Michael hastily types a GTG on the keyboard, gets off the game, and starts walking towards the psych assess area. he slips on the poster of caffiene evils, gets back up, and keeps walking
"who put that there?"
you did

When Micheal walks into office he notices someone already in there. Makai speaks up as he backs out of the room. "Please follow me to the next room." Makai then takes splits some of the nano-machines from each of the already made furnishings and makes a black blob that moves into the next room. The blob then splits into the same furniture that it made previously with one difference. The small black cube lacks the "eye" and in its place is a simple 3-eyed happy face. When it speaks the voice seems to emanate from the entire box rather than a single point. "Sorry, but the only thing I can not replicate is my Core but this face should suffice. So Welcome Micheal and MIKE. Please take a seat. So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself or selves."       

"Ummm, I..."
Tell it that I know it hasn't read our files                     ((OOC:What gender are you?))
"MIKE says that he knows you haven't read our files"
MIKE speaks using the speakerphone in the suit's helmet
"Hello, Makai, another of the forgetful races I'm doomed to help."
MIKE! Behave! That's an order! Humor setting to 15%
Fine. "Michael is a NearReallean Spaceforce Lieutenant flying an Armed Shuttle Response Unit (ASRU). I am his Hypergiant level AI and am bound by a superspecific set of rules that i cannot disobey. Michael originally tried for a space fighter but was rejected in favor of a bug-guy-thing."

"Well Mike, I can actually retain almost 100% of all information given to me, its a matter of procedure, and Micheal I was referring to you as a person, what are you likes and dislikes, any notable memories, just something that makes you more than just a tool to be used."

((I don't want to be rude, but have you been listening to me, Insanegame? We noted some of the other issues with the character before. Namely, judging from how they were found, it's implied that Shamus' race aren't spacefaring, though we could use some confirmation from heydude6 on that. Until we get confirmation, it might be best to leave that part of the backstory unmentioned.))

"I wont kill, injure, hurt or otherwise maim him. But you can't ask someone to change their personal opinion. I'll work with him, but I'll prefer not to."

((OOC: OK fine then, but let's get confirmation first, and hey, heydude may not have been the only one bug-napped.))

OOC:Well I'm pretty sure that my race naturally isn't space-faring but it is possible to come up with a backstory for how that specific hive became spacefaring though. For example maybe a scientist stole a queen egg and left in on an asteroid. Since my race reproduces asexually in a sexual manner it could be possible that queen egg started a hive on that asteroid or another explanation could be simply that my hive is the equivalent of indians and insanegame's is the equivalent of europeans. Same species but one is more advanced than the other.

OOC: the shrink is currently offline at the moment so we'll have to wait a bit.

OOC: Can someone point out what is the issue? Me and Insamegame are not the same species this time, the only similarity is that we both have 4 arms which is a trait typical of most humanoid insects and the fact that we at some point both have wings, although the wings of his species are shed during puberty while mine stay on forever, they are just useless due to harsh gravity at the moment. Also his race is more technologically advanced than mine. Plus his race actually has a name, mine doesn't.

((The issue being that he hates your race for space-piloting stuff despite them not being space-faring. But you explained that it could be a specific individual who was also abducted as you were))
