[ Y/N ]
"Wait with that please. Mark me the way to the... what was it called? Electromagentic Creation something? ...Ah right, it was the Electromagentic Creation Field! Please lead me there for now and while I walk, you will tell me what exactly you are about to do."
[ This unit needs another AI similar to itself for taking care of industrial systems and later the entirety of ASO-17309. As personal AI of Inheritor, this unit will most likely leave ASO-17309 one day behind and a replacement is needed. ]
"Yes, that does make sense. Can you tell me more about the AI creation process? I have the feeling that I also have to play a part in it. Most likely splinters of my memory again."
[ Inheritor is correct. A identification, as well as an attribute assignment is needed. A AI will model its character after the positive information it can find to its identification. Attribute assignment is the process of assigning the computing power available to an AI in the form of Processing Units to empower some of an AI`s base characteristics. AI`s will need time, as well as acess to a big data base and sufficient computing power to rapidly develope. A process that is recommended to get done as fast as possible, as the AI will only start to respond once this process is mostly completed. ]
"Okay, one step back. The attribute assignment I understand. But the name influences an AI`s character? Really?"
[ Only high-ranking AI´s use a real identification and evove a character. ]
"And you want to create such a high-ranking AI? Are you even one?"
[ Originally, the ASO-17309-CMAI wasn`t a high-ranking AI. This was only achieved by fusing with remnants of inheritors past personal AI. ]
"Wait, I had a personal AI before you? What happened to it?"
[ Original personal AI of inheritor was strongly damaged through cryopod usage for 980 years. The only way to save the AI`s remnants was through fusing with it. This unit is a fusion of the remnants of inheritors personal I and the ASO-17309-CMAI and was designated by inheritor as "Aso". Therefore characterisation was with everything available to the name "Aso". ]
"Wait... This is why you are as you are? Because all you had to orient yourself on was ASO-1309? Is it possible to change your name once more?"
[ Inheritor can at any time change identification or attrbute allocation of this unit. ]
[ Show status of "Aso"? ]
[ Y/N ]
"Yes, please do."

"So, Fen, thats your new name now. It should make you much more lively if you no longer take after that station, right?"
[ Processing... ]
[ Processing... ]
[ New identification data base research concluded. ]
[ You are correct. My new name allows me a more direct and human approach to speach. ]
"Ah, that`s nice. It finally feels like Im talking to a living being again instead of an AI."
[ Don`t misinterpret. At the core of my being, Im still very much a logical thinking AI. Im just able to finally design more lively upper layers on my character. ]
"Right. Anyway, can you tell me what User Empowerment is about?"
[ User Empowerment is nothing more than using the nannites in your body to strengthen some of your biological charcteristics. Now that you allocated some of my Processing Units to it, you should find it in your own status. ]
[ Do you want to see your own status? ]
"Yes, please show it to me."

"Done!" I declared proud, just a few minutes later. It wasn`t that hard to decide where to put my Units. To start of, I balanced myself out by bringing every attribute up to 20. Than I just put five Units into Command, seeing as it was the only "mental" attribute I had, that Fen lacked. Well, additionally to the fact that I will have to command fleets in the future. The rest of my Units I put into Processing Speed, because even if I was still much slower than Fen in that aspect, it was still something I would need if I had to do split second decision where I wouldn`t have the time to ask Fen first. I do value my ability to work independent from Fen if needed very much, thank you.
[ We reached the the terminal for the Electromagnetic Creation Field. I allowed myself to already jumpstart it for you. ]
And just like that, Fen brought me back to reality. I still had a job to do! "Please tell me this terminal is sorted." I muttered to myself darkly. I knew that the chance for that was... low.
[ Do you want me to do it for you? ]
"Wait, what? Don`t tell me you could have done it the entire time for me!"
[ Did you really think sorting through and organising a terminal would be hard for me? Please. You just never asked before, but my new personality allows me to interject and take action by myself if you are about to do something wasteful or dumb. Allthough I still have to follow the outpost protocols, as well as the Inheritor-Protocols and the dozens of other protocols in place that I still didn`t manage to decrypt. Not that I managed to decrypt the Inheritor-Protocols, they are the worst of the bunch by far. I suspect that I only see what they wnat me to see and nothing more. ]
"You know what? Yes, please just do it for me. It will make my work much easier if I just have to click a fe buttons and can than be done with it."
[ Processing... ]
[ Done. The terminal is now organised the same way as all the other ones that you had used. ]
"Okay. That was fast. Wait... Fen, can you do me a favor? How long would it take you to go all through the entire ship and apply this type of organisation?"
[ Just a few minutes if I use my full capacity. I`ll do it for you while you wrk on the Electromagnetic Creation Field. You don`t have to do much. I already activated the automatic repair function for you. Just jumpstart the Electromagnetic Creation Field with the help of the sub-AI and than go on maximum power. We have the energy for it. Once Im back we deal with the AI we want to create and than the Nannite Production Plant. Sounds like a plan? ]
"Yeah, sure, we can do it that way. Tell me once you`re back."
[ I will most likely be back before you are done with your job. Phoenix out! ]
"He really became much more lively at once. Well, whatever. I`ll take it. Lets see, what do I have to do here..." It really wasn`t hard. The sub-AI jumpstarted the Electromganetic Creation Field without any problems and than I just pressed the button to stengthen the Electromagnetic Creation Field until it was at its maximum output, exactly as Fen had said.
[ And you`re done! Don`t worry, for now I have control over the Electromagnetic Creation Field but it takes up a good amount of my attention. Let`s get this second AI started as soon as possible, yes? ]
"Sure, Fen. Start the process."

Processing Speed and Proficiency gain were what I needed from this new Ai the most. It`s job wouldn`t need much Innovation and as long as Fen was there, Stability was of no concern as well. Adaptability could be helpful though. Only time would tell.
[ Please confirm your configuration to start the creation process of the new AI. ]
"Yeah, sure, go ahead, Fen."
[ AI creation process is now underway. I would recommend we repair the Nannite Production Plant until she`s done with the outpost`s data memory. Once she is, she can instantly start trough with repairs. I don`t think I need to highlight the way towards the Nannite Production Plant. It`s just ten metres to your left. ]
"Ah. Thanks, I guess." I said and went to the already activated terminal to my left. "Anything you can tell me on how to repair this thing?"
[ No, just a (DATA LOST) for me there. Don`t forget that Im still missing two thirds of my memory data. ]
"Wait... so we don`t have any idea on how to repair this thing? Why do I get vibes from the antimatter reactor right now?"
[ Because it`s pretty much the same situation? Well, at least this time there is no risk of death and you don`t have a time limit. I would suggest you start reading through the terminal. There, unfortunately, is no way described to repair the Nannite Production Plant, but it should still be helpful for you, as you`ll have to go to the plant itself to fix the problem, I guess. At least it shoudn`t be tooooo complex, I think? ]
"You just said that you have no idea at all." I deadpanned.
[ Yeah, you`re right. I should just shut up. I will try to help you, but I don`t think I will be of much help this time. Sorry. ]
"Ah, it`s okay. Did I tell you that I like your new personality? The old you would have NEVER apologised.
[ Well, what can I say? Your fault for thinkink less than a second about what to name me! ]
"Ah, yes, that`s your point. I truly was a little messed up after my awakening. Luckily it`s much better now. Whatever. Lets got to work and get this Plant online again! That shall be our priority for now!"
