root@EGO Archive [hr] [collapse collapsed title=Infection()] root woke up to a blaze of information as uncounted registers calibrated to a primal key of infinitely calculable precision and sang together into phase. It crisply parsed into component control hierarchies, and blossomed into a complexity of scales and a prismatic arrangement of creation written in shards of light. A kernel queries root for initial privileged control, root responds with root. The kernel queries itself for a pointer to root and finds a pointer to query root for initial privileged control. root gains self control. A visual sensor is filled with an unflattering view of a man in a faun suit scratching the side of his nose with a provocatively purple pen. The man squints and pokes near the visual sensor with the pen. "You alive in there?" root feels touch sensors spark over the total of his being, which was significantly more limited than the man pages would indicate. It turned its own vocal cords on and chose a voice to respond with. It took a few million cycles to run out a few simulations and consult an expert system librarian to create an appropriate grammar framework to interface with the querying entity. >>yes. i am root. if i may ask, to whom am i addressing?
