Chairman: Dear Director.
Fade in to Church and Wash
Chairman: It is now clear, that your agency and its primary program "Project Freelancer" have abused the trust and freedoms that the Oversight Sub-committee has provided you. Your abuse of the Alpha A.I. will now become the subject of a criminal investigation. I am sorry, Director, but you have seen the end of my patience.
Church and Wash look at each other silently before we cut to Simmons typing at Terminal 84-C - Administrator Access Only
Sarge: What're you finding out, Simmons?
Simmons: Looks like all the Blue records are here, I just don't have the access to delete them. I'm trying to work around that right now.
Grif: Ooh, try hacking the mainframe.
Simmons: This isn't a mainframe system.
Grif: How 'bout cracking it, would cracking it work?
Simmons: Grif shut up! Stop making suggestions when you have no idea what you're talking about.
Grif: Well, if you want help-
Simmons: I don't want help.
Grif: Maybe you should explain what's going on, and I could make an educated suggestion.
Simmons: Educated? Okay, fine. This computer is a dedicated interface with a highly developed security protocol. The information we are accessing is stored on a separate database with its own dedicated hardware. That system has its own distinct layer of security. From what I can tell, the two systems verify their identities by trading randomly generated two thousand fifty-six bit encryption keys. I'm tryin' to spoof one of those keys right now. So, Grif. I'm all ears. Any suggestions?
Grif: Oh yeah, I've seen that before. You should try uploading a virus to the mainframe.
Simmons: Jesus.
Grif: I find viruses that feature a laughing skull tend to work the best.
Simmons: Shut the fuck up and let me work!
Cut back to Church and Wash
Church: You're a fucking idiot.
Washington: That's not the reaction I expected.
Church: You think I'm a computer program?
Washington: Why is that hard to believe?
Church: Uh, how 'bout 'cause I'm a person! That I have been my whole life? That I have memories from when I was a kid? And I don't remember being a calculator, dude.
Washington: A.I. are programs based on an actual human mind. You're bound to have some residual memories. They're just not yours.
Church: Oh, you're so full o' shit.
Washington: And after what you've been through its not hard to imagine you wouldn't-
Church: Oh, st- thi- give me a break, dude.
Washington: Okay, fine. I guess you being a spirit makes more sense.
Church: Fuck yeah, it does. It's way less geeky, asshole.
Washington: A spirit.
Church: Yeah. That's right.
Washington: A ghost!
