New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Cover looks around slightly incredulously at the other students as they tell her they are ok with being recorded at all times. "We have grown up in very different environments."

"Amy, since you say that we are free to set the parameters under which recording are kept, my parameters are simple, absolutely no recording is to be kept that captures my voice or my image. Now tell us a bit more about these administrative parameters, what do they cover?"

"In answer to everyone's curiosity, the reason I am so concerned is that my actions reflect on more than just myself. People have expressed confidence in me in the media, so what I do and say reflects back on them, and on my family. Its a British thing, at least in my families' social circle it is. Her Royal Highness expressed her confidence that I would be a credit to the Kingdom after the footage of my break out hit the news."

"Well relax Princess I am sure her Royal Highness will be plenty proud of you after you finish here, but if any paparazzi come a calling I will be sure to warn them about the stern thrashing you gave the punching bag," Nick retorts with a smirk.
 

Clover gives Nick the same glare that she had turned on the punching bag before she had laid into it, then she starts punching the bag again as she waits for Amy's response. "Don't call me princess." she says tells the black kid between blows. For those who know martial arts, Clover style of punches and kicks looks a lot like the hand to hand combat that they use in the British armed forces, though there is a lot more strikes with the offhand than is normal.

Nick cracks a wry smile, "Sure thing your Highness."
 

"Johnathan Mayors? I wonder how he will react to your friend Raph. Looks like I'm stuck with the name of some important man's son, which may have positive or negative consequences. I still wish we were not forced to share rooms, which, given the overcapacity of the school, seems unnecessary."

"So, should we continue our tour? I don't want to spend all day here just yet," Emmet says with a smile. "It is surprising that we have not yet managed to bump into any other students exploring the facility. I wonder where the rest of the student body is currently congregating."
 

Yoshi had some good traits, but Jerry wasn't sure about Frenchy.

"Well it is new. No helping it," Jerry made himself say evenly. Stuck up a might?

"And in the middle of a jungle that was once a desert," Josee adds. "If they are changing it anyway, why not to something more like a resort town? If I want to be this hot and humid, I would be sunning myself on the beach, no?"

She looks at Jerry as they walk, and it's almost as though she finally just noticed him. "Your accent, you are Australian, no? Some very nice beaches there."
 


“But just in case we can look into it, umm Amy right? Is that your name? Your name is Amy right?”

"This system responds to the name Amy," the computer acknowledges.

Nick smirks at an inward joke, ”Nice to meet you Amy, I am Nick, so what else do you do here, do you cook? Wash windows? Are you one of those crazed AI things that eventually turn against us mere humans and wipe us off the planet? I mean if you are, would you tell us? Also Amy, I can call you Amy right, I am hungry where can I get some food?”

"This system supplies monitoring and security within institute grounds, provides a messaging service for those on institute grounds, and supplies information as inquired by those with clearance. This system is not programmed to cook or clean and has no motivation beyond its programmed mandate," it replies, not really seeing the humor in the joke. "The cafeteria is located in the western wing. Food is supplied to students, faculty and registered guests only."

"Amy, since you say that we are free to set the parameters under which recording are kept, my parameters are simple, absolutely no recording is to be kept that captures my voice or my image. Now tell us a bit more about these administrative parameters, what do they cover?"

"Request processed. Be aware that any incidental recording of your voice or image may be saved as a result of another student's parameters, as well as by any parameters set by administration," Amy replies. "Administration parameters are set in accordance to the Rules and Regulations chapter of the Student Handbook, supplied to each student as a part of their student's kit and available online at the institute's internet website."

"In answer to everyone's curiosity, the reason I am so concerned is that my actions reflect on more than just myself.

Her Royal Highness expressed her confidence that I would be a credit to the Kingdom after the footage of my break out hit the news."

"I'm with the guys, Clo, it's not a big deal," Stacy tells the British teen. "I kinda, sorta see what you mean, but, like, wouldn't the paparazzi be all over you out there? You said your breakout was all over the news over there, so aren't you, like, better off in here, even with Big Sister watching?"

Yoshi can't help but nearly double over laughing at what Nick says, adding a pantomime with a really bad British accent to boot, "Oh my, the paper's got another picture of me without my knickers, whatever shall I do?"
 

Nick gestures to the teens, "Clover, babe, I didn’t mean to make you more angry if I did, just trying to keep things loose around here; we have enough problems being elites as it is without trying to kill each other. Later we should hook up, show you some Jujitsu moves, might help broaden your horizons,” the young wrestler winks. “I am hitting the cafeteria for some food, any of you want to come along? Trilly, Yoshi, Clover? If not I can catch you guys later, I am sure we will all be seeing a bunch of each other..."

"You message people too? Damn that is pretty cool… you lose points for not cooking though; we are going to have to fix that Amy. Hey can you tell me what room I am in? Since you seem to know everything… my roommate and all that stuff?” He does not wait for an answer he starts walking to get some grub duffel bag over his shoulder once more.
