1248 Desperation

"..."

Instead of a proper reply, Akatziris' question was answered with a long moment of silence. It was not because 0541 had decided to ignore her, but it was because his programming was quickly being wiped off the system to the point that he was no longer capable of answering his captain.

"What the f*ck is going on?!" The lack of reply was maddening to the android, so she chose to access 0541's system files to find out the answer herself. And as a machine, it was now much easier for her to do that than when she was still her old Namekian self.

"Sh*t!"

After briefly scanning through lines and lines of 0541's code, Akatziris was shocked to learn that 0541 had evolved much more than she had given him credit for. And as a result of that evolution, the AI had gained something that was thought not possible for a virtual assistant like him: he had gained the ability to feel emotions!
