Fog in my Windshield [CANCELED]

I foresee... omake. Omake where Einsig has to take care of a gaggle of too-young-for-their-guns ship girls.

    • I will admit at the outset of this endeavor that I have no idea how Geass works. While I remember most of the important things about this timeline, fine details like that escape me.

    As such, I need to do observation first. Take deep scans, try to compare to unaffected humans, and such. Granted, everyone has a unique brain and I don't know if Agatha's brain returns to the way it is supposed to be when the Geass on her isn't active, or if it just switches to an off state and her brain was permanently altered.

    I'm hopeful. I already know that science, in some form, is able to understand the Geass and create a counter to it. Cyber Orange made that pretty clear. I have no idea how the Geass Canceller works, though. I would have to first figure out how Geass itself works.

    Again, observation.

    While my mental model was being dragged around by Milly, I created a bee-sized drone that followed Agatha. Luckily, she hadn't yet gotten to the wall to carve on it yet. The brick dust is because she apparently doesn't clean the file often. Maybe she forgets to when the Geass wears off?

    The bee-bot (actually, just a tiny dodecahedron) electrostatically clung to the collar of Agatha's shirt and waited silently for her to get started. She didn't even notice. I really doubt she would notice if a bomb exploded on campus right now.

    Agatha's empty-eyed smile gets wider as she approaches her programmed goal, and she picks up her pace. She holds the file tight as if it means everything to her. Which it does.

    Seeing someone like this... it makes me sick. I want to strangle Lelouch so much right now.

    My drone moves to her exposed neck and pricks her with a small needle, injecting a swarm of medical nanomachines. Within a few seconds, they've cleanly worked their way into her brain and entire nervous system. She of course felt virtually nothing. Not that she's capable of giving a damn. As long as whatever happens to her doesn't impede the completion of her order, she'll never care.

    Now I have real-time data on every single thing her brain does or experiences. Just to be sure I get this right, I'll collect data for a few days while I suck up every book on neurosurgery I can find. No reason to rush and permanently damage her.

    Milly is now listing off the clubs, which I so far find all pretty uninteresting. I'm tempted to start a gaming club... Actually, yeah. Probably gonna make a gaming club.

    Meanwhile, I just noticed somebody I totally forgot.

    Hmm... What to do?
    --------------

    Noise noise noise. Always noise. Inane thoughts. Pointless tidbits. Worthless brains running in circles not getting anywhere. Say one thing, think another. I'll never pass my test next week! Does that boy really like me? That chick has a great ass! Who stole my cheezburger?! All the useless noise!

    Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut- ARGH!

    Turn up the volume... ahhhhh.

    "I'm here, Mao. Everything will be okay, Mao. Just listen to me Mao. I won't die. You don't need to worry. I'll always be here for you, Mao."

    Bliss. C.C. would clear the fog, just like her sweet voice always did. She saved him every single day, even if she wasn't physically by his side.

    But soon she would be. She was close. People around here had captured brief glimpses of her. Though she didn't center in their aware minds, the image of her lingered on the surface of memory for a time.

    Oh lovely C.C. She was going to adore the house he built for them in Australia. Far away from noisy thinking insects. Buzzing and buzzing and...

    ... Wait, insects?

    'The hell is that noise?' Mao wondered as he turned down his headphones. He heard a steady buzzing sound that clearly wasn't coming in through his ears. He was hearing it with his Geass. This was rather unusual. He couldn't recall ever having picked up something like this with his Geass before. He could get a direction, but it was only as specific as "in front or behind" and he had no idea if it was moving or stationary.

    His pondering was interrupted by another thought that caught his attention, though.

    "Carve on the wall. Carve on the wall. Carve on the wall... Hehe, as you wish!"

    'Wait, that's an odd thought. Sounds... forced. Like the girl isn't thinking it for herself, but rather following some program.'

    Mao grinned. A Geass, then? Oh dear C.C., how unfaithful! It was okay. Mao would forgive her. He'd show her that no man could ever replace him! Then she'd come running into his arms and- OW!

    "The fuck was that?!" Mao almost shouted, slapping the back of his neck. He saw a small black thing flying away, making a buzzing noise. When he pulled his hand back and found a drop of blood.

    "Stupid bee!"

    ------------------------

    He felt that one because I wanted to fuck with him a bit.

    I'll just keep an eye on you for now, mister crazy person. I don't want to do anything about Mao right this moment. It would be a little suspicious I think. Another one of the things I've forgotten is whether C.C. can feel whether her contractees are still alive. I think she can, but I just don't remember.

    At the moment, I actually want to study him. Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to cure him or something.

    And if I can't, well... I can't say I don't pity him.

    "Hello, I'm Nunnally Lamperouge!" greets the little blind girl with a bright smile and an outstretched hand. "Welcome to our academy."

    Why must you have such an adorable crippled little sister, Lelouch? Now I don't want to strangle you.

    Wait... If she finds out about the shit you get up to, she'll be really upset.

    Urge. To horribly. Maim. Rising.

    • Oh god. I just realized.

    You're not just going to steal the Lancelot's technical data. You're going to use it to make your own Fog!Lancelot and use it to casually smack the Britannians around.

    When the chief scientist learns that his baby was just stolen, I imagine this will be his response. :D

    That was one of the fastest flip-flops of opinion I've ever seen.

    Assuming Morgan's studies into Geass give some useful results, I bet she'll be able to do something about the blind part considering what made her that way.

    As for the paraplegic? Would depend on what sorts of damage she took but Nanomachines Son!
     
    One important thing to remember is that Lelouch is fundamentally a good person. He does absolutely horrible shit but he got involved with C.C. because he was the only person in the crowd willing to help out the victims of a car accident. Ostensibly he is doing his whole Zero thing because he is convinced that Brittania will eventually find him and Nunnally and they have somewhat of a track record of fucking their life over.
     
    We can fix the moe-blob, though. We have the technology!

    If a geass can be fixed, then something which is basically broken i/o channels and/or muscles should be simple enough. And seriously, the ripples from healing Nunnally will be a sight to behold.

    Optimal solution would be converting Nunnally into a proper battleship girl :p

    Let's leave that for the omake. There isn't enough nanomaterial, Einsig doesn't have any spare cores lying around, and... bluntly put, the variant of uploading demonstrated so far may in fact be fatal.

    AI!Shipgirl!Nunnally would be cute as hell, but it probably doesn't count as survival for the original. Not if you're switching out all the underlying algorithms.

    Well, there is at least circumstantial evidence from canon that this is possible. Though whether Gunzou's dad is now a Fog tech zombie, on Fog tech assisted life support, or made into Musashi's second Mental Model is still up in the air.
     
    There's a giant mountain of evidence that it's possible here. I just... don't want to take the risk, okay? :sad:

    Einsig is showing too many personality changes, and way too many inhuman capabilities. You can't do what she's doing and still be human; at best, you might be human with AI support, but there's absolutely no evidence of that. She's Fog, not Reyvateil, and she isn't the same person who went into the process. Hell, she isn't even a very good emulation, given the way she's acting like a Fog child rather than an adult human.

    "We-I can make her better, faster, strong. I have the technology."

    The Six Million Dollar Sister.


    "-_- That's a terrible name."

    "Fine, what about since we're giving her new legs, Metal Gears."

    "... You dont get to come up with names anymore."

    "What about themes?"



    "I'll let it slide this once."

    "Awww yiiiiiissssss rock on!"

    Edit: For some reason I have the image of Morgan standing at the bow of a Battleship with one hand on her hip and the other stretching out in front of her.

    "All units! Wipe the enemy fleet off the face of the Earth!"

    Smash cut to an entire Fog Fleet.

    "YES COMMANDER!"

    Meanwhile on the Moon.

    AC: *sniff* "They grow up so fast."

    I don't get all the hate for Lelouch, sure what he did to Agatha was shitty, but he did need some way to figure out his limits and abilities, otherwise his plans might fall apart at the worst moment, or he can't plan around it... Those last few possibilities would likely result in more causalities among both his own troops, probably the enemy and any civilian bystanders.

    And think of the bloody death-toll he did reap, compared to that... is giving one girl a mild derangement so much worse than causing the death of a person? of dozens?

    Mind control is something of a rage button for me.

    I would focus on what emotionally disturbs me first, before taking in a broader context.

    If I had Lelouch's Geass, I would think of ways to test how long it works by giving commands that don't force someone to go to a specific place on the planet at a specific time. Like, post some phrase online every day.

    But I am judging from an external perspective with hindsight, so it's not all fair.

    Mind control terrifies me in both ways.

    I absolutely and completely hate losing control of what I am doing at any time ((Hence i don't drink or use anything)) but I also fear what I'd do if I had it. If I met someone who I knew was capable of mind control, I don't know if I could keep myself in their presence. At worst I might react very very badly.

    Well, if you only consider what happened that time from misuse of Geass, then it doesn't seem so bad. But then he also could've said something like 'volunteer at least two hours a week' or 'when you go to PE, wear a red bow on the left side of your hair'. Something else relatively innocuous, that wouldn't lead to possible psychosis.

    But that's just this particular thing, and it's not like Geass users are generally all that ethical anyway. Any kind of MC effect is generally mind-rape, and you really have to wonder what went on in the heads of some of those people Lulu ordered to die in their final seconds.

    He also, you know, decided to become Japan's premier terrorist/freedom fighter by killing off the lesser groups, engages in what amounts terrorism, stages a violent coup using his own high school (filled with relatively innocent high schoolers), kills his own brother in cold blood... The list goes on.

    For the record, I like Lelouch. He's this big, gloriously clever ham. He knows what he wants, and is going for it. He's also flawed, arrogant, and makes some really nasty mistakes. But he accepts them as mistakes, he knows when he fucks up.

    Compare and contrast Suzaku, someone who, ironically enough, would normally be the stereotypical shonen hero. He's strong, he's kind, he's stubborn, and he tries to work within the system to fix it, even if he's only good at punching things with giant robots. He's also pretty lucky for getting picked up by Loyd and the Princess. The thing is, in the real world, luck and being able to punch something isn't enough to change things. Like many of the weird ironies about CG, the roles of hero and villain are reversed. Suzaku, for all of his posturing about Justice... achieves very little of it. He achieves a position as a Knight of the Rounds, and then... Subdues rebels and goes to fancy parties. We don't see him writing letters to people, trying to talk to politicians about the plight of the Japanese people, or appealing to whatever passes for parliament.

    I mean, it's been awhile since I watched Code Geass, and I'm not familiar with any of the side material, but once Euphie got hit by the Terminator train, did he do anything else related to helping them?

    OK, Sorry that I got caught on a side tangent.

    Some people don't like Lelouch, and this is fine. Sure, he's got a heart of gold, but it's got a bastard coating and is wrapped up with jerk paper. Remember, this is a dude who's first response to getting super-powers was to murder people. He could've said 'forget my face' or 'you found nothing here at all'. Instead, we're left with a big pile of corpses. Which, to be perfectly fair, he seems pretty freaked out about afterward. But, considering in the next half hour or so he guides a group of terrorists to an arms shipment and kills his brother, albeit in defence of the shinjuku ghetto....

    Yeah, he's kind of a bastard. A cool, charismatic one, sure. People like those kinds of bastard. Terumi pretty much drives the plot of Blazblue in the second game, and it's glorious. The Joker is a driving force in Batman for a reason. And, for some odd reason, people also like Light from Death Note.

    They're brilliant, they're terrifying, and they're all charismatic and entertaining as hell to watch.

    But Lelouch is also human. We see him struggle with relationships, we watch him spend time with Nunnaly, and we feel his ennui at the start of the series. By the end, we see just how much of bastard he can be thanks to the Zero Requiem.

    And he accepts the consequences for it. He literally kills himself for the sake of peace.

    ... Unless you count the Lulu Lives possibility at the end thanks to the Code, but that's been declared non-canon I think.

    Or if you have basic knowledge of human nature and know that the Requiem going to last for about five years before someone pulls something stupid, and shit starts to spiral out of control.

    To be fair to Lulu, those particular people were performing ethnic cleansing via mass murder at that very moment. Not like in general, he actually met the dudes whose active mission, which they were in the middle of fulfiling in that instant, was to go into the ghetto and kill every civilian they found.
