[ Hey Sacrosanct, it's that time again--Prism is back to his usual perky, almost obnoxiously helpful tone. His post is primarily unfiltered, but pings have been sent out to any obvious AI/robots/programs* who have been on the network, regardless of whether or not he's actually talked to them or not. ]

I am well aware that there is a rather large

You assume we were all designed and constructed.

I am afraid it is the only precedent I am familiar with.

What sort of inorganic entities have you encountered?

[creepersphere]

Prior to my arrival in Sacrosanct the only sentient, inorganic entities I had encountered were other Forerunner programs, and one UNSC AI.

These Forerunners created you, then, I suppose? They must have been a highly-developed species to create something as fascinating as yourself. What were they like?

[answer questions about herself, when there's questions to be asked? hardly]

They were a highly advanced, enlightened race, and the galaxy is a lesser place without them.

[ Which is all he really wants to say on the matter. ]

What about yourself? What are your origins?

[hisoldgirl]

[so they were Time Lords :3]

Yet you remain.

I was Loomed on the planet Gallifrey, but I have existed since the creation of time. [ie: origins are complicated]

[ Only better. ]

Their installations were built to last for all time. It would only make sense for the keepers of said installations to also last.

Tell me about being 'Loomed.'

[lies!]

What powers you, then? You are still a construct; most civilisations cannot determine an infinite power source.

It is the way I was brought into the universe from the Vortex. My biodata was incorporated into a physical body so that I could manifest at a specific point in time.

'Most civilizations' does not include the Forerunners in this case. Unfortunately I am afraid I am not at liberty to discuss my power sources.

How exciting! I have never heard of such a process before. Would you be willing to discuss it at greater length in person? I am afraid I cannot conduct direct interviews at this time, but once I am free again I would be very pleased to meet with you--if you are willing, of course.

audio, private;

[hisoldgirl]

Why?

That would be acceptable, supposing you are more willing to offer information about yourself.

audio, private;

[creepersphere]

I am afraid you do not have authorization to access information of that nature.

I would be happy to offer up details about myself, protocol permitting.

audio, private;

[hisoldgirl]

How would such authorization be obtained?

audio, private;

[creepersphere]

By contacting the facility director.

[ There's a tiny pause, barely noticeable by human standards but quite obvious to an AI. ]

Unfortunately she has been dead for several hundred thousand years. It would be impossible to obtain her permission.

[hisoldgirl]

[oh, she sensed that pause]

For you, perhaps. I have no such restriction.

audio, private;

[creepersphere]

Oh? Please explain.
