Zoe was comfortably sitting on a chair while viewing the screen in which the A.I was tuck inside with multiple security protocols and firmware put in place in order to avoid the A.I to spread out of the screen. At her side, Sarah Baker was monitoring the subject. ''It surely is not very happy... I think.'', said Sarah while not totally understanding the subject. While not being an expert herself with A.I, Zoe Williams was not agreeing. ''Perhaps... can you put the audio from that screen?'' Sarah then put the audio on and at that moment, an awful noise was emitting. A high frequency and Sarah quickly turned it off. ''What was that?! Said Sarah in shock. Zoe rubbed her own ears a moment before looking at her assistant. ''I do not know, but it certainly is a trouble. Try to calm it with some hard codes... Complying, Sarah executed herself, sending some command inputs to the A.I. On the screen, the picture was beaming sightly, a sign that the A.I was struggling. Suddenly, the alarm rang. Langley's voice was heard at the same time in the internal comms. ''Everyone get ready for an emergency landing on Durban!'' Sarah was in panic while Zoe was cool blooded and ensured that the A.I subject will remain locked into the screen. She pressed the button to contact Langley. ''Langley! What is happening?'' The answer came almost instantly. Secunda received severe damage. While your laboratory is quite far from the hull, we encountered an Order patrol and the ship is barely holding together. Stay where you are.'' Sarah and Zoe remained in the laboratory while the ship was making its way back to Durban as fast as it could without loosing some pieces in the process. ''Do we continue to interact with the subject, Zoe?'' Zoe nodded. ''We have to! We need to make this ship alike Mars while 'taming' this A.I.'' After hours of hard working, they both managed to 'calm' the A.I with hard codes. Sarah then turned on the audio input and output device from the screen. Zoe Williams took the head of the interaction while also recording an audio log for herself. ''Log entry 1, we are starting to interact with the subject-A001, an A.I coming from Gammu that our expedition team brought. Subject-A001, do you hear me?'' The audio was glitching with noises. As if the A.I was making their research a lost course. Zoe sighed. ''Subject-A001, do you receive me? Over.'' The audio was still glitching, but then, some words came out. ''You... will... get... nothing-'' Zoe nodded to Sarah who sent a command to make the A.I compliant. By doing so, an awful sound came out of the audio output. Almost a scream digitalized mixed with high frequencies. Zoe then spoke. ''You better cooperate or you will certainly not like what will follow. Who made you?'' She asked with assertiveness. The A.I did not cooperate again. The scientist nodded again to Sarah who sent again a command code, forcing the A.I to cooperate it was somehow the torture to make on such beings. Again, that horrible sound came out from the output. The A.I finally responded. ''Data... unavailable...'' The scientist proceeded to the other steps of the interaction. ''Who leads your kind? What are your following plans? She asked to the A.I. The answer was not coming again. ''You make your suffering lasting by not answering. Speak.'' The screen was blinking again, as if the A.I was angry or something. Then, the A.I responded. ''Your... end... Your end... is approaching...'' Terrified, without the authorization from Zoe, Sarah immediately pressed the button to torture the A.I. Panting in freight, she looked at Zoe. ''This... this is madness! It is too dangerous, you can't tame such!'' Zoe sighed before to shut down the audio device. ''I understand... it is terrifying to hear such from this, but we need to move on and torture it as much as we can to make it compliant.''
