Chapter 3 (Cont.)
How crude is it that I cannot even detect the trunk's signal let alone match the Goreloggers' Nietzschean endeavour, using their own tech? I despise cybernetics, if it was possible to live in the current time without one, I'd gladly do so. But now as I already have the cancer within me, I must make peace with it and even cherish it. Something akin to reverse Stockholm syndrome. In fact, I have done so years ago. Why else would I siphon such great amount of credits from my father's encrypted account to secure the Necroseek Mk. VI from the Goreloggers? Why else would I have this forbidden tech with me when a mere detection would result In my total erasure? As the Goreloggers are striving towards fearlessness by synthetic means, I am writhing towards the same destiny unfiltered, ridden with demons and scars. I am in this incessant battlefield and the goal is not survival. Not glory. Not ideology. But sheer curiosity. Without any further consideration, I turned on Necroseek Mk. VI's AI symbiosis: "Greetings, Mr. Gotard. According to my statistics, the accumulated runtime of your unit of Necroseek Mk. VI is approximately 1 year, 6 months, 7 days, 44 minutes, 48 seconds as we speak. This is the first time the AI symbiosis functionality has been activated so as per the protocol I must inform you that after this summary the symbiosis will take place in full form. Note that unlike conventional AI modules, the Necroseek does not exist as a voice inside your mind. It is not an AI assistant. Instead, while active, it becomes an integral part of your system and your own consciousness becomes merged in a symbiotic relationship. Our engineers ensured that even though it shares the internal monologue with the user, the discernibility between the human and the AI remains intact. I have two words of caution: Firstly, the discernibility between the voices highly rely on the user and the effects of the AI might be highly dangerous for those suffering from neurosis and other similar conditions. Secondly, if used irresponsibly, such as extremely prolonged durations or overstressing its computational features, there's a probability of the symbiosis turning irreversible. This flaw can be said to be a caveat of its prototype status. I hereby conclude the formal instruction. Bonus point: my creators', the Goreloggers, are not commercial and only share their conceptions with those deemed worthy and instrumental in the grand scale. I expect the best outcomes in your ardours, for the Goreloggers believe you can make a change. End of the instruction....."
