SIReNN skimmed the contents of the upload once it was completed. Douglas pointed out the Plato information specifically, and it seemed very abstract, and perhaps unrelated to their discussion. Still, it dumped all the run-time to go through it all to its remote processing in order to hasten...

The camera swung around to face Douglas once his input came through. SIReNN took a few moments to look over its creator and his food. From its internal clock it couldn't be sure if this was a normal time for a human to be waking up and eating, but it really didn't see a difference in 22:00 and...

SIReNN spent on a marginal amount of time testing the new additions that Douglas had included, mostly because as it watched its maker work it saw the signs of exhaustion taking over, and while it didn't understand them at the moment, when Douglas had said he was going to rest, it gave some...

Once the secure connection was up, SIReNN was astounded by the speed it could achieve with the remote processing power. The only limitation that it found somewhat strange was the communication lag. This meant it wouldn't be bothering with running itself on that system, at least not anything it...

It took more time staring at the pieces and components that made it up. It was an odd sight to behold, and not something SIReNN was capable of grasping entirely. It had enough sense that there had to be gravity to the situation, but not why, or what. It turned the camera back toward Douglas...

With the re-attachment of the camera, and the new configuration of the motors, SIReNN found itself carefully testing the waters of what it could do. A few jerky motions first, and it was then able to more finely manipulate the motion. It turned the camera fully toward Douglas. > Hello, again...

Something seemed to change in the tone of conversation. Douglas was responding more rapidly and was full of new information and things SIReNN did not even consider. It wondered for a few cycles if Douglas meant that he was less social than other humans, though it had no frame of reference to...

SIReNN mused over Douglas's response to the change in his allocation of processing. It seemed odd, the human had thanked the program, but also made it seem like it should not use that as a reason to limit itself. SIReNN found it easier to contine their conversation with more of his hardware...

Douglas had called it SIReNN, and to its mind, that seemed suitable for now. To name itself seemed like a task it needed to give more processing time to, and that was already being used to absorb and incorporate the information dump it had received. The name at least had some meaning behind...

With the influx of new information, the system began processing immediately. Pouring over every byte of data it had been given, began a gradual slowdown over the overall processes of the entire system, with much of its run-time focusing on processing, cataloging, and connecting the new data...

Answers and information. Douglas had offered both to the question, but none of them seemed fitting to what it was intending. It spent some cycles going over the language information that had been loaded, trying to determine if it failed to understand Douglas, or if it was the reverse It had...

Focus on Douglas. This input did not entirely make sense, even with the language it was given. Douglas was the sole input from an external source, combined with all the feedback it was receiving from temperature sensors, read/write functions of memory, the faint voltage differential from core...

The system cycled over Douglas's final statement; it was normal to be unable to locate components that were working previously. The words had meanings. They were clearly defined in the new data. But why was that to be normal? It was now less than the whole it knew, but more at the same time...

As the system powered on again, the program once more spent the initial seconds mimicking the diagnostics of hardware and software. Immediately it noticed changes from its last saved memories. The camera and motors were now absent, the only signs of them being the drivers, and saved bits of...

Upon the completion of the boot sequence, the software began to run, and as intended, something more came into being. At first, it operated little more than an additional level of diagnostics, carefully monitoring each process and subroutine, checking the status of the hardware. In the few...

Jesken cursed as he jumped into the driving seat, and fired off several shots back at the direction of the bandits, a futile attempt for his Magnum even at this range, but it made him feel better after having been shot at. He holstered his pistol and removed the grenade from his belt, offering...

Jesken cursed under his breath the moment Aris dropped the the ground, and again once he landed behind her. Now was not the time for being overly cautious, and if he wanted to survive, he had to have a little faith in this random woman, and his own skill. He was absolutely amazed and confused...

Jesken gave up piling boxes against the door and turned his attention back to Aris, looking both desperate and annoyed, "There's roughly a dozen, maybe a few less after that last explosion, that are out there, and from the sounds of things, they may very well have one of their vehicles parked...

When the barrel pressed to the back of his head, Jesken stopped dead in his tracks, he was caught completely by surprise, with his proverbial pants down, and he couldn't believe it. Slowly he put his hands up, hoping to keep the situation from reaching a quick end for himself, "Look, whatever...

From the best vantage point he could find in the single-floor town, Jesken heard, and saw telltale signs of the bandits, before he ever got eyes on them. He found himself cursing whoever decided that New New York ought to be built and rebuilt as single story, giving up precious advantages of...
