NOVEL NEXT Chapter 54 Drawback [OLD]
[Gundam Nova]
March 27th, I.J.C 200, Atlas class Ship, The Klasna, sleeping quarter.
[Honestly! Why would you do something so reckless!] The sound of my angry daughter rings around the room, right now, I am kneeling in front of my Laptop, and in front of me is my daughter and Klara who is crossing her arms and making a terrifying face.
[Do you know what would happen if you get even a few nicks in your data form? Your data would be incomplete, your memory would get erased, and your whole personality would then get fixed by the brain! Trying to find what is right and what is wrong and in the process create another person instead!]
She said as she displayed a picture of a stickman getting a piece of him cut off, and a very well-explained detail on top.
“W-well, I was”
“Shut up…You don’t have a palace to talk in here.” I quickly did as told and lowered my head, god why was she so scary?! The cold tone of hers sends a chill down my spine as I try to make myself small.
“...First, not only did you not explain shit to me, you went and did it without even warning me, then I can’t even that that gear off you because I don’t know what would happen if I forcefully took it off! Then, suddenly your Laptop acting strange with the anti-virus going off for nothing then I need to turn it off, and after that, I need to constantly monitor your progress at sudden file scanning! Do you know how stressful it is? Knowing someone I care about could die!?”
“Well…uhh I wouldn’t die…I will just get booted out of my-”
[Wrong point!] / “That's not the point of our conversation!”
“Urgh!” They both said at the same time, staring me down at the ground…
“I’m…sorry,” I said, with the most sincere voice I could make, which finally made Klara stop crossing her arms and sigh.
“What will I do with you…” She slum down to her chair…and stared at me. “Don’t ever do that again, you hear me? If you do and something happens…I will be…sad.”
Her voice cracked at the last part, making me feel guilty, so guilty that I wanted to look up but I felt doing would make her more mad, so I did the best thing I knew of.
“I’m truly sorry, I won’t do-...be so reckless again, I would warn you of it before I do it,” I said to Klara, keeping my head low as I felt her stare at me.
“Promise me you won’t do it again.” She said what I fear the most, is the impossible promise.
“I can’t promise that,” I said flatly, finally allowing myself to look up, straight to her face, there was a shocked look to her but Just as she was about to protest, I stopped her with my words first.
“Link is a future of Mobile Suit technology, the fact that Agellus of all people, has this technology in hand is a catastrophic discovery, if not for it being locked away then, we would lose the war, and there would be no more Earth. I need to study this program and bring it to its full potential, I won’t say there is no risk but…I will do my best to make it work.”
I said my reasoning, I rest my case, even if she refused it I will still do it, I can’t allow something this dangerous to be something unknown, I need to study it so I could make a counter or even overcome it and make it mine, but I can’t allow it to be an unknown variable in the future, it too dangerous…
“Then…Let me borrow Klyara and I will work on it for you.” Klara said, her face was a look of resignation. It was a response I didn’t expect…”What? What with your look? I know that you would still do it anyway, so I will just work on it, look, you won’t have time to work on this thing but I on the other hand will have more time and I have the perfect place to work on too. If I can’t stop you, I will just make it the safest for you, but! Promise me, that you won’t use it without my permission.”
Klara said her demand, was just one simple thing, don’t use it without her permission. But…it feels…heavy. Why…is such a simple promise so heavy?
“I…promise…” Right, I could do it, just…have to do it, It was a promise, from Klara after all.
“Good! Now then! Klyara, right? Upload your data into my phone, also send a copy of the program for me, I will work on it, right now.” Klara said lightly, as she took out her phone, and before I knew it, Yohai- Klyara had already transferred herself into Klara’s phone.
“U-um…is there anything…I could help-”
“You go and repenting yourself on the bed! If you touch your laptop, I will make you suffer something worse than hell.” Klara instantly shut me down and I could do nothing but go and sit alone on the bed…it was quite…lonely but this is my punishment…right, this is my punishment…
But somehow…I feel…more tired than usual…
My eyes feel heavy, and I don’t…want to resist it, so I…slowly fall down on the bed, and slowly, let my tiredness overcome me and take me to sleep.
March 27th, I.J.C 200, Atlas class Ship, The Klasna, sleeping quarter. Klara’s POV.
“Hm?” I heard something so I turned my back, only to see Yoha collapsing down onto the bed…
“Yoha!” I quickly moved to her side, she was breathing heavily, her head was hot, and the temperature was rising!
[What’s wrong? Is Mama OK?!] Klyara asks worriedly from the laptop,
“I don’t know, her temperature is rising rapidly, first I need to cool her down.” Quickly I move to grab some plastic bags and fill them with the ice from the fridge, before warping them in clothes, before placing them on her head.
After I placed the ice on top of her head, I could see that she was breathing much more smoothly than before.
“Do you want to tell me your thoughts before I call the medical staff?” I ask Klyara, and she keeps quiet for a bit.
[The digital space leaves too much out of her, it seems like the overwhelming information that is being placed into her brain when she scans the files is trying to occupy the limited space of human brain capacity, right now, her body and brain are overclocking to delete most of the data she got just now. That was the best explanation I could come up with, after all, the Link program still needs to be researched, and the drawback is not something I know of.]
She said with a regretful voice, it seemed she blamed herself for not expecting there to be a drawback, I can’t blame her, after all, I don’t see it too, after all, Yoha is good at hiding herself, so It was no wonder that she could hide her fatigue or anything.
“No worry, I will call the staff, meanwhile, could you scan the program? I don’t know if I can work it like Yoha though, I need to see it myself to know.” I quickly call the staff, and soon, they come and take Yoha away, without telling me where her room gonna be.
“Klyara, you could get into eclectic current, right?” I ask the AI hidden in the laptop.
[Yes! How do you know?]
“I saw you cool down the laptop, well, can you look after Yoha? Sneaking past the security should be easy for you, check when she woke up too and tell me her room…oh, give me the route to the medical bay too since the map here sucks.”
[Understood! However, I would still do it even if you don’t tell me, The scanning process will take a long time, My estimation is 5 hours 45 minutes 2 seconds, and down, So please Relax while I do the work!]
The girl said as she quickly disappeared, I could see the light fickle a bit before it turned back to normal…How did she do it anyway? Mah, I don’t care though, first I should see the code myself even while she scans the files.
“Ahh…such a pain…but well, maybe, this is a good opportunity, after all…it not something even the government is known of, so If I could make this work it would go into Yoha and my achievement and finding a job would be easier, Alright! Here come the all-nighter!”
I Cheer myself loudly and quickly start working.
