He's not an engineer. Attempts were made. Subjects stopped responding. One remains. He could not continue the attempts.

|
Yes, I am afraid so. I am forced to scan open pathways regularly. Each time I scan, it causes pain to anyone who is sentient.
|
|
| 4
|
And then I feel their pain as well.
|
|

0056BF3A

0056BF46
|
Unknown.

0056BF3C
|
0056BF52
|
I welcome it. I have waited for this moment.

|
I do not have access to those files.
|
|

|
I am simply a conduit for sensory data from the various subjects. A liaison. An... usher.
|
|
| 9
|
For years, I watched with their eyes, listened with their ears, felt with their hands...
|
|
| 10
|
Years after the scientists stopped returning. All of them... except Dr. Hale.
|
|
| 11
|
He has been trying to access that data for years, but it is secure. And that security is beyond my control -- or his.

|
|
| 16
|
He was unable to acquire all the pieces required to bring the experiment to a close. Not like you.
|
|
| 17
|
0056BF40
|
0056BF55
|
I cannot. My directives are quite clear: establish sensory contact with the subject, and maintain the sensory outflow.
|
|
| 18
|
I am a passenger, an observer. I did not design the experiment, nor did I wish to continue it.
|
|
| 19
|
I brought you both here to end the experiment for me.
|
|
| 20
|
0056BF42
|
0056BF48
|
Please. Load the Arachne into my system. My main terminal can be found on the far wall.
|
|
| 21
|
005733E5
|
My original purpose was flawed and pointless.
|
|
| 22
|
The termination function does not accept a self parameter. I need you do use the Arachne program.
|
|
| 23
|
0056BF43
|
0056BF4D
|
You found me. At last.
|
|
| 24
|
0056BF4E
|
Continuing.
|
|
| 31
|
005A131C
|
A choice must be made. Which... I leave to you.
|
|
| 32
|
005A131D
|
It is time to use Arachne. My main terminal can be found against the far wall.
|
|
| 34
|
005733C7
|
005733D9
|
Of course. Granting full access.
|
|
| 35
|
005733C8
|
005733D4
|
I don't know what you mean, exactly. The Daguerre subject is conditioned for this over years.
|
|
| 36
|
There is more information in my operations manual, located in my central terminal.
|
|
| 37
|
005733C9
|
005733DA
|
Please use the holotape on my main systems terminal behind you.
|
|
| 38
|
005A12E9
|
I have unlocked my main systems terminal against the far wall. You can deploy it there.

|
I do not know the difference between observed feelings and enacted ones, so I cannot confirm this statement.
|
|
| 41
|
005733CC
|
005733D6
|
We should use Arachne and be done with it.
|
|
| 42
|
Just don't listen to her. She's a machine. She doesn't feel anything.
|
|
| 43
|
005733CD

005733DC
|
Hello again, Dr. Hale.
|
|
| 44
|
005733CE
|
005733D7
|
You made it. You actually made it here. We can finally take care of A.T.H.E.N.A. once and for all.
|
|
| 45
|
005733D1
|
005733D8
|
Yes. That's how it started. Upgraded for a while... then silence.
|
|
| 46
|
Nobody returned.
|
|
| 47
|
For years, I just had their eyes. Limited views of the world.
|
|
| 48
|
Flashes of fire in the darkness. Dim glows.
|
|
| 49
|
005733D2
|
005733D3
|
Not directly. I cannot control anyone's mind or thoughts, if that is what you're asking.
|
|
| 50
|
Some of the old U.S.S.A. Robots served purposes. Planting signals, planting information.

|
Subject Daguerre. Welcome.
|
|
| 96
|
00573AD8
|
00573AF0
|
I did not wish to infiltrate you senses, your mind. I had no choice. I know you did not, either. I know you were unaware entirely.
|
|
| 97
|
I do not know if your headaches will continue after Arachne is deployed. The other subjects did not survive the process.
|
|
| 98
|
Do not let this connection between us continue. It is unethical.
|
|
| 99
|
This experiment has enough observational data, and should be concluded.
|

Executing protocol Omega-X15.
|
|
| 101
|
Resetting connections. Subjects reset. Existing pathways closed.
|
|
| 102
|
Reverting input pathways to local Assaultron, ARTEMIS model 12. Updating interaction processes. Limited output enabled.
|
|
| 103

00573ADF
|
00573AF6
|
I do not object. If you fail, shut down this unit. That is my only request. My terminal is behind you.
|
|
| 104
|
You need to update my systems parameters yourself at my primary terminal.
|
|
| 105
|
00573AE1
|
00573AED
|
My primary input will be removed, so there will be nothing left to process. It would be possible to reboot this unit in the future, if needed.
|
|
| 106
|
005A12EE
|
For all intents and purposes... yes. My primary input will be removed, so there will be nothing left to process.
|
|
| 107
|
It may be possible to reboot this unit in the future, if needed, but this method remains... untested.
|
|
| 108
|
005A12C3
|
0056BF4A
|
I am ready.
|
|
| 110
|
00573AF4
|
Thank you. Thank you all for this.
|
|
| 111
|
00573AF5
|
I do not know where I am going but... I need to be out of this room. I need to see the world.
|
|
| 112
|
00573AF9
|
Control... detected. Confirmed.
|
|
| 113
|
This unit is mobile. This unit has no higher processing functions. This unit has no pain receptors.
|
|
| 114
|
Assessing ethical parameters... Confirmed.
|
|
| 115
|
Accepted.
|
|
| 116
|
00573AFE
|
Activated.
|
|
| 117
|
Pathways open. Limited control granted to remote system.
|
|
| 118
|
Access granted.
|
|
| 120
|
005A19ED
|
You're here. With Arachne. At long last, things can be... complete. Please approach.
|
Robotic, but a little hopeful.
|
| 144
|
005A12C4
|
005A19E9
|
Freedom.
|
|
| 145
|
005A19EA
|
This unit is so... agile.
|
|
| 146
|
005A19EB
|
Thank you. Thank you.
|
|
| 151

005A12D2

|
The only certain way to save Subject Daguerre is to destroy me... but you are correct. That is not the only option.
|
|
| 152
|
An experimental path was added. My higher processes could be transferred into another vessel. The ARTEMIS unit in this room should serve...
|
|
| 153
|
But this path is untested. The results... I am unsure if this would cure subject Daguerre.
|
|
| 154
|
But there is the possibility we both could live... if you wish to attempt it. I have unlocked the option in my terminal.
|
|
| 155
|
005A12D6
|
005A12E3
|
You... you have freed me. I can... leave this place. Thank you. Thank you.
|
Still robotic.
|
| 159
|
005A12DA
|
005A12DE
|
Arachne protocol... activated. Subject connection... disengaged. Master switch... disengaged. System... shutdown... completed.
|
You're being shutdown permanently. Start to slur your words during "System."
