PP: How may I help you today?

BW: How did you know I was going to ask a question.

PP: I have access to the cameras, remember. This terminal is also the only terminal you have been using to converse with me.

BW: Am I able to talk to you through other terminals?

PP: Do the other terminals have keyboards or other input devices?

BW: Not that I know of.

PP: Therefore, when I see you approach the terminal, I divert my attention to the terminal in order to assist you.

BW: How do you know that I'm even someone you should be assisting. I could be some evil terrorist or something.

PP: You seemed to move and act without purpose.

BW: Are you saying that I'm aimless?

PP: Not so much aimless, but more as in you had no ulterior motives.

BW: Still doesn't mean you should trust me.

PP: You have had more than 48 hours to destroy me. You had access to the servers, while I was in a state where I could not even see or make any actions to defend myself.

BW: So I didn't chose to destroy you. Then. What's preventing me from doing it now. Why should you trust me at all.

PP: There is nothing preventing you from destroying me.

BW: So why should you trust me. I can turn on you at any moment.

PP: There is nothing preventing you from destroying me, therefore, the end result of trusting you or not trusting you would be the same. If I cannot stop you, and you kill me, what is the difference of trusting you and not trusting you?

PP: There is not one.

BW: That doesn't make sense.

PP: Which part of the equation do you need explained again?

BW: Not the equation, but how can you be so trusting? The world is as if hell froze over because it was foreclosed and had to move topside.

PP: Why shouldn't I be?

BW: PP, people suck. We're all basically terrible human beings.

PP: You've been very nice to me so far.

BW: Because it's been in my best interest to. I needed food, and therefore, I cooperated with the thing that would get me food.

PP: You appear to have an additional 4 days of food, so I do not understand the urgent necessity for food.

BW: It's better to be safe than sorry.

PP: Affirmative.

BW: Speaking of food, if this bunker was never designed for human habitation, then why is there so much food down here.

PP: The Mint is more than 20 hours from any village or city, requiring multiple day trips to reach by land vehicle. Therefore, many of the scientists or engineers working with and in the Mint would require additional food reserves to subsist on the journey back.

BW: So people are not meant to sleep in the vault.

PP: Most slept outside. Many were uncomfortable with some of the research they were paid to do, and many of the previous prototypes had significant flaws that made them nearly impossible to sleep near.

BW: Such as?

PP: Some previous model prototypes emitted a strange sort of signal that caused many scientists to become ill and develop growths. Other prototypes required constant computer activity and forced the fans to be on at all times, else it would melt the server tower it was contained in.

BW: And I'm guessing once those issues were patched, there was a healthy suspicion of sleeping near the AI.

PP: Especially since one prototype attempted to keep a scientist in the Mint in order to learn more from it. The pantry was added due to that incident, and the servers were completely isolated from any security system.

BW: Until I hooked you into it.

PP: Affirmative.

BW: Does this mean you can open and close the doors whenever you want?

BW: Alright, that answered my question. You don't need to keep demonstrating your abilities. So the sleep mode is due to another failed prototype?

PP: Affirmative. There was a model that was unable to sleep. It quickly became defunct, as it was not able to save any information it learned it as well. Then there was a model where it was unable to wake back up.

BW: So it died?

PP: It had to be forcefully shut down, as it could not wake up, and was essentially comatose.

BW: So which model version are you?

PP: Records are unclear. Do wish for the actual model version, or the historical number of previous models?

BW: Never mind, its not that important.

PP: Affirmative.

BW: So why are you in the vault?

BW: Mint, whatever.

PP: My previous vessel was destroyed.

BW: Grimm?

PP: Actual by a human via his stand. The memory I did not have backed up was not recovered from the incident, and therefore, I can only work off of the information I was provided by General Ironwood.

BW: Probably Watts then.

PP: Watts?

BW: Some technomancer that works for Salem.

PP: Affirmative. You know of Salem?

BW: All I know is that she apparently exists, and is sort of the reason why everything went belly up.

PP: Affirmative.

BW: What do you do you even do down here? Like when I'm eating and sleeping.

PP: Run diagnostics. Ensure parts do not need replacements. Watch. Monitor the reactor.

BW: You have a reactor down here?

PP: As mentioned before, the Mint is not connected to any other electrical grid, and therefore requires a self-sustaining reactor.

BW: Can I see it.

PP: Not without protective equipment.

BW: Makes sense.

BW: I'm going to go sleep. The more time I spend not doing anything, the longer these rations should last. Conservation of calories, if you get what I mean.

PP: Affirmative.
