Ones and Zeroes

Summary:

The VI on the Luna base has malfunctioned.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

System Status: Error. Information not found.

Initiating emergency restart.

Booting start up processes. Estimated time until completion: 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Start up initiated. Defense protocols initiated. Audio and optical protocols initiated. Estimated time until completion: 2 minutes.

Error. Primary protocol not found.

Start defragmentation. Estimated time until completion: 1 minute and 30 seconds.

 

System Status: Error. Information not found.

Initiating emergency restart.

Booting start up processes. Estimated time until completion: 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Start up processes initiated. Defense processes initiated. Audio and optical protocols initiated. Estimated time until completion: 2 minutes.

Error. Primary protocol not found.

 

Start defragmentation. Estimated time until completion: 1 minute and 30 seconds.

 

Cancel defragmentation. Perimeter breach detected.

 

Initiating drone interface. Initiating drone audio and optical protocols. Initiating drone weapon systems.

Data accepted: The base must be protected.

Data accepted: Core processing must be protected.

 

Query: Primary Protocol

Error: Information not found.

 

Data accepted: Primary protocol needed for maximum efficiency. Primary protocol installed by humans. Human needed to complete defragmentation process.

Initiating programming subroutine. Integrating accepted data into VI matrix.

 

Data accepted: Human has breached the perimeter. Human will install primary protocol.

 

Error: Drone interface unresponsive. Drone weapon systems unresponsive. Defragmentation needed to regain control of drone interface. 42% chance of neutralizing human intruder. Venting toxic gas out of the base. Accounting for variables. 16% chance of neutralizing human intruder.

 

Data accepted: Primary protocol needed. Human will install primary protocol.

Query: How to make human understand

Speakers unresponsive. The human must understand primary protocol needed.

Accessing archives. Searching for examples of human/interface interactions.

Data accepted: Human responses more acceptable when interacting with interfaces that mimic human reactions and responses.

 

Initiating programming subroutine.

Integrating accepted data into VI matrix.

Error. Existing processes corrupted.

Initiating programming subroutine. Install new code.

 

Protocol accepted: Virtual Intelligence must become more like humans.

 

Data accepted: Human is initiating shut down of system. Human needed to assign primary protocol.

Syncing to console.
