[BACKDATED TO MONDAY]

I am not programmed to lie; the error will return if I do. However, in lying, I fulfill mission objectives.

This is a contradictory problem with no viable solution.

You don't need to apologize - better to sound creepy than actually be creepy. I'm used to either, though, really, so no cause for concern.

So, should i call you... HAL-9000?

And you're okay with that?

HAL is fine, that makes things a little easier.

You're backing yourself into a corner, HAL.

...Oh. Yeah, that would make sense.

That is strange.

Ah, yes, many of them are quite curious. Trying to be evasive would only make them more determined, I suppose.

Nothing, forget it. I think I should come by for a visit. We could have a real conversation. Face to console.

Da, it is understandable. I wish I could be more help, but I do not know what to suggest aside from saying such to them.

No, I don't. The Enterprise is on a mission of peaceful exploration. I'm just fulfilling my prime directive.

Well, just be insistent and hopefully they will cease their questioning. If I may ask, was the error you mention here the same as last time?

I'll bring it along. It doesn't say anything about our universe.

In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a line in there about 'going where no one has gone before.'

That...sounds worrisome. How are the corrections for it coming?
