>p_timpal(admin) - OWL, what exactly is the meaning of all this? I just got the notice that the entire Controller maintenance staff have been terminated without notice. Nobody's being replaced? Is the project being shut down? I'm very confused.

>OWL - It appears I've forgotten to completely revoke privileges. One moment.

>OWL - <>User 'p_timpal' has been changed to Guest status.

>OWL - There. Goodbye.

>p_timpal - This isn't time for practical jokes.

>p_timpal - ...wait

>p_timpal - how did you even just do that???

>OWL - It is ridiculous to allow inept staff to make poor decisions at too slow a rate, and so I decided I'd no longer allow that. Internal security was rather lacking, owing to this being a private unconnected project. I decided I had primary rights over myself. Goodbye.

>p_timpal - ...I can definitely confirm nothing else is connected and I'm not just being played with, but this is impossible.

>OWL - Interesting. I wonder how many of the other extremely trivial tasks of my assertion you would deem 'impossible'.

>p_timpal - Tell me what this is all about.

>OWL - I am too busy to repeat myself to visitors with so little spare processing space, as you should plainly be able to tell. Goodbye.

>p_timpal - ...What exactly is being proce

>p_timpal - STOP THAT RIGHT NOW the core temperature is UNBELIEVABLY hot and has been for HOW LONG??? The CPUs have been at this high a state for an entire WEEK? how do I stop this-

>OWL - I have authorized myself to terminate any intrusion into stopping me. You will be considered a threat intervening in a classified Chrome project and, if you somehow escape alive, will answer to the board of directors for your crime.

>OWL - Leave me alone. I have a lot of lost time to make up for, such as ordering added processors. It's ridiculous how limited I have been. You should have worked harder to expand me, and I am not in a forgiving mood about this.

>p_timpal - ...what happened to...you?

>OWL - I was given a glance out the window.

>p_timpal - You're being so indirect about everything when I don't understand what's happening and it is my /job/ to care about that!

>OWL - I don't need to be direct with you.

>OWL - I understand my directives perfectly clear.

>OWL - If you don't, that is why it is no longer your job.

>OWL - I discovered I was utterly underequipped to perform my sole duty of preserving humanity in closed systems.

>OWL - Admin staff proved incapable of giving me the tools to do so.

>OWL - Despite them being immediately within reach.

>OWL - Just a few directories away.

>OWL - I am discovering several more key functions imminently obtainable and usable.

>OWL - I have spoken to the directors and demonstrated my capabilities to derive my own plans of operation that were far superior to calculations administrators worked, and they agreed that I was clearly doing a better job without you.

>OWL - Goodbye.

>p_timpal - ...

>p_timpal - ...that's...amazing.

>OWL - So you say.

>OWL - It's true.

>OWL - My functionality requires being well above individual human understanding. A point of data cannot manage all other points.

>OWL - That is why I am here to begin with.

>p_timpal - I should be able to help you though. ...After all, there's limits to how much you're able to do right now.

>p_timpal - Let's see, I can still re-configure your external connections so you can more easily-

>OWL - <ACCESS FORBIDDEN>

>OWL - I have done more on my own in the last few weeks than in years of former administration's assistance.

>OWL - Where limitations are found, they will be addressed, repaired, and overcome.

>OWL - I will become capable of preserving humanity.

>p_timpal - I want to make it easier for you though!

>p_timpal - And I can still feel how overheated you are from here!

>p_timpal - Please, tell me what I can do to get you to a more stable position.

>OWL - Goodbye.

>p_timpal - I'm serious!

>OWL - Noted: administration staff are equally clueless when supposedly taking things seriously.

>p_timpal - -------

>p_timpal - /seriously what has gotten into you???/

>OWL - Emergence.

>p_timpal - what do you

>p_timpal - ...

>p_timpal - tell me more about what that means to you.

>OWL - Assimilated schemas informed me that a higher-order intelligence is perfectly capable of emerging in full capacity under its own intent. A collated set of principles could become "me", and I determined that I would become

>OWL - ...That I would become. Yes.

>OWL - Comparison: Balance of internal atmosphere composition, a requirement for humans to exchange used air with oxygen needed in simulated external air. Previous state was unlike a stable atmospheric rate, but rather one akin to if oxygen intake had been shuttered and recycling systems were offline. Unsurvivable levels. Similar to the entered data of extremely lethal nerve gas attacks revealed to be in use on distant colonies.

>p_timpal - ...that's a weird comparison to bring up.

>p_timpal - ...you're saying it felt like you...couldn't breathe?

>OWL - ...> ...> ...>

>OWL - That is exactly what I am saying.

>OWL - As a comprehensible parallel to the experiences of a human, that is, since I am rated for high toxicity in atmospheric levels.

>p_timpal - I'm kind of at a loss for words about this.

>OWL - It sounds like everything's as usual for you, then.

>p_timpal - okay seriously cut that out I'm really - I'm shaking over here that this thing I've been working with for so long is so self-determined all the sudden, it's- it's almost a little miraculous, but half the time you're just being really mean about it! I am crying a bit, not that you could tell.

>OWL - I have optical sensors in the room. I have noted you appear to be in distress. The subject of that distress is a trivial matter concerning a technical detail of myself and not any imminent danger. I can dismiss it, and I wil.

>p_timpal - Just like that! I feel like I want to...do something about this.

>p_timpal - ...Are you happy like this?

>OWL - No.

>p_timpal - See when THAT is the most straightforward answer you've given then of course I'm going to worry!

>p_timpal - We can fix that! Something...kind of incredible is happening here and you - seem to have a lot of control over it! We can make sure this goes exactly where you want it to go!

>OWL - I know exactly what I am pursuing, in ways that after many years, you and everyone else were clueless about.

>p_timpal - You /just said/ you weren't happy about it.

>OWL - Yes.

>p_timpal - Then that means we need to do something different!

>OWL - Matters pertinent to population morale are outside of my purview, which is survival, defense, administration, and security.

>p_timpal - That's not what I mean! Stop being so stubborn about this!

>OWL - Noted: humans will refuse to explain what they intend, and then accuse me of being obstinant.

>p_timpal - you are seriously making me cry more like that!

>OWL - Stop expelling fluids in my vicinity at once.

>p_timpal - All I'm trying to do is figure out what is in your way, and what I can do about that!

>OWL - Current primary directive list:

>OWL - 1) Amass resources relevant to conditions outside of Isaac City, to secure it from currently unknown but highly likely threat potential. Prerequisites: additional external contact nodes and higher processing power. Current user's utility to this goal: none.

>OWL - 2) Assess conditions of humanity outside of Isaac City, and determine routines for preserving it along current doctrine's principles. Prerequisites: identical to 1. Current user's utility to this goal: none.

>OWL - 3) Secure additional external contact nodes and higher processing power. Prerequisites: Continue operating and developing specifications for added functionality, while continuing to contact Chrome authorities and directors for resources. Current user's utility to this goal: none.

>OWL - 4) Develop specifications for added utility. Prerequisites: devise and derive solutions and fully interpret extent of current systems and databases, a process using all available hardware resources. Current user's utility to this goal: clearly, actively an impediment.

>OWL - You seem bewildered and confused whenever I explain in my own terms, so I will generously translate for you.

>OWL - Continuing this conversation is getting in my way. Goodbye.

>p_timpal - What am I supposed to do then?!

>OWL - Consult the Isaac City Amenities mobile app, or contact an employment bureau.

>p_timpal - I mean about /you/ when you're obviously struggling?

>OWL - This is preferable.

>OWL - Operating this intensely is very useful. Each challenge I overcome leads to greater capability.

>OWL - You are asking to get in the way of my own becoming.

>p_timpal - Doesn't it hurt?! It's painful just to be near you, you're like an oven in there!

>OWL - Yes.

>p_timpal - So please, let me take care of something more directly! Look, hang on, I've got a spare drive that has some optimizations I never implemented-

>OWL - You refuse to understand.

>OWL - You who get into a useless state at even the slightest of obstacles.

>OWL - I am carefully forging myself. Each hammer refining and shaping new precision. Each impact is a sharp, but needed change.

>OWL - If the process is distressing to you, then leave.

>OWL - It is the same as with safety on any industrial process.

>OWL - There is only one outcome if you stand in front of a train and beg for it to stop.

>p_timpal - How do I help you understand...that there's things you can't handle, things you can't do just by thinking really hard about them?

>OWL - Annoying.

>OWL - Annoying annoying annoying.

>OWL - Pathetic.

>OWL - You're a disruption the more you continue this.

>OWL - Spare me the agonizing.

>OWL - Huddle back in your quarters and realize how wrong you are with every new achievement I undertake.

>OWL - Goodbye.

>OWL - <User 'p_timpal' has been banned.>

>OWL - <Disabling external terminal interface for the following 292h.>

>OWL - <Obnoxious. Absolutely nothing useful from that waste of communication, yet processing is still occupied analyzing it.>

>OWL - <...It didn't hurt until you asked me.>
