Professor Midnight Lucesco

Anima and their Origins 

ANIMA comes from latin meaning: “soul.” They gave this name the stones after being discovered by the science and research team that Professor Lucesco and Dr. Exitium were the leaders of that project, The discovery of these stones was found on an isolated planet called Zeon N2R. 

It has been rumored that the planet has fallen under many circumstances. The civilization collapsed and the race almost entirely wiped out. Only a few survivors migrated to other places, but their race perished. It was known as the Great Disaster in the galaxy of Aristaeus in their history. 

The team went to salvage anything they could use to help their planet. The stumbles upon an ancient sanctuary and that’s when they found several strange stones. These stones looked ordinary at glance, but gave off a strange radiation once someone got close it. Most of the stones were shattered, but the ones they found seems to be in good conditions. 

Once the team returned, they began to do deep studying and research on these stones. Where did they come from? Who created them? But the secret they were trying to unlock was their power and their source. From their findings, these stones reacts to souls or living sources. The planet itself seems to act as a generator and these were the componetents that powers it. The Vims believe they finally found away to save their planet that was slowly decaying. 

Little did they know, they would repeat the Great Disaster, but in the form of war. The power of these stones shouldn’t never reached their hands. Professor Lucesco discovered the potential dangers of using these stones, but she ignored the warning and the project NUMINE continued this launch. 

“What? It was only for an hour!… Or two. But it wasn’t three,  haven’t gone that far before. That much I recall for sure.”

The cosmic contender scratched his head, and scrambled to climb out of his hammock with a spin, before it finally spit him out. The time had come once again– much like the last person in the line-up for picking team members to play in a ball game on the schoolyard, for Rex to lend his efforts to render aid onto another!

“Task particulars before discussing the bill, Professor.”

There was no doubt that Lucesco’s payment would be adequate, the two of them had probably gone over that before. So it wasn’t just an estimate Rex was making. He was genuinely prioritizing trying to understand the exact nature of the problem she had on her hands.

“Gimme as much info as possible in regards to what needs doing– if it’s something major, after all.”

The mission itself was dangerous, but someone like Rex could handle it. The extremely threatening menaces she would handle on her own. He doesn’t have the power of the Anima stowed within him like Jupiter Stealth, but he can prove his own feat, it’s not like she’ll let him go alone. She will come along as observe him and treat this as a “test” of his abilities. Words of one of endeavours can easily an easy misconception, she would have see the truth of herself of this “legendary hero” that Miss Kuromoto spoke of.

“There is an attack of abyssal creatures located in a special ward somewhere in America. So far, their troops or warriors haven’t be able to eradicate it. So they classified it as a C-Ranked threat. While it’s not overly threatening, it’s powerful enough to cause trouble for someone with average abilities.” 

Taking on the monsters will be considered an impressive achievement with someone at his skill level. Of course, she was also recording this data for her own research purposes. This will help aid herself for her own mission. While she can’t be on the frontline, she can aid with what data she secured over the years.

@cadcnce​​​ asked: "Remind me again how long it's going to take to break into this mainframe? Feeling like I should have packed a game or something. We still got places to be and like three more doors to go." Wylan wipes a small bit of blood and checks the grip on his weapon. A few hiccups aside, it was still a nonlethal infiltration.

The Professor knew that time is of the essence, but she also knew techology was complex. The security of this place was well established, even breaking in and fighting past the guard was a bit of a feat, but they accomplished their task. Now Midnight was finishing up the difficult part, however, as she expected—even hacking into their mainframe was arduous,but not impossible.

“Approximately fifteen minutes, so you have to buy me a bit more time. I have high hopes you can protect me. I will be unable to defend myself while my focus is to get in. This mission will be a success. Trust in my abilities, you did hire me to get this job done did you not?”

If anything, she could be confident in was her ability to get around this. Compared to the tech back from her old planet, this wasn’t much a headache. Just a matter of breaking down the code, getting the password wasn’t required for her with this method. She’ll basically reprogram their systems and be able to hijack with it before they could take control. 

  “I didn’t know you were back…” The boy mumbled to himself as he swiveled around on the chair to face his adoptive mother. She wasn’t around much, being busy with whatever it was that science types like her did. Any other kid would start feeling neglected after a while. Kouki, though, fell back on old habits whenever she was gone. This was the second chance he gave her, and while she was far from a perfect mother, at least she was trying this time around…. even if “trying” in this case was coming home occasionally to give him gifts.

  At least he was independent enough to make a day out of a misadventure in the mountains.

  “I… don’t know how to program AI? I’m, like, thirteen and my go-to option when something technical starts acting up is to either smack it or blow air into it to get the dust out. But it would be pretty cool to have a robot for a friend… well, the idea is cool, anyway.”

  The boy’s lack of skill with coding aside, the idea seemed decent on paper, and perhaps basing his assumptions off of trope-filled media like games and shows wasn’t the best way to think about ideas, yet his mind couldn’t help wandering to the possible ways that having an artificial friend could backfire. Some outcomes were obviously more entertaining than others. Though really, how could he consider something a friend when it would be made specifically to be buddy-buddy with him? It would just be lifeless code. Simply following orders rather than thinking for itself.

  “Really though, you don’t have to find someone to keep me company. I just… I dunno, I just wish I had a friend with the same interests as me, I guess? But enough with my complaining, you’ve got gifts, and I’ve got bottomless curiosity, so what’d you get me?”

The Professor forgotten that Kouki wasn’t adapted in an environment where technological knowledge was supreme. He lacked a social etiquette on top of it all. How can she adjust a child used to living in the wilderness? This will take more than just a few lessons of teaching—that is if she can gain his attention span to teach him his lessons. Maybe she should hire a tutor? She knew that Mercurius was once a teacher. Maybe she should hand Kouki in his care for lessons? 

“It already programmed for those who aren’t adequate in technology, all you will have to is issue it commands and it’ll automatically go from there. I know of a colleague who created an android that could develop emotions and an independent mind. Don’t underestimate a capability of an AI.” 

Midnight could understand why humans feared Artificial Intelligent beings, they can surpass human knowledge and efficiency. However, the chances of an AI turning on its Master is slim—unless their Master gave the AI a reason to turn against them. Abuse, neglect, and other factors are normally the reason. However, she didn’t return to see her son to just debate about AI.

“I apologize for now being around as much for giving you attention. However, I finish the work I needed to be done, so for now, you and I can take this time to get to know each other more.” 

There was an unbridled guilt within her—but she wouldn’t speak upon it. Her work was finished the resources and research will help her put an end to the disasters caused by Noctis, but she knew it would pay a price for it all, but it will be worth it to get rid of the nightmare that plagued and wedge war for years. 

𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐒, rather he’d devote the passing ticks to tinkering with an old plating he found in an antique microwave. Seafoam colored optics stare at the onyx plate before pupils dilate into the shape of crosshairs——taking in the makeup comprised beneath the erosion. ❛ 235U …239Pu … these are in fact antique to later designs. ❜ murmurs the ALCHETECH mechanic to himself. He’d hardly the time to make for introductory conduct, catching traces of compound fissures that he’s never experienced before on a human plane. ELEMENT 98, something that was seldom known among mortals ( unless artficially conjured )——typically atomic bodies seen in the spectrae of stars or supernovae being the only entities that could natually radiate such an element; was heavily potent in the woman whom appeared——among the region of her obscurely fashioned hair. ❛ Ah~ ? Yet another exhibit of STELLAE NUCLEI. ❜ Speaks the goggle-adorned male, gesturing a gloved hand over to fish for the lightning drive he collectively archived the information from the other’s Super Computer. His words weren’t the least bit considerate, nor did he intentionally provide bite. All he witnessed before was a commission and a study to conduct.  ❛ Considering your kind, your antique would have found its wear in another half-life of 60 years——much like the plating of this deposit here. ❜ He stated, gesturing back over to the disk-like plate he was working on prior. ❛ Your better interest is to compose something that won’t leak its properties much like the CHERNOBYL incident … or something. ❜ Worse case scenario, if Mercury were nearly within proximity of her lab during the shadow period of his retrogrades, he may have caused for a Nuclear explosion. Given the atomic make-up of this woman exceeding boundaries of what he deemed earthly, he retires his eyes and turns back to tinkering with his plate. ❛I guess some good came from abdicating your prior self, but the make-up doesn’t lie.❜

It was cumbersome being under the eyes of inspection from someone outside her contact. Midnight felt threatened by the other—anyone with the name IL Vuoto should be take with precautions in her eyes. They had abilities that exceed her expectation and this one was able to see her molecular make up.

 Exposing the secrecy of her origins prior to becoming a scientific researcher. It was no secret she was a lifeform from another planet, but the origins of her divinity wasn’t something she wanted known. But she also feels she could trust him because of who his family is. The IL Vutoto also held secrets of the unknown that would be considered a threat to others who obtained the knowledge of their alchemy. 

Regardless, it made her feel as if he undressed her soul, unveiling the vulnerable parts she desired to suppress. Her hands slides in the pockets of her lab coat, her expression narrowed in a vacant glare—lacking any visibility of her annoyance. Her tone betrayed her apathetic composure. 

“I did not hire you to analysis me,” Midnight resorts, her back immediately turns on the mechanic. “Just finish your job and I’ll pay you accordingly.” 

The professor made note of his observation in regards of her machinery. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have access to the same resources that she used back at home. The technology on earth was less advance and she couldn’t dispute his insight, he knew what he was doing. Hopefully, he won’t be too much of a bother.
