[ charles is visibly distressed when he appears on the screen, this time. he's in what seems to be some underground facility, and there are other faces behind him—notably collette, emma, galadriel, raven, and others. his eyes remain closed for a second and you can hear him take a deep breath. then: ]

We have... borrowed a gentleman by the name of Richard Lawson...—from the United Earth. He is a cabinet member of the President's. Yes, the President of the United Earth. [ charles clears his throat, steels himself. ]

We've learnt a great many things about the United Earth from his head, and we feel it best to share that information with all of you, here on the Network.

[ charles states the next words with a heavy voice. ]

The President of the United Earth is not human. "He" is—artificial. Artificial Intelligence, or what you would call an A.I.. The United Earth... has never seen his face, as far as we have deduced.

We will try to answer questions about what we have learnt to the very best of our ability, but do be patient. Ah—[ he closes his eyes again, considering. then he nods as though he's made the right decision and he knows it. ]

That is all.

Yeah, pretty much what I was hoping I was wrong about. An AI would have a hard time with creativity of any kind, even if it can learn. But [Eyebrow] who's Dick?
whatsupcroc: (☇ laugh: you thought that'd work!?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-10-09 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Richard! Mr. Lawson.

[personal profile] strategic_guile 2012-10-09 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't met that person, yet. [A soft sigh and he brushes his hair out of his face.] There are a lot of people here and it's going to take a while to meet them all.
whatsupcroc: (◆ smile: really you look good)

[ Her lips quirk up. ]

I'm not sure when we next will see him, honestly. The Initiative did take him away and all... but they say it's not going to be for bad reasons. We'll have to hold them to that, that's all.
strategic_guile: (Sadness is a temporary condition)

[There's a bit of a sad hint to his smile at her words.] Maybe we'll see him sooner rather than later.
whatsupcroc: (☇ smile: I know you tried)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-10-09 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. I really do.
strategic_guile: (I need a pimp chair for this shit /o/)

[personal profile] strategic_guile 2012-10-09 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[He is so not going to bust her bubble. Poor kid. He gives her a grin.] Well, I'll see you around after all the excitement over the news dies down.
whatsupcroc: (◆ amused: trust me you've got no idea)

[ She gives him a smart salute! ]

Until then, Blaine!
