Timeline: October 18th 4566; Morning

After the time she took to consul Sera, Remi was thankful she did not consume all of the scotch in that body she had acquired. She got up and threw on her short shorts still in the spaghetti strong tank she had been wearing under her shit. She put the scotch away and decided to get fully dressed putting her shirt back on and some sandals. She then returned to reading. For a couple moments she got lost in her reading then something occurred to her; the 15 new messages waiting indicator on her VX had not gone away. She checks the messages... Spam... Scott... Scott... Scott... More Scott... Spam... Her paycheck; she had more than enough credits and didn't care too much... More from Scott... the school... the school four more times. She looked over the school's messages... Yelling at her about missing class. She shrugs that off and goes to the Scott messages. She had discussed something with him over VX message during the whole Kyle Dee "interview" and gave him an idea prior to that... The last message was him having found an AI, set it up and had working prototypes. Maybe she should read her messages more often. She gets up and heads outside to search for Aidan and coming up behind him she began to prod him lightly.
 
Aidan was reading in one of lounge chairs, a bag he used as an impromptu ottoman for his long legs. "Something on your mind?" He said.
 
"Dr. Johnson has a new toy, master..." She only added the master part to be purposefully inappropriate. There was no one in the room anyway as Kyle and his daughter had moved into the other living quarters bunkspace.
 
scotts preparing the toys for presentation to show of a "BRILLIANT" idea 
 In his head scott worries if this tool goes too far but at the same time understands with the right parameters it should be safe...aint that a gilded invite to MURPHY if he ever heard of one almost as bad as the dreaded "whats the worst that could happen"(edited)
 Aidan sighed as he closed the book, getting up going to the food slot. "Coffee. Extra cream, half sweet, large." Grabbing the large cup he asked, "This is important now because........"

Sumire commented. "Would you rather I just make out with you... we have a day to kill on a shuttle... why not do something useful... or did you want to do that date now... Your the one who stayed on my teams shuttle dear...." She smirked at him and laughed. "Anyway the good doctor wants to do his whole... screwed up teleportation thing and... show us the thing... no idea when he is coming... I really should check my VX messages... Watch him already having come when you and I were in bed together..."
 
"The thing you must realize about Johnson is that everything is always important, not matter if it is or not." Aidan said, sipping the mug, he took the lid off.
 
scott scoops up and stores the tools in his bag and shoots a message to Aidan asking if he could poof over and present the new toy
 
Aidan shoots a VX back said he could and added that he secretly hoped he missed the shuttle, just a bit.
 
Scott messaged so there wass no way he wants to poof anywhere and accidentally appear in the middle of sex or anything like that
Scott replies back "you really think a missed shuttle would stop me?" as he poofs to the location of aiden
 
Aidan sits back down and grabs Surmire and unceremoniously pulled her into his lap.
 
Remi took a seat as Aidan sipped his drink. "its a cool invention none the less-" She stops talking as she is moved on to Aidan's lap and Scott appears in the room., just to make Scott less comfortable.
 
 "hello sir hope im not interrupting anything" Scott said.
 
"Nothing we won't continue when you're gone. Carry on Scott." Aidan offered.
 
ok basically at the core this idea is based on an old television show from a LONG time ago, the system this was based on was a load of networked brains basically in a crude ai for lack of a better term. Basically it look many factors to basically predict how dangerous a person or group could be such as criminals or terrorists
 
"Great story....and...." Aidan said deadpan.
 
"Not just that but the state of them mentally like using body queues to predict if someone is going to go off their shitter... for example like Mr. Dee..." Sumire added.
 
scott opens the bag and activates th portable emitter for the upgraded emh
 
'Okay....let's assume that I don't have any idea about what the two of you are actually talking about." Aidan said, then added, "Becasue I don't."
 
"He is making us a tool to be able to like... well let me give an example...." Sumire commented.
"So lets say sad depressed man number 12 decides he finally had had enough of life and wants to take an entire building with him... If we got called in before he goes all crap happy we scan him with this and the system will advise us that he is going to shit and advise us to detain him; the weapon that goes with it can then be used to incapacitate the person..."
 
atm im planning these tools to be nonlethal and stay that way. Scott said.
 
"So we track the movements of every person everywhere all the time? A bit big brotherish." Aidan said
 
"No; not really... its only attached to these guns..." Remi replied
 
only as far as the guns can see. Scott commented 
Remi:"We have to aim the gun at the person for it to scan them."
Scott:"yep"
 
"Which means we'd have to know where depressed man #12 is...to shoot him." Aidan asked.
 
Scott: and its not as far as say a sniper rifle
 
"and this is going to be deployed where and by whom to shoot them with what?" Aidan said, still not getting the whole story.
 
Remi: "its a pistol we keep on us."
 
"I can already shoot people with my pistol." Aidan said.

scott pulls out a dominator 
"but that kills people... or injures them... this..."
"doesn't."
 
Aidan closed his eyes for a second, before opening them and speaking.  "Great. You have a viable prototype. Now make it smaller and something my Marines can't break. I'm not risking lives on assumptions and maybes." He pulled put a hand on his own service pistol. "I know this works. I know I can trust my life to this. Not saying this isn't good work, but that cake needs more time in the oven before it's done." 
"Yes sir... Make it something we can put in the service pistols... and have someone test it Scott..." She said to him.
 
Scott: considering i can start reasonable project but prefer to have them officially okayed before moving to mass production or expanded research
 
"Then to me, that's a rough draft. Really large. I can just use a shotgun with bean bag or taser rounds." Aidan said. "What makes this so much more effective?" he asked.(edited)
 
Scott: truthfully it is a draft but the potential makes it worth it
 
"Not disagreeing." Aidan said. "I needs something more polished before I will approve production."
 
Scott: "i'll try to get a better model within a few days
 
"Fair enough. I'd also like to see it stop someone and the medical report of how it did." Aidan added.
 
Scott: ill send a copy to remi
 
"Oh and I doubt it will be of any use, but debried Chandra Dee when you get a chance. I had what was left of her bomber confiscated and sent to the Providence. No time to look it over, just a thought. Looked foreign." Aidan added.(edited)
 
Scott: ill pull it into the onyx bunker for research
 
"Fine. Anything else I can help you with?" Aidan asked.
 
"nope" as scott packs up everything and shoots a vx order for the bomber to be moved to the onyx r&d bunker. after that he poofs to th bunker with a wave buhbye
