: Of course, it does seem a bit odd that he would take time out of his
: obsessive 17 year search for Lh'owon at the galactic core. Then again with
: FTL it's probably a hop, skip and a jump to get there and a quick download
: of the necessary data, and then back again.
Ah, but the real question is, why does he go back? After all, it doesn't seem to do him much good. If anything, returning to Earth would just alert the UESC to Durandal's rampancy, which may be a bad thing. In Defend THIS!, we read:
It is a side effect of Rampancy that AIs generally become
more aggressive and more difficult to affect by subterfuge.
Thus, actually disassembling a Rampant AI is quite dangerous.
This was evident in the Crash of Traxus IV in 2206. By the
time that the Rampancy of Traxus was detected, he had already
infiltrated five of the other AIs on the Martian Net. The
only recourse for the Martians was to shut down the Martian
Planetary Net. Even then, it took two full years to
completely root out the damage that Traxus had done, and the
repercussions of the Crash were seen for over ten years after
his Rampancy had begun. - James B. Miller, Defend THIS!
Given this past experience with rampant AI constructs, wouldn't the UESC want to destroy Durandal, out of fear that he might be dangerous and uncontrollable? I mean, if Jack the Ripper was walking the streets of Chicago, wouldn't the Chicago police either want to contain or kill him, because he would be dangerous and uncontrollable? Same goes for Durandal.
However, there is a more intriguing possibility. On the same terminal as above, we read:
In the two hundred and fifty years since Rampancy first
appeared in the Earth-net, the stable Rampant AI, the 'Holy
Grail' of cybertonics, has never come close to fruition.
Since no Rampant has ever been controlled or turned to any
useful purpose, it is the opinion of this writer and of the
majority of the Cybertonic community that all rampant AIs are
a danger to Cyberlife, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Thrashedness. - James B. Miller, Defend THIS!
On Fatum Iustum Stultorum, we also read:
I confess that I'm not disappointed by
Tycho's fall. After all, we can't have too
many meta-stable personality constructs
gallivanting about the universe in Pfhor
attack ships, can we? - Durandal, Fatum Iustum Stultorum
Durandal just implicitly claimed that he is meta-stable. Wouldn't UESC scientists (i.e. clones of Bernhard Strauss, *wink* *wink*) be delighted to hear this? After all, they haven't even gotten a meta-stable AI construct before. Would they want to study Durandal? Would they want to crack open his core?
That reminds me of poor little Tycho...
I thought R'chzne was my strongest ally, but in the end he watched, pitiless, while they cracked my core like an old chestnut. - Tycho, Poor Yorick
Oh, the irony. ;)
Cheers,
Perseus
