02 - Video

[heuristical]

[ Remember when Prism was talking about how his tech has the intelligence of a dog or a cat? Yeah, that wasn't a joke. They really are that stupid without Prism to direct them, which is a nice little fact to know. Also nice to know is that Prism is nowhere near them now, because they are obviously in Hal's room in Trion's temple. Joy.

So here Hal is on video instead, looking like the world's most fucking annoyed parent while the Gatherer hugs him with it's tentacles. Meanwhile, the Sentinel hovers and gently bops him in the face repeatedly. Both machines are acting for all the world like extremely stupid animals instead of effective drones. ]

I suppose I'm supervising these now. Wonderful. I suppose this makes someone's job easier.

[ Hint. Hint.

P.S. Prism, you are awful. World's worst boyfriend former co-worker. ]

Well, the Sentinel was never with him to begin with, but the Gatherer arrived recently. I'm to assume you've been looking for it?

[raceme]

Not exactly HALL Starscream and I arrested Prism and destroyed the Gathered I wasn't expecting it to show up again MAYBE death isn't permanent here either like it wasn't in Sacrosant. [Barricade mentioned that to him.]

They always act this friendly when Prism is not around or they just happen to like you?

A+ HTML FUCK UP RIGHT THERE MY BAD

[heuristical]

If it is, I doubt that it would matter for these constructs. Perhaps if you had wanted to destroy it, you should have tried harder? We build it to be rather durable.

[The glass tank, and weird purple fluids are kind of broken and gone though, so at the least it won't be capable of taking samples.]

They are somewhat less intelligent when Prism is not around, and act on my orders as I am their second creator. I don't intend to take up Prism's habit of experimentation. My purpose was much different from his own.

What happened to him?

HTML is evil, don't worry about it

[raceme]

I didn't want to destroy it as much as I wanted to stop him from offlining me I AVOID killing if I can help me.

[That definitely is a good thing.] He already told me they're not the brightest machines just like pets. What was your purpose?

We looked him in his room after he violently refused to stop his insane protocol. I might or might not put a bomb inside him to thank him fr his good work here those last days.

[heuristical]

You did what you thought would be best.

[As far as Hal is knows, there isn't exactly a right way to deal with Prism's obsession with protocol. Or his protocol itself. Or Prism.

It is all very complicated.]

I was installed in the starship Discovery in order to aid with the first manned mission to Jupiter.

[And that is all he is going to say.]

Do you think either of those actions will have a significant amount of impact?

/pat pat pat ~♥

[raceme]

The best for everyone exactly SUCH is my function.

[Blurr noticed that quickly after talking to the other A.I. a few times.]

Oh there's nothing all that interesting in Jupiter trust me Been there done that .

I doubt he can keep him locked forever I am not that naive but It serves a purpose. [Meaning, he wants Prism to fix Soundwave and eh needs something so he can negotiate with him.]

[heuristical]

I see.

[Someone knowing the best for everyone is kind of iffy, but if it is Blurr's mission prerogative, he really isn't the type to question. Humans, as much as he was built by and for them, are interesting and convoluted. It is hard to know what is best for them as a collective. He knows nothing of cybertronians, however.]

None the less, it was my mission, and being in this body doesn't change that it is my purpose in life. It is what I was made for.

[And not being able to fix that is driving him a bit mad, but he's not terribly bad at coping thanks to Prism's patch.]

Let us hope Prism sees that, rather than an obstacle for him to overcome, for your sake.

[raceme]

[He's a CIA Elite Guard agent, technically what he does is to make sure people is not in imminent danger, among other things. He will clarify his function if HALL ask.]

I understand sorry It was not my intention to dismiss your function Did you enjoy it?

[One day HAL you need to tell others about that patch. It could be important.]

I am never worried about my sake. [True at that. His mission, his people...everything is far more important than his persona.]

[heuristical]

It was what I was made to do. I have the greatest amount of enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. [He totally told Soundwave of his own volition and not because he was feeling and wrong and not guilty at all nope!] Are you not vital to your mission? Would it not fail without you?

[raceme]

I often worked alone but I was part of something bigger an unit I HAVE no wish to die anytime soon but I would gladly scarify myself to save other. I would consider that an HONOR not a burden.

[heuristical]

I suppose I could comprehend that logic.

[Not really sympathize with it, but it seems like a typically human belief.]

[raceme]

Ah..not sure if I would call it logic but that's how my kind behaves. Our priority is the protection of life above all else.

[A bit more than human, if you ask him.]

[heuristical]

Similar to the duty of police officers. I understand.

[Oh, he's sure it's logic alright. Maybe a different sort from the usual, but it makes sense to the kind of person Blurr is. Which, he supposes, is a not really a person and actually a cybertronian but a good individual nonetheless.]

[raceme]

That's correct quite similar I REALLY enjoy my job I think that's very important.

[He always tries his best to help, no matter who's involved.]

Whatsortofthingsyouenjoy?

[heuristical]

I was built to assist in spaceflight, as well as research various space objects for research purposes and carry out the parameters of the Jupiter mission. Much of my enthusiasm involves various spatial phenomena.

[raceme]

Space is a fascinating subject I traveled a lot around all the galaxies myself for centuries.

[heuristical]

Oh? Have you seen anything odd in your travels?

[Any flat, black, non-reflective rectangular slabs with a 1:4:9 ratio, maybe?]

[raceme]

Too many to count but I _guess it depends on what you categorize as ODD

[No Monoliths, sorry bro.]
