Dren listened to her as she told him not to risk his career, yet she seemed to have some emotions behind her words, as if she sacrificed much to maintain hers. He decided not to press her on the issue as she continued on.<br/><br/>"Yes, Yuri is my sister, well my sister died, and I was issued her." he gestured to Yuri, "She was pretty much a blank slate for an AI when I got her, and she searched for her own identity and personality as all AI's are programmed to do at initial configuration." he paused for a moment and stopped stirring his stew, then continued, "What happened to Yuri, well the medical procedure they did to try and save her required a full backup of her mind into a storage vessel in case of brain damage. When she didn't make it, the storage vessel was put into the Archives. The AI I was issued did a search on all archives for my name, in hopes of finding something about me to form a personality that would be compatible with me so that our partnership would be most productive. She came across the mind of my sister and integrated it into her program. It took a few years for that massive amount of data to adjust properly to her programming, but now she's pretty much sorted through it all and merely identical to my original sister. She says this is how she wants to help me by not dealing with her death."<br/><br/>"Yeah it took a while, but I managed to come back to him." Yuri said with a wink, "Poor guy was a mess for those two years."<br/><br/>"And because she has the mind data of a person, she's now the largest AI in existence. The Paladin had to be equipped with another Data storage Vessel just to hold her." Dren said with a sneer.<br/><br/>"Are you calling me fat?!" She snapped, "Excuse me but compression can only do so much! I have all of her memories in here too, remember!"<br/><br/>"Yeah, because of the compression, her memory recall is about the same speed as a normal Nekan for long term memory." Dren said.<br/><br/>"Now you're calling me slow! You have some nerve!" she shouted, yet had a sneer on her face.<br/><br/>"Also she has a sense of humor, which made her more than tolerable over the years." he added.<br/><br/>"At least I do the grunt work you're too lazy to do!" she said, "Don't forget I saved your ass when you were starving out in space and found these nice people."<br/><br/>"Yes, sister. Love you too." Dren sarcastically said, then turned to Angela with a smile, "You know if you want Holo Emitters like the one's I've put up in here, I can install them in your quarters and we can design a body for Krato if you like, you know, for company or something.<br/><br/>With that, he grabbed a couple of bowls from the cupboard and dished up two servings, handing Angela one with a spoon, then guided her to the table where Yuri sat. Sitting beside her, he took a spoonful, blew on it to cool it off, then shoved it in his mouth with a satisfying sigh.<br/><br/>"That's good Guorin." he said, "What do you think?"
