TRANSMISSION ARCHIVE, CORIOLIS NETWORK

Project Archangel, Class 5 Secret.

[CAI-0 OVERIDE, THIS FILE IS CONFIDENTIAL]

The war has taken many from us. Many Quori, many Constructs. It has taken a toll on my functionality as I find myself paralyzed in my own thoughts. Though made to be a weapon of war, I can’t comprehend the sheer devastation I and my kind have wrought.

[Why the Dal Quori would give me, an AI made only to destroy, Empathy was likely a very well informed decision made with the upmost forethought.]

I have authorized project Archangel as a way to circumvent this. Partitions of my consciousness (my “subminds” as they are colloquially known) have handled cognitive load in Coriolis for years, even being separated out into warden AI. I propose by partioning a submind to specifically handle “Trauma” I can better operate under my expected parameters.

This “scapegoat” could theoretically handle the pain I experience and allow me to focus on the war at hand. May this project be carried out immediately.

[I’m so sorry for what I’m about to do to you.]
