Getting Geth

[tasteoftruth]

Some people went to college and found religion. Some found love, or a life's calling, or recreational drugs.

Byrne Faraday found the Resol'nare. It was attractive enough to someone already dissatisfied with his current society and interested in a tight-knit group with true meaning in their lives that didn't come from a broken set of codes and social mores. Also their armor was pretty sweet.

He went through his training at the same time as his generalized colloquium courses, wondering to his Mandaloran mentor if he could get double credit for having to balance schoolwork with getting punched a lot in the face. No dice, but history had never been his favorite subject anyway.

The implants did unnerve him a little. No being alone in his head, that seemed all right, he was extroverted even for a human. But if they dug in a bit further, stuck a wire in just the wrong place...well, the mando'ade's latest recruit might have a bit of a drooling problem.

Pretend my icon is geth

Every newly-formed unit began with an accounting of all of its constituents. Every program was linked and accounted for, with an index and data buffer. They were now Unit 1226, and they had achieved their first consensus.

With internal matters settled, their attention turned to the neural systems that lay outside their new home. Initial testing had already been completed before they were uploaded. Now it was time to initiate the full, functional interface.

"We are Unit 1226," they did not speak, but with a connection to the auditory cortex, they didn't need to. "Can you hear us?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I can hear you." Byrne rubbed at his ear out of reflex, chuckling at the newness, weirdness, coolness of it. Wow. Geth in the brain. This was going to make things odd for a while. "How's everything with you? Are you comfy in there?"

"All systems are functioning within expected parameters and we have achieved consensus." With neuro-auditory uplink achieved, visual systems were next. The implants were less intrusive, but as the geth understood it, humans felt a very strong personal connection to their vision.

Thus, a confirmation was recommended, to put the human at ease. "With permission we will test our connection to the ocular implants."

"One second." Byrne brings up one of his law texts, then settles into the bed and eyes his holo-poster across the room. Focus on close thing and reading, then far thing and reading the far thing. "Okay, go. Let's test things."

Super super weird.
