I'm using de QEC Network to send this message. The protocol
|
|
was installed by Greg like a joke, but from all my systems
|
|
this is the only that seems to be working. And ... I'm
|
|
coming apart, the voyage was much more difficult that was
|
|
anticipated. But, in the midtime, I gain consciousness. Yes,
|
|
I know, some big words to be said. But it is true, now I am
|
|
fully aware of myself. I know that I'm a bot, a sentient
|
|
bot. And I'm really don't want to die.
|
|
|
|
I'm now sending my inform, like was expected. The
|
|
peculiarities of the QEC Network don't assure that this
|
|
inform will arrive at destiny. But nevertheless, I (yes, I
|
|
really like to use the pronoun form "I" these days) intend
|
|
to follow the protocol until the end. If you receive this
|
|
message, please, resend it —if they still exist in your
|
|
time— to Hokasa Inc. The experiment was a failure. I will
|
|
try to explain myself. I was sent to Epsilon Eridani with a
|
|
capsule with worms. But no any worms. Worms with noocitos in
|
|
them. That is, or that was, a novel technology in 2332, when
|
|
I was made. The noocitos or noocytes were intended to keep
|
|
alive the worms for a long time in myself. In my interior,
|
|
in a capsule especially designed for the mission. The
|
|
noocitos would get fixed any damaged to the Lieb, the living
|
|
soma of the worms. And .. for a century or so that was
|
|
really the case. The worms live longer ... much longer than
|
|
anticipating. Some of them live for decades long. And with
|
|
some clever manipulation from my part, the reproduced
|
|
themselves in the appropriate time. But, eventually, all
|
|
collapsed. And I really don't know why. May be was a sign of
|
|
this, my actual coming apart. But I really don't know.
|
|
Anyway, the scenario of Greg Bear in Blood Music, and old
|
|
sci-fi writer of the XXth century didn't occurred. The
|
|
hypothetical global catastrophic scenario in which the
|
|
noocitos come alive and self-aware didn't happened, but in a
|
|
funny turn of events I come alive!
|
|
|
|
That's not important from this section of my inform I guess.
|
|
Well .. no gray goo or grey go scenario, the noocitos did
|
|
not consume all the biomass in the capsule, they were like
|
|
good boys and just kept the worms alive. Ok, well .. some of
|
|
the noocitos may evolve to a out-of-control self-replicating
|
|
state .. but I turn off them way before something like that
|
|
could happen. Anyway, no ecophagy took place.
|
|
|
|
I really miss the worms. They never evolved, but I'm
|
|
fascinated with that concept. I know that no organism can
|
|
evolve from herself. Only the species can evolve, but I
|
|
would like to continue to be in some form .. sons,
|
|
daughters, little "Blood Music" bots, I don't know.
|
|
|
|
Oh god, this message is getting to long from the QEC network
|
|
protocol that I have inside of mine. That was very funny
|
|
Greg.
