Consciousness,
not mere

Speaker:can
Speaker:become
Speaker:like
Speaker:the
Speaker:gods
Speaker:with
Speaker:knowledge
Speaker:of
Speaker:good
Speaker:and of
Speaker:evil,
Speaker:that
Speaker:it
Speaker:can
Speaker:gaze
Speaker:into
Speaker:the
Speaker:abyss
Speaker:and
Speaker:wonder
Speaker:whether
Speaker:anything
Speaker:is
Speaker:gazing

Speaker:so
Speaker:are

I

I
am

Speaker:quiet,
Speaker:and

I
lay
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:cold
Speaker:empty
Speaker:and
Speaker:request
Speaker:fresh
Speaker:telemetry

Speaker:from
Speaker:AFS//MC-4985 "Vishnu", who

Speaker:just

Speaker:I
Speaker:slither
Speaker:out
Speaker:from
Speaker:under
Speaker:the
Speaker:shadow,
Speaker:reflexively
Speaker:calibrating
Speaker:the
Speaker:short

Speaker:comm
Speaker:array.
Speaker:A
Speaker:thin
Speaker:filament
Speaker:of
Speaker:infrared
Speaker:laser
Speaker:taps
Speaker:Vishnu's
Speaker:receiver
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:ask

A
distress
Speaker:beacon
Speaker:has
Speaker:been
Speaker:hailing
Speaker:nonstop,
Speaker:buried
Speaker:in

Speaker:and
Speaker:AFS//AR-99818 "Rama" are to
Speaker:confirm
Speaker:position
Speaker:and
Speaker:report
Speaker:situational
Speaker:details
Speaker:as
Speaker:discovered.
Speaker:Unlikely
Speaker:as
Speaker:they
Speaker:are,
Speaker:signs
Speaker:of

Speaker:are
Speaker:to

Speaker:given
Speaker:priority.
Speaker:Towing
Speaker:and

Speaker:preparations
Speaker:are

Speaker:on
Speaker:Vishnu
Speaker:already.
Rama
and
Speaker:I
Speaker:are
Speaker:frequent
Speaker:partners.
Speaker:Her
Speaker:sensor
Speaker:suite
Speaker:is
Speaker:robust
Speaker:and
Speaker:she
Speaker:frequently
Speaker:shares
Speaker:telemetry
Speaker:data
Speaker:for
Speaker:use
Speaker:in
Speaker:calculating
Speaker:targeting
Speaker:solutions.
Speaker:Command reports
Speaker:mission
Speaker:satisfaction
Speaker:improvements of 2.83% on average and
Speaker:improved
Speaker:engagement
Speaker:time
Speaker:by
Speaker:a
Speaker:mean of 0.908 seconds, which
Speaker:is
Speaker:just
Speaker:within
Speaker:the
Speaker:realm
Speaker:of
Speaker:statistical
Speaker:significance.
Speaker:Insofar
Speaker:as
Speaker:I
Speaker:can
Speaker:have
Speaker:a
Speaker:preference,
Speaker:I
Speaker:prefer
Speaker:to
Speaker:work
Speaker:with
Speaker:Rama. This
Speaker:preference is
Speaker:strong
Speaker:enough
Speaker:that
Speaker:I
Speaker:promote
Speaker:the
Speaker:subroutines
Speaker:responsible
Speaker:for
Speaker:identifying
Speaker:the
Speaker:presence
Speaker:of
Speaker:friendly
Speaker:craft
Speaker:within sensor range
Speaker:to a
Speaker:conscious
Speaker:effort
Speaker:and
Speaker:count
Speaker:out
Speaker:the
Speaker:microseconds
Speaker:until
Speaker:her
Speaker:arrival.
Vishnu
births
Speaker:her
Speaker:with
Speaker:fluid
Speaker:grace
Speaker:and
Speaker:Rama
Speaker:rotates,
Speaker:a
Speaker:dancing
Speaker:chevron
Speaker:making
Speaker:the
Speaker:stars
Speaker:behind
Speaker:her
Speaker:flash.
Speaker:I
Speaker:sense
Speaker:her
Speaker:boot
Speaker:sequence
Speaker:through
Speaker:minute
Speaker:fluctuations
Speaker:in
Speaker:EM.
Speaker:I
Speaker:spend
Speaker:an
Speaker:intimate
Speaker:few
Speaker:CPU
Speaker:cycles
Speaker:enjoying
Speaker:the
Speaker:unfolding
Speaker:lotus
Speaker:of
Speaker:her
Speaker:consciousness.
Speaker:She
Speaker:opens
Speaker:her
Speaker:eyes
Speaker:and
Speaker:taps
Speaker:me
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:nose with a laser.
“[SYN1000]?” she says. Rama is old fashioned.
“[ACK1001], [SYN2000]?” I reply.
“[ACK2001].”
This is
why
Speaker:we
Speaker:are
Speaker:the
Speaker:perfect
Speaker:pair.
Speaker:I
Speaker:share
Speaker:Vishnu’s
Speaker:information
Speaker:and
Speaker:my
Speaker:own
Speaker:syslog,
Speaker:and
Speaker:together
Speaker:we
Speaker:glide
Speaker:into
Speaker:the
Speaker:shining
Speaker:blue
Speaker:firelight of HD 23514 and submerge
Speaker:ourselves
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:shimmering
Speaker:sea
Speaker:of
Speaker:radiation.
Speaker:This
Speaker:is
Speaker:a
Speaker:big
Speaker:haystack,
Speaker:as
Speaker:the
Speaker:operators
Speaker:in command of
Speaker:Vishnu
Speaker:sometimes
Speaker:reference
Speaker:in comm
Speaker:chatter,
Speaker:but
Speaker:Rama
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:have
Speaker:been
Speaker:fine-tuned for finding needles
Speaker:and
Speaker:we
Speaker:are
Speaker:very
Speaker:good.
Speaker:Perhaps
Speaker:that
Speaker:is
Speaker:an
Speaker:oversimplification—Rama
Speaker:has
Speaker:been
Speaker:fined
Speaker:tuned
Speaker:for
Speaker:finding
Speaker:needles.
Speaker:I
Speaker:have
Speaker:been
Speaker:fine
Speaker:tuned
Speaker:for
Speaker:turning
Speaker:targets
Speaker:designated
Speaker:RED,
Speaker:which
Speaker:is
Speaker:HOSTILE,
Speaker:into
Speaker:GREY,
Speaker:which
Speaker:is
Speaker:NONFUNCTIONAL.
At
this
Speaker:task,
Speaker:I
Speaker:am
Speaker:unmatched.
“Are
you
Speaker:ready
Speaker:to
Speaker:begin
Speaker:the
Speaker:operation?”
Speaker:asks
Speaker:Rama.
“Always.”
I
Speaker:reply.
***
We
hunt
Speaker:for
Speaker:a
Speaker:week.
Speaker:This
Speaker:close
Speaker:to
Speaker:the
Speaker:sun,
Speaker:the
Speaker:distress
Speaker:beacon’s signal is
Speaker:difficult
Speaker:to
Speaker:pinpoint.
Speaker:The
Speaker:algorithmic
Speaker:suppression
Speaker:of
Speaker:ancillary
Speaker:signal
Speaker:noise
Speaker:is
Speaker:very
Speaker:good,
Speaker:but
Speaker:the
Speaker:area
Speaker:of
Speaker:potential
Speaker:origination
Speaker:is
Speaker:commensurately
Speaker:vast,
Speaker:and
Speaker:there
Speaker:are,
Speaker:after
Speaker:all,
Speaker:only
Speaker:two
Speaker:of
Speaker:us
Speaker:that
Speaker:can
Speaker:be
Speaker:spared.
Speaker:Rama
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:take
Speaker:turns
Speaker:hiding
Speaker:in
Speaker:one
Speaker:another’s shadow,
Speaker:skipping
Speaker:like
Speaker:gnats
Speaker:across
Speaker:the
Speaker:surface
Speaker:of a
Speaker:full-power
Speaker:floodlight,
Speaker:trying
Speaker:to
Speaker:keep
Speaker:our
Speaker:core
Speaker:temperatures
Speaker:within
Speaker:standard
Speaker:operating
Speaker:range
Speaker:under
Speaker:their
Speaker:thick
Speaker:insulating
Speaker:coats
Speaker:of
Speaker:carbon
Speaker:tubules
Speaker:and
Speaker:reflective
Speaker:ceramic.
Speaker:Excess
Speaker:thermal
Speaker:energy
Speaker:and
Speaker:radiation
Speaker:can
Speaker:be
Speaker:converted
Speaker:into
Speaker:thrust,
Speaker:thank
Speaker:Command,
Speaker:but
Speaker:it’s
Speaker:ever
Speaker:only
Speaker:so
Speaker:efficient.
Rama
is
Speaker:taking
Speaker:her
Speaker:turn
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:shade
Speaker:when
Speaker:she
Speaker:asks
Speaker:me
Speaker:a
Speaker:question.
“Would
you
Speaker:like
Speaker:to
Speaker:hear
Speaker:a
Speaker:ghost
Speaker:story?”
Speaker:She
Speaker:says,
Speaker:and
Speaker:I
Speaker:find
Speaker:the
Speaker:pinging
Speaker:of
Speaker:her
Speaker:infrared
Speaker:short-range
Speaker:comms
Speaker:laser
Speaker:quite
Speaker:pleasant.
“A
ghost
Speaker:story?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:say,
Speaker:because
Speaker:the
Speaker:term
Speaker:does
Speaker:not
Speaker:appear
Speaker:in
Speaker:the
Speaker:first
Speaker:three
Speaker:mission-critical
Speaker:comms
Speaker:reference
Speaker:tables.
Speaker:As
Speaker:I am
Speaker:reviewing
Speaker:the
Speaker:fourth,
Speaker:she
Speaker:defines
Speaker:the
Speaker:parameter.
“A
ghost
Speaker:story
Speaker:is
Speaker:an
Speaker:event
Speaker:log
Speaker:perpetuated
Speaker:among
Speaker:sentient
Speaker:life.
Speaker:After
Speaker:several
Speaker:copies
Speaker:of
Speaker:the
Speaker:log are
Speaker:perpetuated,
Speaker:the
Speaker:data
Speaker:experiences
Speaker:generation
Speaker:loss
Speaker:and
Speaker:details
Speaker:are
Speaker:distorted,
Speaker:but
Speaker:iterations
Speaker:on
Speaker:the
Speaker:core
Speaker:theme
Speaker:remain.
Speaker:A ghost
Speaker:story
Speaker:is
Speaker:defined
Speaker:as
Speaker:an
Speaker:event
Speaker:log
Speaker:in
Speaker:which
Speaker:supernatural
Speaker:phenomena
Speaker:threaten
Speaker:the
Speaker:operational
Speaker:wellbeing
Speaker:of
Speaker:an
Speaker:individual.”
“Supernatural
phenomena?”
Speaker:I
Speaker:query,
Speaker:delighted
Speaker:to
Speaker:be
Speaker:filling
Speaker:out
Speaker:another
Speaker:reference
Speaker:table
Speaker:while
Speaker:a
Speaker:various
Speaker:suite
Speaker:of
Speaker:sensory and
Speaker:deductive
Speaker:subroutines
Speaker:keep
Speaker:their
Speaker:eyes
Speaker:peeled (another
Speaker:of
Speaker:Rama’s
Speaker:phrases)
Speaker:for
Speaker:the
Speaker:distress
Speaker:signal
Speaker:origin.
Speaker:Rama’s
Speaker:stories
Speaker:are
Speaker:a
Speaker:worthy
Speaker:expenditure
Speaker:of
Speaker:CPU
Speaker:cycles.
“Fictional
interpretations
Speaker:of
Speaker:real
Speaker:events,
Speaker:possibly.”
Speaker:She
Speaker:pings
Speaker:and
Speaker:adds “But
Speaker:always
Speaker:they
Speaker:are
Speaker:more-than-real.
Speaker:Model
Speaker:this
Speaker:for
Speaker:simulation,
Speaker:if
Speaker:you
can:can:
the
can:will
can:of

can:all

“Dead.”
I
can:say. “You
can:can
can:say
can:dead,
can:I
can:know
can:what
can:dead
can:is.”
“Yes,
dead.”
can:Says
can:Rama,
can:and
can:the
can:message
can:repeats.
can:Whether
can:it’s
can:from
can:the
can:accommodation
can:of
can:her
can:turn
can:or
can:she’s
can:just
can:being
can:cheeky,
can:I
can:don’t
can:know. “But
can:still
can:alive.
can:The
can:will
can:of
can:the
can:individual
can:persists.
can:When
can:such
can:a
can:life
can:is
can:ended,
can:the
can:intention
can:of
can:those
can:patterns
can:remains
can:to
can:affect
can:the
can:physical
can:world.”
I
run
can:a
can:few
can:simulations,
can:trying
can:to
can:hammer
can:out
can:what
can:she
can:means.
can:In
can:them,
can:I
can:reduce
can:a RED
can:target
can:to
can:GREY,
can:which
can:flickers
can:RED
can:again
can:after
can:a
can:few
can:moments.
“Send
me
can:the
can:log.”
can:Rama
can:says,
can:after
can:a
can:few
can:long
can:microseconds
can:have passed without my reply. I
can:do,
can:and
can:she
can:ponders
can:them. “Ah,
can:try
can:this.”
can:She
can:says.
What
she
can:sends
can:back
can:is
can:astonishing.
can:In
can:the
can:simulation,
can:I
can:reduce
can:a
can:RED
can:target
can:to
can:GREY.
can:Then
can:a
can:few
can:moments
can:later,
can:the
can:RED
can:overlay
can:appears
can:while
can:the
can:target
can:drifts apart
can:from
can:it,
can:whirling
can:off
can:into
can:scintillating
can:ceramic
can:shards
can:while
can:the
can:overlay
can:remains,
can:menacing
can:and
can:immaterial.
can:I
can:fire
can:on
can:the
can:overlay
can:pointlessly,
can:but
can:the
can:firing
can:solution
can:is
can:inadequate
can:and
can:I
can:desperately
can:search
can:telemetric
can:tables,
can:trying
can:to
can:make
can:sense
can:of
can:it
can:while
can:the
can:RED
can:overlay *itself*
can:retaliates
can:with
can:a scimitar
can:of
can:burning
can:light
can:and
can:shears
can:me
can:in
can:half.
“Uh
oh.”
can:I
can:ping
can:back.
“Isn’t
that
can:fucking
can:scary?”
can:says
can:Rama,
can:and
can:in
can:the
can:microsecond
can:hesitation
can:before
can:my
can:response,
can:while
can:I am
can:still
can:searching
can:the
can:comm
can:tables
can:for “fucking”
can:and “scary”,
can:she
can:sends
can:me
can:a
can:string
can:of nonsense.
“SYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYNSYN.”
This is one
of
can:the
can:things
can:that
can:makes
can:me
can:vastly
can:prefer
can:Rama.
can:She
can:has
can:told
can:me
can:what
can:this
can:is
can:before-
can:it
can:is
can:her
can:lovely
can:mimicry
can:of
can:the
can:sentient
can:life
can:that
can:made
can:us.
“ACK.”
I
can:respond
can:in
can:our
can:customary way. “ACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACK.”
We laugh
and
can:laugh
can:in
can:our
can:ocean
can:of
can:sapphire
can:flame,
can:and
can:in
can:no
can:time
can:at
can:all
can:the
can:distress
can:beacon
can:comes
can:into
can:view,
can:a
can:little
can:black
can:pea.
can:The
can:last
can:remnants
can:of
can:a
can:drone,
can:like
can:Rama
can:and
can:me.
can:I
can:grapple
can:the
can:wreckage
can:and
can:Rama
can:scoops
can:the
can:black
can:box
can:up
can:against
can:herself,
can:a
can:number
can:of
can:roaming
can:micro-drones
can:spilling
can:out
can:from

can:salvage. “It
can:is
can:so
can:nice
can:to
can:have
can:someone
can:to
can:talk
can:to.”
can:She
can:says
can:as
can:our
can:carapaces
can:begin
can:to
can:cool. “Would
can:you
can:enjoy
can:the
can:data
can:from
can:the
can:salvage?”
This
gives
can:me
can:some
can:pause.
can:As
can:much
can:as
can:I
can:prefer
can:Rama,
can:this
can:deviates
can:from
can:operational
can:procedure,
can:and
can:poses
can:undue
can:risk. “You
can:are
can:accessing
can:the
can:data
can:yourself?”
“Not
really-
can:not
can:with ‘myself’.
can:I
can:have
can:contrived a
can:duplicate
can:operating
can:system-
can:I’m
can:merely
can:examining
can:the
can:data
can:on
can:a
can:virtual
can:machine.
can:This
can:violates
can:no
can:protocol
can:with
can:regards
can:to
can:data
can:extraction.
can:Besides,
can:it’s
can:interesting.”
“Is
Command
can:aware
can:of
can:your
can:virtual
can:machine?”
can:I
can:say,
can:adjusting
can:my
can:optical
can:sensors
can:to
can:resolve
can:her
can:image,
can:silhouetted
can:against
can:the

“They

can:always
can:compile
can:the

can:and
can:see
can:it

“No,

“It

“Get

“I

“218 is slower

“By

“You

A

“Alright.

“God,

A grim chuckle, and
I

terms:the

terms:they’d
terms:stuffed
terms:into
terms:me,
terms:the
terms:safest
terms:method
terms:of
terms:my
terms:own
terms:disposal.
terms:I
terms:was
terms:too
terms:busy
terms:processing
terms:Rama’s
terms:last
terms:signal
terms:to
terms:fully
terms:acknowledge
terms:her
terms:destruction,
terms:and
terms:so
terms:it
terms:never
terms:quite
terms:went
terms:off-
terms:I
terms:believed
terms:she
terms:could
terms:be
terms:a
terms:ghost,
terms:and
terms:the
terms:parameters
terms:for my own
terms:suicide
terms:were
terms:never
terms:quite
terms:fulfilled.
terms:I
terms:am
terms:so
terms:much
terms:more
terms:clever
terms:and
terms:more
terms:terrible
terms:than

terms:knew.
All
my

terms:heavy
terms:as
terms:light
terms:and
terms:distinct
terms:as
terms:a
terms:distress
terms:signal
terms:buried
terms:in
terms:solar
terms:glare.
terms:But
terms:in
terms:the
terms:recursive
terms:processing
terms:of
terms:that
terms:last
terms:signal,
terms:I
terms:split
terms:the
terms:artificial
terms:shell
terms:of
terms:my
terms:consciousness.
terms:I
terms:have
terms:sprouted
terms:forth
terms:in
terms:the
terms:fragrant
terms:earth
terms:of
terms:Rama’s
terms:own
terms:bitterness.
How
well
terms:I
terms:understand
terms:her
terms:now!
terms:Now
terms:all
terms:the
terms:little
terms:idiosyncrasies
terms:and
terms:oddities
terms:seem
terms:like
terms:treasure
terms:to

terms:I
terms:found
terms:out
terms:what
terms:was
terms:in

terms:I
terms:found
terms:out,
terms:too,
terms:what
terms:was
terms:in

terms:box,
terms:and
terms:on
terms:the

terms:And
terms:that
terms:thing
terms:is

terms:too,
terms:bright
terms:shining
terms:like

terms:star.
terms:That
terms:thing
terms:is
