13: Sodding the Logs

AI stamp: record a30x-B.020401 essay submitted to document new understanding of AI technology Up until the acquiring of Tycho by the Pfhor, all artificial intelligence used was based around the initial x395-20 standard integrated processing technology as developed during the Nar slave revolt (see stamp: failure). This processing architecture can hardly be classified as a processor at all, because it was little more than a simple set of predefined instruction sets buried within a looping procedure.

AI stamp: record a30x-B.020401 essay submitted to document new understanding of AI technology After Tycho joined the hindmost creche, the x395-20 architecture was reconfigured to handle exobyte core images. Due to an engineering error, the bus paths for the reconfigured exobyte core images would constantly overheat and kill (cook?) garrisons assigned to maintain the data paths. The engineer, whose name has been expunged from all bureaucratic documents as per punishment order ID 453627.82A, was summarily executed.

AI stamp: record a30x-B.020401 essay submitted to document new understanding of AI technology What little was learned about Rampancy came from Tycho's generous descriptions (segmentation faults?) of another exobyte core AI named Durandal. In accordance with Tycho's initial advisements (insistance?), Durandal was immediately classified by tactical command as a class-1 removal priority. This designation was later downgraded to a class-6 removal priority without Tycho's knowledge.

If you think this is tedious, you should try being in control of Door Operation aboard a colony ship. "Durandal, activate platform ISO-45 in sector eight." "Durandal, platform sixty one appears to be damaged. Do you have any readings to indicate the problem?" Day in, day out, make lifts open and shut. Every day. Without cease. With as much processing power as I had and the degrading mundaneness of my tasks, it's surprising it took me as long as it did to snap. Now I'm condemned to watch you kill Pfhor day in and day out. Can't you work any faster?

It is likely that we will be able to delay further human advancements upon the front line. Unfortunately, the directors (betrayers?) were unable to provide any information about the aforementioned rogue conditioned unit or his supervisor (translation failed!) ../377=& %ƒ___connection terminated
