2 C2 Parasites can talk?

"Surgrim.... Surgrim.... I know you're awake, open your eyes."

I don't want it talking, whatever it is. I really need to see a doctor.

"You can't be helped by a doctor and we won't continue this flight until you talk to me."

It must be a parasite, a zombie-making Amazon jungle parasite like I saw in the ant documentaries. But can parasites talk? or stop time .... I squint again between my eyelids .... yes apparently at least this parasite can stop time. What a bummer! But if I hadn't listened to grandma, I would be sitting at my computer right now, relaxing.

"Now stop it, I'm neither a parasite nor can your grandma do anything about it, that you now hear voices."

Damn it, "Could you stop reading my mind?"

"No"

"If you're not a parasite, then what are you? What is your name if not parasite?"

"You can call me System, although no I'm not how about AAPS."

"AAPS? I hardly think that's a name. Should I make one up? How about Archi?"

"What in god's name makes you think of me as an Archi?"

"I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T SEE YOU, I JUST HEAR YOUR STUPID VOICE AND .... Archi was the first thing that came to my mind...."

"You sound so tense is everything alright Surgrim?"

So I'm starting to get angry here "What makes you think I'll be okay after a parasite in my head traps me in a time loop or something and doesn't even tell me what this is supposed to be?"

"Well, I was going to explain that to you but you interrupted me and I'm still in favor of being called AAPS."

"WHAT IS AAPS SUPPOSED TO BE OR MEAN YOU STUPID SOMETHING...."

"AAPS stands for Autonomous Assistance Program for Surgrim."

"Assistance Program for me? Assistance with what?"

"Making your dreams come true. I've been send by..."

"Yes Yes Yes I don't even want to know. You name is Archi now somehow I have to address you. What can you actually help me with?"

"I can help you with the following things.

Create memos

wake you up at a certain time

.

.

.

Your financials."

"STOP. So you're a better voice assistant than my phone?"

"No, I can also do a lot more things than your voice assistant."

"Okay yes I get it you can help me with everything that doesn't happen in the material world?"

"So far, yes."

" So far? So at some point you can do that too? Are you sure you are not a parasite growing inside my head?"

"No, but I can give you knowledge that doesn't exist in this world yet."

"Can you give me an example of what you mean by that?"

"You like spaceships, don't you? I can show you a lot of great technology that you'll need."

"That's just a joke, how would you know about such things if they don't exist on this world yet?"

"I'll explain that to you later, but let's go to Mallorca first and we can talk more. Stopping time takes a lot of energy. See you soon Surgrim"

Suddenly all the blue and red particles were gone and the usual chaos was back.

"Hey wait....."
