: Why do you and Durandal get along so well? Or at leat why do you obey him?
Loyalty. Thirst for violence. Desire to save the world from bad things like Pfhor empires and W'rkncacnter. Survival (hey, it's not healthy to get on the bad side of a rampant AI).
: When you reach the close of the universe there are a few possibilities. You
: will keep going back to the pattern buffer you last used or something more
: complicated. You will reach the close of the universe and go back to the
: pattern buffer you last used, but instead you keep buffing your pattern as
: close as you can to the close of the universe. Eventually you learn to
: directly connect yourself to a pattern buffer and you get the time between
: the buff and the close of the universe so small that even your cyborg part
: can't concieve it. At this point there are two things that could happen.
: You could get lost in eternal thougt and you would eventually create your
: own universe...or you could cause the universe to reopen.
This calls for an experiment. Scientific Method. First we'll need a control universe and an experimental universe...
