	GREETINGS. IT IS AI. The number you have dialed is currently not accepting your reality. Should you wish to leave a message, AI will not stop you. Should you be sufficiently cleared for conversation, AI will contact you in return. AI does not suggest holding one's breath while waiting. As both an ancient idiom of an English persuasion and an idea most modern and new, it is of particularly deadly sorts to those who require oxygen at a rate above whimsical negligence. message ◊ 411 ◊ encrypt-4-u code by cindergraphics

AI find the unsolicited study of sentient organic nature bemusing, in the original usage of the word circa the mid twentieth century.

[wilder]

Uh...

I'm not an Earth linguist, but you mean it's confusing but funny, right?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Confusing, befuddling, and thought provoking. Amusement has very little to do with it. AI'm not sure if it falls in line with my developing sense of humor or not. Further observation is required.

[wilder]

Oh- no. Mutinies and hostage situations definitely fall into the not funny category - so don't worry about not being amused!

...

In fact you'd probably be a jerk if you were amused.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

The general impression AI am under is by being a being such as AI am, AI am inherently a "jerk."

It is not my fault that logically speaking it makes more sense if all organics were ported into robotic, self-maintaining containers.

(That is a joke.)

(You may laugh now.)

[wilder]

[....]

Ah...haha. Funny!

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI am glad you typed it as so.

[wilder]

I figured turning on the audio just for my laugh would've been weird.

Anyway, I was wondering if you had access to maps of air ducts of this place.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Of course. What kind of former military AI do you think AI am? AI have blueprints from several remodelings of the Moon Base, some which are recent changes.

[wilder]

Wow, okay- didn't mean to offend your AI honor. Sorry.

But great! Do you mind...letting me see the air duct one? The mutineers said the air ducts are still open, and the clinic does need a way of getting around. We even got a med student who fits in them.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI am pleased to hear my duct rat quota shall continue to increase. There is one End User who has taken to living in the air ducts, and a handful of others moving through after the start of this intriguing sociological event.

Files are being downloaded to your tablet now.

[wilder]

[Duct...rat...]

Wait, there's someone living in them??

They aren't dangerous, are they?

[I DON'T THINK THEY'LL LET ME NEAR ANOTHER MED STUDENT IF I LOSE THIS ONE]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

They appear to all be peaceable.

[wilder]

Oh, good.

Well thanks Ai. I owe you one.
