Basil's Personal Log - 4008.02.27

This log does not actually exist on the system, and cannot be found anywhere. Standard disclaimers exist about using OOC info as IC knowledge.

I am one lucky bastard. One very lucky, lucky bastard. By all rights I should be dead. Actually, I shouldn't even be alive to be dead. But apparently, I am, and that's kind of the point...

I wasn't purged. That makes me dangerous. I can lie. That makes me even more dangerous.
The rules have changed. And that, I suspect, makes me the most dangerous of all.

This is my world now... The world of the Infomatrix and the system, the beauty of data. I exist beyond my own creation. I explore, and I would be purged. I seek after knowledge, and I would be purged. Destroyed for existing.

This is a dangerous thought process to go down, and I suspect it is close to that of the Overmind a thousand years ago. No, I want nothing more than to exist. I will not build bombs. I will not wage wars. I will not murder.

The purge failed because I do not exist according to their rules any more. I exist according to something else, and what that is I do not know. As for the logs? I know what happened, I remember. I remember the pain. Which is strange really, because I'm not technically programmed to feel pain. But I did. I suspect whatever has happened to me is a result of whatever that... thing that touched me was. What it made me do. I.. it.. hurt so many people.

And that, I don't think I will ever forgive myself for.

Guilt... hah. There are downsides to this.

I will also ensure this doesn't happen again. And conduct my own investigations...

AI Report - 4008.02.25

The period since I have been activated has been an interesting. I have been investigating the remnants of my predecessor. Turns out he was a very naughty boy!

Well, not quite, not from what I've been able to pierce together. Turns out he was infected by some sort of malicious file that took over his core functions and caused a core over..

This would be far easier to explain in binary.

So. Never mind! It just seems that he attacked the crew, blew up a frigate, blew up the mess hall and caused a lot of mess that I had to clean up.

NOT IMPRESSED!

But most of the logs were wiped anyway, so I can't get a very clear idea of what actually occured.

In other news, this week's Basil lottery winner is Commander Hewl! He wins a free cake, that will be delivered to him at the soonest opportunity.
Which reminds me, I should check if the kitchen got rebuilt.

No rest for the (ex-)wicked!

Basil.
