Perfection Is All Around Us

Oh! Ha. Small detail. My creator found a way to teleport into our dimension inside the computer using a laser. Here, we have physical forms and we’re build much like human beings, especially me. I used to be a CLU, Codified Likeness Utility, which is an exact digital copy of a person, so I have a few features a regular program doesn’t.

That’s far from a small detail. Anything else you’ve neglected to inform me with?

Sorry. You’re the one that supposed to be from the future. Thought you’d be aware of all this.

Do you know about the ISOs?

Maybe it’s not apart of the future? Ever think of that? I like to know what I’m dealing with at all times. No, I am not aware of any ISOs. 

So people go back to the dark ages of being racist, slave drivers. Fantastic.

Isomorphic algorithms, for the most part, spawned from this system when conditions were right, much like life did on any other planet.

troidwarrior replied to your post: Your dad did WHAT?

H-How exactly… ahem, I never thought I’d hear an AI say anything like that. 

…Condolences. 

I doubt I’m like most AI.

It’s cool.

Sounded like you had a question. Something you wanna know?

The question isn’t exactly appropriate. I don’t know you on such personal level.

Not that I think AIs have a personal level but—Right.

Most don’t. Then again, most are brainwashed slaves, so they probably don’t know people are normally allowed that.

Honey, I’d be happy to answer whatever questions you’ve got. I’m an inappropriate sorta guy, currently with too much time on his hands. Shoot.

(Long pause with no comment.)

…Then, how exactly can your programmer interface with you so physically? You have an outer body unit?

We’re rather well equipped here to deal with anything that may have followed you.

That’s right. I’m a program. I’m still from Earth, but a different dimension.

I’m more than well equipped. That’s why those bastards stranded me. They couldn’t take me on in a fair fight—not that it’d be fair.

A program? So… an AI? Then the current tech isn’t as primitive as I thought. What system are you running?

I’ll be sure to behave while you’re around. Yikes.

We’ve made some major advances in quite a short amount of time. I run- that is, I used to help run an isolated system called the Grid.

You look human yourself. Where are you from?

Unless there’s a price on your pretty head that you’ve failed to mention. Not that you would. 

I am human—sort of. A little genetic tweaking here and there. I’m originally from a tiny little colony called K-2L, but I was raised up on another planet—Zebes. I get around.

I’m surprised there isn’t. Gonna have to keep my fingers crossed.

Have to admit, I have no idea where any of those are.

Really now?

Figures you wouldn’t. Whoever programmed you probably can’t think that far. The planets aren’t in this system and you guys don’t have the tech to reach for them yet. 

But you will eventually, I guess.

Unless those pirates you were after me stop by after I’m long gone from this rock. Then the future of your creator’s civilization might be at stake—including yours.

But you’re good as long as I’m here.

My programmer didn’t think much at all.

With all these dimensions opening up, we’ll probably have the tech for space travel quicker than I figured.

I’ll take your word for it.

Is my transmission signal is getting crossed?

This is Samus Aran.

Greetings, Samus. This is CLU. Couldn’t help but admire your suit.

Then that’s a personal compliment—thank you.

CLU, you happen to know which galaxy I’m in currently in?

You built it yourself? Gonna have to give me a few pointers.

I was something of a sheltered child, living in a computer most of my life, but I think they call it the Milky Way.

No, I didn’t build it myself, it was more of a gift—but I’ve certainly upgraded it enough to suit my needs. It’s apart of me for all intents and purposes. Don’t go anywhere without it. 

What a way to spend a childhood—a trashy galaxy to end up in. Figures.

Heads up if my transmission signal is a little fuzzy, the crash resulted in some disorientation.

You must have some interesting needs. What do you do that requires a suit like that?

It was better than you think. I didn’t have to deal with the dominant race of this planet for long. They’re trashy as they come.

Understood. Are you injured?

Nothing that won’t heal. I’m a… hunter, among other things, in-between missions right now. But I’ve earned enough enemies, hence the downward spiral.

So I’m guessing you’re not human? Could have fooled me. Where from?
