Durandals everywhere

[general_radix]

You know what's fun? Imagining how everyone else's interpretation of Durandal would react to/interact with Inm!Durandal, who's comparatively kinder and more tactful (albeit, no less dangerous when pushed).

Discussions welcome. :D (Naedia doesn't really have anything to do with all this; I just wanted to use that icon again)

JK!Durandal would be rather incredulous about one thing: the fact that the android vessel isn't a projection or an ancillary, but the new main core of Inm!Durandal.

After a bit of boggling he would he could come at an understanding (after pestering Alex every five minutes with melodramatic "HOW HE COULD" "BUT WHY" "HUMANS ARE SO BELOW US, WHY") because, well, they both are the same sentience, even if they developed in different ways.

But the only thing JK!Durandal won't let pass is... "couldn't you get a taller android vessel??"

Inm!Durandal gets to explain how cold and lonely cyberspace was, and how making the jump allowed him to live alongside Vince and not just off and to the side of him. XD Which probably goes further into all of the advantages and unique sensory experiences of the physical plane, even if there's a few trade-offs (i.e. no longer being the omnipotent lord of the ship).

I've a feeling JK!Durandal would still be incredibly resistant. XD; (At that point Inm!Durandal might ask "isn't there someone among your own crew that you lo--" and then realize he said too much and flee)

Your feeling is correct! And also the following scene :D :D

The relationship between Alex and Durandal is more on the platonic side, but Durandal developed a certain possessiveness[sp?] about his bodyguard/security officer/distributor of explosions. And a bit of respect, too. Of course he won't say that explicitly, might the aforementioned bodyguard became too swollen-headed.

I already have the idea of JK!Durandal human avatar, he finally got one ...because you can't even trust humans too much as he says, expecially on diplomatic missions and the like. (Just having to choose among the 72484 sketches.) But in his case it will be something like a solid holographic projection, and you can bet he will copiously and vociferously grumble about having to confine one of his many subroutines to the puny physical and sensorial range of a human :D

He caaaares about his human crew. He just won't be caught dead about confessing this.

Hehe. :D I guess if there's one thing our various interpretations of Durandal have in common, it's that they meant it when they said "you know I'll never let you go"...

:DDD Looking forward to seeing the final result! (And the sketches that went un-picked; I always like looking over development processes)

Something tells me that DitS Durandal would understand and relate with JK Durandal very well.

"How he could... But why?" asks JK Durandal

DitS just nods while watching the scene before them. "I feel you. I don't understand why Inm Durandal would limit himself like that either."

Then they secretly bro-fist and never speak of it again.

Hahahaha, yes, something like this :D
