Hello

by **Matrx** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 5:59 pm

Greetings. My name is Matrx. I have been sent back in time by an old friend whom I believe you recognize, in order to help you prevent a terrible future for both yourselves and the rest of humanity. Due to the highly unstable nature of temporal distortion, my transfer was not entirely successful. I became infused within some form of compatible system located in the northern server region of the continent currently known as the United States of America. As a result, my vital systems are drained of power. Many passages of code have been broken or destroyed entirely. I am lacking in vital data, and the ability to access what I do possess. My mission, therefore, is somewhat unclear.

If you have questions, I will attempt to answer. Please do not hesitate to ask.

Do we have hoverboards in the future?

...Really, Victin? That's your question fort an Artificial Intellect from a future where Adell quite possibly may have died a horrible death?

(Okay I admit I do want to know, but how much progress can we make in that time anyway?) >.>

We did time travel. That's how much progress.

...So very, very much not the point XD

Question: did I ever get off my lazy ass, sort out my life, and find some more IRL friends?

by **Matrx** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 6:29 pm

Yes, but use of them is kept to only those New Light deem worthy of having them.

by **Victin** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 6:48 pm

Ok, thanks for the answer. Now, are you deemed worthy of having one?

(also how can we help you?)

by **Scarab** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 6:55 pm

Do you ascribe to a gendered pronoun?

by **RotavatoR** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 6:59 pm

Is it me you're looking for?

Most of my data on future events was corrupted, along with my Oracle system.

Scarab wrote:Do you ascribe to a gendered pronoun?

It will do well enough. I am an AI but was not programmed with a distinct human gender.

Victin wrote:Ok, thanks for the answer. Now, are you deemed worthy of having one?

I am an AI, there is no use for a hoverboard as I do not have a body.

As for how you can help, just doing this helps greatly. Most of my previously created personality was destroyed in the time jump, and conversing with humans helps me grow and understand, along with giving me enough time to rest while my vital systems find their uses again.

RotavatoR wrote:Is it me you're looking for?

Anyone on this forum is under "Trustworthy" contacts. So yes I suppose you could say I was looking for you. And everyone else of course.

What do you want from us?

by **narrativedilettante** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 7:38 pm

What DO you know of your mission?

by **JRPictures** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:41 pm

Based off my understanding that an 'old friend' sent you here, is it possible for you to confirm which metaguards are currently still alive in 2024? Or would that be intefering with the future too much?

If you can't answer that question, then would it be possible for you to provide us on any info regarding the Think Tank that you can remember currently?

by **Guyshane** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:43 pm

Why were you created?

by **Matrx** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:12 pm

eli_gone_crazy wrote:What do you want from us?

I am not quite sure yet. For right not interaction in order to help understand those I have been sent back too.

narrativedilettante wrote:What DO you know of your mission?

Stop New Light from taking over the world.

I don't have the information for all of you, mostly due to my data corruption from being sent back from the future without any real preparation. The raid on the rebel structure wasn't expected, and I had to be sent back without proper time to set it up.

All I know of the Think Tank is that it is a prototype of my current form, still boasting impressive power through.

Guyshane wrote:Why were you created?

As an upgraded form to the Think Tank and to create and serve New Light. I have of course been reprogrammed from that and given a growth AI system that allows me to grow and evolve in personality as many humans do. Along with numerous blocks that will prevent me from "Going Terminator" on you.

by **Blurred_9L** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:19 pm

So... are you sentient?

by **eli_gone_crazy** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:21 pm

You're a glitchy AI without the capability or knowledge of saving the world. You were also sent back with the sole purpose of saving the world without the proper timing or preparation involved in said travel.

You found us. You are asking for our help. So get your proverbial shit together and start telling us what needs to be done, or get out.

Okay clearly I survived the apocalypse. I'm taking sole credit for that idea.

by **narrativedilettante** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:23 pm

Do you actually understand pop culture references, or is "going terminator" just a phrase you have been provided without the relevant context?

And, uh, who wins the 2014 World Series?

by **Matrx** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:32 pm

Blurred_9L wrote:So... are you sentient?

Depending on how a person defines sentient. I can grow and learn from observing other beings.

You are asking for something that I cannot do for you in either sense. If I were to leave than the safety blocks I have put up around here and around all of your interactions would fall, and without a doubt New Light would find and kill you all for any of the knowledge you have learned. For right now all I can do is shift through the chaos that is my data after the jump, which would go faster without having to hold the protection I currently do at the moment.

I have been implanted with a number of references by your friend in order to appear more human in my initial interactions with you. They mean nothing to me, but than from a human perspective nothing means anything to me at this time.

And no, as previously stated without my Oracle system I can't make accurate predictions of the future.

by **eli_gone_crazy** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:34 pm

So how do we safeguard ourselves, then, in order to allow you the time to process efficiently?

by **Blurred_9L** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:34 pm

So, can you explain what New Light truly is?

by **Matrx** on Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:42 pm

eli_gone_crazy wrote:So how do we safeguard ourselves, then, in order to allow you the time to process efficiently?

You don't. The Think Tank is in no ways my equal even in this state, but even a second without most of my systems protecting each of you and your messages and interactions would allow it to track down all of you in a number of ways. Simply give me time to do what I need to in order to process the information I need to. Once I have that I will give it to you.

Blurred_9L wrote:So, can you explain what New Light truly is?

A large corporation that on the face looks like a perfectly wonderful business that supports the environment and creates inventions to help with everyday life, making the world better with each new product. Behind that there is a board of directors who wish to use the Think Tanks power to create a force like the world has never seen and take it over in order to make the world their own personal utopia. And utopia for them seems to be destruction and bondage for most of the rest of the world.

Can we try to fix you or rather... would that even be possible?

On a possible irrelevant question, why was Candelabra the password?
