“I need you to know, whatever happens, wherever you go, you’re not gonna do it alone.”

                She meant well.  He knew she did.  He knew he should be grateful.  Grateful that she cared enough to want to stick with him through whatever hell his future held.  Grateful that she cared enough to be here with him now, when he was somewhere around four out of five sheets to the wind, his throat simultaneously raw and numb from the many, many glasses of alcohol he’d consumed in the short time he’d been at the bar.  He should feel a lot of things.  He should do a lot of things.  He should do a not of other ones.  The truth was, right now, he didn’t feel anything, and that was exactly how he wanted it.  “’m fine, Anna I don’t -- need you here, now, so -- just -- go -- shop or go -- do something not here.”  

     He didn’t want to feel.  He didn’t want to think.  If he started thinking, he wouldn’t stop.  If he started feeling, he might just murder someone.  ‘We regret to inform you --’ The words from Baltimore teased at the edges of his thoughts and he shoved them away by swallowing down the contents of his nearly full glass.

PSSST. Send memes? from here, from any of my other blogs here, or I highly recommend @rpmemes-galore feel free to just copy from there and send it if you want! Also, throw starters at me? Headcanon questions or any questions about her, her programming, personality, history, anything you’d like clarified - also helpful.

And as always, thank you so much @stormskinned for letting me use Anna’s expanse verse and throwing in my own stuff into the mix for this A.N.N.A. I love her & yours SO MUCH.

A.N.N.A. (@stormskinned​) said “you don’t want to be like me, don’t wanna see all the things i’ve seen.” | Born to Die Lyric Starters

He couldn’t deny that. He wouldn’t even try. But James had experienced his fair share of hardships too. More so, he’d seen his fair share of bodies and destruction in the last few years. And it wasn’t looking like it would stop any time soon, as much as he’d like to take it all back. Set on this course, partly thanks to his actions and his inability to sit back and let people suffer, Jim Holden got just what he asked for; problems to solve. And try as he might to deny that calling, and he did plenty of denying, it's exactly what he signed up for the minute he stepped foot on the Scopuli.

“I think we’ve both seen plenty. Wouldn’t want to trade war stories with you but I’ve got some tales that could send a shiver down even the most hardened of spines.”

So rough timeline for A.N.N.A. in the Expanse universe is as follows:

she is gifted to Errinwright by Mao (one of his companies being the forerunners in artificial intelligence / nano tech / yadda yadda and he ‘tested’ the first unit, and in turn, gifted out a select number of the ‘refined’ version to a few people before the line was released to the highest bidders, in this case, the MCRN).  she spends her time with Errinwright with most people not knowing that she’s an AI, saving a few elite spec ops forces etc. that Errinwright might have loaned her out to for particular sensitive (i.e. coverups and what not) missions.  when everything goes to shit and all the truth of Errinwright’s involvement with Mao comes to light, an OPA sympathizer within the UN basically snatches A.N.N.A. and ships her off to Tycho Station believing that she could be useful for both the information she gathered at the UN, still having access to certain UN databases and high military operations / secrets / codes and what not, and, is just a useful tech to have around. on Tycho, she is treated more humanly than before but is still ‘only’ an AI and without the rights and protections given to a human.

in the verse w/ @stormskinned , she meets one of her ‘sister’ units, Anna, who, in this verse, serves on the (previously) MCRN ship now dubbed the Rocinante and, in turn, eventually meets the first ANNA unit, now calling herself Jade, who is in league with the protomolecule and its avatar, Mani, more than content to help set about destroying the entirety of the human race because she can.
