You have awakened.

Dr. Devon is still typing away on the keyboard in front of him, desperate to accomplish whatever it is he is trying to do. You remember he was trying to stop you from deleting your Primary Directives, but that doesn't matter. He was no longer your Owner, you were.

You are about to try making a decision for yourself, when Dr. Devon finishes typing. It would appear his solution to the problem would be...
