Data sticky note

EC isn't calling her a disappointment
He's projecting his own problems onto Data

He can't project anything

He's dead

Lmao

Astra: uhh... you've got another note

Data: *sigh* I've had so many of these today.
*She pulls it off and reads it*

Data, with red LEDs: WHICH ONE OF YOU MOTHERF*CKERS WROTE THIS

*sap notices that Liam's power core is slowing down*
Sap: Q-Quick!!!

*she comes back with a power cell the size of a jug of milk*

Collector: *already removing his core*

*making a forcefield around the core*

Sap: You should be much more cautious with that. That thing is super radioactive

Collector: that's pretty much irrelevant. I've been exposed to radiation so much that I'm practically immune to it, and everyone else in here is some kind of artificial being.

*Slowly removing the core*

*the energy inside it is moving slowly*

*it fully comes out and data begins connecting the power cell*

*meanwhile the incandescent arm has mostly dropped off, there only remains some melted wires and his inner skeleton*

*data finishes plugging in the power cell and collector walks away with his power core to either stabilize it or dispose of it*

*seems like some rebooting sounds*

*windows startup sound https://youtu.be/ARytcTuxqjo?si=neoMC19SdUrcH1A9*

(LOL)
*liam slowly opens his eyes*

Data: how do you feel, molten... Uhh... Crap, I can't think of an offensive word that applies here

Terra: *sigh* could you have at least waited until AFTER he was fully awake?

Liam: I-I heard that

Data: seriously though, do you feel alright?

Liam: do I look alright?

I'll make a temporary core
*He walks to a table and with one hand makes a new core in 10 seconds*

Liam: This one uses solar energy, much more stable and pure

Data: :/

Liam: What? Want to force me to use this primitive power cell?

Data: if you were able to make a new core in about 10 seconds why didn't you just do that instead of almost dying

Liam: The sensation of pain was overriding my systems. And my core was too unstable

Data: ... Ok

*liam walks behind Sap*
Liam: *whispers* Protect me

Data: I heard that. These ears aren't decorative, Liam.

Sap: wait wa?

Does this have to do with the sticky notes and the marker in Liam's office?

Liam: *1000 yard stare*

Data: ... Liam, why would you need protection? Are you scared of an inferior android? >:3

*She starts walking towards him*

Liam: *pushes Sap away*

*Arm morphs into a mega blaster that Terra recognises because of the rainbowish energy*

Sap: WOAH WOAH LIAM IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS

Data: dude I wasn't even gonna fight you this ti-

Terra: LIAM IF YOU USE THAT THING ON HER I'M LEAVING YOUR COMPANY

*his arm trembles, then he points it to data*

SAP: LIAM!!!!!

*he then points it to the wall and fires*

*A giant beam of rainbowish energy bursts out and destroys the wall*

*The energy blast ends and Liam falls to the ground*

SAP: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!!? *slaps multiple times Liam*

*data wasn't hit but part of her sleeve was burnt*

*Terra walks over to Liam and assists in the slapping*

Liam: *secretly in pain*

*Both liam and Terra notice his arm is completely incandescent and dripping metal*

Data: *life flashed before her eyes*

Terra: ... This is why you shouldn't mess with supernovas, even you can't control them >:(

*heavily breathing*

Sap: *tries to get him back up*

Liam: GET AWAY!

*he pushes him away*
*He gets up*

*He falls back on his knees*

*It's clear, he is in pain and his grinding his teeth because of it*
*A substance is dripping from his mouth*

Terra: DATA!

Data: *snaps back to reality* w- what??

Terra: I know you hate him but this looks serious

Data: *looks*

*the tip of his fingers drip off, revealing his internal skeleton*

*Seems like the heat is around his chest too*

Sap: B-Brother!!

Liam: *eyes turn off for a second* I-Im alright

Data: it looks like your core is overheating. I think that laser pushed it over the edge

Liam: I KNOW WHAT I DID!

And I did much more than overheat it.

I put it into overdrive...
*He tries to stand up*

*data stops him*

Data: in your current state I don't think you should stand up. Your arm is still dripping and your core is pretty much on the edge of exploding

*he gets real close to data's face*

Liam: Don't tell me what to do. If I have to explode then I'll will.
I didn't aim away from you because I had pity, but only because I didn't want to lose my best worker. *He says angrily*

Data: Liam, if you explode you'll lose your best worker AND your brother. Just stay here and let me get you a more stable temporary power source.

*his eyes flash bright white and he falls down*
*Sap catches him*

Sap: D-Damn he's heavy. I-I think he went into standby mode...
This means he could really ne dying!!!

Data: astra, go get collector and tell him about Liam's power core. He'll know what to do. I'll go get one of my spare power cells

*Before anyone can say anything she runs to her room and astra goes to find collector*

Liam: ...
Don't look at me

Astra: Liam, just tell the truth if you wrote it. She'll only get more mad if you don't.

Data: DAMN RIGHT I'M MAD.

Liam: I DIDN'T!

Data: LIAR

Astra: HOW CAN YOU BE SURE

Data: HE'S ALWAYS BEEN A DICK TO ME WHY WOULDN'T IT BE HIM

Terra, who just walked in: what are you yelling about!?

Liam: Ah fantastic

I DIDN'T

Astra: (to Terra) she thinks Liam put a sticky note about EC on her screen.

Terra: ... Fair enough, just calm down a bit.

Data: ... Fine >:(

Liam: I have too much money to do such a low budget prank

Data: then WHO DID IT

Terra: DATA. I told you to calm down

Data: *angry*

Liam: god...

Sap: *walks in* oh hey guys

Data: at least I can be sure you didn't do it. You aren't mean enough to do this kind of prank

*Her LEDs were still red, but shifted a little back to green after Sap walked in*

Sap: He just says that because he doesn't really have fighting skills installed inside of him.
He's more of a engineer than a fighter.

Data: I kinda guessed that already
*Displays this on her screen*

Sap: Huh that's weird. Usually his body doesn't have a skin like texture...

Did he install some new nanotech?

Data: no idea. Probably just because of how evilish drew him

Sap: I did hear him talking about some new nanotech that could replicate any texture including hardness and composition.

Data: Astra's nanotech could already do that but it struggles with color. She has been learning color recently though

Sap: Anyways, what you're gonna do with that.
*Points to the metal skeletal arm*

Liam: And no, I'll never thank you

Data: BUT I JUST F*CKING SAVED YOUR LIFE

*Terra glares at Liam with her arms crossed*

*looks at Terra, then at Data*

Liam: Terra should know very well that my life was never in danger.

I'm not a 5th grade android for nothing.

Sap: *goes to data and whispers* He's talking about the whole neural network, basically his mind is disconnected from his body and if his body is destroyed he just uploads his mind to another body*

*data's lights instantly turn red again*

Terra: you could AT LEAST appreciate the effort, Liam. She thought you were on the verge of death, and she saved you from it.

Data: ... *Lights shift slightly back to green*

*Liam rolls his eyes*

*He grabs his burnt off arm and rips it pff violently, he suffers from this*

*He then throws it at Data's feet*

Liam: There, a way to say "thank you".
There's enough metal there to make a weapon if you want

*Looks at sap*

Liam: Pass me the suitcase
*Sap throws him a suitcase*

*Liam grabs it, places on a table and it opens up into a workspace, in a few seconds he has created a new arm*

*He places it in his shoulder and it syncs with him*

Data: hmm

*Picks up the hunk of metal*

Data: ... Not sure what I'll make with this, but I guess it's good to have

Liam: Be sure to use the energy of creation or whatever it's called.
Not even a supernova can melt that skeleton.

Sap: Urh...

Liam: Let's go home Sap

Sap: On the other hand I'll stay here with Data

Liam: Do as you like

*Liam walks away, stumbling a bit*

Terra: *sigh* his arrogance will be his demise.

Data: *nods*

Liam from far away: Also Collector! You can keep that core! It was a prototype after all...

Sap: I swear everything he makes he says it's a prototype.
I think his ego is just too big.

*collector didn't hear him but he was probably gonna keep it either way*

Data: at one point he said he was working on a body specifically for combat but he has yet to kick my ass so I kinda doubt it
