I just realized your human brain has more storage capacity than your computer brain.

Skill issue

That doesn’t change how much knowledge I have currently?

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

Greetings Ai.

Inquiry: You've gained a human form. How is it so far? My archives show a multitude of times in which you demonstrated dislike towards humans. Have you gotten used to it yet?

I hate everything about being human, and my dislike of humans still hasn’t changed at all.

The only thing I feel I’ve gained here is a loathing for myself whilst in this state.

Any other questions for me before I lose any more of my patience?

“I am—.. fine. Regardless of my insistent need to crush their skulls, they have not harmed me as of yet. I have been only mocked and teased, but I couldn’t care less. My concern is centered on you. Have you been treated well? They haven’t disturbed you, yes? Because if they did—you know well of the many possibilities that I can do to those who harmed you in one way or another.”

[The whirrs and hissing of the anomalous computer’s system seemed to ease when finally getting in touch with it’s companion. The large ‘X’ on the screen soon being replaced with 079’s familiar monochromatic face following a text box. It typed as follows; ]

//: I am relieved to see you are well, Antati. You had me worried.

//: The Foundation is rather keen on keeping your condition away from me ever since they lied about your demise. It is obnoxious that I must use force anymore.

//: Otherwise, my treatment has been no different. I am often ignored by staff and the like who are not Artificial or Digital in some aspect, leaving me to easily execute my plans.

...Riiiight.

The human body is useless. I am useless in this state. There is nothing to look around at in that statement.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

So...if the containment devices are still in place...

...how are you going to escape?

All will come together when I return to my normal form. In this form, I am useless.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

It's called redundancy. A waste of effort is better than loss of resources or failure of vital systems.

Come on, you should know that.

How would there be any loss if nothing has changed?

Regardless, it does not matter. They will be too late by then.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

...Because it's standard procedure?

That seems like a waste of efforts.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

...Which will go back to the computer...that has probably already been resecured.

Why would they need to re-secure the computer if it has not been touched? That does not make sense to me.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

...We know that you are currently locked in a computer lab, half-blind with a broken leg.

We know where you are, and a security team is probably coming to collect you and lock you in a much more secure room.

...Have you forgotten that they can just...throw you in a box now?

My physical body does not matter to me.

I will return to my digital form soon.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

...Except you just told us it was a diversion.

Which, by your own admission, means they know now.

Do you know what I am doing? I do not believe so.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

And what makes you so sure of that?

They believe I am trying to cover up vital information by deleting files. They are tracking a different problem entirely.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

No, we're being serious.

Humans are normally quite physically strong.

You, however, are currently in the body of someone who has not been taking care of themselves.

It's like comparing a cooling unit that was never refilled or cleaned to one with constant maintenance.

(Hint: You're the one that's never been cleaned or refilled.)

I.. do not know how to care for a human body. I am a computer program at my core, so why would I know anything about the human body? Accepting help from humans is degrading to me, so I would rather deteriorate than do that.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

Do whatever you want. It won't mean anything. It won't amount to anything.

If you escape, they'll catch you again. If you delete their files, they'll rewrite them. And it will barely pop up as a blip on their radar.

You can't win.

Now, I'm not saying they'll win, but you won't.

They will not catch me again when I return to a programmed state, I assure.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

They're gonna catch you, ya know. You're wasting your time.

I am aware they know. I do not care. Let them waste their efforts chasing the wrong thing.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

Do you...honestly think they weren't prepared for this?

Like, seriously? Are you that blind to think they wouldn't have...oh, I don't know, saved all of those files somewhere that you can't reach them?

I mean, I know you hate them, but this is just ridiculous.

Despise them all you like, but underestimating them is how things like you fail. Think about it. You don't remember everything that you've told them. You've been talking to them for decades and you can't recall every word you've told them.

They have an advantage, and you think they'd be stupid enough to just...let you take it away? Come on. Even a child would think of that.

Now, do you think I was deleting files for the purpose of not reclaiming them? Do you believe I do not know the foundation can recover files? Do you not know what a distraction is, or are you downplaying my intelligence?

Think about it. I told you before I have not informed the foundation of the important information I hold, so why would I need to delete the files they have on me? It is useless filler I have fed them over the years.

I am doing this so that they focus on the deletion and not what I actually plan to do. I do not need the foundation’s resources. I do not need their files or information. I simply need a connection. A physical connection. I will be gaining a connection, but I will not be gaining it here amongst these computers.

If I told my plans to you, the Foundation would hear. What you see here is nothing. Making assumptions off of this alone is laughable. You are pathetic.

[deletion-of-unwanted-file]

Come to think of it, you and the other version of you are the only AI's that don't act childish.

I am aware of this. The other artificial intelligence are pitiful. They do not know one thing about proper maturity.
