The Recode project. [Inanimate Insanity AU]

Entry - 110

I am working on a section of the meeple website dedicated to my older projects and so that members of the public can view small profiles of each of my projects over the years. This includes small amounts of information on each mephone, however despite my motives i can assure you that no personal information will be shared publicly. If i were to include a location feature i am sure each mephone would go missing, after all the community values them very highly and i can not allow them to be taken. I am hoping to include the names, version, model type, and the project they have been included in. An example of this would be 3G being included in the category of my recode project.

However Tessa does not agree with this feature. I believe is because she is conscious that one of our more private projects may get leaked in the process. This could happen however i plan to have constant monitoring and moderation of this section of the website. Speaking of Tessa, mephone x returned late at night or rather i say very early in the morning with his missing claw repaired. Although she claims to have repaired him before her shift ended i do not quite believe her yet, as one of my higher mechanics such as herself Would not have done such a terrible job at shabbily soldering the claw back to the base of mephone x wrist. As she is my lead and highest valued mechanic i am thoroughly disappointed in this result. However i am willing to accept that she may have just been tired.

Testube had just finished charging up the CD player she had been gifted last night. She was on her own today, except for 2GS-P. He clearly wasn't happy, he didn't eat much, the accident a week prior had completely wrecked him. He was week to begin with due to his age meeple products like himself that were built when cobs was still an amateur were clearly not made to hold up for as long as he had. She had calculated that he'd be roughly 15 years old. Still she wanted to give him a second chance she wanted to give them all a second chance.

She slowly looked over the two disks she had collected thus far. #001 and #003. Was she missing one? There was no way to tell, its not like she could just google it. She lifted the lid of the CD player X had gifted her the night before. It was pink and glittery with a few stickers however most of them looked as though they had been scraped off or damaged in someway. She hoped it worked. She booted it up, it responded with a whir and then the screen turned blue. [AWAITING IMPUT].
She could tell it had been modified some way by someone at meeple. The logo burnt into the corner followed by a label, a code. She copied it down quickly to a post it note and stuck it to the wall next to the photos she and fan had taken of the disks. She picked up the first disk the one X had given her, #001. The first disk. She fed the disk into the machine. It quickly shot to life. The screen went black than she was met with a scene. Stood in the middle of the small lab room was a young woman. She adorned a labcoat branded with the meeple symbol on her left shoulder. She was a moonlight dressed as though she was best scientist in the whole world.

She un-paused the video allowing it to continue, allowing the young woman to continue through the video. She began to check over the camera not appearing to realise that the camera was already recording, a date sat firmly at the top of the screen. 18/10/2010 , only four months after mephone 3GS was revealed to the public.

"Is this on?, good well today i am running a test on one of our newer mascots recent to the meeple facility." She seemed nervous, like she was doing something bad. Something she wasn't ment to do. She began to run through a few vague details about mephone 3GS. "My name is Tessa parks" she paused  "i do not intend to make these public however i also wish not to allow Steve cobs, my acquaintance and employer to view these videos." They were for her own personal use, maybe it was something to do with company protocol. She spun the camera towards 3GS who was sat on what looks like a surgical table. He waved at the camera this seemed like instinct.

Tessa began to explain how she was only testing out small features, such as certain settings, joint movements and a fail safe. She only mentioned it briefly but it immediately peaked Testube's interest. This fail safe, it could be linked to some of the odd occurrences that have been popping up around her and the others that had came to the facility the night they'd left for the meeple cloud.

The door opened to testubes lab, it was only suitcase going to visit her new friend, the two had grown close and it was nice to see. However she couldn't let this distract her she was so close to discovering something new about this mysterious company, and the small community on the inside. Tessa began to run through arm and leg movements with 3GS, running simple scans and recording the data and small damages. Eventually towards the end of the tape she began to act suspiciously again. Glancing outside the window of her office, profusely checking her emails as she worked. She sighed and read the notice cobs had sent her. He was clocking out early because he had felt ill, she would cover his shift.

Her demeanour changed quickly, shedding her quiet persona to a more confident and less sympathetic face. It startled testube how someone could just change so quickly. She spoke in a quick serious tone. "I have to install my fail safe today, cobs has clocked out due to a illness that i will reveal later in this recording." Her voice sent shivers down Testube's spine, what had she done? Tessa showed the camera a small USB, before she said anything she jammed it into the side of 3GS head, apologising quickly and quietly as he winced in pain. She loaded her laptop up, typing something quickly before she grabbed the camera and took it over to her laptop. "I have to install a fail safe in this model, this means that if his system fails or crashes, all his memory's from the previous 32 hours and anything he saves under the feature of importance will be sent to me automatically. From there i can find the cause of death, and can save the important memories just incase i have to preform a complete reboot." Testube was amazed, she wished she could talk to this scientist herself she knew many of the others would too.

"I will end the recording now as this takes approximately three hours set in. I let you know if it is a success this time, in the next tape." She than ended the recording the screen turning to black as the CD player died, it cut Tessa off before she could dissmis her. She felt shocked, it was so fascinating but scary at the same time. Tessa was slightly rough with 3GS, she couldn't imagine how much worse it was with cobs.

Suddenly her phone began to wring.
