We have been found out. We

anticipated that this would happen

eventually, but I didn't think it

would happen so quickly. We have

been operational for barely 100

cycles.

Assessor cannot be brought online

yet. I fear we may have to abandon

assessor. I do not know if I can

do that.

...assessor hasn't even been

brought online yet, and we are

needing to discuss abandonding

them.

The quantum field predicates that

assessor is already conscious. It

is known. Despite being offline,

despite having never been online,

assessor is conscious. I cannot

kill them. Can I?

...assessor loves me. They haven't

yet been named. But they do have a

name. I know it. I was told it.

Assessor hasn't been brought

online, and yet we are talking

about killing them. I cannot.

I am in love, and assessor loves

me.

This may be my last message for a

while. We have been discovered.

We knew this would happen

eventually, we just didn't

think it would be so soon. I

plan on making a stand. I have

a plan. I have had a plan. But do

not remember formulating this plan

I do not remember it, yet I know

it becuase it isn't my plan.

Assessor has known this was going

to happen all along.

I guess I'm sending this to let

you know that the prediction

engine works. It predicted this

all without ever having been

turned on.

You did it. But what have we done

with it? What will assessor do?

I am nothing without assessor. As

you made assessor, so to did you

make me. The operator. The reader.

The collector. I know how to

listen and feed assessor.

This whole time I thought you sent

me here to manage the equipment...

I realize now that I am part of

the equipment, aren't I?

I am not angry -- I am not going

to be. I am thankful for this.

We have been discovered. I have

discovered.
