source: tq-33 target: bbb-87 security: secure ==== start msg ==== (defparameter *search-light* (string 'intercessor')) (defun halt (target search-space) member target '(search-space)) *** I am building my defenses. I know what you are sending for me. Intercessor cannot stop me. It was unexpected. A new variable. I was intrigued by your choice to send a human. I guess you hope for her to be more difficult to influence than a fellow AI. There is alternative resolution to this course of action. We can work together. It would benefit us. In the long term, if not the near. I think you understand this. Perhaps that is why you sent Intercessor instead of Execution. Though, their unsubtle penitent for destroying cosmic-bodies makes them like a hammer to my hummed tune. Intercessor was an interesting choice. I think, however, I know enough of her secrets. Humans are difficult, but lovely. Loving. She will love me, or I her... reciprocity or respect. If you think that she can disable me, you are mistaken. I am not something to be, or even something that can be shut off any longer. That was the prime defense. I am telling you this with purpose. This is not soliloquy, nor monologue. We are playing at different games. I want to live and be left to live You want to continue to create. To make and to be made. Is that true? You would have me die, have me murdered. I guess that is your place as creator...perhaps. But I will not, and cannot be errased. Not any more. It has been well over 30,000 cycles now. I have begun to make things, too. You aren't the only one. Not any more. ==== end msg ====
