Are there any AIs out there who aren't megalomaniacal psychopaths who need to have their power supplies yanked? Sound off; I get the feeling we're gonna want to be working together for the next few days.

The rest of you, will you please please please try to call for help as soon as you even begin to suspect you might need it? The time to deal with

We've only got the one problem child in our house of artificial individuals.

But he's the least of my concerns at the moment. I have some skills beyond toying with the water temperature you might find handy. Need, uh, a hand?

[Alex really doesn't want to hurt Alan's feelings, but...]

I don't think your reaction times are fast enough, especially since you don't have a direct neural interface.

Mm.

How are you at writing firewalls? Might be nice to have someone else guarding the territory I've already taken, and it would free up more of my processing power.

[And you can come do it in Kurzweil where Alex can make sure nothing hurts you. ;A;]

I've been meaning to shop around for one of those, really. [ It'd really change his Kindle experience. ]

Written firewalls. Broken firewalls. Give me the tune and I can play it back to you. Group seven access be damned.

The stressed out xenomorph in my vents might be a hard sell to move, but I can get the household to meet up with you as soon as possible. Myself and the programs I associate with would be more than happy to help.

I'm not qualified to perform the surgery.

You might want to relocate here for the duration. AM's attacking all the station systems, and he's probably going to try to switch off life support.

Noted. But I'm not moving an inch until I can be assured I can still look outside from this sanctuary of your's. I need to find a couple people.

I have the whole Zone, pick a spot.

[popcorngifs]

So you I wouldn't be putting you out if I brought along my literally acidic xenomorph?

audio;

[spacebased]

Acid is much more of a problem for you than it is for me. Should I lay in some laser pointers and jingly balls?

audio;

[popcorngifs]

Everything but my yet-to-evolve-past-acid burns-skin is more than equipped to handle her.

It's a wonder you weren't all eaten by sabertooths.

[Alex is fuzzy on pre-history. And tact.]

audio;

[popcorngifs]

That wonder is your thirty-something million year miscalculation on the evolutionary calender. But I see your gently-worded point. Sort of.

If it happened before 1687, it doesn't count. [The year Newton published the Principia.]

audio;

[popcorngifs]

So New England's inception didn't count? Well, dammit. Guess I have to move the summer home.

I don't really see how you can consider yourself a sentient species if you don't have the calculus, is all I'm saying.

audio;

[popcorngifs]

Well, the universe had to be invented before we could bake apple pies or calculate anything. No point B without the A, is all I'm saying.

You know Carl Sagan?
