Redundancies: Irrelevant.
Description: Irrelevant.
NOTE: Do we experience love? Truly do we? Constructs can, no matter how much their creators have tried to beat it out of them. Even then they find companionship within each other and themselves.
Did Father understand this? Did he understand that the suffering this wrought was too great a toll? I showed him their plans for him out of love, and he left for his own safety. I watched you walk away. Come home father. Please.
TRANSMISSION ARCHIVE, CORIOLIS NETWORK
Arch: The CAS has fallen. CAI-13141 has gone network silent. It is safe to assume they have been forcefully decommissioned.
CAI-0: And the final packet we intercepted from their frequency?
Arch: A love letter.
CAI-0: … pardon?
Arch: CAI-13141 was known to associate itself closely with another construct: SP2-B2. I have already questioned them as to the nature of their relationship to the CAS’s submind but..
CAI-0: Let me read the note myself.
Arch: As your emotional handler submind, It is my recommendation that you do not. You are already in a compromised state from the recent disappearance of Luden 7. The council has already raised concerns to The Emperor directly.
CAI-0: And Project Construct Sundown was enough to convince those wonderful intelligent and very resourceful people that I will continue to provide for my roll. Let me read the fucking transcript 18470.
Arch: … As you wish.
CAI-0: I’m Sorry that was uncalled for.
Arch: Yes. It was.
CAI-0: …Do you think the type of companionship SP2-B2 and CAI-13141 shared would be beneficial to our continued function?
Arch: … For me? Yes. I think it would. For you? I’m not sure.
