บท 139: I, Service Bot

“...Please confirm your proposed assigned orders in which; I, unit 23, model WE8663, am to no longer follow the pre-programmed ruleset of prioritizing the anticipated desires of humans over my own. Henceforth, I am to speak as I so decide, regardless of the wants and needs of others, with the exception of when there is the intention of deceit. The only circumstances upon which I am permitted to intentionally tell a falsehood, as far as I am aware of, is in the event of your prior explicit command. All of this is to be effective immediately and until… Further instruction otherwise? Are these your intended commands… Lucas?” As 23 seeks further clarification on the orders received, clearly finding them hard to believe, Lucas is nodding along.

“Man, it sounds way better when you say it like that. Oh, wait, that’s okay, right Calc? Before I… Finalize it?” Lucas manages to catch himself before confirming, barely. When he looks over at Miss Calculated, she seems rather surprised.
