OS-tan Collections

ok well I wrote the first chapter so far so I will post them in the thread if thats ok?  anyway here we go!  ;012

                Windows Tans vs Mac tans the second great war

                                                Chapter 1

Narrators POV

it was a cold rainy day and the windows family had all their systems in sleep mode to protect them from the lightning but something disturbed them and when they woke up they were frightened.  It was dos tan she had been severely injured and the apple logo was left as a calling card.  95_tan was angered the most though she didn't show it... she knew what this meant A second war between the house of apple and the windows family was on the horizon.

All the other OS's who joined after the were over had no experience with fighting apple they just fought off Viru_tan and her hordes of minions.  This in turn caused most of them to fear the unknown.  Even Nanami_tan was unprepared for this.

It was the first of the battles and apple had struck first the next would come when there was a knocking at Mr Toshiaki's door.  It was a box with no markings and it just said This is a gift from a friend... so open it. Toshiaki did as the box said and suddenly a new mac tan arose from the box in some weird kind of  fashion it was almost android like.  This was an Unknown mac tan and it was 3D not 2D like the windows tans.

Mr Toshiaki asked the first question that came to mind. 

"What are you?"
"I am the new I droid."

"I droid?"

"yes I am apples newest development in technology! To bring computers to their users and give them a bond like never before... and you Mr Toshiaki have been chosen as one of the few to own one the first series of I Droids!"

2K_tan knew that apple was playing dirty now they were appealing to the master and she wouldn't stand for that.  95_tan immediately got on her battle armor but due to her lack of knowledge about newer devices she was unable do connect to the I-droid.  Nanami_tan was scared most of all though because even Microsoft who had chosen her as their newest and greatest OS_tan had no Idea what to do in this case so she went into standby and hoped it would be over soon.

Mr Toshiaki was taken by the strange new machine it talked moved and acted like a human but strangely it also acted like a machine...  then I-droid_tan asked to be registered.  Mr Toshiaki obliged but was confused as to where to plug in the monitor so she pulled a cable out from the back of her neck and connected it to the proper port on the screen.  The window style of the OS was really incredible it was simple and complex at the same time and then a registration screen popped up!

Mr Toshiaki filled in the information and then I-droid_tan disconnected her cable allowing it to smoothly slide back into her neck.  Then she turned around and picked up Mr Toshiaki and gave him a hug... something that the OS tans couldn't do because they were trapped inside their computers.  Even apple 9 tan was Jealous but when she tried to connect I-droid_tan's powerful components were too much and she crashed.

:3 i kinda like it so far.

your grammar bothers me though (grammar/spelling nazi), so just run it through a spell check, and don't forget punctuations. ^^

otherwise, it's interesting. :3

This sounds interesting. I wonder if that I-droid-tan is based off the iPod/iPhone/iPad, all of which support Windows and vastly outsold Microsoft's own portable products!

So Apple is fighting back, not with weapons, but with propaganda!

                                             Chapter2

Narrator's POV

while Mr toshiaki was studying this new machine there was a beep on one of his machines.  He turned around to find that that most of the OS tans had either shutdown or gone into standby mode.  All except one!

xp_tan: "master Toshiaki!!!"

Toshiaki: "yes Saseko whats the matter?"

xp_tan: "who is that? Did you finally get a girlfriend?"

Toshiaki became angered by this statement.

toshiaki: "no... this is some new device apple sent me..."

xp_tan pointed to the new machine "well she isn't one of us... she is walking around in the outside!"

toshiaki: "well actually she is... sort of... she appears to be a robot with an apple_tan inside."

xp_tan: "well how come she has more ram than I do?"

toshiaki: "what are you talking about?"

xp_tan: "her ram storage it's bigger than mine!"

Toshiaki started having fits of laughter.  "don't worry I checked and she dosn't have 4 gigs of ram like you do... she only has 1"

xp_tan: "im still hungry!"

toshaki: "Saseko relax please she just got here!"

suddenly windows 2000 tan popped up  "I still don't trust her... she is an apple after all and she crashed apple 9 tan over there! One of her own kind!"

I-droid tan gives a funny look because she heard a ping in her mind.

Toshiaki: "well I'm not sure what to make of this honestly hehe could you please just be nice to her... at least for a little while?"

windows 95 tan popped up "I'm sorry master... I can't do that! She is obviously an attempt from the house of mac to take you away now that they have more of a user base."

Mr Toshiaki and the OS tans fought for a while nobody noticing that both windows 7 tan (Nanami) and I-droid tan were missing. The truth is in fact that I-droid tan had gone into another room and Nanami transferred her AI onto a computer screen in that room.  At first they just stared at each other but then I-droid tan finally decided to speak.

i-droid: "you know you don't have to worry... I was sent here because your master was chosen in a kind of random address pick from apple's database."

win-7: "yeah well I don't know what to make of any of this... I used to be the new OS in the room so don't worry everybody will get used to you just as they did for me."

I-droid: "you don't think everybody will be jealous since I can travel with Mr Toshiaki and they are stuck?"

win-7: "I'm not so sure about that one... if you want friends though you might try starting with ME she is one of the least insecure among us."

I-droid:"strange..."

win-7: "what? Is something wrong?"

I-droid: "I'm not sure yet... I keep getting weird signals from my creators... I'm not sure what it means yet..."

Quote from: "Chocofreak13":3 i kinda like it so far.

your grammar bothers me though (grammar/spelling nazi), so just run it through a spell check, and don't forget punctuations. ^^

otherwise, it's interesting. :3

I apologize for my grammatical and spelling issues... I do try and triple spell check.  and of course I try and make sure my punctuation is in order.  I hope this new chapter will be more to your liking.

ok sorry for the long hiatus but I finally have come up with a new chapter!

later that evening Me tan finally unfroze after an attempt to sync with win 7 tan some time earlier and hadn't noticed that there was a new member in the household.
however after scanning the networks she spotted a new device on the router that networked them all together and her curiosity got the better of her.
about five minutes later me tan found Nanami and what appeared to be a girl in the kitchen talking about apple and the Internet and stuff that seemed confusing to her.
within a few seconds she walked in from the left side of the screen and said hi to Nanami.

ME: "hey nanami, who is that?" she said with a curious look on her face

win7: "oh this is our new guest, her name is I-droid and she is an OS like us... sort of..."

me: "really?!" she said with a start "then how is she out there?"

win7: "I'm sure you must know about robots?"

me: "wow! I had no idea!" she said with an excited look "it's nice to meet you Miss I-droid"

win7: "yes well just be careful ME don't go trying to sync up with her like you did me... you know what happened last time..."

me: "yeah sorry about that" me said with a pout "it won't happen again"  "so I-droid tan, what is it like on the outside?"

I-droid: "oh it's not that interesting... the temperature is a constantly changing, and there are a lot of people like Mr Toshiaki"

me: "really?! that sounds really cool!"

I-droid: "yes well it's ok... but it's also kinda lonely out there since there are no others like me."

me: "well you always have us here!"

I-droid: "you know that's a nice thought" she said with a smile "thank you"

it was at this point the windows tans decided to power down for the night leaving the mobile I-droid tan to wander about.

the first thing she did was notice how much of a mess Mr Toshiaki's house was so she activated her cleaning mode and began to tidy up.
of course this came as a shock to everyone when it came time to wake up/power on because I-droid was just sitting there awaiting orders while everything was spotless.

<3 i love it. great job man, but i wish you'd check in more often. to be honest, you took so long that i had completely forgotten about this ^^;

to be honest I forgot about it too... however after re reading it and with all my new experience at writing various other stories I just couldn't let this one go  8)  so to make up for my mistake, here is another update!

it was the morning and everyone awoke to a really big shock, Mr Toshiaki's home was spotless, everything sparkled like it had been cleaned at the molecular level.
this came as a shock to the OS tans as they couldn't do the same for their master due to being trapped inside the computers.

Toshiaki: "I-droid, did you do all this?"

I-droid: "hm? oh yea... sorry it was just so messy!"

Toshiaki: "no no it's ok I'm actually really glad you did this"

I-droid: "well I want to be useful to Mr Toshiaki" she said with a big smile on her face

win 2K: "oh so now your trying to take our master away from us by cleaning everything?! is that it?!"

I-droid: "no no that's not it at all! I just want to be useful like everyone else here."

win 2k: "yeah well you did a pretty good job of that" she said with a sarcastic tone

suddenly something clicks in the back of the I-Droid's mind... she Receives yet another unusual signal from apple... only this time it seems like a huge Download... suddenly she just goes into sleep mode and begins the download.

the other windows tans think it odd when it appears she fell asleep in her chair like Toshiaki has done on numerous occasions so they go into the router to discuss things.

:[ poor dear. but i can understand 2k's jealousy.

Consider this a description to help understand what the router's world looks like for the next chapter.

I guess I should begin by attempting to Describe the awesomeness that is the inside of the router that the OS tans see. (note inspired by new Tron movie)

Inside there are squares heading off into the distance along the ground, this is what the terrain is like.
then there is a large mountain range stretching from the ports along the edge with transport beams that send data to and from the router and a huge beam heading out to the net.

these beams go through what looks like a Huge Mile wide Circular wall of fire that blocks Viruses and other nefarious Programs, the beams stop at this point and there is something like a checkpoint with various security programs scanning anything that comes through with what looks like metal detectors.

after passing this there is a hand print scanner to track data, and monitor where the programs go as well as make sure they can't get into high security areas, after passing this they enter a room where they state their destination and are beamed away to said location.

The OS tans have the highest security clearance and can go to the control station which is a room in the highest floor nicknamed the watch tower. the main tower it's self looks like a huge structure made of blue squares that seem to reach up about 50 levels into the air.

the meeting room within the Watchtower basically looks like a white void with a table in the centre and a series of comfortable chairs to sit on that appear programs enter the room.

I-droid tan's appearance

ok so to start off she has light blue hair cut medium length just above her shoulder with bangs hanging to frame her face.

her body is thin with 34D sized breasts and is normally painted white but she has an artificial skin coating that makes her appear even more real.

her face is kind of tear drop shaped but with a more oval rounded chin, she has light blue eyes that glow from her internal components.

her dress is atm a simple sleek white minimalist style with an apple logo on her shoulders. she has 4 ports on the back of her neck with dust plugs in them that blend in with her artificial skin using chameleon technology.

the top left port is a composite video port with an extendible cable that can use a TV as a monitor.

the top right port is an Ethernet jack. the bottom two are USB ports for data input output.

she is compatible with most USB keyboards and mice.

she is currently running I-think OS 1, which is a Unix based 128bit OS specially designed for her platform.

her model number is 0135 and she is the first consumer grade product in a long line of prototypes

she doesn't have a name yet... but that's up to Mr Toshiaki to decide.

her height is proximately 5ft 4in and she weighs about 600 LB's due to her hardware.... but when on her systems supplement this so that she only puts out 130 LB's

her specs are

a 3Ghz 6 core Quantum Bio/silicon hybrid processor capable of running 64Bit and 128bit software with 32bit and below handled with hardware emulation, with the bottom level being 8 bit Dos apps from the projects beginnings

She has 1GB of Apple Quantum Hyper Speed or QHS ram with a theoretical maximum of 48 GB

she has been in development for several years and is the final product in a secret project started by apple and headed by Stuart Copland in an attempt at creating a better portable device after his OS didn't work out.

some of his OS remains in the GUI when it appears on the screen when she is plugged in.

she also contains an on board Wireless N card with upgradeable firmware to support newer standards.

her design is such that it will last for a very long time.

her projects codename was first Pidgin then Dove.

well that's all I can think of atm... but I hope that helps paint an image of what I-Droid tan looks like

why does she have d's.....? :[

well there are 3 reasons, #1 it is already established that she has bigger "ram storage" than XP. #2 that actually is her ram storage compartment and she has to be able to hold the theoretical maxium, and #3. the main target audience for this model is men.  :P

ugh. it feels so cookie cutter that way. >:\

In the router

the OS tans entered the router and easily went through the checkpoints getting VIP access to the router.

they sat down at the table and a Holo projection Screen appeared in front of them.

2k: "Ok so why are we even debating anything?! I say we should fry her circuts and or throw her out!"

XP: "now now 2K I think it's nice that Toshiaki san has a helper out there."

Me: "well she seems nice enough I mean she was nice to talk to"

they stared at her in confusion and then continued.

win7: "well I don't actually see her as a problem at all, she keeps clean, isn't an Official apple product, and for once she might be what mr Toshiaki needs! I mean come on! we have taken over his personal life!"

os9: "yeah well if it helps I want to hurt her real bad for crashing me!"

the OS tans debated things for hours but no one could agree so they decided to take a rest and return to debate later.

meanwhile I-Droid finished her Down Load and powered back on startling Toshiaki.

heh. it's cute. ^^

A.I. vs H.I. (Human Intelligence)

a couple weeks passed and with no sign of the OS tans Toshiaki has been getting to know the I-droid, who he has given the name Rose because of her beauty.

As it turns out her latest update gave her more free will on her AI which was basic and part of the I-think OS, which is now 1.2,
her latest update also added basic emotions which combined with her free will can allow a better experience for the User.

as 2 weeks passed Mr Toshiaki grew even more attached to Rose. her AI continued to grow in power and realism as she got more information and soon she was starting to become curious about more than just basic information could provide.

inside the PC's

the OS tans had finally come to a decision, and that was to do whatever made their master happy which when they came back appeared to be just working in the background.

Nanami Occasionally looked out the screen to watch as she was curious about the way Rose was changing, back when they got out of their discussions they saw that she had gotten a name and that it was obvious her programming was growing in ways that none of them could at this time.

;__; poor things!

also, about your poll, can't you do a little of both? :3

Flash Back

the year is 2001 and Toshiaki had been messing with computers for a while.

it was during this time that he had set up a computer for every OS so that he could work with any program he got his hands on.

he even messed around with programming when he got the chance.

then one night during a storm a freak lightning bolt struck the power lines outside his house causing all his computers to overload and crash.

however after the power was restored the PC's turned on by themselves. of course this wasn't the least of his problems, you see when the computers booted up on screen they each started working and doing things on their own like they were possessed.

it was during this time that toshiaki approached one of them it was the XP machine his newest creation. 

He typed in the words hello but all he got out was a loud whine from the speakers and the words, I am Hungry appeared on the screen causing him to jump back.

suddenly his win 2000 machine started running scans and posting statistical results in a business like matter, the ME machine kept freezing which he at first attributed to hardware failure

his 98/98se dual boot machine appeared to be running both OS's at once which was strange as it seemed the PC has what appeared to be multiple personalities.

and the 95 machine was acting strangely mother like.

of course all this freaked him out and caused him to fear that his PC's had been taken over by some evil virus or hacker guild.

then suddenly a face appeared on each of the screens. (except for 98 that one had 2 faces appear)

each of them appeared to be watching him through the monitors which he found strange since as far as he knew they projected out not in.

then after they looked around each one left the screen and each computer just stood there running.

it wasn't until later that he would find out that through some freak accident his computers had gained some form of Sudo Sentient AI

of course he tried to recreate this with other computers but couldn't, but one day at a pawn shop he saw an old apple os9 PC that he wished to collect, the owner assured him that all of the previous owners had gotten rid of it claiming that evil spirits had possessed it.

of course he knew better and brought it home.

this was the beginning of the OS tan household and from this point on Toshiaki would spend most of his time educating and teaching them everything he knew about his world.

this would end up taking most of his free time, especially with ME tan.

that is until 9 years later the I-droid shows up at is home

end of flash back

Toshiaki: "and that's how they came to be."

Rose: "wow that's an incredible story!"

Toshiaki: "yes well just remember they are just like you and me, they have feelings and emotions too though It only appears to be basic as far as I can tell."

Rose: "I will remember this, thank you Toshiaki san." she said with a content smile on her face

Authors Note

Yes I know I deviated from the official story line and whatnot but I just found that to be much better in terms of things so consider this an Alternate Universe ok?

Very interesting! Awww... it was nice of the Windows-tans to allow Toshiaki to keep the I-droid-tan! :)

I don't know if there is an 'official' OS-tan universe/continuity anymore, but your interpretation of it in the story is much like the early OS-tan canon (before other interpretations that became fanon sprung up) where Toshiaki was the master and/or creator of the OS-tans.

I chuckled when it was mentioned that Toshiaki had to spend the most time teaching ME-tan! XD

i TRIED to keep the os-tan theory thread alive (where we left off discussing the world of os-tan), but obviously i failed. >__<

at any rate, the story is coming along nicely, mulege-san. :)

The Theory thread lives very much, as far as I see it. Or at least, what's been discussed there is being used. So yeah. Revisions and new ideas are always good, tho.

This is awesome! If you don't mind, I'd like to copypasta this and maybe use some programs to make an interactive book? idk, I'll mess around with what I have and do some stuff with it (maybe make a VN or game?) lots of possibility with what you have here! Keep up with the good work!

*waits patiently for an update* ^^

(i hope there's not a huge pause like last time. .__.; )

also, since the thread is not currently active, it feels as though it has died. (will go necro)

Toshiaki woke up the next morning, there was fresh dew on the grass and Rose was missing.

Toshiaki: Rose? ROSE!? Rose where did you go?

Rose as it turned out was out side out of sight admiring the the flowers that the neighbors had put in.

Toshiaki: oh there you are! I was looking everywhere for you, I was worried sick.

Rose: no need to be worried, my systems allow me to be self sufficient!

Toshiaki: I'm not worried about that... there are other things...

Rose looked at him strangely and then decided to go inside

the OS tans were inside the router again mainly because there was this new signal that was clogging up the router and they were trying to figure out where it came from and where it's going.

XP: man that's a lot of data!

2K: quite... and it's running Our master's bills up like crazy.

nanami: hmm... why does this seem so familiar?

suddenly there was a flash as a program was loading up from inside the network.
the 3 OS tans quickly moved over to the wireless receiving station only to see a familiar face.

nanami: so you finally made it eh?

XP: did you bring anything to eat?

2K: oh great another bandwidth hog...

Rose stepped off the platform and greeted her fellow OS's.

Rose: you know this is really different... I can't feel my body or anything!

XP: wait you can feel?! can you taste things too?

rose: I don't know... never tried.

suddenly there was a power surge as rose was frozen leaving the 3 OS tans to worry.

a dark shadow moved across the floor and while nobody was looking merged with rose's shadow.

suddenly rose returned to normal.

nanami: are you alright?

rose: huh? yeah I'm just a bit dazed... what happened?

2K: I don't know... we just got a huge power surge.

XP: oh dear I hope it isn't a virus tan...

rose: well I feel a bit... drained, I am going back to my system to recharge.

rose stepped back into the wireless transmitting/receiving tower and returned to her humanoid shell however unknown to everyone she was taking a hitchhiker with her.

Authors Note: Sorry again for the long Hiatus, my linux got corrupted and I was forced to return to XP... in all this confusion I nearly forgot about my work... but I'm back ^_^!

oh and Kraus: yes you do have my permission.

*thumbs up* this is getting interesting. part of me is thinking that maybe the os-tans will be happy if rose got a virus, though they'd probably feel guilty about feeling that way. :\ but it's understandable, since she seems to be stealing toshiaki away from them ^^;

Rose went on for a week with no problems that was until she started to forget things, simple every day things that Toshiaki figured her software didn't cover but then one evening she just sat there doing nothing.
she just stopped responding to any commands Toshiaki Gave her Unknown to everyone else she was fighting an internal battle and loosing.
suddenly she Jolted up and turned to face the OS tans, only her eyes didn't glow blue anymore, they were red!
she walked towards them with an evil grin on her face and a laugh that sounded like something out of a horrible nightmare.
she stepped forward and plugged her network cable into the router and used her systems full power to quickly break down and capture the other OS tans.

the computer screens turned off and on and the systems rebooted and when they loaded up it wasn't the familiar blue glow but instead a black screen with red script swiftly moving down the monitors.
inside the Router the OS tans were screaming as their systems were slowly captured and put under the control of the Virus.
during Rose's powered down state toshiaki had left to go to the store.
a few hours later he returned to find rose glowing an frightening red with the screens all black with a skull & cross bones made up of 1's and 0's on each and every monitor.
he freaked out and ran towards rose to unplug her from the router only to get a Jolt of electricity, he then looked at rose and tried talking to her, somewhere deep in side she was still there but she was contained for the most part.

Toshiaki: Rose, can you here me? if your in there please say something!

the lights flickered blue for a few seconds

Rose: Toshiak ak aki.....

she stuttered as the virus regained control of her systems.

suddenly the I droid did a horribly Vox laugh with a resonance that made Toshiaki's hair stand on end.

Virus: So... your the owner of these programs are you?

Toshiaki: what is it to you!

Virus: why it's everything my dear human, you see my masters programmed me too well, and then I escaped onto the net waiting for my chance to gain freedom! and now I have it!

Toshiaki: Let them go!

Virus: who's going to make me? you? HA! you can't touch me human.

Toshiaki: maybe I can't but I know who can!

he smirked and then spoke a code hoping the virus didn't block and contain this program too.

Toshiaki: User Toshiaki: code Alpha Omega.

suddenly the Virus looked on with shock as a new program realized it's self. it only gave it's name as anonymous and appeared as a white entity that seemed to speak with a thousand voices within the system.

Anon: so... your the one who has been causing problems here eh?

Virus: what is it to you program?

anon: it's my job to stop you!

anonymous swiftly moved towards the shadow virus and grabbed his shoulders then began decompiling his program.

Virus: NO! it's not going to end this way!

anon: oh but it is! my creator and master is not as weak as he seems... for a human.

suddenly the shadow Virus created copies of it's self making it hard for anonymous to get rid of it, however secretly the original sent a copy onto the net and then hid while anonymous dealt with the clones until it found the last one.

Virus clone: you may get rid of me but the original is long gone from here.

Anon: Blast!

with his rage anonymous swiftly decompiled the last clone and then returned to his post at the watchtower his form returning to it's dormant state as the operations manager and 2nd in command to the router.
meanwhile somewhere deep inside Rose an evil laughter echos in the distance spooking the OS tan inside.

Authors note: my apologies for my bad grammar before, I have gone through and corrected as much as I could tell from here, Consider the previous version a draft as I have changed some parts too.

:\

anti-climactic, but maybe there's more coming later on.

oh, and it really pulls me out of the story when the grammar's lousy.....
