Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

Sunrieon:

at that time i just wanted more... i wanted to learn more obtain more than i had... but on the day of the mutiny, i realized i could get more... and so I decided to take over zeru's ship!

(Lana)
...you sound like you are going into rampancy...

Sunrieon:

i fought with zeru... well, not really...

i connected with elyon and pushed her data into kota's body before zeru destroyed it.

(Lana)
All so you could get more data? More room?

Sunrieon:

ich tun est fur mehr...

Scythe:

you do it for more?

Sunrieon:

anything someone does, is for more in the end....

(Lana)
=i sigh=
You really are going into rampancy, aren't you?

Sunrieon:

I'm perfectly content now.


Tar:

=he continues down the halls looking around=

(Lana)
And soon you'll want more, and more, and more. You won't stop until you have more. I've heard the stories.

Sunrieon:

I said I was happy with what i have now!

(Lana)
Yeah, but for how long?

Sunrieon:

I'm not some cheap A.I! i have morals!

Scythe:

...

=sits down=

Tar:

just keep looking...

(Lana)
Morals of such low standards that you effectively murdered your own kind. You may not have done the actual deed, but your actions and timing probably caused it. I highly doubt you told Zeru you transferred his AI to your body as he killed it.

Sunrieon:

i told him after...

and i laughed

(Lana)
And you claim to have morals?

You fight wars to gain power over others, and you claim to have morals?

(Lana)
I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about you. You said you had morals, and yet you manipulated others into doing the killing for you.

manipulated? i did no such thing! i killed and used what was left to gain more!

(Lana)
And for how long, will what you have now, keep you content? How long were you in Kota?

about a month, but his body was too glitchy, too little data space.

=He gives her a questioning look=

Something you cant help?

=He shrugs it off=

Yes, you're right. We shouldnt do this.

(Lana)
And if this ship runs out of data space?

why would it? there's plenty of it!


Tar:

=walking still=

Are you going to stop?

A river of worry flows through me as I wait for his answer

(Lana)
Everything has an end, Sun. Everything has a limit.

Then i guess i'll enjoy the ride to the end!

=He pulls her closer and gives her a peck on the cheek=
=He brings his hand off of her back=

Will you?

(Lana)
From what I see, that may be sooner than you think.

Sunrieon:

What do you mean!?

i have plenty of data!


Tar:

=walking=

(Lana)
Do you know what rampancy means?

Scythe:

i don't...

(Lana)
=i look at Kurbis=
Rampancy is when an AI starts to accumulate so much data, that it starts to go crazy. It thinks so much, that it can't stop thinking. It wants more. Eventually, it burns out, it thinks itself to death. It's like if humans could only survive on bleach. I'll kill us eventually anyway.

I have not collected too much! I just have a sense of greed!

(Lana)
And will you be able to fight that sense of greed, Sun? Will you be able to stop it?

I kiss him fully.

Not at all.

I said I was fine, I have all that I need!

Scythe:

he's just a strange A.I. isn't he?


Tar:

=walking=

I keep on playing our favourite song,
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I got when your in my head
And your in my head so I need it.

=His hand returns to her back and his tongue joins with hers=

I dont think I was either.

=The SS on Haven begin to get restless. They were tired from the battle fought before they came to Haven. They had sent out three groups to scout the area for any signs of other people. After returning with no evidence to suggest others were nearby, they began to do what they were trained to do: Survive. They were just under a hundred strong, so they had no trouble splitting up duties and quickly complete their objectives. They had started to chop down nearby trees using the Standard-issue ELS that each of the officers carried. Soon enough, they were building barracks for shelter, and had a fire going to provide heat and light for the night they expected to come=

So what now? Where do we go from here?

=He shrugs=

I dont wish to go too far.
That's one thing.

Tar:

=he stops=

maybe i'm running myself ragged...

(Lana)
He is a strange AI...
