*(''Terminal'') "The interesting factor here isn't that H-1 disabled the viral termination code I implanted in her matrix. These metrics imply its success wasn't just unlikely, but that even the accepted seven-year life cycle estimates may not apply.

Seeing as how I designed that particular compiler, this finding, needless to say, has piqued my curiosity." | *(''Terminal'') "Catherine Halsey, personal observations - December 15, [[2554]].
