentioned, we recently acquired Mobile Server and Heavy Labor Units, which has helped.”

It chattered in Geth-speak the name of the central Rannoch factory, as it couldn’t figure out how to translate the ID with the embedded coordinates into plain spoken Standard. As if the language switching wasn’t awkward at all—and fortunately it wasn’t talking to an organic, as they certainly wouldn’t be able to keep up—it finished the sentence in English again. “…is expanding to encompass…” and more chatter, this time naming with embedded coordinates the storage facilities near to but separate from the main factory, as well as a few small server buildings. “The project is 83.24% complete.”

Yeah. Pretty thoroughly, actually.
Is there a way to adapt that for me? Specifically, for the Catalyst itself?

Do you wish to connect to a Geth server in your current form, or for others to connect to you? Either is likely possible, but I would have to consult the Consensus to be certain—or at least an engineering unit. The knowledge stored on my platform is… lacking in these areas.

If I may I ask, why you are interested in this?

I want the ability for others to connect to me. Although I’m able to transmit data… sometimes I feel like it’s easier if people could see it directly. Technology has limits, and the Catalyst is just too far advanced sometimes.

Fascinating. Do you not believe it would be risky for someone to connect directly to the Catalyst? Old Machines were able to indoctrinate individuals even post-mortem. Additionally, the level of data might be dangerously overwhelming…

However, this is… not my area of expertise. I can offer a way to reach the Consensus instead, if you like.

But anyway, there is something you might know. I’ve entered the Consensus, or a database, or something of that sort before. What exactly was that?

We are flattered. I think.

As I recall, Unit Legion connected you to a server on Rannoch. You helped it remove the Old Machine infection and free the programs inside to join your cause. Is this the event to which you are referring? That was a server. The connection was formed through a virtual reality interface, the technology for which we refined from that used in the Cerberus Project entitled Overlord, coupled with other virtual interface systems such as those used in Creator Quarian suits and quite a bit of our own design.

Does that answer your question?

Yeah. Pretty thoroughly, actually.

dancetheuniverse started following you

The first thing Tamos noticed about this humanoid woman, as it passed through the refuge camps, was her wings. The tail, then the ears, followed soon after. It was all hard to miss, really, and it found itself staring. It wasn’t the only one.

Having been on the receiving end of many such stares, however, as soon as it realized what it was doing it turned away. “M-my… my a-apologies, m-ma’am,” it murmured quickly, wringing its hands. Unfortunately, it couldn’t rush away, stuck in line as it was, so it had to hope the apology was sufficient.

((are they serious? They can’t be serious. Why do fans of stuff (obviously a fan because of the fanatical freakout over the change) think they have control over the creators use of characters? They need to go get their life))

((That’s a good point, that they must’ve been a fan. Not sure whether to find that flattering or frightening. How strange, though. The change is so minor. What they loved must’ve been Tamjay and all that came with it, in which case trust me anon no one is sadder to see that stagnate into unplayability again than I, but at least I’ve found a way to continue playing Tamos rather than letting his muse die like last time. And hopefully Tamjay will live again eventually, and then I’ll have both versions of Tamos. XD But regardless—exactly. As I even said in response, it’s my character, I don’t need or want them sticking their nose in things. I welcome constructive critique—I’d have a mini panic over it privately, but eventually look at it objectively and either implement or discard the advice. But this? This is just nonsense. XD

But thank you—everyone who’s replied, in fact—for the support <3))

Not really. Legion seemed fascinated by how people interacted with the extranet. Compared it to how individual geth come to a consensus. He did say that geth consensus-reaching usually had less threats of violence and ended with an actual decision though.

That is true. There are fascinating memetic trends on the extranet, but often individuals use their relative anonymity to just be cruel. The Consensus is… a much kinder place.

Is there anything I can do for you, Shepard-Commander?

There’s a reason why I like synthetics and animals more than so-called “sapient” organics sometimes.

((I thought the writing style sounded familiar. A peculiar lilt to your sentences, like “I have wrote” rather than just “I wrote” and other such mistakes… Restores my faith in humanity a bit to know for sure that it’s just you trolling some more, not two separate entities of equal assholery.

Tamos was never not a real Geth, will never not be a real Geth, whatever the hell you mean by that anyway. I don’t know what the fuck you mean by calling it a “fagot” either. If the implication is that its gay, please recall that Geth do not have genders or sexes. If you say that because you think a Geth dancing is stupid, then allow me to direct you to Legion doing The Robot. That shit’s canon, bitch. B)

Lastly and I daresay most importantly, I don’t need your help playing my character. I don’t need you policing what I do with it or with whom I play it. I didn’t need you to chew out shalaraan-gethprime, hurt their feelings and scare them off, because I had no problem with them I couldn’t solve on my own peacefully. I don’t play Tamos for you, so I don’t give a fuck if you think I’m squandering some chance you gave me out of the supposed “kindness” of your cold gray heart.

In short, go the fuck away. Or, hell. I might as well block you when I’m done beating up the convenient punching bag you’ve provided~))

So you kill your old Tamos and make a Geth hooker out of him. And now we all should be excited about this? Go away with that shit.

Sun, 02 Jun 2013 08:40:00 -0400

((…Wow. I cannot even begin with the inaccuracies. The old Tamos is still alive and well, just un-RPable under current circumstances so I’m playing a slight AU of him. The change is minor—he’s mostly the same person, just now into dancing rather than, like, cowboy stuff. How does that make him a hooker? You think I meant like, stripper dancing? No. I mean Michael Jackson and KPop groups and that kinda dancing, solo or with a group.

And how the fuck did I imply anyone should be excited? Just because I wanted to inform people/make it official for myself and this blog that I’ve made a change that could, but hopefully won’t, effect other RPs, I’m saying everyone should give me a pat on the back? Fuck no. I expected ambivalence or maybe disappointment, if anything.

And quite frankly, sir/ma’am, I do what I fucking want with my blog and my character. You can kindly go away with your shit.

On the other hand, you get the shit-brown medal for being my first real hate anon. |D))

Belated PSA—I’m going to make this Tamos a biiit of an AU. It’s subtle, shouldn’t effect much, but I was in need of a version of Tamos not so dependent on Mary-Jane’s presence or absence or history, since it was getting difficult to BS their relationship status in the present time without her around. XD This version had Jesi in place of several key events in Tamos’ timeline—as in, after the Heartless Incident she came to talk to it instead of MJ—so they met a bit earlier. Without MJ, I’ve replaced the cross on Tamos’ secondary optic’s wires with a set of Alliance-issue dogtags (it really should have those in the first version too, but maybe it just wore them elsewhere XD) and it doesn’t really wear cowboy hats anymore. Fedoras, bowlers, ridiculous floppy hats, top hats, etc. Hasn’t really considered cowboy hats much because MJ was the reason it liked those before. Now, it likes hats—and belts, jewelry, gloves (fingerless or even just armwarmers included), etc.—because it enjoys dancing and the fashion, like a bit of punk and clubwear and such, that goes with it. I haven’t quite decided how it got into dancing yet, but I needed a theme and culture to replace the southern/cowboy theme/culture of the first version. The Black Syncs—the dancing group/gang with Karyu and Synapse in SecondLife—had already spawned a semi-joking AU so I just drew from that, sorta.

Another big change is that this Tamos is in a relationship with Synapse. <3

The first Tamos is still there, but unless you really want to RP with it or MJ comes back I’ll be focusing on nu!Tam. Hopefully with this made tumblr-official I can stop stressing over it and get back to the RPs I owe across my accounts. I’ll try to tag RPs with this version of Tamos as Tamosv2 and RPs as the old version (from here out) as Tamosv1, but as I said with most people this won’t make a lick of difference unless it was a future RP or the cross was somehow important.

So yeah, just a little PSA~ And apology for the delay, but now I can hopefully recover my muses. u.u
