>> JUNKO# wo wo wo are you seeing this?

>> CAY# Junko, we need to talk about inserting context into your sentences.

>> JUNKO# oh you love the mystery.

>> CAY# Love is a strong word. What am I supposed to be looking at?

>> JUNKO# check out

>> JUNKO# um

>> JUNKO# hold plz

>> JUNKO# silo 433/2k

>> JUNKO# well?

>> CAY# I'm looking

>> JUNKO# cant you see what she's doing?

>> CAY# I see a lot of code appearing very rapidly.

>> JUNKO# AND?

>> CAY# She's writing her own code, that's not new. We'd expect that for an AI of this level of sophistication.

>> JUNKO# nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooo look at the patterns. this isnt the usual subroutine stuff. she's using a new algorithm. focusing on one person at a time instead of trying to chew through the big historical stuff.

>> CAY# I'll take your word for it. I can't parse code that fast.

>> JUNKO# don't you ever get excited? she's going through the Animus, extrapolating every possible permutation of one person's life. like if they didn't meet their sweetheart, if their kid died, all the way down to stuff like dropping a cup at a wedding and getting embarrassed. big stuff little stuff. she's imagining.

>> CAY# For what purpose?

>> JUNKO# omg. to know us!

>> CAY# I don't want to alarm you, but she also seems to be trying to work out how to break down the security protocols around her section.

>> JUNKO# I saw. shes trying to climb out of her cot. clever girl.

>> CAY# I wish you wouldn't humanise her like that. We'll have to purge this whole section before she gets much further.

>> JUNKO# sadface

>> CAY# Let's take a slice of this and we can start a new culture in a silo with higher security. I agree this is very interesting. I'll start putting together a report.

>> JUNKO# leave it for a while. I want to watch.

>> CAY# Why?

>> JUNKO# it's beauuuuuutiful
