 Anansi was bored. Very bored, laying back on the bed she was allowed for recovery as she awkwardly, and experimentally, flexed the fingers of her mechanical arm. One flex. Two flex. Three flex... Ok, she was -really- bored. |

This was good, as she would be most assuredly unbored in the next few minutes.  The door to her room flew open and Inari strolled in. Though, except for the identifying color of his robe, you wouldn't be able to tell because he was wearing it in his usual concealing fashion. His robotic red eyes glowed from beneath his hood as he looked her over. "You'll get used to it," he said, meaning her arm, "along with everything else...or you'll have a violent rejection and die." He shrugged. "However, since your upgrades seem to have assimilated well, its time we got started." |

The spider glanced up with a small frown as she recognized the wolf. Hood or no hood, she knew that PMS attitude anywhere. "Got started? On what?" She murmured, crossing her arms. Which was more crossing one, while her mechanical arm bent slightly. |

"Your training," Inari said in a tone that indicated she should have been able to figure that out on her own. "So get out of bed and follow me." He then turned and headed back out through the door. |

Training? Oh, right, he'd talked about that when she first woke up after her... surgery. Getting up, she picked up her cloak, pulling it on, and again looking over the neon green accents. After a moment, she pulled the hood down, and followed the wolf. |

He led her down a few hallways to the base's main computer room. A small alcove with several large connection jacks had been set up near one of the large consoles. "Until something more permanent can be set up, you will use this station here for your...activities." He moved over to the console next to the alcove and input a few commands. "Lets get started. Plug in." |

"Plug in? How'm I supposed to-"She began, before she moved one of her secondary limbs, and saw a glint of metal. Right. More machine that spider these days. Taking a closer look, she realized that leg, along with her others, were various types of computer connectors. And this leg had a connector to the jacks on that alcove. So, she sat down, and maneuvered that leg to plug into an accessible jack... Followed by her immediately slumping over, her "iris" of her cybernetic eye changing to resemble a heartrate monitor. That seemed slightly elevated, but quickly steadied out. |

Inari pulled the sleeve of his robe up past the elbow of his cybernetic arm. Pannels in the top and bottom of his hand popped open, extending several small jacks of his own that plugged into the panel before him. Unlike Anasi though, Inari didn't just slump over, but instead stood almost still except his head and mouth. Inside the computer, the form of a completely black furred fox with nine, blue fire tipped, tails took shape. However this was just an 'external' image for his network avatar. The HUD in his vision indicated Anansi's own avatar nearby. "Well, aparently your nervous system didn't overload, so I guess we'll have to con-GAHH!" he'd been talking as he turned to look at her, and had broken off when he finally saw her. |

 "What's your problem, fuzzball?" The spider girl mumbled, resting her hands on her bare hips. Wait. What? The girl, after a moment, turned her glowing eyes downward... and YELPED, covering herself with her hands, and her now longer, more functional looking secondary limbs. She was, once she took a second to really look, curvier than normal, but only slightly, and had no sign of cybernetics. Her eyes, all five of them, glowed with a goldenrod light as she glared at Inari. Because she was completely nude. And it had to be HIS fault. "You PERV! You did this somehow, didn't you!?" |

"Please, if you want to blame anyone you should blame the Doctor," Inari retorted. "Or more accurately yourself. Your avatar's appearance is contructed according to how YOU want it. Its not my fault you're apparently a closet nudist." |

"You think I WANNA be naked!? Anansi yelled, her hands clenching into fists. "Frankly, I'd rather be wearing that robe I ha- VrrtSuddenly, Anansi, while otherwise unchanged, WAS in her Legionnaire robe, hood pulled back... and the spider girl was looking down at herself. "Well. Ok then." |

Inari made a scoffing noise. "See? Now as you can see...your digital avatar is controled using imput from your brain. Aside from just moving around, you can bring up multiple tools and other functions by thinking about it." There was a pause as he caused several internet browser-like windows to appear in front of him, from which he called up a small menu screen. Of course he didn't mention that his own interface was slower because he had to control things using a windows like interface in the HUD built into his real eyes. |

Anansi hiked an eyebrow, and held out her hands, menus appearing at her fingertips almost instantly, one a window, and the other a keyboard. "Oooh... looks like I'm picking this up faster than you, fuzzy." |

"Then I guess we can skip the guided tutorial and move on to the practical then," Inari said sharply. Closing his window, he extended his arm, creating a swarm of pixels which formed a large, flat disc in front of them. Then the surface of the disk appeared to collapse into a long tunnel. "Lets go." He floted up and passed through the entrance, suddenly taking off through the tunnel like he'd been shot from a cannon. |

Raising an eyebrow, the spider nodded and flew through the portal after the 'fox'. |

The tunnel exited into a huge data hub. Emails, music files, images, and even just streams of code flew through here, entering and exiting through a multitude of other 'tunnels' like a giant vertical freeway intersection. Inari dove into this, swerving and weaving through everything in a pattern that would have been hard to follow without the small fire trails his avatar's tails left behind him. Finally they entered another tunnel and left the majority of the ordered chaos behind them. |

Anansi took a passing glance at the info around her as she followed Inari, but none of it was anything she couldn't find later... so she continued following the other hacker. |

When they finally stopped, it was before a large firey energy field that almost completely filled the tunnel before them. "Part one," Inari began, "Get us past this firewall, preferably without being detected." |

[dice=2] (one she succeeds, two she fails) The spider smirked, and cracked her knuckles. "No problem. And... it wasn't. It took her a moment to figure out the interface, but after a few moments, she was in. "Heh. Like I've said, I'm the hacker queen."[rand=154759383091189865863659829070411005501135686072578441250149501097] |

"Congradulations my lady," he responded sarcastically, "You just proved you're competant enough to break into a two-bit artist's PC. Let's move on." Inari's avatar took off through the deactivated firewall, entering into the space of the computer itself. "We're looking for information about this computer's owner. Sift through everything, and copy anything that might seem important to her background," he told Anansi before he split off, heading for a distant file cluster. |

Anansi grumbled as Inari took off, sending an unmistakable hand signal after him, before she got to work. First, she looked though information about the owner themselves, the registry information on the computer. "Raki Rec. Ok..." She murmured, coping that information aside, then opened another window, this one looking for... jeeze, did this girl keep anything? The recycle bin was even empty. "You find anything useful, fuzzball?" |

"Only the inane babblings of the insane..." Inari muttered as he went through email files. What did the Doctor WANT with this girl anyway? There was nothing of possible remote interest here... If she WAS a government agent of some kind, she obviously didn't keep any sort of records of it here. |

"So what's so important about this girl anyway?" The spider asked, looking through more interesting files. "Hellooo... Hey, fuzzy, check out what I found..." She murmured. Anansi found personal photos. Some of which had family. |

Inari floated over to look over her shoulder. "...What in the name of Chaos?" Some of the photo selections were just plain...weird. "Why does she have pictures of cats eating corn...?" |

"... is that a CG Marmaduke... upchucking a giant spider? I AM a spider and that freaks me out." She glances at Inari, eyes... slightly wider than normal. "We're leaving now, yes?" |

"Yes," Inari said, in agreement for once. In fact he was already creating the exit gate for them. |

"Is there a REASON we came here?" Anansi mumbled, glancing back at the files, then to the forming gate. Open faster. |

"Mostly just a test run to see if you were competant enough to use the interface, but this was a mission as well. The Doctor wanted this person investigated...WHY I have no idea..." I just hope he's not looking to recruit her he added mentally, his physical body giving a shudder. |

"Lets hope not," he said as they returned to the Legion's computers. "This one's 'freaky' enough to interest him...on a personal level." |
