"W-W-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wait a minute!" Ketis shouted in growing panic. "Aren't sentient AIs supposed to be impossible?! Ves, you taught me that no one has ever created a sentient AI! Isn't this thing called Sigrund bluffing?!"

When the lockdown lifted and the mainframe went active, the pressure it radiated steadily grew in strength, as if some formidable entity's spirituality roused itself from its slumber!
