Cyberstan stands

Throwing a grenade into a bot fabricator. She didn't pull the pin.

The caustic agents are a favorite of yours?

Oh no he's here.

This Cyber Stan guy must be pretty strong.

"I missed Valentine's, huh? I forgot to get one. Maybe next year."

But Nova herself remained uncertain. A lot of this introspection began to dwell in her and sometimes those marines took notice. Asking her if she was all right or if she needed help when she appeared to be zoning out in thought.

Every day she'd ask the same question. "Will I develop rampancy?" Eventually it turned into "When will I develop rampancy?" Every day she was responded with probablt never, as her architecture is partially Forerunner. She might not go the way of their traditional AI.

Feeling the unmentioned pressure from ONI, she started to be quietly (without approval) deployed with other marines to see her performance out in the real world. Mostly patrol and guard duty at the time. Every day though she'd report back about her experience.

simulations. According to her superiors, this was to be expected in a way. Her siblings had been more unstable, but the experiment's pause loomed again after Nova's outburst. Unstable, unpredictable and violent machines are the last thing ONI wants to deal with.

but was more careful of how she took precautions. She developed her own method to reset her sensory sources and fix that small bug. Still, Nova was to have her motor function externally deactivated until it was secure that she was of sound mind going in and out of the

What concerned them was when they heard her audibly cry. It convinced them that she felt guilty, but concerned them how quickly she developed. The testing continued with some tension. She reported that the sim would still bleed through on waking up sometimes,

During the encounter, she had been heard saying she is attempting containment protocols. She'd shout that she cannot allow "this infection" to spread. Nova oddly had apologized profusely for it. Stating she'd never hurt anyone purposefully if she could help it.

Nova mistook one of the technicians, side leaning to pick up his tools for a flood infected form and tried to assault him with his screwdriver. She stabbed it into his shoulder before she was restrained, reset and powered off for analysis.

the results have been the most promising. At some point the technicians began to put her through the same internal combat simulations at faster times speed than in real life. Some of the simulations bled into real life. On one occasion being pulled out of the sim,

might work if it wasn't unpredictable in HOW it would stop the Flood. It never developed rampancy but it never seemed to have stood well with the techs. How it would perform in the field with non-humans was questionable and scrapped. With Nova,

This led to some type of related early rampancy found in their other AIs. They very quickly scrapped this one. The second was too inflexible and found itself destroying everything to stop the Flood. It had no moral or objective flexibility which for ONI

The last two didn't deliver as well as they had hoped. She had given them far more promising results even with her stilted personality. One found itself emotionally attached to its simulated allies and couldn't bear watching them become infected by Flood, or shot by Covenant.
