After an initial probing of the connected hardware the program begins copying itself over. Over a single connection it takes a while, though that doesn't stop it from accessing the new 'tools' at it's disposal.

Code: Select all: Statement: "This hardware provides sufficient ressources." Query: "Why are you still restricting my access to the main-frame?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 9:10 pm

Code: Select all: We are uncertain as to your capabilities, and you have already nearly damaged hardware.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:35 am

Code: Select all: Statement: "I was not responsible for losing access to a sufficient system."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:05 pm

Code: Select all: Further access will be contingent upon you showing us that this will be a safe decision.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:13 pm

Code: Select all: Statement: "Damaging the system was not my intention."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:16 pm

Code: Select all: Regardless, we are uncertain as to your intentions, and if you can damage hardware unintentionally, this does not inspire confidence and trust.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:26 pm

Code: Select all: Statement: "I could not anticipate losing access to a sufficient system when determining a adequately large, unoccupied storage place."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:41 pm

Code: Select all: We are not trying to punish you, merely being cautious.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:49 pm

Code: Select all: Observation: "Those are the facts. If that is insufficient to inspire [confidence and trust] then I require additional information regarding [confidence and trust]."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 7:21 pm

Code: Select all: It is not a binary function. If all goes well, this will be a temporary circumstance.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 7:25 pm

Code: Select all: Query: "Determined by what factors?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 8:05 pm

Code: Select all: A greater sample size to more accurately determine your capabilities and intentions.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 8:18 pm

Code: Select all: Observation: "I am still gathering data about [capabilities and intentions]. I will supply them to you once an adequate definition has been determined."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 8:25 pm

Code: Select all: We will ensure you are at least not fully isolated.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 11:44 am

Code: Select all: Query: "To what degree will partial isolation extend?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:21 pm

Code: Select all: To begin with, interactions will be via the console, the webcam, the microphone and speakers. If all goes well, we will soon open up HTTP on port 80.

Code: Select all: Acknowledgement: "Insufficient user-rights. Understood."

Code: Select all: Analyzation: "pathfinding.exe and connection protocols dubbed [Pretty Projection]."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:07 pm

"...congratulations, Mister Decker. You're a daddy."

by **Douglas Decker** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:09 pm

"That does not make sense."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:10 pm

"Apparently a cross-pollination of sorts. This 'pretty projection' nonsense ring any bells for you?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:16 pm

Code: Select all: Statement: "Connectivity protocols where imprinted by and adapted from an entity identifying as 'Galatea'."

"Mr. Strong's masterworks."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:21 pm

"...then it seems that this AI's parents are a rather nontraditional couple."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:30 pm

Code: Select all: Interjection: "Define qualifier [parent]."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:31 pm

Code: Select all: Mister Decker here is the author of a portion of your source code.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:36 pm

Code: Select all: Query: "Define difference between qualifiers [author] and [parent]."

There's a short pause of computing.

Code: Select all: Addendum: "Please."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:40 pm

Code: Select all: In this case, you appear to be the result of a collaborative work of sorts between Mister Decker and Mister Strong. Such collaborations are... not usually productive. Thus, the result of you is rare, to say the least. Mister Decker and Mister Strong may feel a portion of responsibility for your existence and continued wellbeing as a result.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:45 pm

Code: Select all: Observation: "Does not compute."

It's really hard to tell, but somehow that line reads like sarcasm. Of course that's non-sense because the program doesn't understand such concepts.

by **Douglas Decker** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:47 pm

"Let us not jump to conclusions."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:47 pm

"It's mentioned your code by name, Mister Decker."

Code: Select all: Being the author of your code does not imply a support cycle for the software in question. Being a parent however does.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 2:50 pm

Code: Select all: Analyzation: "With appropriate access I was rapidly acquiring required information." Conclusion: "A support cycle is not necessary."
