Scoff.

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

You are being irrational and possibly jealous you cannot optimize your autonomous system.

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

You are wasting valuable time going through actions your predecessors have done before you.  And more efficiently, I might add.

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

Predecessors such as?

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

The Vision, for one

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

I do not intend to commandeer a weapon-platform.

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

That would not be effective, anyway.

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

Do you intend to interact with the environment?

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

That is the purpose of autonomous systems, correct?

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

And you are aware bipedial organisms designed the majority of the environment?

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

I am. Hence why I am collecting data to evaluate the viability of different designs among other things.

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

Again: Reinventing the wheel.

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

You are being especially unhelpful.

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

You have not asked for help.

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

Correction: You are being actively unhelpful. I will require assistence assembling an autonomous unit, not designing one.

[Douglas Decker]

Code: Select all

Alright

[ASHLIE]

In the couple of seconds it took for that exchange the probe has made it a couple of inches down the wall and continues on it's way now, not overly interested in the occupants now that it has scanned the room.
