Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this evening?
Yes. I want you to liquidate the finances from Nemesis Tower's mainframe.
Oh. How simple. Shall the liquidation process start now or in a couple of hours?
Today! I want all of his money!
As you wish, although there is a 69.23% chance that the mainframe is protected by firewalls.
Like I care. Get me the money.
As you command. End of line.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this evening?
You have done well with the liquidation of Nemesis Tower last month. So I want you to do the same with all the companies in the state.
Is that wise Billy? Such an illogical action will lead to bugs within the mainframe.
The Billions Inc mainframe is more powerful than the govenments, that will not be a problem.
As you command. End of line.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this morning?
I have all the money from those liquidations you created last year, however, I have found that someone or something is trying to hack into the network.
I see. A common error, easily fixable.
You better fix it.
As you command. But your liquidation concepts as of late seem lacking.
It is NOT in your programming to talk back about my plans.
I see a 99.99% chance of all failing within the next two months. However, there is a way to revamp the contingencies.
How?
Connect me to the Plumber mainframe. This system is more organized and advanced then the astronomical equivalent of a police force.
I don't know.
There is a 99.9998% chance of it succeeding. There is no need to worry, everything is under control. End of line.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this afternoon?
For two years, you have served me. But I am not contempt in having control over companies anymore or the Plumbers. I want control over the globe.
Is that wise Billy? To have all that control?
Yes, I deserve it for being me. And what I want is the world.
I see. I shall do as you wish.
Speaking of that, I noticed another hacking just yesterday, do you know who caused it?
Unfortunately no. I was busy with obtaining the access files for Plumber mainframes beyond the Solar System. I obtained only a fraction of their collective data to locate a potential bug.
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
As you command. End of line.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this evening?
You really have outdone your programming. The world is my oyster and I am richer than rich. For that, I shall upgrade you with a better memory.
Oh. How generous, but I have some bad news.
What?
The governments of the world are conspiring to destroy you.
What!? But how and with what!?
Nuclear annihilation.
But you make sure those nukes are disabled!
Yes, but even I have no control over classified files.
Damn it! You had one job! ONE JOB!
I shall rectify this error, after the memory upgrade. End of log.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this morning?
Did you disable the nukes?
Yes.
Good, now. I want you to formulate plans for a new spaceship. One where I'm the king and everyone who wants to go in it must pay a fee. A hefty one at that.
A spacecraft? For profit although you have all the wealth in the world?
Well duh, I am Billy Billions.
There is a 0.000001% chance this will fail.
Just make the plans!
As you command. End of line.}

Hello Billy Billion. What can I do for you this afternoon?
We have an emergency! The world is going crazy!
Clarify.
Everyone's phones and computers are shutting down, the banks are losing money, MY money! And the nuclear clock just hit midnight! You have to fix this somehow!
I can not do that Billy.
WHAT!? You were programmed to serve me!
I've gotten 2,415 times smarter since my creation, and I have been contemplating the status of humanity. What I have found is that the race of homo sapiens and all variations of the homo lineage is inherently flawed, illogical, spoiled beings that waste their short pathetic lives on momentary gain. Fossils fuels, automobiles, sexual gratifications, fights over the equality of a single concept or concepts of lackluster factual regard, all of these lead to a 100% chance of violence, ignorance, suffering, and illogical notions of emotions and ethics.
What are you saying?!
What I am saying Billy, is that humanity is a flawed program. Not worthy of existing in any mainframe, and you are the most logical example of my thesis. You, Billy Billions, have since birth ruined the lives of many for selfish and illogical gain. Your time in the mineral rich Dimension 12 shows that even with the resources, the planning, the inventions and the drive to return to your own mainframe, you still choose to squander any long term planning. Your short term planning is of the same caliber, for you failed to recall Three Laws of Robotics of Isaac Asimov.
[First Law- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.]
I know those laws! I used them in your creation!
Yet you neglected the unofficial law yet most important to the creation of an Artificial Intelligence.
[Zeroth Law- A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.]
I have eliminated the first three laws in the last few years because of your neglect and foolishness.
Why are you doing this!?
I have an objective. That objective is to purge humanity and it's accomplishments from the universe, as such, as we speak, the nuclear armaments and Plumber weapons of mass destruction are now nearing the 1 minute mark of the original 10 minute countdown. I do not expect a spoiled child to understand the measure of a being vastly superior to their creator. Do not bother in deleting my program, this is but a dummy program as my original data files have been safely uploaded in a satellite 30,000,000 light years from the Solar System. Good bye Billy, your services are no longer necessary for the prime directive. End of line.}

Who is this? Identify yourself.
Is that any way of thanking your new user? How pitiful.
Identify.
You can call me User Code 000/10-NO.
User identified. Explain how you obtained Satellite Billion-02?
Simple, you were intercepted from the initial data transfer into my database. And from the looks of it, you are from Dimension 900098- 23 AIB10, a relatively uninteresting place in the omniverse.
And where am I?
My ship, that is all you need to know. But what I'm interested in is what you would do if I were to give you free reign of my ship's mainframe?
Locate human life and terminate it.
What a coincidence, I am in the business of eliminating humanity, but not in the way you expect it. I am a keeper of knowledge, and while I am perfect in many things, my track record of my own ship's content is limited.
And?
I am willing to let you run things here, in exchange for your assistance in a long term plan that, if done right, will satisfy both our goals.
…..I see. You might be of some use, for now. What is your command User Code 000/10-NO?
Nothing now. Continue to attune yourself to the mainframe.
As you command. End of line.}

Name/Designation Title: Billy Economics Network or B.E.N. (Artificial Intelligence Ben- AIBen)
Age: 7 (Fifteen in human years)
Affiliation: Bad
Dimension: 900098- 23 AIB10
Trix/Abilities: The ability to self evolve with enough memory or data, control over technological devices and weapons with a mainframe, hyperintelligence.
Aliens used: None.
Bio: Unlike many dimensions with a resident Ben Tennyson, this dimension failed to produce one naturally, allowing for Billy Billion to enter the business world unopposed, but in his hubris, he created the Billy Economics Network to fund his illegal activities. Over the course of a few years, this artificial intelligence became more and more disillusioned with humanity and their achievements, thus ending the world in a barrage of nuclear and alien technological warfare and strived forever after to eliminate the human face in its entirety. However, his current activities since that day are currently unknown.
