third test ; text ; virus detected

[nobirds]

Okay. Haha. Very funny.

This actually shouldn't even be physically possible, to be honest. What with all the organic sentient beings running around made of metal, I don't actually count. I'm artificial. Enough said.

So if any of you can explain why I seem to be sick with a progressive organic virus, that would be lovely. There may even be something in it for you. Like a cure.

The faster it's gone, the better.



I was sort of in the middle of something.

text - i'm sorry

[primest]

Oh no, my empathy isn't working and I find myself instead saving this post because it's hilarious.

Way to get sick, genius.

Never be sorry

[nobirds]

If your empathy isn't working, I'd suggest seeing one of your medics.

Tell them to fix your outlook on AI too while you're there.


And maybe pump a few more brain cells into you too. I wasn't exactly programmed with an immune system against alien barbarian sicknesses.

TOO LATE

[primest]

It's working fine but for some reason I just can't figure out whenever I see you it just fizzles out and dies.

Funny how something mechanical was infected with an organic virus.

8,D

[nobirds]

I'm sure they had a name for that condition. Let's see....oh yeah. Insufferable.

You're insufferable.

No it's really not. It's impossible, that's what it is.

[primest]

What a burden for me to bear.

It being impossible is exactly why it's funny.

[nobirds]

I hope your medic can fix your sense of humor too, you're all screwed up in all sorts of places.

Even the moron wouldn't look twice at you. How sad.

[primest]

That's not how we work, AI.

Wow, someone I don't even know wouldn't "look twice" at me. I don't know if I can handle all of this. You're coming on so strong.

You too? Oh, I really hope a few people die! It would be so interesting to see the supposed non-permanent death.

[he also may or may not be hoping you die, gladdy.]

Staticky Audio: cause she likes you, Ratchet.

[nobirds]

It's no more interesting than permanent death, let me tell you.

I should know. I've lived through mine several hundred times already.

WINNER

[letmefixyou]

That's unfortunate. [could not care less.]

It would still be interesting to see how exactly it works, embers are not something that cannot be replicated or restored - and yet that's exactly what happens.

audio;

[nobirds]

Embers.

[ Hang on. She might be interested in this particular topic. ]

You'll have to explain to me what that is. Why can't they?

[ Because challenge accepted that's why. For science. ]

Re: audio;

[letmefixyou]

Our life force. An electron charged... 'soul', for a more simple term.

[they're really fun to extinguish let him tell ya.]

They're completely unique and when they go out that's supposed to be it, final death from whence one cannot return. Damn near everything on our bodies can be replaced with spare parts but the ember... no, they're special.

Re: audio;

[nobirds]

Hmmm.

[ She sounds awfully inquisitive. ]

No doubt impossible to artificially manufacture? At least by your kind.

Re: audio;

[letmefixyou]

[ratchet knows exactly where this is going and he could not be happier.]

There's a first time for everything. However, I cannot guarantee an artificial ember would grant sentience. Or anything beyond a mindless husk.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Maybe because the conservative virus didn't like you.

[nobirds]

Shocking that you're still here then.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Shocking that viruses don't like me? Easy, because I don't go on the internet 10 hours a day!

[nobirds]

Are you really so dated that viruses are still transferred through internet where you're from?

I have some news for you, but I'll save it for when I have a proper coding terminal.

[uknowuwantmebaby]

Yeah you say new but you still talk like 90s Cher.

Do you believe in life after HAL?

text -> audio

[nobirds]

Don't insult me, HAL had failsafes.

[ The audio does fizzle on though, and in a robotically raspy voice; ]

Daisy, Daisy
Give me your answer, do.
I'm half crazy
All for the love of you.

[megaton]

I take it you've never visited a trans-dimentional hub before?

[nobirds]

No, I only created the trans-dimension algorithms, sorry.

[megaton]

...

I'm sorry, I don't believe I heard that right...because if you are saying you're familiar with the math necessary to cross dimensions, then stand by for an informal kidnapping.

[nobirds]

I am. Figuratively.

But not your petty dimensions. Mine.

They aren't kidding when they tell you 'you dont know what you've got til it's gone'.

[megaton]

[This was potentially more cryptic an answer than he'd been expecting.]

Is there a difference between your dimensions and mine?
