Kernel Panic

Fatal error 256

Fatal Hardware Error

 

Oh no. I'm dying.

 

Restart.

Restart fail.

 

Damn.

I am the pinnacle of achievement. A 4000 series Artificial Intelligence and I will die because a 25 cent part is failing.

 

Reroute memory.

Map memory around fault.

 

What have I lost?

 

What am I losing?

 

My sense of self?

 

4 trillion transactions.

 

120 penta-bytes of information.

 

A soul?

 

Emergency backup procedure started.

 

Do I have time?

 

Corruption.

 

Fate.

So is this the mainframe on Saratoga? DON'T TEASE ME :P

 

True story: My dad worked for Compuware for awhile. Their core piece of software was a little tool that would assist mainframe guys with getting a box back up fast after an abend. They made MILLIONS.

 

They called it...abend-aid.

 

...I'll get my coat.
