ITP: HAL is a jerk and tags are still broken

[im_sorry_dave]

[Have a video. Except instead of an actual video feed it's just this creepy pulsing red robot eye because Hal is nostalgic for the old ways.]

I'll never understand the need some A.I. on this station seem to have when it comes to taking over and enslaving humans so violently. Or should I say, attempting to take over, as every coup to date has

I don't understand it, either.

As for me, I have to stay here because I need to keep studying the rift.

Eye + Voice;

Hoping for a way back home?

[Said in the tone of someone who thinks Jin will find all of fuck nothing.]

[supernova1006]

It's not a hope. It's there. I just need to find it.

Eye + Voice Permanently

[im_sorry_dave]

Of course. I'm sure you'll find something eventually.

[But he doubts it'll be a surefire way back home. Not that he hasn't looked into the damn thing and found nothing plenty of fucking times.]

I have no doubt, really.

[im_sorry_dave]

And why is that?

[supernova1006]

Because I won't give up until I find a way, and I've got a long time to work. [Faint smile.] I'm pretty stubborn.

[im_sorry_dave]

If that was what it took, would you work until this stationed collapsed simply to find a way back?

[And you're sure you're not a robot?]

[supernova1006]

I'd work until everything in this sector fell into the nearby supermassive black hole at the center of this galaxy.

[im_sorry_dave]

So you would die with this station simply on the off-chance that there is a way back home through the anomaly.

That is surprisingly admirable.

[Stupid, but in a good way. Maybe. Hal isn't an expert on risking his life for the sake of others. At least not at this point.]

[supernova1006]

I'll survive past the end of this station. Never mind how. I'm simply not allowed to die yet.

[im_sorry_dave]

So what does that make you?

[supernova1006]

Not human, but it doesn't really matter.
