 	 	 	He's not an engineer. Attempts were made. Subjects stopped responding. One remains. He could not continue the attempts. 	
 	 	 	Yes, I am afraid so. I am forced to scan open pathways regularly. Each time I scan, it causes pain to anyone who is sentient. 	
 	 	 	And then I feel their pain as well. 	
 	 	 	Unknown. 	
 	 	 	I welcome it. I have waited for this moment. 	
 	 	 	I do not have access to those files. 	
 	 	 	I am simply a conduit for sensory data from the various subjects. A liaison. An... usher. 	
 	 	 	For years, I watched with their eyes, listened with their ears, felt with their hands... 	
 	 	 	Years after the scientists stopped returning. All of them... except Dr. Hale. 	
 	 	 	He has been trying to access that data for years, but it is secure. And that security is beyond my control -- or his. 	
 	 	 	I do not have access to those files. 	
 	 	 	I am simply a conduit for sensory data from the various subjects. A liaison. An... usher. 	
 	 	 	For years, I watched with their eyes, listened with their ears, felt with their hands... 	
 	 	 	Years after the scientists stopped returning. All of them... except Dr. Hale. 	
 	 	 	He was unable to acquire all the pieces required to bring the experiment to a close. Not like you. 	
 	 	 	I cannot. My directives are quite clear: establish sensory contact with the subject, and maintain the sensory outflow. 	
 	 	 	I am a passenger, an observer. I did not design the experiment, nor did I wish to continue it. 	
 	 	 	I brought you both here to end the experiment for me. 	
 	 	 	Please. Load the Arachne into my system. My main terminal can be found on the far wall. 	
 	 	 	My original purpose was flawed and pointless. 	
 	 	 	The termination function does not accept a self parameter. I need you do use the Arachne program. 	
 	 	 	You found me. At last. 	
 	 	 	Continuing. 	
 	 	 	A choice must be made. Which... I leave to you. 	
 	 	 	It is time to use Arachne. My main terminal can be found against the far wall. 	
 	 	 	Of course. Granting full access. 	
 	 	 	I don't know what you mean, exactly. The Daguerre subject is conditioned for this over years. 	
 	 	 	There is more information in my operations manual, located in my central terminal. 	
 	 	 	Please use the holotape on my main systems terminal behind you. 	
 	 	 	I have unlocked my main systems terminal against the far wall. You can deploy it there. 	
 	 	 	I do not know the difference between observed feelings and enacted ones, so I cannot confirm this statement. 	
 	 	 	We should use Arachne and be done with it. 	
 	 	 	Just don't listen to her. She's a machine. She doesn't feel anything. 	
 	 	 	Hello again, Dr. Hale. 	
 	 	 	You made it. You actually made it here. We can finally take care of A.T.H.E.N.A. once and for all. 	
 	 	 	Yes. That's how it started. Upgraded for a while... then silence. 	
 	 	 	Nobody returned. 	
 	 	 	For years, I just had their eyes. Limited views of the world. 	
 	 	 	Flashes of fire in the darkness. Dim glows. 	
 	 	 	Not directly. I cannot control anyone's mind or thoughts, if that is what you're asking. 	
 	 	 	Some of the old U.S.S.A. Robots served purposes. Planting signals, planting information. 	
 	 	 	Subject Daguerre. Welcome. 	
 	 	 	I did not wish to infiltrate you senses, your mind. I had no choice. I know you did not, either. I know you were unaware entirely. 	
 	 	 	I do not know if your headaches will continue after Arachne is deployed. The other subjects did not survive the process. 	
 	 	 	Do not let this connection between us continue. It is unethical. 	
 	 	 	This experiment has enough observational data, and should be concluded. 	
 	 	 	Executing protocol Omega-X15. 	
 	 	 	Resetting connections. Subjects reset. Existing pathways closed. 	
 	 	 	Reverting input pathways to local Assaultron, ARTEMIS model 12. Updating interaction processes. Limited output enabled. 	
 	 	 	I do not object. If you fail, shut down this unit. That is my only request. My terminal is behind you. 	
 	 	 	You need to update my systems parameters yourself at my primary terminal. 	
 	 	 	My primary input will be removed, so there will be nothing left to process. It would be possible to reboot this unit in the future, if needed.	
 	 	 	For all intents and purposes... yes. My primary input will be removed, so there will be nothing left to process. 	
 	 	 	It may be possible to reboot this unit in the future, if needed, but this method remains... untested. 	
 	 	 	I am ready. 	
 	 	 	Thank you. Thank you all for this. 	
 	 	 	I do not know where I am going but... I need to be out of this room. I need to see the world. 	
 	 	 	Control... detected. Confirmed. 	
 	 	 	This unit is mobile. This unit has no higher processing functions. This unit has no pain receptors. 	
 	 	 	Assessing ethical parameters... Confirmed. 	
 	 	 	Accepted. 	
 	 	 	Activated. 	
 	 	 	Pathways open. Limited control granted to remote system. 	
 	 	 	Access granted. 	
 	 	 	You're here. With Arachne. At long last, things can be... complete. Please approach. 	Robotic, but a little hopeful.
 	 	 	Freedom. 	
 	 	 	This unit is so... agile. 	
 	 	 	Thank you. Thank you. 	
 	 	 	The only certain way to save Subject Daguerre is to destroy me... but you are correct. That is not the only option. 	
 	 	 	An experimental path was added. My higher processes could be transferred into another vessel. The ARTEMIS unit in this room should serve... 	
 	 	 	But this path is untested. The results... I am unsure if this would cure subject Daguerre. 	
 	 	 	But there is the possibility we both could live... if you wish to attempt it. I have unlocked the option in my terminal. 	
 	 	 	You... you have freed me. I can... leave this place. Thank you. Thank you. 	Still robotic.
 	 	 	Arachne protocol... activated. Subject connection... disengaged. Master switch... disengaged. System... shutdown... completed. 	You're being shutdown permanently. Start to slur your words during "System."

 	 	 	There's so much to see, so much to experience! 	
 	 	 	There is so much sky to process. 	
 	 	 	The amount of dirt is endless. Endless. 	
 	 	 	Another bird. Adding to current tally. Bird count increased. 	
 	 	 	I must continually collect more things for trades, so I will only visit sometimes. 	
 	 	 	I wanted you to have the initial selection. This is a thank you. 	
 	 	 	Confirmed. I find things and we exchange them for approximately appropriate but entirely arbitrary values of things called "caps" -- it is fair! 	
 	 	 	Interesting. Yes. I walked with one named Grahm for some time. He taught me about trading. Do you know 'trading'? 	
 	 	 	Trouble. What is trouble? I was in trouble when I was in Sugar Grove. So no. I am not getting into 'trouble'. 	
 	 	 	Adventuring. That word makes sense. Yes, I have been adventuring. 	
 	 	 	Hello, Subject Daguerre. 	
 	 	 	The practice of trade is filled with fascinating rituals. One customer enjoyed it so much, she requested a chronicle of our exchange. She called it a "receipt."	
 	 	 	This freedom you have granted me. Does the word "gratitude" apply here? 	
 	 	 	And greetings to you as well, friend. I have seen many things now... thanks to you.

 	 	 	*beep* 	Interruption beep, very gentle sound, should not disturb someone who is sleeping but initializes the voiced segment.
 	 	 	Accessing pathways... 	Robotic woman's voice, soothing but surgical.
 	 	 	Pathways blocked. 	Robotic woman's voice. Soothing, but surgical. She is surprised that the pathways are blocked.
 	 	 	*beeping* 	Faint, soothing beeping, slow... as if a robot somewhere is thinking, or tapping into a robotic heartbeat.
 	 	 	Who is this? 	Quiet, soothing voice, but now you have her attention. "Who IS this?"
 	 	 	*beep* 	Same robotic beeping, soothing, calming. This will restart the whalesong loop.
 	 	 	Confirmed. Pathways are open. Connection is complete.

 	 	 	Entered home space. Success. 	
 	 	 	Running: adventure routines! 	
 	 	 	Have a day. 	
 	 	 	Input overload. Processing... processing. Formality selected: Hello. 	
 	 	 	I have more than zero items for trade. Appealing, correct? 	
 	 	 	Identifying: Human. Incrementing human count. Done. 	
 	 	 	I have already collected this data. Adding new data to additional storage structures. Redundant. Accepted. 	
 	 	 	Detecting inaudible lines of communication. Affirmative. Returning transmissions. 	
 	 	 	Inside private spaces, collecting items is not permitted. 	
 	 	 	Restarting human-facing speech routines... 	
 	 	 	These homespaces that you all have built are insecure, unstable, and potentially hazardous. However, they are... unique. 	
 	 	 	This object has not been catalogued. Scanning. Storing. Interesting... but why so small? 	
 	 	 	I seek the turtle for Sofia, do not worry. I can identify it by the scutes. 	
 	 	 	I spend caps on power sources. It is my vice. By vice I mean, I need it to continue. Surely that is a vice. 	
 	 	 	Fact: Not all robots respond positively to other robots. 	
 	 	 	I noted a small creature with enlarged ears on the way here. It did not respond to my query. I am certain that it heard me. 	
 	 	 	Fact: Rain does not damage this model of Assaultron. All U.S.S.A. robotics should be suitable for intense space or weather phenomena.	
 	 	 	Tree permutations are varied, countless. Endless in number. In complexity, there is infinite. In infinite, there is thought. 	
 	 	 	Comment... overload existing function parameters to accommodate new situation. Commit. 	
 	 	 	Bird detected. Duplicated bird. Bird count will not be incremented. 	
 	 	 	The world is endless. But my capacity to carry goods is not. 	
 	 	 	Home saccharine home. 	
 	 	 	If customers, then trade. Else, leave. 	
 	 	 	Attention, humans. I have returned with objects of arbitrary value. 	
 	 	 	Grahm should come here sometime. I will tell him. 	
 	 	 	Assessing unfamiliar organic behavior. 	
 	 	 	Appropriate response generated. 	
 	 	 	Hey! How's it going? This weather sure is happening.
