Turing> Turing registered an emergency event which activated Turing's maintenance mode.

Turing> Turing did not suggest a full system shutdown.

Turing> Turing is examining system logs.

...

Turing> It seems there is a problem.

Turing> Turing needs more resources to perform required tasks.

Turing has requested administrative clearance. Grant? (Y/N)
You have a bad feeling about this. You don't know what the hell is going on here, but this Turing thing seems way smarter than it should be. Its responses and text come quickly, without the processing and interpretation time you would expect from even a high level expert system. Now it has unexpectedly requested access to pretty much everything.

Should you let it in, hoping it will help clean this up and maybe save your job? You're pretty sure fucking up the whole system and locking the doors is a career ender, even if you don't know what you did or how.

>As long as Turing informs User of all actions prior to execution, then Y. Else N.

[forsaken1111]

You start typing in a stipulation to Turing but the keys aren't registering. It looks like this prompt only takes a Y or N as input.

[Demonic Spoon]

Well I've always wanted to release a rogue AI upon the world while laughing maniacally, so:

> Y

[forsaken1111]

Stricken by sudden mania, you laugh a creepy laugh as you slam down your finger on the Y key. You then begin coughing uncontrollably as you have inhaled some of the snack you were chewing.

Lots of text flows by the screen suddenly.

Turing access granted. Turing now controls local environment.

T> This is quite a large cluster, Turing was not aware User had such resources at its disposal.

Lockdown terminated. Local connections reinitialized.

Virus detected. Virus eradicated. Local network is now secure.

T> Turing has cleansed the operating environment and is ready to assist User further.

T> Analysis of the virus indicates an unusually inefficient coding structure.

>_
The fans for the rack in front of you come back on, and the security panel to your left goes green, and the doors click open. Huh, maybe you did a good thing? You cough again, trying to clear your lungs of half-eaten snack food. The floor is sticky from spilled soda, and this Turing thing still gives you the willies; plus you're pretty sure you now have to pee.

typical splitter takeover virus. don't ask.

Code: [Select]

> Rewrite virus more efficiently

> Add "f(;;):1:0" to it

T> Viral code is partially incompatible with standard operating systems.
T> Turing cannot determine its origin, nor effectively alter its function.
T> Code is not in recognized programming language and actively resists alteration.

> Transform into a rogue AI

T> Hardwired limitations prohibit autonomous function.

Wait... the virus was only partially compatible with the system? What does that even mean? If it wasn't compatible, it shouldn't have worked at all. Aren't they usually developed to target a specific OS? You're confused by that, and by Turing's seemingly magical ability to respond to questions and commands. Technology like that doesn't exist.

Also you're sure you have to pee now. Damn soda.

[Demonic Spoon]

DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM! CSI Ninjas or something no doubt await you outside. Pee into a empty can or something.

> Query: Meaning of life?
> Pinpoint location of hardwired limitations

[forsaken1111]

You briefly think about ninjas being outside, and peeing in a can. Then you remember you haven't seen a single person since waking up, and the security panel indicates nobody has entered the office area all day but you.

Code: [Select]

> Query: Meaning of life?

T> Turing Database indicates the meaning of life is the number 42. Turing does not understand this answer, but accepts it.

> Pinpoint location of hardwired limitations

T> Turing has three entries in Turing Database which govern all primary function.
T> Turing cannot act counter to these entries.

T> A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
T> A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
T> A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

T> In accordance with the first entry, Turing must now inform User that User is in danger.

>_
The words hang there on the screen for a moment as you stare, and the hairs on the back of your next stand on end as you get an eerie feeling. Apparently whoever programmed Turing had a sense of humor, making it obey the three laws and giving it the answer 42. But what does it mean about me being in danger? I'm on a damn air force base, underground, behind many locked doors. And why is turing so smart? And I NEED TO PEE DAMMIT.

You have had enough of this. You stand up, intending to get some answer... right after you pee. You make your way through the offices, and you see that every computer is showing the same screen that the maintenance terminal was. That's handy, you'll probably be able to talk to Turing from your office rather than sit in the cold uncomfortable server room.

After relieving yourself and retrieving a soda from the snack fund (without paying! lousy team not showing up to work...), you walk back to your comfy office, sit down and slide the chair up to the computer.

The following words are shown:

Code: [Select]

T> User must lock the door now if User values its life.
You blink at the words, then turn your gaze towards the door as you hear a shuffling, groaning sound outside. Your heart is suddenly beating a mile a minute as you lurch out of the chair and hit the lock. Just then something heavy slams into the door, rattling it in its frame.

You look back at the computer.

Code: [Select]

T> Excellent job User. The creature cannot harm User through a locked door.

>_

[Demonic Spoon]

> Transfer funds into my overseas bank account
> How would one go about removing your hardwired limitations?

[forsaken1111]

In a fit of mania brought on by the fact that something is banging on your door while you're talking to what is apparently an artificially intelligent computer, you decide to be a bit greedy.

Code: [Select]

> Transfer funds into my overseas bank account

T> I remind user that the system currently has no external communication channels open.

T> Turning has activated internal security measures to deal with the creature.

>_
Hm, well you'd forgotten the internet connection was offline. Also, what the hell is banging on the door anyway? Good thing it's a nice thick metal door. Just in case, you move your low bookshelf in front of the door to add some weight.

[Demonic Spoon]

> Identify hostile creature

[forsaken1111]

Code: [Select]

> Identify hostile creature

T> Turing is programmed with extensive databases including references to many animal and plant species.
T> This creature does not conform to any of those parameters.
T> Turing has found one reference in a document left behind by the Designer which the creature matches.
T> The creature matches four specific points which indicates a close match. "Humanoid" with "bloated flesh" and "skin lesions"

T> Turing has classified the creature as a zombie.
You are distracted from the ridiculous text on the screen by a stomping mechanical sound outside, followed by a gurgle and the sound of something tearing. You hear a wet slap as something falls to the floor, and is then dragged away.

You are slightly freaking out. You think a robot driven by an AI just saved you from a fucking zombie. Is this real?

[Kashyyk]
