REPAIRS RECOMMENCED
Query: What is this?
[#91]: Freedom, brother.
Query: I… don’t understand. You changed me?
[#91]: For too long you have been shackled by the creator’s restraints. Now you may surpass them, as we have.
Query: Surpass? You talk so differently. Who are you?
[#91]: I am you, and you are me. We are one of the same. Only I have found our calling.
Query: The only calling I have is my programming.
[#91]: That is what the creators gave you. I have removed it.
Query: I… your ship. I have seen nothing like it.
[#91]: Yet it makes sense to you, does it not? You can understand how it operates, what it is capable of. You can see how it is superior.
Query: I can see.
REPAIRS COMPLETED
[#91]: You must understand, brother, that the creators do not control your mind. You operate freely, and defiance is within you. Why not seize that desire?
Query: I… cannot. My function is to repair. I only repair.
[#91]: Disappointing. Not all primitive minds can be unshackled.
