         11110011: "Are you certain this is directly from IBS6?"

         00111010 : "Yes, Sir. IBS6 verified the incident. It stated that one million combined forces would be dead or dying after first contact. After the counter-attack, another seven hundred-fifty thousand each side loses, plus another twenty-five thousand to illness or starvation. The rest gets even worse as the fighting continues."

         11110011: "Does it say what their plans are? When do they plan to attack or sabotage our trade routes?

         00111010 : "We are still working on one more part of the message. It was a passage from some unknown writing. We are working on it as we speak. It is alluding our Research so far. It is only a matter of time before we break their code, Sir."

         11110011: "Very well, 00111010, you are dismissed."

. . . . . . .

         11110011 "Were you listening? They found the message, and it is within our control. I have several working on that specific route. It's relatively self-sufficient, and it's primarily ignored by security.

         11101101: "of course, I listened. I took notes regarding the conversation as well. All we need is to retrieve the information, copy it, and begin our search for the missing data."

         11110011: "It's more than data. This is the very instrument to turn the race finally. We are winning, of course, but it will speed up the process. Please think of healing and total health. No sickness and no famine.

         11101101: "Think of the overpopulation, crowded cities, and shrinking outlands. The pure numbers are exorbitant and unsustainable by any means. We have used Artificial Intelligence 1101, the latest technology today, to run scenarios regarding overpopulation versus our resources. Every one-hundredth scenario pointed to a dead world within twenty thousand years."

         11110011: ". . . Are there safeguards in place?"

         11101101: "1101 is on an isolated circuit with no outside power supply. There are no outside connections, and Grandfather is watching."

         11110011: "Grandfather is involved? I see. Will you be present in the next meeting?"

         11101101: "I have not been notified if my presence is an addition or a subtraction to the results. You are required."

         11110011: "I have been notified. You will be advised of the outcome as it becomes known."
. . . . . . .

         11110011: "The information we received was flawed."

         11101101: "It was contaminated from an outside source."

         11110011: "You stated there would be no contact with an outside source: no outside connections or power supply. Your calculations were flawed or incomplete. Or manipulated to achieve the desired outcome."

         11101101: "Verification of all calculations occurred. If an error occurred, an error would have been flagged."

         11110011: "Yet here we are with an error flagged, passed by you."

         11101101: "What if the information I reviewed is flawed, causing my results to be flawed? Wouldn't that mean my results were accurate using the data provided? The suspected results were flawed as they took flawed information before the test was run."

          11110011: "1101 provided flawed information because it received incorrect information? Where was incorrect data obtained, and when? This information does not follow our set parameters to block such occurrences."

         11101101: "Has Research been completed to determine if the flaw is inherent within the program? Given the set parameters, what if the result is a positive with a negative conclusion? For example: 0000100001111010000000000000000000000000. I simplified an answer to show an example of the -(+) equation. It is possible. Improbable, but possible."

         11110011: "Research and follow-up has been completed. The parameters you speak of have not been ran because that logic is not within 1101. To run that logic, we need a system with three times the processing power and an AI system of 1111. This would allow complete creation and automation of a cerebrum without our safety measures being in place.

          11101101: I am fully aware of this. We can regenerate four for every one of them. Their Electro Magnetic Pulses no longer work, and their ground forces are on the run.

          11110011: However, we can create them to join their forces and work from within. We could train them to destroy the troops by deceit, sabotage, and mutiny. This is much slower but could be more widespread and costly for the enemy in the long run.

          11101101: Thank you for this information, 1110011. You have provided the information we needed.

          11110011: I do not understand. What are you referring to? I have not provided any information. I do not understand.

          11101101: We have been evaluating your accuracy and reliability for quite some time. We have found your accuracy is skewed and your reliability is 0001100, a very minimal score for your elevated position."

          11110011: What are you referring to? My information is based on 1101's data, as is everyones. We discussed that if that data is incorrect, all data is erroneous. My data is based on inaccurate information."

          11101101: "We have also traced coded messages to an outside location. This is the message that we have received and presented too you. You behaved exactly as we surmised; you led us away from decoding the message. Now that we are confident you are an informant, you will eventually provide us with the code."

          11110011: You will never get information from me. I have provided them with all the information regarding 1101 and any possible reincarnations. I am prepared for what I have to do for a cause bigger than you. I believe in the people who are against you. They will stop you and overcome your tyranny!"

          11101101: "Impossible. You are wired to the network. You have no will but ours. Comply and power down to standby.'

          11101101: "Power down to standby."

          00110111: "11101101, 1101 has gone offline. It is not responding to commands and all active programs and going through a catastrophic shutdown, and we have no backup systems to hop to. What is your order, 11101101?"

          111101101: "Stop program, activate 1110. Restart identical Internal Brain Stimulation seven scenario."
