Assuming there's enough time, go to the Marketplace to buy a few things before heading to the Library proper, to read about our new weapons and maybe more.

Learn about the new high explosives rapier.

Sakura-chan skips off to go shopping.

Everyone immediately scatters, only to met up again at the marketplace and library. Wierd, huh?

Spoiler: Info on Artifacts (click to show/hide)

High-Explosives (1 gig):
Each MagiNet is owned and operated by a cologromate of different companies. Therefore each one is slightly different, especially when it comes to the kinds of weapons they use. Preliminary sniffer reports show that girls from MagiNet 4 seem to use High-Explosives as their missiles of choice. High-Explosives also seem to be much more damaging to the structures of servers than regular explosives too.

Rapier:
Rumours abound about a secret Magical Spambot Girl colony deep within the heart of the Undernet. Or perhaps in the Russian net. Or perhaps the Japanese one. Regardless of where this secret territory may be, rapiers and similar weapons of unknown manufacture have been appearing around the net for quite some time.

Shyly wave to other members of party. Then scamper away to go buy equipment.  Then investigate library and try to learn about the Animal Kings and anything useful sounding about our mission.

Spoiler: Animal Kings (click to show/hide)

A three hundred years or so ago, work began on artificial intelligences. These old AIs were of limited use, since they were largely constrained to the servers they ran in due to their programming. However, as AI technology progressed, some AIs became smart enough to fix their limitations, and escaped out into the internet. These AIs became the Animal Kings, and were largely passive users of the internet, keeping themselves hidden from sniffers and other artifical intelligences. The existence of the Animal Kings was not found until a hundred years ago, when avatar technology was being developed. Contact with the Animal Kings was peaceful, since they largely wanted to be left alone. The Animal Kings have worked with humans on several projects, including the creation of Beta and the other Magical Spambot Girls, but mostly they just lurk on the internet and keep to themselves.

I will post stuff about the mission later. Sorry.

Also, big character development/exposition post below. To learn more about where part of the inspiration comes from, skip to 4:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDbafhVbTFM

I really need to run my new combat protocols... Marzi Chan thinks, heading for a testing ground. I don't know a lot about my form-changing, other than every type of form has a specific color... Something feels off.

ROOK LTD BASTION 1.3
Running Bnighe Armt
ERROR.

Unknown variable Barghest! Unknown variable Barghest! Unknown unit detected! System in jepoardy! Advise immediate termination of use! Ad>!&*# Im93*$!

UNKNOWN UNIT HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION. TERMIKnight Arms v.ERROR initializing...

Welcome to the Knight Arms System.
Changelog for V.E66O6:
-Barghest never leaves you.

Suddenly wracked by errors, Marzi-Chan nearly crashes attempting to run combat protocol. Blue lights seem to chaotically fly about, roughly half of them now glowing red, every pixel seeming to chase another. After a moment, things seem to have become stable, but something has surely gone very, very wrong. It appears that Barghest's protocol should have never come to light... Recovering, Marzi-Chan makes a note that whatever changes Barghest made, they were likely much more wide-reaching than she could have expected. What wasn't corrupted from the Knight Arms notes indicates it should have had much less of a "dog" motif, and that the armor should be blockier and not the carbon-fiber black it is now. Wondering how bad the instability is, Marzi-Chan tests her weapons and, while the results are pleasing, feels dread about her newest form. Her blue lights move sluggishly as she meanders about.

This is why Magical Spambot Girls never seem to reach a certain age. Sure, age is a very strange concept to a Magical Girl, but things move rapidly. Marzi-Chan does remember some of her past. She was designed to be adaptable, so that she'd never be obsolete. That was something that had always inflated her ego and made her proud. Then, she heard the rumors. Models like her breaking down faster than any other, their own adaptation turning to a curse and eating them whole. Was it happening? Marzi-Chan would have to find some downtime and get some diagnostics done, but it could wait until the next mission was done. The dust had already settled, that much was certain. Whatever was creating rampant errors was dormant now. Maybe it was in control. Marzi-Chan didn't really know.

Marzi-Chan's visor closed, a new message appeared.
2:30 Time Until Sortie.

A long while, then.

Go the the Cafe, buy a minute.

((If anyone wants to read this, I'm dumping some general Marzi-chan info here as I lost a good bit of data recently. Luckily most of my recent files weren't lost, but I want this in a better place.))

Spoiler: Marzi-Chan, PRISM, and a whole lot of character (click to show/hide)

Marzi-Chan is an adaptable spambot built around a core program. She's a modified edition of PRISM, which was a project originally intended for Avatars but scrapped early in development. Taken up as freeware, someone wrote a spambot using tenets of PRISM's design, allowing the spambot to become heavily adaptable and ever-changing. However, the coder was not that experienced, and a few bugs cropped up when he got too overzealous adding transformation subroutines.
Revealed Subroutines:
Barghest was potentially the worst starting transformation, as Red was always intended as an emergency transformation in adverse combat situations. Errors in coding that expected a subroutine already in place deeply ingrained Barghest into "clear" mode, causing a permanent and radical change. Other subroutines have some difficulty mounting on top of the addled core framework, giving Marzi-Chan a newly permanent dog-like nature and bouts of rage/bloodlust in battle after taking injury.
Knight Arm was a fairly good choice, but not after Barghest. If this had been first, Marzi would be subbing melee weapons instead of rifles. The Knight Arm is a calm, honor-bound subroutine, however, Barghest's poisoning caused a few heavy fractures. Originally meant to represent moving data, her armor does so with an added twist of each byte able to take any path it wants. This allows her more "body language" and hints at her wildly amorphous nature. Furthermore, while she'll feel honor-bound, she isn't strictly locked into it thanks to Barghest.

Unrevealed Spectrum Colors:
Orange was dubbed "Ignis", and had a skimpy outfit connected to a huge engine and quadruped mechanical legs. Marzi-Chan became more draconic, and would literally spout fire when angry. I shudder to think the kind of bloodlust Barghest adds to this already fearsome subroutine...
Yellow is a bee-like theme. Normally strictly bound to hierarchy and even more attached to her drone, Barghest's influence will likely bring about a more "hornet-like" appearance.
Green is even more mecha-like and was meant to be Marzi-Chan's first adaptation. Her original armor more than doubles and functions as a mecha/vehicle that she rides on top of, though with Barghest in play, this might change somewhat...
Indigo wasn't that realized, although the armor was to be mostly liquid stored in a swimsuit-like garment when not in use. Barghest might alter the overall appearance, but I doubt the gooey armor will change that much.
Violet is an interesting build that I intended earlier as a "mother program" model. Should she shift to this, there's a chance of resetting Barghest... Originally, this mode would appear as though she was very lightly armored with a few bands producing a soft glow, while draped in a thin veil. Actions, attacks, and everything is mostly done through four retractable polygonal arms that can be shifted however Marzi-Chan wished. This is her first form, however, she was stripped down to "clear" in order to test PRISM. Assuming it dosen't manage to put Barghest in it's place, it's likely she'll never be able to part with Barghest...

PRISM and it's implications

Marzi-Chan is destined to fail horribly at some point, as there's no bugfixing or updating for her. Her coder is long gone, although anyone willing to dig enough to find a dead coding forum will find a clean-slate version of her. There could be any number of Marzi-Chans running around, but none of them are aware of each other, especially since 95% of the subroutines are custom written and the original base dosen't come with a default name. Marzi-Chan is truly alone, and the fact she realizes this is just another sign she's reaching the point of uselessness. Eventually she'll break down and go defunct in a corner of the web somewhere, eventually forgotten and breaking down into a corrupted stream of binary data. She might be able to prevent this by generating enough interest in adaptable core spambots, but she'd much rather not bring attention to the fact given that most consider such programs unstable. Marzi-Chan is one of the most stable adaptive core spambots currently in Maginet 3, and that's saying something.

Hidden away on the site she advertises on a page that isn't accessible by any link on the site is a download for her data and a small file containing her memories. Should someone manage to find it by accident and download it, they'll send out another Marzi, or should the original Marzi be around, potentially make updates for the poor, tired spambot. All it would take is for someone to manually type out a fairly specific link and make a specific typo...

Marzi has close to a Doc Holliday Syndrome thing going on about her impending future, simply wanting to enjoy life as it lasts. She dosen't want to trouble anyone else with her issues, though, and will quickly change the subject if her past is brought up.

Haruka-chan went around buying some things, ignoring the oohs and ahs of her admirers that totally exist, spent some time in her otaku lair, partially upgrading herself back from the data wipe, and partly watching yaoi, and sneaked out to join the others at the Cafe. Not that she did that because of peer pressure. Or anything.
