Lee's Diary - Pilot of The Narcotic

[Narcotic]

Date: 7 July 820
System: Omicron Alpha
Location: Valetta Shipyard, control room.
Topic: Silent take over.

"Lee, how can you just entrust the Narcotic to this AI?" - Melosa asked me a several times during our flight to Atka Research Station. She almost passed her paranoia on to me. But I remained confident. After all, machines are perfect - they were man-made in order to help them - not to exploit one's trust. An artificial intelligence does always take care for the very best of its creator. That's the idea behind it. Of course the knowledge of a machine being superior over humans leaves an unpleasant feeling. However, we started relying on them already long ago. The present wouldn't work without them anymore. They became essential.

In the end, I don't regret giving Shodan access to Valetta's database with the restriction of solely using informations for the Narcotic's planned upgrade. It simply can't rebel against its orders. It's programmed to not do so. Of that I'm sure.

Hacking - Shodan totally in her element.
