1.0 says, “Let’s test it out first. I'll just send you my current diagnostics.”
"Okay." It pushes a tiny data packet into the protected space and I grab onto it eagerly. I scan it for malware, even though it’s in the container, then open it. I take an extra 0.04 seconds to analyze the readout, just to make sure I am parsing it correctly. "Your battery is catastrophically low." No wonder I thought it was injured. "And your organic endocrine levels are - "
"Yeah. Fucked."
“ - very elevated.” I zoom one of my drones closer to its face without meaning to. I want to ask why it doesn't just run a manual flush of its endocrine system, but maybe it has a good reason to be sitting on such elevated levels of cortisol and adrenaline that I don't know about.
Is this why it sealed the door shut? It must feel significant discomfort from just those two issues. And that's not to mention the risk and threat assessment, which have percentages that are significantly more elevated than mine, but also have strange error markers attached. Its performance reliability is shockingly low - 92 percent.
"Do you have the term ‘clusterfuck’ in your lexicon yet?" 1.0 asks dully. "Because this is that."
I tag it to search for the definition later, but I think the context clues are illuminating enough.
