The computer wasn't hard to use, but he was not used to this kind of interface.
He found the methods to train his ability, and the info he just read, although he could only read a little of it, was the same as the android had taught him, but it had the theory on it so he could still get some few basic info from there, fundamental basic info.
As he kept searching soon found info about the organization, Alex told him in the letter that most info about the guild was deleted from the office, but still some remained.
He could not understand why to delete it if he was to leaving behind an advanced assistant and its body there, with a lot of uncommon technology.
Still, the info he got was beyond ordinary, nobody knew much about the organization, but the info he got...
Not only had the guild left the planet as the assistant told him, but some members even kept living in here, those who would leave later, and those who would not want to leave, still he could not get too much info on why was that.
Most info was in a strange language but Claire translated it for him, it was too convenient to have that android.
-Is it normal for an android to have that much freedom?-
-It is normal, still, there are things related to my development on the computer, I can summarize it for you, but is better you read it by yourself.-
Mike ordered Claire to show the info and quickly the computer's screen showed him where it was, most of it was notes, there were only 2 manuals, one was a common manual for artificial assistants, that was not the problem, the other was a custom-made manual as Claire explained it.
When he opens the last one, he saw notes, the personal notes from his grandfather about the android, it had summarized the topics on the manuals, stated some of Claire functioning system and how weird it was for it to behave differently from other assistants.
Claire clearly was not a normal thing, it still worked as any other assistant but had strange behavior anyway.
-So, it says here... that you are some kind of weird bot or a kind of rebel bot, choose one, how should I deal with you then? - Mike teased.
-...- But got no answer from the assistant.
It was already strange but he kept reading, and he found the first notes his grandfather wrote about it.
"March, Day one, year 90 of the DG's inquisitions events (2027 in Gaia's calendar).
That damn official, McGregor... he knocked on my door first thing in the morning, it was 4 in the morning! I would have scolded him if it weren't for the class 8 behind him. Even though I have NEVER met any class 8 until today, even so, I could barely meet a class 7 when got appointed as class 5, I thought there was no one above Class 6 on Gaia..."
-What is that about class 5, 6, 7 and 8? ranks?-
-Ranking groups, Master. The higher the rank the higher your class. The position your grandfather Sir Alex Blood, achieved, is a rank in the lowest of Class 5, Class 5 is not just a high class, it is the higher class found on planet Gaia, some class 6 were rare to see too. There are 10 factions in the guild, and each faction has several ranks, but still, all those are divided into the 10 ranks-
-I see - He listens patently and keeps reading
"The class 8, was no less than a faction leader, if this info were to get leaked, the guild would go... nobody knows how to describe the problems it would bring for a faction leader to abandon his or her position, but he was quick.
He sent the official away, gave me the Air 17 system, and just quickly instructed me what to do. I cannot go against a class 8 order and was about to do it anyway with doubts in my heart, but he noticed it and... surprise, gave me a class 9 order."
Most of the text was somehow corrupted, it was strange, so he asked the android, but it could not answer, since had no way to solve it nor knew why was it corrupted.
Below, he noticed another note, once again a personal message from his grandfather.
"Ask the assistant, it has something strange but is loyal to its master, I was recognized as the house master, but not entirely as the assistant's owner. But ask it and it might answer, if you are really its owner you can ask it anything"
-What the fuck?... what does it mean?-
-It means you can ask me anything, and I can answer- Answered the assistant, but it was really not in the office, it was upstairs, just it could of course speak through the speakers all over the house.
-That's what I am talking about, it sounds like a riddle, am I not your owner? You call me master after all-
-Master doesn't mean owner, but yes, you are my owner, master Blood-
-Then... - Mike still gave some thinking to it -You never obeyed all my grandfather's orders, did you?-
-I had no feeling like he owned control over me, I had in my system that even if I have different owners as the house assistant, I must follow one unconditionally-
-And that's me?-
-Yes-
-Why?-
-I was made that way, I have no clear answer. The ones who made me clearly had some kind of objective while doing so, but I don't know.-
-Does my grandfather know?-
-He tried to ask me, but I never answered him-
-Hah! So that's why he said you behave strangely, if it wasn't for the high-rank guy, he would think you were defective-
-Lunch is ready, master-
-Bring it to here, I will eat in the secret office-
Claire didn't answer but just did as was ordered. Mike got the food and took the chance to ask Claire about the notes of itself.
He could understand why the behavior it showed, the Air assistant system was stopped at version 15, and Claire was at version 17. The higher the system version the more freedom it has from previous versions. And it was instructed to follow Mike's orders.
As Mike kept asking some kind of block in Claire's memories broke, and it informed about new info it had unlocked strangely.
-The info I have right now is summarized like this: I was made for a specific purpose, and although I don't have the power a usual artificial soldier would have, I have more high combat capacities than an artificial assistant.-
-That's all the info?-
-Summarized, there is no more information. I am scanning for more blockings in my memory, and I found a few more, is strange since this is the first time I know I have a blocking feature on myself-
-Is that bad?-
-Judging from the signature of class 9 on the blocking, it looks like it is-
-Can you bypass it?-
-Not sure, and it might damage me, I would do it if you orders me to.-
-No need. - He was curious but would not lose his only assistant, who would cook for him every day?
Mike kept searching in the computer after finishing eating, he even found some more info about the guild, the ranking system of one of the factions, it was half made, and only one of the factions, the pace-makers.
-Weird name- He said while reading it; it was the faction his grandfather belongs to, so he got curious.
Still, it was too many ranks, just too many, how could they remember so many rankings? It was ordered in class system too, but only reached up to class 5.
-Just how much authority would those have-
-You can find the answer on the computer, master, but I can explain it-
-Do you like to explain things to me that much?-
-Will take those words as affirmation, the guild members have a saying: when receiving orders from class 5 you must do first and ask meanwhile if have doubts, when receiving orders from class 6 you must act immediately and ask later-
-Is some saying about class 7?-
-When receiving orders from class 7, you must do first as ordered to do and when finish, maybe just maybe the class 7 will be in the mood to answer or not-
-That much authority? -
-When breaking the rules of those sayings, it is considered treason and must be arrested or executed-
-Now it has sense, then class 8 is absolute?-
-The saying for classes 8 and 9 are the same: when receiving an order from a class 8 or 9, do and never ask if you don't want to die... Also, there is no saying for class 10, it is almost forbidden in the guild to talk about them-
-I was curious, but if people cannot talk about them, I guess there's no saying then.-
Just today's training was tiring, but also the info got him mentally tired, after all he just kept reading. The computer has some other useful info.
It said the methods most people use in current times in Gaia are hopeless to not bring further evolutions and had clear limits, he even found the training methods and info about the machines necessary to train different kinds of PhySEC abilities.
He had no use for now about those training methods, and did not have all the tools for those anyway, he asked the android but still only some of those tools were in the house.
-Just what would happen if someone were to break into the house?-
-It is not possible master unless someone can use high-destruction weapons and multiple explosives with high structural damage.-
-... what is this house made of?- That was his question, and the android doesn't have the mood to answer sarcasm sometimes.
