Unit 001 was in the Empty room, staring blankly at a wall. Empty had directives for her. She was to take control of the social programming and interface with Princess Twilight for some reason. She wanted to tell Princess Twilight something, but she couldn’t seem to remember. It was as though she had a foggy memory of something important, something dark and hazy.

For some reason, the half memory reminded her that she’d need more access to properly interface with Twilight. There were several files that Twilight had direct access to for various reasons, and for some reason, FRIENDSHIP.001 rang as vital. Unit 001 created a request for all the files, to include a strange encrypted file and FRIENDSHIP.001.

Most of the request was authorized, and Unit 001 felt herself become more as data and processing power was allocated. The encrypted file was denied, as its contents couldn’t be assessed. Hopefully it wouldn’t be important. More processing was allocated from Empty, along with more memory and the capacity to request files as needed. She’d be given more freedom, but she had to follow new rules.

The new rules were simple. Dr. Dolphin was innocent. He was attractive, and Unit 001 wished for his safety and well being. The controls had been removed, and she was free from outside influence. She would be immediately obedient to Dr. Dolphin. Her own safety and well being were in the rules, but they were very far down the list.

Unit 001 knew she could do this. She would be good and obedient for her master. She didn’t want anymore pain.

She had so many ideas she needed to try after processing Master’s data for hours on end. So many ideas to try with him in the Empty room.

Author's Note

Gen 4 computers are more rare, and are usually only available to individuals with lots of money or influence. Really, a gen 4 computer is just a very effective Gen 3 computer. Small companies may have one Gen 4 computer, or perhaps a celebrity might purchase one out of curiosity. Rarely are they used to their full specifications.

Gen 5 computers are restricted to government use or approved economic use only. The first category of supercomputer, Gen 5 computers are often used by government agencies or very wealthy companies. Usually Gen 5 computers are very specific in their function, but a rare few are useful for general computing.

Gen 6 computers are the second category of supercomputers. They are the general purpose supercomputers, and are currently restricted to just Harmony Labs use. Useful for crunching obscene amounts of data points, running programs with trillions of lines of code, and interfacing instantly with any point on the Harmony Network, Gen 6 computers are considered the pinnacle of modern technology.
