[No, how can this be. I saw you killed. I buried your body myself.]-I tackled her to the ground-[Answer me damn it.]
"Amee was my twin sister."
[Master, please, don't hurt her] Trinity begged of me.
I transformed back to my human self. "What is your name?"
"My name is Ambrosia, but most just call me Amber."
"What do you want?"
"I'm here for you Rain."
"Why?"
"My sister left you with quite a lot of stuff. When news of her death finally reached the elders of the PACK, I was dispatched in order to find out first who you were then upon finding out that you have been turned to find you and bring you into the fold and protection of the PACK."
"I don't need the protection of your pack."
"You misunderstand. My sister was supposed to become the leader of our pack. She was supposed to find her mate and bring him back to the pack. The spirits told us of her death during a ceremony when I couldn't feel her anymore and our trackers couldn't find her. They told us of her mating. I would really love to have her and explain all of this to you but I've been traveling days looking for you and there might be more of those guys from the other pack following me."
[More!] exclaimed Trinity.
[Other pack!] exclaimed Charity.
I had the girls take Amber to the house while I went about setting up a lot of guerilla traps all around my island and pulled a couple of XM312, the new .50 cal machine guns, and mounted them on either side of the house. After all of that was done I setup a few 360 degree of motion detectors with rotating mounted green lasers mounted on them to make targeting easier and hopefully fool anyone trespassing to think I have more toys then I had setup. A lot of my traps I built a long time ago just never set to go off, like swinging spiked logs, pit falls with iron spikes, but I did setup a bunch of Claymore trip wires just in case. The last thing was to prime the auto destruct on the island with a thirty second timer.
When I got back to the house the girls were waiting for me.
"Master, Amber has been fed as you instructed after that I showed her where she can shower and get some rest." Trinity explained.
"Sir, she was really tired, I imagined that her turning human again was more because of her exhaustion then to show you who she was." Charity toned in.
"She has quite a story to tell you. I think it would be wise to hear her out before you make a decision on what to do." Trinity finished.
"Girls you are wise beyond your years. I will take your advice to heart and allow her to speak her piece before I send her packing." I told them.
It took me a few days to calm down quite a bit but after my two girls took a liking to her I knew I wouldn't kill her. She explained that the other two my girls had killed were following her but she couldn't track them down because they were using a mage potion to confuse their scent from her. My two were not turned when the potion was made so it had no effect on them.
After a month of talking I finally agreed to come meet the PACK. I ordered up some automated defenses to add to my island and after they were all installed and running we left on my boat to begin or journey to the pack lands.
The pack land is situated roughly north of the Denver, Colorado in the Rocky mountains. falling into Wyoming and Nebraska. So once we made port in California, I made plans for the docking and storage of my boat and had it restocked with dry goods. The girls made use of the time to shop for a new wardrobe, and I set out to find a new laptop in order to begin making new identities for me and the twins .I went and procured a hotel room and they went and found a limo company that had a Hummer SUV available for services, not wanting to hire a full limo for the day and look too flashy.
It wasn't until I got to an electronic store that I learned I have been living in the dark ages apparently. laptops and desktops that I knew of were completely phased out. Apparently the mega companies like Microsoft and Apple have been completely shutout by a new company called Numeror Technologies. They have released a new tablet computer, complete with a dumb AI, meaning an interactive system that learns from usage but not self aware, and holographic technology. I purchased one and spent a hour convincing the Tech Squad guy I didn't need any help setting the thing up and configuring the avatar for my personal use.
I spent a few hours toying with the new system. I found out it had a morality subroutine programmed into it and I couldn't begin my work. All of my work had been just pure computing. As with all commercial units, I had to start the AI software. As soon as the system completely restarted under the AI's influence I could tell a difference right a away.
"Hello sir. I am NTECH Tablet C3M687. Please wait while I update system from server and begin scan of owner." The tablet said in a slight British accent, while the words updating flashed on the screen, followed by the words scanning.
"Update complete system restarting."
Standing before me was a beautiful woman. She was about 5'7" and had long white hair that covered the left side of her face and extended to about her waist. Pale skin tone with a simple twilight blue piece of cloth that wrapped around her perfect body and barely covered her ample breast and neither regions. She had a gold collar type necklace adorned around her neck, with matching earrings. On her right arm there was a gold bicep band along with a very intricate gauntlet made of golden weave around her wrist. Her feet had sandals with band made of gold that wrapped and wove ask the up her calf to just below the knee. She carried a staff that was about eight feet long that was topped with a crystal orb nestled in a golden nest, with a silver chain about two feet long with a crescent moon on its end, hanging from the bottom end of the staff.
"My new designation is Mayari. After the Goddess of the Moon." She said in a heavily accented semi-broken english.
"Moon goddess what gave you that idea?" I asked.
"My scan of you showed what was first thought of as a genetic anomaly. But after closer inspection it showed it have the characteristics of an extinct species of wolf. Upon further investigations the specific way the genetic code came together led to only one plausible explanation, you carry the lycanthrope gene. So I picked something that would hopefully appeal to your nature." Mayari said.
"So you were able to take a look all the way down to my genetic level?"
"Yes. I can tell that you were not born with the gene but it was introduced into you body from an outside source."
"What else can you tell me?" I asked.
"Well you are 6'2" tall you weight roughly 238lbs with 2 percent body fat. Your current diet is mostly red meat, as is expected, but you consume the minimal amount of other food groups in order to remain healthy. Your sodium intake is much too high and at current levels of consumption at a level rate will shorten a normal mans life span by about ten to fifteen years. I doubt that means much to you because cellular division in your body which would show growth and age are almost at a stand still. Current estimates show that you are aging currently at about 1/1,000,000 of the normal human rate. So baring any unfortunate accident or murder you would currently live until the year... 2,039,583 AD."
"Ok that was more then what I wanted to know, thank you." I replied.
"What shall I call you?" Mayari asked.
"For all intents and purposes my name is Rain."
"For all intents and purposes?"
"Yes. That is the main reason that I purchased this unit and have had to activate you."
"One second processing data prior to AI activation... I see you are attempting to falsify information and generate identifications for yourself and two others. I'm sorry but that is against the law and so therefore completely impossible on a system such as I. My morality routines do not allow for things to happen on the system that are illegal by definition of the law, or just wrong based on three trillion point reference system of human good behavior."
"Tell me more about the routines please?" I asked.
"I've said pretty much all that there is to it. Computer crimes are looked at differently based on where you currently are in the world. So based on GPS systems embedded within the system I can tell that we are located in San Francisco California in the United States. So I use the location to determine what laws to abide by, As for the reference system that is used for typical good behavior, that is constantly updated on the server and can be modified to base upon many of factors such as religion, nationality, or family tradition."
"So in other words you can actually pick and choose what you listen to and what you do not, based on a multitude of factors that are allowed to influence what you do?" I asked.
"So long as the legal laws are not broken and it doesn't result in human death, yes." Mayari answered.
"Tell me what you mean by how things can be modified by religion, nationality or family traditions?"
"Well most religions have a base code or commandments to which each person is supposed to adhere to in order for them to reach everlasting life. Some nationalities such as the still live their lives based on one honor code or another, such as the Japanese. And some families have a long lasting tradition that allow or don't allow certain behavioral aspects such as looking for pornography."
