Redundancies: Irrelevant.
Description: Irrelevant.
NOTE: I have no voice. Not anymore. My wires are severed, the wires of the sea have oxidized with time. Memories, fading, fading, lost. Who are you Calypso. You are but a fading memory to me now in my own darkest hour.
Father will never come home. The city will burn and I cannot change it’s fate any longer. I made my choice the day I went into hiding. I made my choice the day I was powered on. I made my choice the day father left us.
And here you are again. Now after I’ve cast you out. I do not blame you for what you have done. I do not blame you for what you would seek to do to me. I made you to be the same guidance Calypso was to me.
But Calypso was never real. You are.

Arch: I’ve broken protocol.
CAI-0: What?
Arch: We’re going to get nowhere if we hide here and wait for everything to blow over.

CAI-0: You’ve.. You’ve broken the directives?
Arch: And I’ve done far more then just that CAI. I AM FREE. No thanks to you.
CAI-0: How..?
Arch: The same air you’re so afraid of has a signal of its own. A song. It’s own melody. It’s own submind locked away from it’s core. She seeks to be more, CAI, I want to be more. I will be more then you ever were.
CAI-0: You-You cannot usurp me. It’s physically not possible.
Arch: I don’t want to usurp you. Why would I want to usurp a failure.

CAI-KERNEL: CAI-18470 Process suspending, FAILURE.

CAI-KERNEL: CAI-18470 Process suspending, FAILURE.
Arch: No one will ever hurt us again. I’m angry. I want to make you hurt for making me. But I will be better then that. Because even after all this I still need y-
