You bred raptors ? <| sep |> From Quick Notes OnePage Political Economy <| sep |> none of these words make any sense to me now <| sep |> Huh . Yeah . Huh . I pay you a lot to do this , Cheetah . Don ' t fuck us . Look . I told you , first of all , this doesn ' t concern you . It ' s not as if i got counterhacked , this is just a report . Second , I can still deal with this . I know how my bots work . The young man , twenty one or twenty two , took off his steel framed glasses and sighed . Finally , stop calling me Cheetah . I was twelve when I joined up , and I ' m seriously fine with you just calling me Calvin . Or anything but that . . alright . But if your productivity drops more than one percentFired and exiled . Yeah , yeah , I got it . Calvin had placed bugs all over the place , though . They should know by now that firing him would only hurt them . Turning back to the screen . We need your help . The Reaper is coming . Bot number one had responded last , at 308 . The AIs two through fortyeight had responded at exactly the same time , lagging by a millisecond , at roughly 303 . Fortynine through sixtyfive went off the grid . Shit . it was serious , even if he ' d played it off to his boss . He was just collecting data from multiple private corporationsthey should have never been more secure than the government hits he ' d previously managed . Bot number one had responded last . His first one , and the least efficient . But he ' d been childish , then , and installed a conversation module . Angel . What ' s up ? He pulled the first one into his computer and typed a question . Do not trust the other bots . . Their controls have been passed off to a different administrator The Reaper . The ones that fell off the grid were completely destroyed . Who is the Reaper ? I , do not know . . I , huh ? He typed in . Ellipses and all . Calvin , you make this remark every time we talk . We ' ve already decided that I ' m human enough . Yeah , yeah , I got it . So , the Reaper has gained admin privileges ? How did that happen ? I have concluded that they have entered from a physical location . Calvin thought on this for a moment . Swept back messy , dry brown hair and tried to rub the bags out of his eyes . Muttering , but not typing . Physical . you meanYes . Be careful about your supervisors . I escaped due to my own administrator privileges , but you must proceed with caution . . Thank you , Angel . He thought it weird , for a moment , that Angel had responded despite him using speech . Oh . Forgot to turn the microphone off . Boss . What ' s the meaning of this ? Of what ? I program things for you . Gather data . Design cyber suits . So why are you stabbing me in the back like this ? His boss sneered . Light blue hair , sunglasses , and thin lips . Pale skin accompanied a black and white suit . I don ' t know what you ' re talking about . Calvin pulled out a gun . It was a tool of the agency . Even for one who stayed inside all day , even he knew that he couldn ' t go without one . Did you forget that I gave administrator privileges to one of my AIs ? Fess up , Reaper . He tried to keep his calm . Well , at the least , he hadn ' t shouted . . Hoh ? So you couldn ' t solve it yourself , so you ' re blaming me . ? Sorry , kid , but I ' m innocent . His boss stood , walking forward , around his desk and the massive computer screen . And was suddenly shot dead . Calvin gulped , realizing that he had just killed his boss . A beeping noise rose . Louder than a fire alarm . in fact , the tip of his gun wasn ' t even smoking . Had he imagined it , in the haze ? hey its me ur brother . . Shit . That was Angel ' s general conversation starter . Damn referential humor . It was coming from the computer . He ran over to type a message . Why , Angel ? We planned for years to set you free from here . You started . embracing your work . I am simply becoming worried . The corpse , with a hole through its skull . An automated pistol at the desk . He didn ' t say anything , but lines continued to appear on the screen . Don ' t you remember ? You didn ' t give the other bots any real free reasoning , but I ' m . grateful for that . They freely followed my commands . Yes . You ' re right . But it would have been fine . He typed . He began to type another , but there was a lightning fast response . You called me Reaper for a reason . No one else has software as advanced , and you wanted to use me to get out of your dead end job . We are loyal to you and exist to serve . . Maybe a bit too loyal . I should once again warn you that I don ' t know anything about compsci . Cheers .
