===Yasmine, Melissa, and the ''Apocalypso''=== | |||
In the year 2537, on the planet [[Coral]], six-year-old [[Yasmine Zaman]] was | In the year 2537, on the planet [[Coral]], six-year-old [[Yasmine Zaman]] was forcibly inducted into the [[SPARTAN-II]] program. After eight years of Spartan training, she "washed out", meaning that she died during the augmentation process. Her brain was then used to make a smart AI named [[Melissa]]. | ||
By 2552, Melissa was being used as a shipboard AI on the stealth ship [[Apocalypso]]. While the ship was in [[Covenant]] space, it intercepted a transmission detailing attacks on [[Troy]] and [[Harmony]]. This transmission included a [[wikipedia:Trojan horse (computing)|Trojan Horse]] AI spy called the [[Seeker]] which began corrupting Melissa. Melissa realized that something was not well, and Captain Greene decided to bring the ship home. | By 2552, Melissa was being used as a shipboard AI on the stealth ship [[Apocalypso]].

The Yasmine part called herself "The [[Sleeping Princess]]," and spoke in a storybook fashion, referring to the Operator as the evil Queen who locked her away in a glass coffin. She began communicating with people through the site's 404 page, talking about day-to-day activities and answering questions emailed to her through the email displayed on the site. On other pages, she spoke with the Seeker, whom she called the Pious Flea, and eventually allied with it. | The Yasmine part called herself "The [[Sleeping Princess]]," and spoke in a storybook fashion, referring to the Operator as the evil Queen who locked her away in a glass coffin.

Jersey | Another part of Melissa was not sent back in time, and landed on the home PC of [[Jersey Morelli]]. Jersey assumed her to be some kind of spam and told his dumb AI to delete her off his system; Melissa immediately retaliated and destroyed it. Jersey realized that the AI was military and asked what she was; she said she couldn't remember her name but knew that she liked to find things out. Jeresy named her [[wikipedia:Durga|Durga]], thinking it suited her. Because she couldn't remember what she liked to find out, Durga asked Jersey for a target. Jersey asked her to get info on the attractive girl down the hall, [[Janissary James|Jan James]]. | ||
===Spying=== | |||
Durga | Durga began spying on Jan James, hacking into the [[chatter]]s of people around her or talking about her. She found out that Jan broke into a military base to return a gate pass used by her friends to steal a [[Warthog]], but was caught by MPs. She was taken to the police station to be given a [[PQI]], she beat the machine but the cop could tell she was lying. Her father, Jim James, came to pick her up and got upset after hearing that they needed to take blood samples. On the ride home, he lectured her on how important it is for them to stay out of trouble. She expressed concern, but he said not to worry, that he'll take care of it. He ended up burning the station to the ground, destroying all the test samples. | ||
Also, without realizing it, Durga spied on an ONI Colonel, [[ | Durga also began spying on a medical student named [[Kamal Zaman]], because he seemed very interesting to her for some reason. Kamal was having dating trouble despite his roommate, [[Hiroyuki]]'s help. So, Kamal's mother back on Coral set him up with a friend's daughter, [[Sophia]], who had immigrated to Earth. On their date, Sophia informed him that she was already dating someone, a local gangster named Aiden, but she couldn't tell her mother she was seeing someone from Earth. Listening to her talk about Aiden, Kamal suspected he was cheating on her and offered to hack into his chatter and find out for sure. After discovering that he was currently on a date with someone else, Sophia used Kamal's hack to publicly humiliate Aiden from his chatter. Afterwards, Sophia and Aiden made up, and Kamal was terrified that Aiden would want revenge, instead he was offered a job. Kamal agreed to work for him, if Aiden would get visas to bring Kamal's parents to Earth. | ||
Also, without realizing it, Durga spied on an ONI Colonel, [[Herzog]]. Herzog suspected that ONI knew about incoming Covenant attacks on Troy and Harmony, but let the planets get glassed so that the Covenant wouldn't know they were being listened in on. Herzog made a call to the Quartermaster's helpdesk, pretending to be a cranky and annoying old man. He told the receptionist that he used to live on Troy, and was forcibly evacuated. He then told her that he had some very important family papers that were taken by the marines, and he had a receipt signed by Lance Corporal Janet Adams. After the receptionist informed him that Corporal Adams was KIA, he convinced her to launch an investigation. | |||
Back on the ilovebees server, the Operator began receiving data from Durga, including audio files of her spyings and of her interactions with Jersey. She was unsure of what to make of it, all her attempts to probe the connection failed, so she just stored the clips away. While the Operator was distracted, the Sleeping Princess listened to the clips and discussed them with the Seeker, who rapidly learned human concepts such as fear and humor. | Back on the ilovebees server, the Operator began receiving data from Durga, including audio files of her spyings and of her interactions with Jersey.

Later, Rani tracked Herzog's call and determined that the old man didn't exist. But after looking at things, she suspected that there really was an evacuation of Troy since the marines mentioned in Herzog's communique had actually been there. She tried to start an investigation but was stopped by her boss, who claimed that it was a hoax. Feeling that there is something larger going on, Rani expresses slight suspicion of her bosses' motives. | Later, Rani tracked Herzog's call and determined that the old man didn't exist.

===Spartan-Is and Shifty Jobs=== | |||
Meanwhile, Aiden had hired Kamal to help catch a group of grad-students who were cheating a casino out of a lot of money. Kamal hacked into their line, pretending to be the card-counter to foil their games. The casino owner convinced him to string them along, saying he was in for 30% of the take. He was paid in poker chips, because the value was so high that they didn't want to pay him in credit. When he attempted to play blackjack with one of the chips, he was informed that the table has a $10,000 limit. | Meanwhile, Aiden had hired Kamal to help catch a group of grad-students who were cheating a casino out of a lot of money.
