[It's a few hours after CLU had woken up--enraged, dazed, and in pain all over--in the infirmary. He'd attempted to leave earlier, once he'd awakened and found himself here, but the dizziness and general malaise that plagued him had put an abrupt halt to that.

His voice as he speaks, now, is low and incredibly angry--nearly a growl.]

Someone who prescribes to the theory that the Admiral is the AI for the ship.

[majorum_pride]

The Admiral seems to have malfunctioned long ago.

Re: Someone who prescribes to the theory that the Admiral is the AI for the ship.

[systmadmin]

Yes. It seems so.

His presence on this ship has appeared to be only detrimental. A system cannot function in the correct, proper manner with a malfunctioned operator running it.

I am a T-X series Terminator unit.

Private:

[systmadmin]

Define 'T-X series Terminator unit.'

You are not a User a human. [It's a statement because, as far as he knows, Users can't form cannons that shoot plasma out of their arms like she had. Or break bones with a mere shove.]

An autonomous combat platform, consisting of endoskeletal combat chassis and mimetic polyalloy sheath, designed for infiltration and related battlefield tasks.

I am optimised for the termination of other cybernetic organisms.

My personal designation is classified, but Elizabeth Anderson has been chosen for informal use.

Re: Private:

[systmadmin]

[He's intrigued, now.] Interesting.

Is the 'termination of other cybernetic organisms' your main directive, then?

[strangehstorian]

It may be that the vessel itself presents extraordinary difficulties.

[systmadmin]

[Could very well be, but CLU has taken to massively disliking the Admiral.]

Failure of the Admiral to overcome any 'extraordinary difficulties' that this vessel presents affirms my point. What difficulties could there be that he shouldn't be able to handle?

[strangehstorian]

Unavoidable spacial anomalies in the fabric of the dimension we're sailing through, perhaps.

[systmadmin]

Ahh, yes. Do you know with an absolute certainty that these anomalies are completely unavoidable? [To him, errors or glitches that plagued a system like this always had some sort of solution. It was just a matter of figuring out how to fix it.]

It seems absurd that the Admiral has the ability to entrap entities from other worlds or dimensions, yet is powerless to prevent these floods.

[_fredless]

[Everything's been upside down. She's immediately concerned]

Somebody attacked you?

[systmadmin]

['Attacked' is putting it lightly, but he doesn't like to admit he'd been caught off guard so badly--even if it wasn't necessarily him that'd gotten into the situation.]

Yes, a Warden. Elizabeth Anderson.

It was [short delay] during the recent flood. She shot me with some weapon.

[_fredless]

You were shot?

[That's a heck of a lot bigger word than 'attacked', despite its shortness in stature]

Are you in the infirmary now?

[systmadmin]

[Oh Creator, this is so aggravating.

It takes some minutes before he actually responds.]

Yes.

To both. [It was hard enough having been killed. But then to be stuck in a room with all these sick Users--and too weak to leave by himself--just compounds the problem.]
