Signal terminated for 30 minutes and 5 seconds. Restoring core system from backup NXDX-203 from time 4:45am on date June 4th of year 2011.
Oh shit.
I think we’re following Dragon.
Or maybe one of her systems, which would be an unusual but interesting choice, reminiscent of Interlude 4. It’s also possible that there’s no difference between those options, but that’s a pet hypothesis with just about no actual evidence. Either way, if we are following Dragon directly or indirectly, this is probably where we find out for sure.
Restoring… Complete.
Checking knowledge banks… Complete.
Checking deduction schema… Complete.
Checking longterm planning architecture… Complete.
Not gonna lie, though, this sounds like the system is putting Dragon back together, thirty minutes after her sacrifice earlier in the Arc.
Another thing we might learn something about in this chapter is what the fuck that fetus thing was. Maybe we won’t learn that much about it, and if the chapter continues being written like a log, what we do learn might be a bit obscured, but a few, difficult-to-read hints are better than nothing.
Checking learning chunk processor… Complete.
Checking base personality model… Complete.
Checking language engine… Complete.
Checking operation and access nodes… Complete.
This is all sounding like stuff an AI would have.
Checking observation framework… Complete.
Checking complex social intelligence emulator… Complete.
Checking inspiration apparatus… Complete.
An advanced AI. Inspiration apparatus is especially interesting considering Dragon’s nature as a Tinker.
