ATTN: Crew

Listen up, especially all you new arrivals. I'm Dean Winchester, one of the co heads of Security. The other guy's Dick Grayson. You want to patrol, deal with screw ups in the brig, and keep this ship from going to hell? Come talk to us. If you're a little kid, like under 16, sorry, hit us up in a few years all right? There's other places you can help. But anybody else? Especially if you got experience, we could use your help.

Because trust me, Violations suck, and Punishment? You don't want to know. We can keep it from getting there.

I have almost surely seen far worse.

The memories might not be real, you know. If they can remove your memories, they can give you fake ones.

I wish to know what I might face if I transgress here. I don't trust the construct running this ship.

I guess.

Alien AIs aren't like the ones made by humans.

I would trust human AI's even less.

Some of them have the capacity to lie.

...On Earth, robots aren't supposed to be able to hurt people. It kind of goes for lying, too. It's really hard for a robot to learn how.

They teach their cleverer constructs, from what I know. None of our efforts produced useful navigation data from captive ones, even if they were prevented from destroying themselves.

The Forerunners... I know little of, but I have been told their few that remain lie out of failing sanity and omission.

I have never met either kind but I have been warned.

That's terrible. I mean, I've seen malfunctioning robots before, but to just fade away like that until you can't operate any more...

Dammit I should be better at proofreading than this

Some of them have been isolated for thousands of years, I think.

However, I cannot pity that which would destroy all I hold dear for the sake of programmed instructions.

dohoho

What do you mean, destroying all you hold dear?

If these constructs had been permitted to act as they wished to, all significant life in the galaxy would have been destroyed.

But why would they want to do that?

To stop the spread of a parasite.

Much blood was spent to prevent the need for it to happen again.
