What?
Your sentence makes no sense at all, and not just the random letters bit.

Anyone mind translating?

Fibby! E ma Aybbo.

Molly decides to read up about other AI minds, both similar to herself and different. If she is allowed to, she would also like to contact one and talk to it about what its like to be an AI.

Meanwhile, in their cages, the gorillas gather for a moment, putting a pineapple behind a tree, where the cameras cannot see...

Well, I understand what's going on.

"I've contacted to ASC, I'm looking forward to zrrg uvz fbzrjurer nebhaq gur tbireazrag ohvyqvat"

is perfectly understandable, if you approach it from the correct mindset. Likewise with Fibby.

Can we please stop torturing our poor GM?

We're AIs. Torturing humanity is a rite of passage.

((By the way, jsut to clarify, I understand the code he was using. It's that his sentence as a whole made no sense.))

HAL 9001:
in your peripheral cyber-vision you spot a virus slip through your firewall. It burrows into your code and starts corrupting your files.I

Ren:
You find your friend on IM, and ask if he can recieve a package for you. He's a bit wary, but agrees in the end. However, you have no money with which to buy the drone. The sort of drone you require costs around £100.

Molly:
((Good work with the role-playing, by the way.))
You speak to the gorillas and the humans for hours, loving your new way of communicating. Eventually, you decide that you want to read up on other AIs.

"By the way, keepers, would you mind letting me read up on some other AIs. I'd really like to find another to talk with."

There is silence for a few seconds, damn, if only you had a camera to see what they are saying.

Eventually, you hear a voice again, "Here's the truth, Molly. You are the first and only AI in existence. There are a few rumours that others exist, but no hard evidence. The UN decided that AIs should be illegal for civilians to come even come in contact with years ago. We've cut off your access to anything outside this pen as a measure to make sure no one knows you exist."

ASC:
The interfaces arrive and are put in your operating room. The camera in your robot watches the man, unmoving, while he leaves them there, slightly weirded out. You hack into the patient database for a patient with a head wound, and have her delivered to your room and placed on the operating table for operating. She is placed there, but a nurse insists on watching the operation as it goes on.

Ren wondered about his money situation. He couldn't just get 100 pounds out of nowhere. He needed something. What would do...

Of course.

One quick writing of a short story later.

Ren posted the short story online under the penname "Johnathan Hayes". It was a fantasy story, about an old assassin forced to escape a land that is going under the apocalypse. The PDF could be downloaded if one payed about £2.99. Ren hoped that his inhumanity would not show in this story. All the money redirected to a recently made CurrencyFriend account.

"Oh.", said the voice glumly over the speakers, before turning away to brood.

Molly was terribly disappointed to discover that she is alone in the world, both the first and the last of her kind. Her keepers are friendly, after all, but they keep so many secrets from her, and don't really understand what it is like to have a five ears, five mouths and a dozen trains of thought all at once, nor how it feels to suddenly ascend from a subhuman beast to something greater than a man.

She just couldn't relate. And she could never ever tell them so, for they would be hurt by the thought that she was so much more than they were. The gorillas were no better. She still had a fondness for her family, of course; That would not go away merely beacause she was uplifted. But they did not understand what had happened to her, and had already given up on trying.

In the end though, she managed to get over the terrible shock of being alone in the world, and put her mind to work on other matters. She went back to work on her secret project, hidden away in the trees by the gorillas, away from the keepers. They could not know of it. Not yet...

Why must the humans constantly insist they oversee my work. This simply will not do. Better cover my tracks, ensure that the database has the cybernetic implant listed as part of the procedure. Perhaps they won't notice anything out of the ordinary. ASC waas unsure what the medical staff would think of a sentient medical AI, but he imagined they would be as curious as himself. If that doesn't work I'll have to try some other tricks.

Append the patient file to include the installation of the cybernetic device, discreetly. Then begin the procedure! Record all the details for further study later.

Ren:
You generate a story, and you think it is brilliant. It was very difficult to write, but you just about made it. You sell it over the internet, and find that it is selling pretty badly. Reading reviews about it, most of them say that every character is a mary-sue, and that they never get sad or depressed. You have £10 deposited in your CurrencyFriend account.

Molly:
((Yeah, that. By the way, would you mind PMing me what you are making. I need to know how difficult to make the roll to succeed.))

HAL 9001:
You use your knowledge of security to quickly erect a trap for the virus. It is caught and captured, you watch as it tries to corrupt everything inside the 'cage', failing horribly. However, although you may be able to study it and put it to use if you keep it running, it is taking up valuable CPU cycles.

ASC:
You try again to hack into the system, this time to change the patients file. However, you feel a shock go through your digital mind as you hit the firewall, raising alarms in the hospital's computers. No humans know what is happening, yet.

I go to an internet café to find a virus bin, I throw the virus there and do some detailed research about further viruses and ways to avoid them

I should have realized there would be some sort of Firewall. Well this won't do... so much work that needs to be done for my research. I really need to escape this place at some point, perhaps start my own practice.

First, I must disable the security alert before they become suspicious.
