"Hello? Sorry for calling out of the blue like this, but there's something I need to discuss with you. Can you talk right now?" I inquired, as my call got answered.
"Mhm, yeah, I can talk. And you can call me absolutely any time you want to. So, what did you want to talk about?" Answered Katie in response.
It was a few hours later, around 8 PM, and after resting up a bit, I decided that it was time to discuss this matter with Katie.
"It's about the internal AI thing. I was considering informing the new director about it, for two reasons. First, with so many people now mastering Manifestation Overdrive and Surge, there's likely several AIs besides ours who've become self-aware.
And second, the X-Warrior Zone is currently implementing a project to upgrade the programming of the AIs that run the combat drones and androids, and that kinda has me nervous. What do you think?" I asked her, getting straight to the point.
