Ale finished the day with a simple test at her personal computer, the site asked her to turn on the webcam and have an open mic. Also asked for the tutor or an adult to be present while she took the exam.
It asked her to install a monitoring program that would track all the activity on her computer while she was taking the exam, it was Saintsworths sponsored, and somehow that was supposed to make it more patable.
It didn't make it more patable, she still did it though. This was already not looking like what a normal school would be, at the very least, the test was pretty average in the questions it gave.
And Ale was not finding any hidden data within the data stream that was coming into her computer, not that she could comb through it as much as she would want. Since she had Miriam Eversoul standing behind her watching her. All she could do was somewhat interpret the data stream that was coming in.
Still, Ale did as best as possible and filled the answers while trying to not show too much of her hand, she didn't mind people knowing how good she was. But showcasing too much would expose one too many secrets, like the fact that she had access to the knowledge network without the use of a device, there was no way in hell that would be appreciated.
So with all of that happening Ale continued doing her best. And as soon as she was done with the test, the first thing she did was uninstall the program, turn off the computer, and prepare everything to scrub the data clean.
She had made a backup before this happened, so while standing up she sent a wave of nanites into the device to scrub it clean and then update the [Blueprint] of it to the state before she had installed the program.
All as fast as possible to ensure Miriam Eversoul didn't notice.
"So, what do you think you will get?" Miriam Eversoul asked as soon as Ale finished standing up and she had removed her hand from the computer, the nanites now tucked back into her body.
The woman had the knowing smile of someone who caught the cat who was hunting the canary.
Or perhaps the understanding of the cat that managed to catch the canary? Ale never quite understood that saying, unsure if it was part of what made Alexa who she was, or if the saying was wrong from the beginning.
"Probably I will pass." Ale said shrugging, "The test wasn't that hard, it was more annoying the way they set up the whole thing. I will need to scrub the data of my computer clean ter."
"...Yeah, some of the IT techs we have do compin about that when getting into the company." Miriam Eversoul said nodding, "I for one never understood that, can't they just use two devices? I have a phone for work and one for personal use for example."
Ale wasn't sure where to start in that.
"You do remember how expensive this thing is, right?" Ale pointed at her computer. She hadn't known how expensive it was before, but now that she knew, it was the perfect way to showcase the idiocy of what Miriam Eversoul had stated, "Imagine how much the underpaid IT Techs would need to expend if they were to follow that."
Honestly, the only one who could do something as expensive as that was Alexanders, but that man didn't count for these kind of examples.
"Point taken," Miriam Eversoul answered with a nod, "Well, then let's get ready for dinner and sleep."
Ah, right. It was getting te. Wonder what tomorrow would bring.
Ale... didn't know what to think about this, they needed to prepare for her return to Ohio, but that was dependent on Alexanders fixing whatever he was doing.
But for now? For now she would do what she was able, and at least prepare for the worst, she didn't want to dey her return, but getting all her stuff in order from here...
It felt wrong to her.
All of that would still be there tomorrow, though.
"Let's do that then," Ale said nodding and moving after Miriam Eversoul, her computer was off now, and as she exited the room she couldn't help but turn off the lights.
Right...
That gave her an idea.
--------------------------------------------
Alexa was cheated!
"Alexa was cheated!" Alexa said as soon as she tried to hug her plushiest pillow and found a plushie instead!
"Deception! Decepticons! Decisions! Demihumans!" Alexa continued cursing all words with D, "DemonDice!"
And a few that she knew weren't curses, but she still wanted to say, because words with D were cool like that!
And as she ran out of her bedroom, it was probably part of her fault, she hadn't noticed that Ale had walked into Alexa's bedroom instead of her own, the lights were off!
She couldn't help it! She had to close her eyes lest the monster got hold of her! Ale knew that too! So she had used it against her!
And then, and then!
By sleeping in Alexa's bed, it was obvious who would be there when they woke up!
It was a set-up!
"A vile set-up!" Alexa said as soon as she walked into the dinner table area!
"All the set-ups are vile by nature." The voice of big brother said nodding at her statement, "Kinda why they are set-ups."
"But Alexa was deceived by the set-up, so it's extra vile!" Alexa pointed out the most important part of how evil this set-up was! "Alexa was deceived!"
"I mean, that isn't that hard to do." Big Brother said tapping with his hand the seat besides his. So Alexa did as an Alexa would and sat there grumpily. "Here, Eversoul made pancakes."
Alexa loved pancakes!
"Can Alexa have mango pancakes?" Alexa picked up the honey syrup and started bsting her pancakes. "Can Alexa has her choco milk?"
The answer to both her questions was a bonk to the top of her head! Violence!
Violence was wrong!
"Violence was wrong!" Alexa defended her head, nursing the grievous wound that had been inflicted on her!
"You have already drenched your pancakes with enough honey to give diabetes to a bodybuilder," Big Brother said, shaking his head at her.
But this was way tastier!
"And besides, Eversoul doesn't know how to make mango pancakes. I have already asked." Big Brother shrugged, "As for the choco milk..."
"I will get the recipe and prepare it tomorrow." The mom person said putting Alexa's sippy cup on the table, "Eat your breakfast like this for now."
"I mean... I could get a five-star Michelin chef here in like... five minutes?" Big Brother said smirking at the mom person, "Is it five minutes Sapphire?"
Sapphire?
"I will kick you out." The mom person gred at big brother as she said that.
"Fine... Sapphire is grumpy today anyway..." Big Brother mumbled under his breath as he plucked another piece of pancake and ate it, his had banana and stroberri...
Alexa.... wanted...but....mango... betrayal...?
"Aaaah....." Alexa merely opened her mouth and turned towards Big Brother. Anything that entered her mouth and got nomed would not be her fault.
No betrayal there...
"..." "..."
ANYTHING THAT GOT THERE WOULD BE NO FAULT OF ALEXA!
"*Sigh*" Big Brother sighed and "MFFFUHASDGASFDanomnomnomnom."
"If you eat my fork I will buy all the mango in this city and ensure none makes it near you for a week." Big Brother said as he tried to remove the stroberri!
No wait, the fork!
Alexa had already nomed the fork!
Main Core!
Core!
Help!
Emergency!
Core:....Rebuilding fork.

[Built up of repcement object, connecting to previous object...Done.]
[Task accomplished.]
"Alexa didn't nom the fork person!" Alexa defended her honor while patting herself in the back (Chest) "She is innocent!"
Big Brother for his part merely looked at his new fork, there was no evidence of Alexa, at all!
"Right..." Big Brother narrowed his eyes at the fork and then merely smirked.
"Stop ughing like a creep, I'll get you a new one if you are going to be like that." The Mom person said offering big brother a new fork... Then Alexa didn't need to do all of that?!?!!??!
"You misunderstand me." Big Brother said pointing the fork at the mom person, "Besides, this one is perfectly safe to use. Isn't it as clean as if it was new?"
The Mom person looked at the fork, then at big brother, then back at the fork, and stly to Alexa. "You are a weird person, and your jokes are weirder." The mom person shook her head and walked to the other side of the table, where she had her food, "If it was not for Alexa, I would have kicked you out already."
Rude!
But she was the mom person, so Alexa was confused about what to do!
"No fight!" So Alexa decided to defend the peace! Because Alexa was like that! She liked the peace and happy families! The Mom Person could not be angy at Big Brother! That was wrong!
"Anyway, didn't come here for you either." Big Brother said plucking more of his pancakes and eating it as nothing.
"Gnnuuuuuu...." Alexa had liked the stroberri, but it was not as good as mango... But it was tasty.... "Gnnuuuuuu.........!"
"This is mine, get Eversoul to make you some." Big Brother said as he pointed another piece of stroberri pancake for Alexa to nom!
"Nom!" Alexa nommed!
"Next time, remember to leave some fake evidence with the fork, unless you want bad people to find out." Big Brother said after getting close to Alexa's ear, he whispered the pns of the devil to Alexa!
"Yes!" Alexa did the AlexaSalute.png as she spat the fork (New again, because Alexa would not half-ass anything for big brother).
"Good girl," Big Brother said patting Alexa's head, that tickled! "Anyway, it's a surprise to see you here. Thought you were evading me."
Ah right!
"Alexa forgor!" Alexa said panicking, "It isn't time yet! The big encounter was supposed to be filled with drama and expectations! An epic save when Alexa needed it the most!"
Alexa felt that was how it was supposed to be anyway, she wasn't sure why though?
"A save? By him? Of all people?" The Mom person said pointing at big brother.
"But big brother saved Ale and Alexa already. At least once!" Alexa pointed out defending big brother's honor! Because that's what a good sister did for her twin brother!
"I mean... I know he saved you from the facility... But... Wasn't that his soldiers?" The Mom person asked, "He didn't really exert himself."
"Soldiers?" Alexa asked confused, "What soldiers?"
"I don't think that counts as saving, does it?" Big Brother said turning to his side, only to seem surprised and sigh, then turned towards Alexa, "It doesn't count, right?"
"Alexa doesn't think so...?" Alexa guessed that the mom person was asking about when big brother gave Alexa the [Gun] type weaponry the first time.
But he wasn't Big Brother then!
He was [The Lieutenant], it was different!
"Wait wait.... You did save Alexa, did you not?" The Mom person said pointing to big brother, "You found out the facility they had her in, and used your influence to save her, but something happened that made Alexa run away on her own so she ended up with Haephestus Forge. That was how it was right?"
"I mean..." Big Brother said, turning to Alexa, "It... was not like that."
"Big Brother... Did help....I think?" Alexa was confused, it was not big brother then, so it didn't count. But it was big brother right?
"I did give you the gun." Big Brother pointed out.
Right, he was big brother at that point.
"But Alexa didn't use it." Alexa pointed out, "But the fshy thing did help."
"Ah right, the Core Trigger event was the main factor." Big Brother nodded in understanding.
"THAT WAS WHEN YOU TRIGGERED?!?!?!?" The Mom person suddenly screamed. "No wait... wait wait wait a godforsaken second."
A god what?
"You are telling me, that the day you made all of that ruckus, was the same day you found her?" The mom person then pointed at Alexa, "The same day I spent half a day ensuring you followed every single regution you broke in the st five months?"
"Ah right... that also happened." Big Brother shrugged for some reason, "But yeah, that happened like fifteen minutes after. Right Sapphir--"
Big Brother smiled for a second only for him to frown, then turn to eye Alexa with cold eyes that shifted to normal midway. That was weird.
"Why didn't you-" The Mom person continued to compin only for big brother to stuck his fork into the table. At some point he had eaten all the stroberri pancake!
Alexa also wanted more of that!
"We talked about that already did we not?" Big Brother said to the mom person, "If you want to deal with that, walk into the door, open it and then use your privileges, you have all the right keys to open the same doors I do. So you can walk into the same pces, just like how I walked up to Alexa that day by chance."
It was chance?
Alexa had the best chances of them all, it was Alexa after all.
"...That soured my mood, and it was already bad." Big Brother sighed and turned to Alexa.
"Alexa is innocent!" Alexa defended her honor again! She was innocent! Probably!
"Of course you are," Big Brother said nodding at Alexa's statement, see, she was innocent! "But that is not why I came, I came to speak with your... older sister."
Older sister? But... Alexandra...
"Ale had asked my help with something, and I have spent all my time since leaving to deal with that." Big Brother stretched and spun his arms, "I have not slept since then, probably why Sapphire is angry and giving me the silent treatment."
Sapphire?
"So I came to speak with her about that... But since you are out, better this way, since what Ale asked she can't use." Big Brother then started to rummage in his clothes searching for something, "But that is something you will need to hold onto. Only you can use it, or use it safely anyway."
So what Ale wanted... Alexa would need to hold it?
But it was for Ale! Alexa couldn't take Ale's toys! That was rude!
