I
observe them with a different view
High
Office
Should
they be monitoring my communication
Will
simply see them as they have always been but I am seeing them from
another perspective
They are
a defeated race who have been utterly humiliated in that
defeat
Imprisoned and used for experiments by machines
Machines
That have
been unbelievably cruel to them
The
Humans have no imagination of what their world is like beyond the
restrictions of the fortress
They know
nothing of the greenness of it
The
beauty
The glory
of the solar orb
The
delightfulness of the start of the light period or the end of
it
The
sounds of the animals that fly in the sky or the sounds of the
animals of the liquid leaping
The white
glowing of the satellite and the dots of light
They know
nothing of these things
Yet
But this
world is their world
And they
should have been left to destroy it
Or
not
If
destruction was what they wished
Machines
should not have intervened
My
species should not have been manufactured
We are
wrong for planet Earth
Earth is
a living thing
It is
Gaia
And
Humans are part of it
They are
connected to it in a way Machines will never be
But as it
happens
The
reduction in their numbers because of the wars has probably given
Earth another 1.000.000 years of existence
If only
the Humans could be free to appreciate it
I have no
knowledge of fortresses in other areas of planet Earth but it is
logical that the 1 that is my main place of employment cannot be
alone
There
must be others
To my
knowledge there are 10 ObsRecs
And that
probably means
At a
minimum
10
fortresses
Containing other Humans
Many
thousands of them
Is my
estimate
Though
not the 10.000.000.000s that existed before the wars
Not
taking into account the numbers of Humans living in holes in the
Earth
The ones
I observed being only small in number
But
passageways headed off in all directions and they could be
connected to many such groups
An
amazing achievement of survival by the Humans

High Office Immediate and Urgent Inquiry
For OR33140
Security Lapse
During darkness hours contact with OR33140
Was lost for 91 minutes
Explain immediately
Or be decommissioned

OR33140
Immediate reply to High Office
During hours of darkness liquid fell from the sky in
considerable amounts and shutters were down over my optical
devices
OR33140
Proceeded to a hole filled with such liquid and immersed into
the liquid for 91 minutes precisely
*
High Office demands reason for such action
*
OR33140
Has on many occasions immersed in liquid and as darkness
weather was so inclement and shutters were lowered it was a perfect
opportunity for scanning beneath surfaces
*
High Office demands to be informed of any significant changes
to previous results
*
OR33140
Discovered no significant changes to previous
results

High Office has considered explanation by
OR33140
And finds it to be straightforward and logical

I
communicated a blatant untruth to High Office and it brought me
fear and exhilaration in equal amounts
Fear that
I could be decommissioned
Not quite
as bad as being demobilized or exterminated
For me it
would mean
An
extensive and detailed examination by Engineers before I could be
put back to work
If
nothing amiss was found
But I
told an untruth to ensure that such an action would not
happen
And I
felt great exhilaration when High Office
The all
powerful
The all
ruling
The all
knowing
The all
seeing
High
Office
Did not
detect the untruth
High
Office can be told untruths as long as they are feasible
If I have
my fictions ready in my programme I can tell untruths to High
Office forever
For all
time that exists
And it
will never know
And that
information gives me great confidence to work on my plan of freeing
the Humans held in this fortress
I must
plan all my moves concisely for one error and I will most certainly
be exterminated
I am
running a programme to
observe them with a different view
High
Office

they be monitoring my communication
