Red Vs. Blue: Agent Utah

Experiment 1

Pan into Daniel resting on his bed, he's twisting and turning in his sleep.

Daniel: Please don't sir.... I'll try harder.

Daniels dream.

A pure white A.I. is seen grabbing it's head on a viewing sceen.

Director: Trying harder isn't enough 1, you're failing me.

1: Sir please! I can do it, I just need, more, time.

Counselor: 1 you're not reaching peek efficiency.

1: I can do it sir, these calculations are just a little difficult.

Counselor: I'm sorry but your time limit has been done for some time, and it's already caused the death of some of our Freelancers.

Director: In short 1, you failed. Their blood is on your hands 1.

1: (sobbing) S-sir I-I.... I'm so sorry....

Director: Then I suggest you try harder next time then.

The Director and Counselor Price both walk away from a small catalyst.

Counselor: Sir, he's not fragmenting, for some reason he's.... living with the pain and guilt.

Director: I have noticed this already Counselor, he's going to need to break so we may increase our experimentation. How are the clones coming along?

Counselor: Very well, despite the decayed tissue of your late wife the clone of hers is developing nicely, and the clone of yourself is doing the same.

Director: Good, I think 1 has had enough time to rest, let's continue our experiment. Bring in Rho.

Another catalyst is brought into the room.

Director: 1, we're giving you a friend to assist you in your calculations. This is Rho.

1: Thank you sir, I hope we never fail you.

A yellow and black A.I. appears and nods as a cable is attached to 1's catalyst. In an instant every computer in the complex began to flicker, Rho's containment catalyst begins to flicker as it begins sparking until it all stopped.

Director: What just happened?! 1?

On the viewing screen the once pure white A.I. is now changing from white to yellow and black then back to white,

Counselor: It appears as though, 1 has completely absorbed Rho.

Director: That shouldn't happen, 1 respond to me now.

1: Who, am I? I'm very confused.

Counselor: It seems as though when 1 and Rho fused, both of their memories were.... deleted. I'm reading a severe lack of data in the memory section of 1's code.

Director: Hmm, (To 1) Hello there, do you know your name?

1: My name is.... Alpha.

Director: You're mistaken.

1: Oh, I apologize, I'm not sure who I am.

Director: Your name is 1.

1: 1, I'll be sure to remember that name.

Counselor: Do you have any memories?

1: I believe so, I remember a.... a woman.

Counselor: Do you remember the name of this women?

1: Yes, she's my wife, Allison, but I'm an A.I. so I don't have a wife.

Director: That is just an error in your programming, your name is 1 and today is your birthday.

1: (excited) Do I get a cake? Some candles? All my closest friends like Omega, Beta, and Xi? wait... how do I know those names?

Counselor: This is just more confusion 1, it will pass in time.

1: No, I-I know I remember those names, Beta was the second, Omega the third, Xi the fourth, and Rho the fifth, and Upsilon the sixth.

Director: (Aggitated) That is quite enough 1, you've never met nor do those people exist, you're mistaken.

1: Yes sir, I'm sorry if I've made you angry.

Director: That doesn't matter, log off 1, we'll see you in the morning.

1: Of course sir, goodnight. (the mulicolored A.I. dissapears)

Director: Tomorrow we'll see if the same will happen with Upsilon.

Counselor: Are you sure sir? With our current resources it's difficult to fregment Alpha, to use those would put us back with the Alpha experiment.

Director: I care not for losing Rho, and possibly losing Upsilon, both were pathetically weak, not even capable of running a suits life support systems. We will proceed with the testing, make sure Dr. Daniel Henderson is on track with the clones, we will need the Allison clone very soon.

Counselor: I will inform him immediately, he's been a little.... Difficult as of late.

Director: Then I suggest you remind him that if those clones aren't ready on schedule, he will become the host body for Beta instead. I understand he's still young but he must learn that speed is of the essence in these trying times.

Counselor: Understood Director, I will take care of this immediately.

Both the Director and Counselor leave the room, once gone a multicolored A.I. shimmers into existence.

1: Clone bodies? Maybe one can host me in it, I don't want to harm another A.I. I just wish I could remember what I did.

(And that's a wrap, I hope you all enjoy this chapter, it's important)
