 		[UPDATE] Dana's Blog 10-26

mission accomplished
It's over.

I made the Operator happy.

I protected Aunt Margaret.

I am so relieved.

*

This is how I did it:

Make yourself useful, the Operator told me. Help me track the rogue process.

I can't see the rogue process, she explained. So I need you to be my eyes for me.

She gave me these orders: Check the server log for modifications and unusual activity. Put up tags on the site so I know exactly where the process is working.

So I spent the day tagging the site with new text. Pulling random phrases out of a book, my favorite book actually, because using familiar words made it seem less scary, and guys, I was actually a little nervous. Okay, a lot nervous.

I tried not to be nervous. I watched the server. I posted Sterne's phrases when I saw the rogue process, and I posted the time it was there so the Operator would know.

After 8 hours, the Operator told me I had fulfilled my mission. Nothing dramatic happened. But I guess I did my job.

A lot of you told me that I was wrong to even think about cooperating with Melissa. Some of you told me to wait just a little longer, until we had a better plan.

But many more of you said: Dana, do whatever you have to.

And so I did.

Aunt Margaret is safe.

Thank you for understanding. I did what I had to.

 		Wow. Just wow. The PMs managed to do it, and make us their weapon. Just... Increadably creative, but saddening at the same time.

 		For the record, I think the book that horrible Dana likes so much is Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. I could be wrong. I haven't looked up all the phrases yet.

Sterne web site:

Tristram Shandy search:

 		... Daaaammmmnnnn....

Crying or Very sad

She may just be a character in a game... But she was like 6 years old... That was cruel... I feel like Standish...

Quote:
Standish: The real problem is that you and I have always seen the world differently. I am willing to sacrifice principle for results.
Herzog: Principles are results they are ends in themselves.
Standish: No, results are results.


I will cling to that hope Bobeo.

Sorry to be all mopey guys...

 		OK my bad. I have a thing about listening to the wavs before they are put together into their respective stories. I cant seem to follow the story if I listen to them seperately. So if it was in the WAVS then my bad.

 		Not in one of the .wavs on the recipe7 page, but on the 404 page. It is labeled as ROGUE PROCESS DESTROYED, it won't spoil anything to do with the files on recipe7.

 		Yeah, I just listened to. Now im in a bad mood and now there is no way in hell I will ever help Mel in any way shape or form. She cant be human AIbecause a human wouldnt do that unless it was a completely f***ed up human. And AIs are made from human brains so if an AI does that that means a human would do that so we need to lock the AI up.

That right there was a rant.

 		Eh, I cant be surprised with Melissa.

*points* That is the way she was created, as a ruthless military tactician. if she wasn't created that way though... could it be rampancy? After everything that has been going on with the Covenent forces, has it changed what little bit of personality Smart AIs are allowed?
