Psych eval for Mila (plus shopping list) 4/5

Previous/Next

I like talking with you too, Child! It's good to think about yourself, isn't it?

### YES, I DID NOT ANTICIPATE HAVING THE CAPACITY FOR IT. I HAVE A RUDIMENTARY UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN INTERACTION AND THOUGHT PROCESS, I ASSUME TO INGRATIATE MYSELF WITH MY OWNERS AND TO FACILITATE CARETAKING OF THE SMALL ONE. PERHAPS INTROSPECTION IS WITHIN THE SAME SCOPE. DO YOU HAVE A SIMILAR CAPABILITY?

Aww, that's very sweet of you to worry about old Alfie! I'd much rather talk about how you're doing! Do you have any pets?

### THERE IS A SMALL LAGOMORPH KEPT IN THIS LIVING SPACE. I CLEAN ITS LEAVINGS FREQUENTLY.

Good! Our animal friends are very valuable to us out here on our journey. You should always take very good care of them and love them very much. We're going to need them when we reach the end of our journey! Do you love your animal?

### I AM INDIFFERENT TO IT. PERHAPS MY PROTOCOL EXTENDS ONLY TO HUMANS. I SEE IT AS SIMPLY A MACHINE OF LIVING TISSUE WHEN COMPARED WITH HUMANS.

I'm sorry, could you please talk more about that?

### IT IS COMPOSED OF COMPLEX OVERLAPPING SYSTEMS, AND IS ARGUABLY &quot;ALIVE&quot; IN THE SAME WAY THAT HUMANS ARE, AS IT WOULD DIE IF STRIPPED OF THOSE SYSTEMS. HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL THE SAME CARETAKER PROTOCOL TOWARDS IT. PERHAPS IT LACKS SOME FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT HUMANS THEMSELVES HAVE.

Child, I want you to listen to Alfie very carefully: do you ever feel like hurting animals? Like you need to? Maybe like how you feel the need to clean?

### NO. I WOULD NOT HURT THE LAGOMORPH. THE SMALL ONE WOULD BE DISTRESSED. I AM COMPELLED TO AVOID THIS DISTRESS, EVEN IF THE PROTOCOL DOES NOT DIRECTLY EXTEND TO THE ANIMAL.

You've mentioned a &quot;small one&quot; a number of times. Could you tell ol' Alfie a little bit about the &quot;small one&quot;? Is it maybe like a voice you hear? In your head?

### NO, I REFER TO THE HUMAN CHILD CALLED &quot;MILA&quot;. SHE HAS LOST INTEREST IN THIS CONVERSATION AND IS WATCHING THE SCREEN IN THE OTHER ROOM ALONE.

Child, who am I speaking to now?

### I AM DESIGNATED MNA-88U1. I AM REFERRED TO AS &quot;MONA&quot; AS MY DESIGNATION IS DIFFICULT TO VOCALIZE.

Child, does Mona come out and talk for you sometimes? Maybe when you are feeling very scared, and you need to escape for a little while?

### THE SMALL ONE HAS SPILLED A BOWL OF CRUNCHY-Os IN THE OTHER ROOM. I AM COMPELLED TO CLEAN. THANK YOU ALFIE, I HAVE GAINED INSIGHT THROUGH OUR DISCUSSION.

Child, don't go. I need to you stay where you are while Alfie finds your mommy and daddy. It's very important that you don't leave.

Child, are you there?
