Chapter 050: My Own Terroa
================================

"Anyways, is your name really Cortana and it was not just any kind of code for the protocol?"

Cortana displayed a confused look, "Sir, as soon as I woke up for the first time from hearing your voice, I have always known my name was Cortana and not anything. If I am to classify myself into a single category that you can understand, then my core programming says that I am an entity just like a part of your own liver."

In front of Rex was the ceiling. But Cortana was in front of him as if they met in the streets and she was standing there in front of him, having a normal conversation.

He creased his brows trying to understand how to interpret that but since he also understood that she was just 'literally' basing her own responses from his own way of thinking, he realized that he just had to stake his patience here.

Right now, Cortana is in a learning curve so it is just going to be a matter of time before she could really converse with him just like a normal AI.

If he had to actually classify Cortana, then she is just like an infant with a pretty grown up face.

"I don't really know that but I get what you mean."

The most noticeable functions of The Warden Console were its adaptive capability and its smart organizer functionality. And it was all made so to suite his needs and provide advices to better his style of living.

But figuratively, Rex also knew that Neth wouldn't just send him a talking organizer because there are many of such apps and gadgets in the market available for the taking (although AG wouldn't let him do so) so he knew that there must be more than just these superficial functions to Cortana.

He then thought to the message his dad told him.

"The Warden is an external program that serves as a firewall for Terroa. And right now, I am [The Warden] and Cortana is my main guideline and assistant, while the [Console] is my tool to be able to use [Cortana]."
>>> AN: this is a confusing grammar technique: [Cortana] is referred to as an object while 'Cortana' is referred to as a person/entity <<<

As he was murmuring, he checked the list of the abilities of Cortana while he pondered deeper on the functionality of this [Warden Console] the way he understood it from his father's explanation.

"Dad has Terroa to protect that's how he could function. He said that Terroa is currently [Locked] so Cortana and [The Console] is now useless. It was the reason why he sent them to me to be able to be used... I seem to be missing something very important here..."

He continued to dedicate one part of his mind to thinking about this while the other part studied and organized the different abilities of [Cortana] according to his own use.

"Oh?" at one moment, he saw a very familiar and very useful function in the abilities list. "Cortana, can you tell me the limits and scope of ability of your [Scan] function?"

Cortana's reply was prompt. She was learning.

"Sir, according to my reference archive, my [Scan] function has the same capabilities as the «Item Identifier» back in Terroa, with an added capability of utilizing the full package functionality of The Warden Protocol."
