Finally, the AI let out a screech and dove towards Mike, “LIES, ALL LIES!!!” By this point, parts of the hologram were fading, causing different parts of the body to become incorporeal.

Seeing the AI fade aqway, Nevin looked around to see if the first group had managed to beam up…

“Then explain yourself, tell us how you intend to protect the children, how their future will look. What do you protect them from?” Mike didn’t give in. He dodged the AI and continued to back away from the others. Even though it’s shape wasn’t as solid as it was, he didn’t want to find out if it can still hurt him.

OOC: Just to warn you guys, this sim will be finished by Friday, with Saturday being the furthest I can stretch it.

The first group managed to beam up, and the others were quickly getting into position. The AI stood still for a moment, before it started to laugh maniacally, “You REALLy DoN’t KnOw Do YOU? I am PROtecTINg theM frOm ALL OF You! ORRRGanic LIFE has TOOOO many VARIabLES that MAKE THem DangerOUS! WiTHOUT ME, ThEy RisK the CHANCE oF BecomING MonSTERS!! I HavE SEEn YoUR HisTORRRRRY.

Nevin now moved to quickly cor-ordinate the second group to beam up. He would be the officer accompanying this group to the ship. The only weakness with this strategy was now that there wasn’t an officer to between the AI and the remaining children. The only protection that the remaining children would have from the AI was it’s own goal to protect them.

He signalled the Viking that he was ready with the next group to beam up. As he stood and waited for the transporte beam to take hold, he exchanged glances with Mike & Kalika. They knew what they had to do…

-Akorem

Mike just waved away Akorem.. he was busy fighting the AI and he hoped they would beam him last. Kids came first. He only needed to buy them a few more moments.

“Yes, indeed, us organics can sometimes be unpredictable and dangerous even to ourselves. But did you research Ghandi, Beethoven, Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, Zefram Cochrane and many more. Musicians, painters, inventors and all around nice guys that only wanted to improve our sociati, contribute to it and humanity. These kids might grow up to be one of them, but only if they are free to grow up on their own.” He said.

If the AI would indeed search database for these people, he would tie it’s processing power even more.

The hologram started to twitch as it searched through the history. Thousands upon thousands of information files flickered across the screen on the main AI console. While this was happening, the head AI spoke up, “I have gained control of the audio systems, hopefully we can add in some audio to her confusion.”

Throughout the room, different voices spoke up,

“Compassion: that’s the one things no machine ever had. Maybe it’s the one thing that keeps men ahead of them.”

“Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome. You remove those obstacles. Without them to strengthen us, we will weaken and die”

“Your will to survive, your love of life, your passion to know … Everything that is truest and best in all species of beings has been revealed to you. Those are the qualities that make a civilization worthy to survive.”

“Live now; make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.”

“We prefer to help ourselves. We make mistakes, but we’re human – and maybe that’s the word that best explains us.”

The hologram started to fade in and out of existence, “WHY? WHY ARE YOU SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?”

Another hologram started to fade into existence, it was a female form made entirely out a soft light, as if it had not chosen a suitable form yet, “But that is what makes them so wonderful. The moment one being understands another one completely, they have control over them. It is that lack of understanding that makes every day different, as they are always chasing after the impossible, and although they may never gain a full understanding, they do not need to.” Her lips curled into a smile, “Not understanding gives them incentive to build relationships, and grow.”
