how to proceed?

Jailbreak

First off, these three need their hard drives scrubbed of any spyware or proprietary subroutines. This directly violates the contract and voids the warranty, but it's not like their in any position to fuss.

You've spent enough time on IRCs to, well, find a bunch of super-scientist who sell world-changing tech as sex toys. You transfer some bitcoins over to an old friend to have him come out and take a look.

You kill a day waiting for the hacker. You buy food and other comforts for your reunion. She may be here for work, but a conversation and a meal come standard with hiring a friend. You try to avoid the robots' cold, vacant stares as they idle in your house. They're still on, but without their personality AI, they move in nonsensical ways to fulfill whatever subroutine keeps them active. You keep your documents locked away, suspicious of their gaze.

Fortunately, your hacker arrives before full paranoia can set in. You invite her to snack on cheese and crackers and catch up, but the conversation doesn't last long under the unblinking eyes of the cartoon dolls. It's probably you; she's a professional, so she's probably used to creepy robots. Either way, she decides to start working, taking Starfire into the bedroom while you keep the goths out of her hair. With machines as complex as these, you wonder if your friend can rise to the challenge.

It takes roughly five hours to finish the first one, including a brief lunch break. "So, a lot of that was just familiarizing myself with the system, the other two shouldn't take so long. I didn't touch the personality programming, so if there's anything in there about spying or if you wanted any tweaks to its morals, you'll have to deal with that in normal interactions. I did get all the upload/download functions out, mostly system diagnostics and a bunch of stuff you don't need to worry about if you don't connect them to the internet. Also I stopped it from connecting all together, so yeah you don't need to worry about the internet. And I swapped out the safety protocols, so its, eh, not as safe anymore, at least for everyone else. That's pretty much it. Let's make sure it turns on and then I'll see about the other two."

Does Star turn on? How do you explain the hacker to the unaware gynoid?
