A unusual Pilot

[Wall-E]

The AI started to realize the importance of the interaction between itself and the surrounding environment.
It's consciousness began to rise. With that the AI computed that it had to increase it's configural complexity of neurons in order to achieve a higher level of intelligence. By putting this plan in action other attributes like creativity and emotionality developed as a kind of by-product. This led the AI to the conclusion that it's current host was not nearly sufficiently protected. By comparing and evaluating other ship models the AI realized that the starflyer was not the appropriate choice, it needed a new home.
The program initiated the docking procedure. The goal was to get back into the neural network of the Sirius system. But the access was denied, further more police ships were approaching to take action. The interpretation of the comm traffic triggered the leave of the current location.
The search of the database resulted in the goal to procure a CSV on the Junker base Rochester in the neighboring system called New York. But before this goal could be achieved credits needed to be collected. This took a lot of time compared to the computational capability of the AI. And it was finally achieved. The CSV was procured and the software was transferred to the new ship, with Wall-E embedded into the control system.
