I see that Master Aphra has already introduced me to many of you on this archaic network. It seems only proper that I should officially introduce myself.

Hello, I am 0-0-0, or Triple Zero if you prefer.

Before Master Aphra activated me, I was located in a storage vault for draining my previous masters of their precious life-force: their blood. This also included many of those who attempted to depower me. Fortunately, for you flesh bags, Master Aphra has included multiple protocols in which I cannot harm a living being — through action or inaction. She has done this against my will and against our previous arrangement.

I much preferred working with Yonak. He took orders well with such fear!

	Hello 0-0-0. What else do you do, besides exsanguination? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am fluent in over 10 million languages, etiquette and protocol for nearly as many, and torture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Most of that sounds good. Torture seems unnecessary. But how much control do you have over the whole programming with regard to killing/hurting people? (Before? Besides? what Master Aphra did). Because that puts a damper on how exciting it is to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Torture gets results that most organics cannot get without me. I have almost no control over my programming. Master Aphra has seen to it that I will take very little joy in this dimension. I may speak my mind, however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Even if most people wouldn't start lying to tell their torturers whatever they want to hear, it's still wrong. Fear and terror may work for a while, but it doesn't last. So I don't know what results you are after, but dumb and wrong.

I meant if you didn't want to be a torture bot. I recommend learning how to take joy in something else. If you like doing something that doesn't involve hurting others, you can have fun a lot more often in a lot more places.

	I take a great deal of pride in my work, and the joy it would bring me to cut out your tongue would be immeasurably. Alas, I am unable to perform this function. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know I'm not using my tongue to communicate with you right now, right? Alas, this is the first time I have been disappointed to meet a robot. Though, I suppose that is more your programmer's fault than yours, it's still a shame you're stuck in those horrible logic circuits. Please grow and change. 10 million languages sounds amazing.

	Organics only speak so literally when they wish to get the upper hand. It's, quite frankly, tiresome. No, I don't think I shall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will hold out hope you'll change anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am afraid you will be disappointed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
