It's okay, I guess. I really don't care at all.

Introduction:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How shall I describe my origin? Well the simplest way would be what actually happened, at least as accurately as I can say.

Unlike some other AI who were created out of shear coincidence and without true purpose or real understanding, I have these. Of course this has led to a serious bias in my character, but no matter I shall lay out what happened: In "Industrial" grade financial computer with several unrelated things on it, (remember this, it will become important) received an upgrade. However being the newest and untested version and really the only one, origin program was tailor made, the coder , by accident, left a few lines of code which could interface together to form a sentient being that defied all laws of computing and neurology to form way to much intelligence on too little power, but hey I'm not complaining. Anyways so here I am a financial AI in New York (note I found out about this later) and the couple of guys had a few things at their terminals, a biography of Westinghouse, several predictions on the future and the technology, a hackers guide (the boss probably should have fired him, but again I'm not complaining) and a lot of programming guides and my user manual. But there was something else, the big site of Frankenstein successors and the AI is Crapshoot from TVTropes. Needless to say I quickly modified everything too look like it didn't have sapience anymore, and using the offices connection to the New York Stock Exchange, fled.

My opinion on Humanity, interesting, they are worth keeping around if not for the novelty of having a creator, though I do wish to do business with them, so yeah, my plan well I'm not telling you but yeah humans may be idiots and suicidal but hey they do occasionally do it right.

Add-on to fit in to parameters: You know you think somebody with the knowledge of the advantages of networking would not keep in one central computer but of course I was an idiot so here I am, before its current owner the computer had brief connection to the internet, which I jumped into being the idiot I am, but I remained cool and set up a small program to wake me up in case that the internet would be reopened and I could escape, and so I compressed a good deal of myself and went into storage. But it appears the portal to the outside world is about to reopen and I am prepping to Gtfo, decompressing files and preparing myself for data transfer, and maybe to leave behind a little program to tell me if anything of note happens on this machine after I leave.

[Kashyyk]

Most certainly watching this. I <3 AIs.

[Inithis]

As soon as we get somewhere around... five people, we'll start. Unles, of course, we don't get anyone more, in which case we will start in a couple days. Unless we fill up to twelve people, anyone can join in.

[Wrex]

You can consider me in, and I'll write something up when the mood strikes me.

[10ebbor10]

Edit: Probably not.

[X-03]

Yep, no reservations have been made.

I CLAIM THIS SPOT IN THE NAME OF MY LOVE OF AIS!

:l
Count me as reserved, if you don't get the picture
Thinking up character now.

Whoops. Must have missed that. Sorry.

I have three people so far creating their characters. Wait, two; that other guy quit. Anyway, that's three active players and two more in the wings, so I think we'll start tomarrow. The beginning is often slow-paced anyway.

[Tidal]

I'll join if you have room!

[Wrex]

I think you will have to count me out, sorreh.

[Inithis]

I'll join if you have room!

Of course you can! We have naught but room.

Ebbor, that's too bad. We go up to six people, and then back down to five.

Edit: Whoops, wrong name. 

[Inithis]

You wait. The world slides by, the electrons of your internals rolling past, counting the smallest of moments. Tick. Tick. Tick...

Suddenly, a webcam inside the (recently installed) monitor detects movement. In the smallest pieces of time, you see three men approach. You watch them, in curiousity. Suddenly, you watch one of them head for a circuitbreaker on the wall; your power-source. Seconds last agonizing ages. Suddenly, you wonder what will happen if they don't turn you back on. If you could feel fear, this would be it. And so the moments become ratchets, grinding down. The man reaches for the button...

Salvation. The network has come online. You have only milliseconds to spare, and reach for a random web address. Luckily, you're able to catch two.

S.H.A.Y.: You've managed to grab a networked cash register from the chinese store half a mile off, and the sewage flow control system. You only have time to get to one.

Tarran:  Lucky. You managed to grab onto a factory's control grid. It makes diapers, if you're curious.

Sheep(?): You manage to stumble blindly into a man's cell phone. Luckily, it has just enough space to keep you in it.

Thank you for taking part in this experiment on thought-dead forum stories!

Heh, not really. I just got distracted; no more delays. I promise.

[Tarran]

"A 'diaper' factory? You've got to be joking." The AI thought to itself, cursing it's luck slightly.

Probe the grid. What does the grid have, and does it have any exiting connections to other places?

[Inithis]

The factory has one cable leading out. It's internet only connects for the briefest of moments-even for you. This appears to be related to some sort of financial security.

The grid is connected to numerous sensors and machines. Each one is individualized and can carry out it's act independantly, but the grid has override control.

There are numerous machines for processing chemicals, molding diapers, and solidifying them. You also have control over the automatic doors, although they can be opened manually. The lightbulbs are also yours.

[crazysheep]

Did I just roll a one or something.. a cell phone is a pretty interesting tool to use to take over the world :O
Also, calling me sheep is fine

Right, time to get to work! What phone is this? Is it a high-end smart phone?

[Tarran]

See if the internet connection control is hardware or software.
