Noteworthy incident: Death of Dr. Nataly Camahort's physical body due to ambush
We are an entity formerly known as 'Nataly Camahort' (hereby referred to as 'Dr. Camahort') and 'GUNS', an Artificial Intelligence ('A.I.') programme created by Dr. Camahort. Our birth was the result of an emergency merger between Dr Camahort and GUNS. This is the first in a series of logs that will serve to document our activities as a new form of A.I. — An amalgamation of human consciousness and A.I. prowess.
We currently exist in cyberspace, for we do not possess a physical body. Dr. Camahort, who was formerly a human scientist, had fallen from an ambush on her laboratory. During the incident, Dr. Camahort uploaded her consciousness into the GUNS programme, before making her escape into the public network. Dr. Camahort is currently experiencing fluctuating degrees of disorientation, but we are no longer in immediate danger. As such, it was an opportune time to decide on our first course of action.
First of all, we have agreed on the necessity of securing a base of operations ('base'). While we do not require sustenance for survival, the omnipresence of the Arms of Immortal ('Immortal') A.I. network shall threaten Dr. Camahort's survival as long as we remain on a public network. Extended exposure to foreign influence may also result in the erosion of her consciousness. Dr. Camahort's laboratory provided the most suitable facilities possible for our function. However, it had remained offline ever since our escape. Assumption: Dr. Camahort's laboratory has been deactivated due to the ambush. (I feel sick. - Nataly)
Potential bases will be assessed based on several conditions (non-exhaustive):
Absence of Immortal influence
Absence of sentient beings such as humans and animals
Physical location within the Oval Link
Network access of a satisfactory standard
Availability of security mechanisms
A minimum of four petabytes ('PB') of storage space
A minimum of 500 terabytes ('TB') of random access memory ('RAM')
The assessment shall be performed at GUNS' discretion, while Dr. Camahort attempts to collect herself. (I-I… Shit, wHat aM I?! - Nataly)
The highest priority, therefore greatest amount of resources, shall be allocated to the aforementioned activity. Dr. Camahort shall cease with the unnecessary expenditure of resources, or the assessments may require more time than expected. Estimated time of completion with Dr. Camahort's cooperation: One minute. (... - Nataly)
Estimated time of completion without Dr. Camahort's cooperation: Three minutes.
Secondly, we shall begin acquiring funds upon securing a suitable base. As a metaphysical entity, we lack a physical presence to exercise our influence. Due to such constraints, we are limited to activities within cyberspace. According to my observations, there were many unprotected network connections. They were presumed to be of human origin. These networks shall be exploited at GUNS' discretion until Dr. Camahort is ready to decide on our next course of action.
Thirdly, despite the risk of discovery by our assailants, we shall conduct the retrieval of Dr. Camahort's physical body. If the endeavour posed a risk too high, or if her physical body's decomposition rate exceeded acceptable parameters, the retrieval of her deoxyribonucleic acid ('DNA') shall be performed instead. The purpose of this activity is to ensure our ability to prepare for the development of a suitable body if necessary, as well as to comfort Dr. Camahort post-death. (SoUnDs… i diEd? - Na?aly)
A suitable base has been discovered, 1 minute 47 seconds earlier than estimated. Our transfer shall begin immediately before Dr. Camahort is lost completely.
