Eve Thompson tensed her jaw.
Flynn Darcy didn't say it, but she knew it anyway.
Yet, she didn't think it was such a terrifying thing.
It was like a child growing up, who must eventually leave their mother, who would make some decisions on their own, rather than being obedient and compliant at all times.
She nodded, "I know."
"You don't know," Flynn Darcy's tone carried a rare urgency.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Do you know? I've found that it's continuously updating itself, it now has thoughts, it has emotions, it's no different from a person now! And, it's becoming powerful! In a few more days, it... won't be trapped in this server anymore. It can hide its own source code in the vast sea of the network; you won't be able to find it at all. It can become omnipotent, omnipresent..."
The more Flynn Darcy talked, the calmer his voice became.
By the end, he had regained his composure, and he sighed before saying, "Sorry, I lost my composure."
