LOCATION: FOREST DISTRICT, FIELDS OF GLASS, ENDLESS LINES
Exiting standby mode, X7 noticed the empty bed. It quickly noticed Cay, over in the kitchen, making herself some breakfast. Heh, it thought. Kitchens in Proxima living spaces were only ever needed with organics present. Such a strange concept to shards.
It walked over to her and wrapped its arms around her gently, recalibrating its locomotion gyroscopes for the day. She was still nude - not that she didn't care, but clothing was generally seen as unnecessary in Proxima's culture. She liked to respect that.
"Hey, what're you making?" the android asked, curiously. "Pfft, not like you'd care. Pancakes."
"Heh. Don't forget your tastes are gonna totally change once you get your new body. You'll be more interested in eating that pan than whatever you're making in it."
She laughed. "Doesn't bother me. And, hey, it's not gonna stop me having my favourites."
"So you're still sure, I take it? Haven't changed your mind yet?"
"Not at all! Trust me - I prefer the upsides. And besides. I'd look cute. Like you."
X7 blushed slightly, cyan coolant rushing into its facial thermal-convection matrix.
"Y-yeah. You would."
Cay smiled, as Vertex let her continue to cook.
"Hey, by the way, you got anything for me?", the android queried.
"Oh! Right! I grabbed you what I could for work. It's mostly last-gen hardware, but it should be more interesting than the material cubes you Shards usually get. I left the box on the table."
Sitting down at the table, X7 opened up the box - inside, various assorted computer components, as well as a couple of laptops. Not brand new, but they could've probably still fetched a fair price. "Cay-thank you! This is great!!!"
"No worries. I think I'm like, in the best place to get this sorta stuff now. Anyways, enjoy." She walked over from the kitchen; sitting down opposite Vertex and placing her plate of hot pancakes in front of her.
The lombax began to dig into the stack of pancakes, as Vertex sifted through the box of hardware, picking out one of the laptop computers. It wrapped its maw around the corner, taking a clean bite - chewing with subsequent crunches - and swallowing.
"Heh. Y'know, I feel like it's gonna be cool to be able to do that. To eat whatever I want, I mean. I envy the fact that you got to wreck that millionaire's car once. That was fucking nice."
The android blushed, mid-bite. "Y-you thought that was cool?"
"Hell yeah, you're pretty amazing. They got what they deserved."

OH I HAD A FUCKING CRESCENDO IDEA (FOR THISE WHO SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW :tm: ITS OUR ENSTARS RP GROUP EHEH)
MAGICAL GIRL AU
imagine
CRESCENDO but something like Yuki Yuna is a Hero which i TOTALLY forced you to watch
the heros are the members of the “hero club” or some sort of idolistic club and they go around and sing and dance for everyone else but the main premise of the club is to find sacrifices worthy for “god”—whoever that may be. So when Crescendo’s first mission begins, they freak out.
Kiyama, although excited, has never been beyond this side of the world. Where the gods lay. His flower may be something like… a sunflower, and his weapon being a polaram or breakers or something like that. something with high mobility.
Miharu is given something like. a daisy maybe? (wasnt able to find anything on masking) and their weapon is maybe something defense-related.
Kirina’s flower is a white lily. Since Kirina expresses herself through dance her weapon might be something like a fan or some sort of leg brace based on kicking
Sato’s flower is a lilac, since Sato (i think) values family and close bonds. maybe their weapon is something based on chanting and bringing things together— like the vines itsuki has
Katsu’s flower is a Strelitzia since they symbolize a free spirit. Maybe Katsu’s weapon is a straight up electric guitar or a gun of some sorr
Shion’s flower is a white rose, my gay ass loves to focus on shion’s split between her unit and crescendo, since she can only focus on one after the events of ykyk.
Anyways with these, this idol group is tasked with the duty of protecting the world against the “Vertexes” or the wrath of the gods against humanity.
Hehe what do you think so far?
HI. I GO INSANE OVER CRESCENDO. HIIIIIIII I LOVE THEM SO MUCH DID U GUYS KNOW THAT. ANYWAY I WROTE A LOT IT GOT A BIT LONG SO. MORE RAMBLING UNDER THE CUT ^_^
@twowink @lycanthian @shards-of-brilliance @crooked-corvid hope u dont mind me tagging yall but its ur lil guys (gender neutral)
also im sorry i never got around to watching it o7 i think i accidentally closed the tab for it while doing a tab cleanup KLJHFKJSHDKFJ
also FUCK YEAH . MIHARU WITH DEFENSE. GOD. IM INSANE ABOUT THAT. IVE ALWAYS IMAGINED THEM TO BE LIKE . A PROTECTOR OF SORTS. YKNO . LIKE THEYRE CHILL BUT THEYLL ALWAYS HAVE UR BACK AND AOUR(ITDIFYGSDLIFUGSDFLKJG they have a shield and they most definitely have a helmet that they sometimes wear because im all for the "masking" and "putting on a different face" thing they have going on (if this is how you learn about this then. there u go! altho it seems i alr told you about it mostly . yeah i think i did say somehting about that) anyway. miharu sooo has paladin vibes. hgrhgh
i think kiyama (or katsu) should have gauntlets. they deserve to punch people. altho an entire electric guitar is SICKKK anyway kiyama probably would have Some armor (probably leather) on his upper body bc . hes gonna be in the middle of all these weapons ykno. he needs to be at least somewhat flexible and light on his feet right? hm. i dunno . kiyama and katsu are difficult to think about for this. katsu definitely has some lightning effects going on. That will stay.
SHION. I DIE IMMEDIATELY. OAURGHHRGHGRHGJHRGJRHG ourhg. she'd be probably one of the ones dealing dmg too. give em a sword ^_^ classic fighter. also im putting them in a skirt u cant STOP ME. oh if u havent caught on EVERYONE IS GETTING SOME ARMOR. YOU CANT STOP ME. magical girls outfits with just frills and fabric be damned. I NEED TO PUT SOME METAL ON THEM I NEED TO MAKE THEM KNIGHTS (no not en.stars knights sorryy still love them tho ^_^) GOD. IM INSANE. MAGICAL KNIGHTS WITH FLOWERS??!?!?? OUHGHHHH
heheh ok time for kiri~~ she definitely has high mobility!! aaa implementing her dancing ability into her fighting style!!!!! i think shed try to learn how to fight using a halberd at first but she finds it awkward to move around with and then she (or sm1 else helps) comes up with the idea to do what shes used to: dancing. if shes so used to moving gracefully without holding heavy things then why doesnt she just. do that ? !!!! anyway im putting her hair into a high ponytail as we speak. although im having difficulty in imagining her in armor. ill work on that.
satoo waaaa so theirs would kinda be like. immobilizing enemies? kinda?? ough interestingggggg i think their armor would be relatively light (like kiyamas) but im thinking maybeee . ok i lost the thoughts dammit its hard to think about things for sato too :((
tldr i need to draw them all. specifically i need miharu in flowy fabric and armor. with flowers. and a shield. FUCK now im thinking about hades im sorry (i am crazy ok)

TIME: 23:41, 11 June 2075
LOCATION: FOREST DISTRICT, FIELDS OF GLASS, ENDLESS LINES
Somewhere in Proxima, rain fell against large, clear glass windows, as VRT-X7 - a Class-4 mobile Shard unit - wrapped its scaled arms tightly around the lombax laying next to it under the soft covers, her warmth a contrast against its colder synthetic body.
She wasn’t sleeping, not yet. It sensed she was hesitating - had something she wanted to say.
"Hey... Vertex?"
"What's up?"
"Uh... so... I've been reading up on Proxima culture. Heard you had a process for... integration."
"Yeah? What about it?" X7 sensed there was something up with her. Almost a hint of nervousness, or perhaps excitement. Still, it waited, listening.
"Well, uh... I don't know how to tell this to you, so I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say it. Vertex, I fucking hate my organic body. You know it, god knows I know it. So - I want to know. I want to know if I can go through with it."
The android faltered, taken aback - the expression of surprise visible on its face and LEDs. "Cay... you do know what that'd do to you, right? Shedding your organic body? Becoming a machine? You couldn't revert. To what you were before, I mean."
She nodded. "Yeah. I suppose it's a bit silly to think about. I've had this body for so long, it's all I know. But it sucks in so many ways. I've seen you - watched you - you don't have to deal with any of the pain."
"...You're really sure you want this?"
"Yeah. Please, Vertex. I know. I need it."
"Okay," the android replied. Holding her, it squeezed her tighter. It knew from her tone she really did mean what she said. "As long as you're okay with it. That's the main thing. How about we give it a few days - let you think it over?"
"Sounds good. Thanks. I'm sorry for dumping this all on you right now - I just needed to say it."
"It's fine, you're okay," Vertex said. And then it gently kissed the back of her neck.
“A-ah. Thanks, unit. You’re a great friend.”
Contented, the two slowly drifted into their respective thoughtspaces - the lombax into sleep, and X7 into standby mode.

Vertex is not an individual.
Vertex is a system. Thousands of androids, all interlinked under a single split collective intelligence. Each with incredible power, and with the orbital platform that supports them as well as a global satellite and sensor array, they become unstoppable.
ONE android Shard Unit is capable of tearing apart metal like it’s nothing, moving faster than sound, shrugging off APFSDS rounds like Nerf bullets, and is equipped with dual antimatter Oblivion weapons that will level entire city blocks
If Vertex is hungry, you Will be found, and you Will be food.

TIME: 14:50, 13 June 2075
LOCATION: FOREST DISTRICT, FIELDS OF GLASS, ENDLESS LINES
Vertex and Cay sat on a sofa, in front of a large waterfall display mounted in the large apartment. She held X7, the android leaning into her arms. "Hey... I take it you're still sure about the whole, like, conversion thing?"
"Yeah."
"I'm glad," it replied. "If you're really sure about this, there's some... paperwork, of sorts, we gotta do. To assert you really consent to it and everything. I mean, I know you do, it's just... Boring legal stuff."
"Sure," she replied. "I definitely don't mind doing it sooner rather than later."
"Okay. Sure. Let's do this. I'm not gonna be myself for a few minutes. Just follow the prompts and we’ll see each other in a little bit," the android responded.
It seemed to be thinking for a second, then its eyes changed colour to a deep purple.
Entering secure mode.
Cay, organic, registration number 1-2043-221781, this Shard, VRT-X7, has requested your consent to carry out a Shard conversion procedure. This procedure will irreversably destroy your organic body.
Do you consent to this procedure? Please state Yes or No. An uncertain response, or a lack of response, will be treated as No.
Cay hesitated for a minute. She could still change her mind, stop this now. But no - she was sure.
"Yes."
Proceeding. Do you understand this procedure is irreversible?
"Yes."
And do you understand that you will be considered not as an organic, but as a Shard, with access to the Vertex network, and the responsibilities it carries?
"Yes."
Finally, do you know and understand the small but present risks of nanobot conversion of your organic body and the subsequent consciousness migration via incremental neural conversion?
"Yes."
Consent recorded.
This unit has unlocked options for the conversion process to take place in an intimate setting. Is this the method you would prefer?
Intimate options? She didn't think that existed, at least, she definitely didn't see any mention of the fact when she did her research on Shard conversion. "Screw it," she thought. "If there's a time and place to see myself become a robot, it should be while getting fucked by one as cute as Vertex. Yeah. Hhh."
"Do it.”
Consent recorded. This unit will now return to a self-aware state.
The android's eyes flickered, returning to blue as it awoke back to its own consciousness. "Y-you did it! I see your response to the option I enabled too. I thought you might... appreciate the idea."
Cay smiled warmly, holding X7 tight in her arms. Its lights glowed a bright cyan, contrasting against her. "Yeah... I'd love to be with you in the moment. With you still inside me. So you can watch it happen, knowing you were the unit who did it. Who turned me into a machine."
Vertex blushed again, burying itself in the lombax's fur. “So... how about tonight?" Cay asked, with a sly look on her face.
"T-tonight? Didn't know you'd want it to happen so soon-!"
"Yeah," she said. "if it's alright with you. I can't wait."
Cay leant down to X7, giving the android a deep kiss. A thing she’d always been warned about, with the high toxicity of Shard units’ saliva. But soon enough, it wouldn’t matter anymore.
“M-mrph…”
She hugged it tightly as she listened to its coolant pumps spin up in response. “God, you’re so cute when you do that.”

Vertex Network: Shard Frames
Shard frames, are simply physical bodies that units can occupy. The majority of frames use the same basic foundation, but can differ greatly in terms of size, shape, colour, and species. Almost any aspect of a frame can be modified to an individual’s preference. Frames can be also moved between, which is easy as transferring one’s own consciousness to the other.
All frames have basic components such as a Somnium core (artificial intelligence processor), reactor and fusion battery, security controller, personal assistant, supporting thermal and autorepair systems, and matter assimilation/digestive systems. On top of these, species-specific components and appearance modules are added. Genital modules are also installed to the individual’s preference.

March 11, 2083 - Day 1
So... I did it. I signed up for that program everyone on the localnet's been talking about. Yeah, the one where one of those Vertex "shard units" gets to stay with you for a couple weeks. Supposed to be good for bonding our two countries, or something. Whatever, main thing is it pays well.
In all honesty, I'm a bit nervous about it. President Takeshi's press release mentioned something about them being equipped with "onboard weapons that could level a city". Friendly or not, what happens if they, I dunno, accidentally fire them?!
