Larial

[Morgan Freeman]

"Absolutely, where would you like to go?  You have a complete list of everything on board this station and on the fleets vessels.   Might I add, I am very pleased with your progress Larial.  You have excelled far beyond where I thought you would so far in your development."

Morgan makes the final touches on Larial and closes the access port on the side of her head.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Are you doing ok Larial?  You shut down for a while, are all of your systems functioning properly?"

[Larial]

"My power supply is almost at 100%, as for what I would like to do."

Larial thought for a moment, well a second anyway.

"I am your's to command, Morgan."

[Morgan Freeman]

"SO that was a little faster then I wanted it to be but as long as you get the information that you need I suppose there is nothing to worry about.  
Speaking of which, what are you interested in?  Is there something you would like to do.  Science, engineering, medical.  All of them are fields that you could very easily qualify for.  Would you like to see about engineering?"

[Morgan Freeman]

"Very nice, well done" Morgan says pleased with the progress made.  

"Now I need you to do several things for me.   First I need you to access file Morgan engineering 15-A, you should find a basic technical documentation on warp core construction.  Also I need you to access medical file 8-C and tell me the basics of the human nervous system.  Finally, tell me how you feel."

[Larial]

Larial frowned.
"T'lana's love interest in science has been passed on to me and I have an interest in engineering, so I guess in time I shall download that information, but also T'lana's suggestion of being the core of a starship sounds interesting as well. I too would like to know why you keep asking father? I have only been just activated and have a lot to learn."

[Larial]

"Acknowledged Morgan."

"My motor reflex is well within normal parameters, Morgan. Can we go and explore now...please?" Larial asked, with an almost childlike need.

[Larial]

"Acknowledged Morgan."

An overlay schematic appeared in the upper left hand corner of her visual display, showing where they were and where to head.
So Larial set off with Morgan following towards the Celtic Corner.

The first alien species she came across to follow her test was a Vulcan.

"Na'Shaya"

Walking on she stated.

"Vulcan male, planet of origin Vulcan in the 40 Eridani System."

Further along was a human female, considering her another species, to what she was she said,

"Hello."

"Human female, planet of origin Earth, sol system."

Turning the corner and to a turbolift, there was a Klingon waiting for the turbolift.

"Hello." Stated Larial.

The Klingon looked at her strangely as she stated,

"Klingon male, planet of origin Qo'nos, Qo'nos system."

Riding the turbolift, the Klingon staying behind waiting for the next one.

On the Habitat level, there were several species to choose from, but logically the first species she came across that would conform to her instructions was a Trill.

"Hello." stated Larial.

Moving towards the Celtic Corner's entrance, she stated;

"Trill female, planet of origin Trill, joined species with a vermiform symbiont via an abdominal pouch."

With that she entered the Celtic Corner and looked around the room. The optical overlay showed her every species' information and their gender.

"Have I succeeded in my task, Morgan?"

[T'lana]

T'lana, was used to people saying how beautiful she was, but didn't really take much notice in it, emotional beings take great stock in the perceptual countenance of individuals and so she usually just tried to go with it.

"Thank you Larial." looked to Morgan.

"Am I to assume Larial has just been activated given her current cognitive skills and am I correct in also assuming that she possesses a self-perpetuating Positronic Neural Net?"

[Larial]

Larial accessed human inter-personal relationships in her reference datafiles and decided to give Morgan a hug.

"I am fine with that Morgan, it means I am a lifeform rather than just a tool."

Larial released Morgan and sat down in the nearest bioform chair.

"Thank you for repairing me."

[Morgan Freeman]

"Thank you T'lana" Morgan said as he turned to Larial "How do you feel my dear girl?" he asked concerned.

[T'lana]

T'lana looked at Morgan.

"You seem to be rather preoccupied with Larial's vocation Morgan, it is illogical to keep asking her the same question repeatedly."

[Larial]

Larial was pleased that her creator liked the information given and was eager to continue pleasing him.

"Affirmative Morgan."

"The human nervous system consists of neurons within a fibrous shell. Each neuron transmits an electrolytic spark, from neuron to neuron by the use of neurotransmitters such as serotonin."

Larial had finished her basic citation of the nervous system, but was perplexed by her creator's last question.

"I do not understand the last question Morgan, am I damaged?"

[Morgan Freeman]

"Yes you have, however I meant that you should wait until after we got out of the person's earshot before telling me about them.  Not bad for your first run out though.  So, what do you think about the Celtic Corner?  Do you understand its function on Avalon Station?"

[Larial]

Larial looked down at her body and wondered as her Neural Net assimilated the information taught to her by T'lana.
When Morgan asked her the question of how she was, her Neural Net was pondering every inch of her anatomically correct body.

Looking up as though startled out of a dream, she said.

"Er...I don't know...I guess I am confused, but I am currently functioning...er...I am fine thank for asking Morgan."

Larial moved closely to T'lana and stated,

"Thank you very much T'lana, I...I actually feel something, I feel like a real woman."

Right then Larial's Neural Net shut down to replicate more Positronic Neural Networks and moved her mind up to late twenties worth of experience, in essence she was no longer a child, but a woman.

After about 20 minutes, Larial's Neural Net rebooted and she opened her eyes to a worried Morgan and an understanding T'lana.
