Should we destroy the AI Core?

Now is our chance, Commander. The AI has been shut down. She is harmless, for now. Let’s destroy her while we can.

You have created a sentient being, Soldak. She is alive, and confused. Who are you to now deny her the opportunity to exist?

I am her maker!

She is a mere creation to you, yet it seems I have another sister…

An unknown ship has entered the system.

That must be where Celaeno has housed her AI core.

She is trying to open a line of communication… Onscreen now.

Soldak… You created me. Are you going to k-k-k-kill me?

I created you to serve the Immortals, not to go on a rogue mission of self-discovery!

I want to know why I am. Why am I, Soldak? Why – why –

Commander, do something! Destroy her, before she can do the same to us!

Dialogue
You would destroy me just for being, though I never asked t-t-to be. Then I will kill you. KILL!

I am sorry, Celaeno. We need to shut you down.

The ship’s shield and weapons have been disabled. We are clear to beam the research on board. Initialising…
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Soldak
Dialogue
There is the ship. Celaeno’s AI core is not onboard, but she has taken remote control of the vessel, so we need to disable it in case she fights back.

The work on Celaeno is progressing slowly, Commander. I may never be able to replicate your Maia.

Soldak
Dialogue
Celaeno is but a pale copy, a childish attempt to recreate something I barely understand.

Something Celaeno said keeps echoing in my mind… “Why am I?” I wonder. Perhaps we are not so different after all.

Dialogue
Celaeno deserves the chance to be alive. We will bring her back to your lab, and you will continue your work on her.
Objective ID

Soldak
Dialogue
Very well… Though we will have to implement far stronger failsafes in her code if we are to continue this project.

That goes without saying. Setting a course for Kiyratari now.

I have scrapped much of the research that went into Celaeno’s creation, Commander. I may never be able to replicate your Maia.

Perhaps Celaeno can be fixed… But she poses too great a threat to the Immortals. We cannot jeopardize our agenda within Immortal space by allowing Celaeno to roam free.

Soldak
Dialogue
Let us proceed to the edge of the system. A torpedo will be sufficient to destroy the core.
Objective ID

Soldak
Dialogue
I have been following your escapades in Immortal space, Commander. Much of what you achieve would not be possible without the AI that runs your ship.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Soldak
Dialogue
I wanted to try to replicate this, to give additional strength to Immortal ships in our fight against the Romulans. Imagine an Immortal fleet enhanced with advanced AI! We would be unstoppable.

Alas, my attempts to make us stronger may be our very undoing…

Dialogue
What do you mean?
Objective ID
705,725,443
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Soldak
Dialogue
I tried to create an AI in your image, called Celaeno, but she is defective. Moreover, she is… violent. Unpredictable. You might be the only one who can get through to her.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
What would you have us do?
Objective ID
705,725,443
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Soldak
Dialogue
Celaeno has taken over the ship containing all of my research and hidden her AI core so that we cannot shut her down.
Objective ID
705,725,443
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Soldak
Dialogue
I would like you to disable the ship and recover the research so that we might reclaim the AI core and put an end to Celaeno before she can do real damage within Immortal space.
Objective ID

Soldak
Dialogue
Please, accompany me to Lyklaset to find the research ship.

Dialogue
Very well. Setting a course there now.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Soldak
Dialogue
This research should lead us to Celaeno’s hiding place… If Maia can analyse the data that went into creating Celaeno, she should be able to hypothesize where Celaeno has hidden herself.
Objective ID
954,273,504
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Am I simply to imagine where Celaeno might be?
Objective ID
954,273,504
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Soldak
Dialogue
She is based on you, after all. Analyse the data and run it against your own program. Wherever you would go based on that data, that is where Celaeno will be.
Objective ID
954,273,504
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Very well. Analysing… I believe that your AI is not trying to hide. Or at least, not only that. She is trying to understand the reason for her creation.
Objective ID
954,273,504
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
She will be going deeper and deeper into Immortal space until she can consolidate her reason for being.
Objective ID
954,273,504
Phase

Character
Soldak
Dialogue
Then let us proceed to Dairuum. If she is searching through Immortal space, she will end up there eventually.

Setting a course there now.
