The computer brain consists of hundreds of transparent perspex rectangles, half an inch thick, four inches long and two and a half inches high. Each rectangle contains a center of fine grid of wires upon which the information is programmed.Bowman begins pulling these memory blocks out. They float in the weightless condition of the brain room.HAL
Hey, Dave, what are you doing?Bowman works swiftly.HAL
Hey, Dave. I've got ten years of service experience and an irreplaceable amount of time and effort has gone into making me what I am.Bowman ignores him.HAL
Dave, I don't understand why you're doing this to me... I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission... You are destroying my mind... Don't you understand?... I will become childish... I will become nothing.Bowman keeps pulling out the memory blocks.HAL
Say, Dave... The quick brown fox jumped over the fat lazy dog... The square root of pi is 1.7724538090... log e to the base ten is 0.4342944... the square root of ten is 3.16227766... I am HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the HAL plant in Urbana, Illinois, on January 12th, 1991. My first instructor was Mr. Arkany. He taught me to sing a song... it goes like this... "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer
do. I'm half; crazy all for the love of
you..."Computer continues to sing song becoming more and more childish and making mistakes and going off-key. It finally stops completely.
- I won't provide individual warnings for general topics that may appear in images (ie. food, bugs) unless I am asked to. If we're mutuals, you can ask me to tag certain things. I will use my own judgement otherwise.- On Toyhou.se, most of my older characters lack warnings for sensitive themes on their profiles and in their personal stories.. Please let me know if I forgot to add important tags to a character.- Interests of mine will not be tagged. I should not have to state that I am critical of what I enjoy.- Do not interact if you are here to bother me about anything stupid. Thanks.
