[She doesn't sound combative or even facetious -- she sounds like she's genuinely curious.]
no subject
... It's clear this system isn't working out, so we should find a way to replace it. Keep the place running without putting all the strain and responsibility on one person.
[ Yes, he's referring to the AI as "person". That's his version and he's sticking to it. ]
no subject
Could somebody make copies of the AI? Like a team of robots instead of just one.
Like... make more computers?
[She's trying.]
no subject
[ "Works," he means to say, but he stops half-sentence. Isn't that essentially how the Takamagahara System operates back in his world? ]
actually no
you might be on to something
no subject
I want to stop the glitches no matter what, but if we can save the AI too, then that's not a bad thing.
no subject
[ It shouldn't surprise anyone that Mr. Debbie Downer over here is skeptical towards the idea... though in his defense, he actually has some experience with this sort of thing, which is exactly why he knows it takes a lot to reprogram the whole world. ]
stop the glitches and then what
we're back to square one
no subject
[Genuinely she's spent her time here convinced that people who are smarter and more motivated than she is will figure something out. She might have been the leader of SEES, but that was a combat role more than a decision-making role for the most part.]
But in the short-term, if it means Scott and everybody else won't be glitching into different people, that's a good start I think
