Back to normal. ART is content in the knowledge that it can do this forever, and Murderbot will give up eventually.
A large scale security incident, 1.2%, ART answers; because of how statistics works, it's actually higher thanks to the recent, other incidents they have been involved in. They actually are still well within reach of other ships and contact with the university, so there would hopefully not be anything too terrible. A security incident involving a small number of onboard participants with no outside influence would be 23.4%." Because... teenagers. But that could also just be a heated argument that needs An Adult.
Art's assessment is, unfortunately, correct. And Murderbot knows it, too. But for now, it's still being petty and stubborn and changing the font.
And dammit, it's risk assessment was off. (Also, ART had better not be counting Murderbot in the 'Adult Needed By Teenagers' category, because fuck that. It was only here to make sure none of them maimed or murdered each other.)
...Clearly, these humans could even trusted even less to take care of themselves. Murderbot adds in a new slide, titled 'Don't annoy the security consultants by doing this stupid shut, you idiots'. It populates said slide with a list of risky and dangerous behaviour, which quickly becomes several slides because the list is too long.
whoops html broke a little that last bit wasn't supposed to be italics it's fiiiine
Changed back. It considers embedding it as it is into the file to stop Murderbot from even being able to change it, but that's not as much fun.
ART more or less immediately re-titles the slide to 'Steps To Take To Avoid Onboard Security Incidents,' and begins rephrasing things to be less patronizing and/or full of swear words and deleting anything it would prefer the students not even think about.
Murderbot hasn't given up yet. It changes the font again.
But it leaves ART's edits to the 'Avoiding Security Incidents' slides largely untouched, since it doesn't particularly care about the rephrasing. Although it does have an issue with some of the removals.
Why did you take out the one on not getting dismembered by sticking any of their limbs and body parts into your mechanics? It demanded. Do you want dismembered humans?
Changed back, while also continuing to add things in other slides.
A few reasons, mostly concerning the fact that these are young adults and not small children, and therefore this sort of thing is something they already know not to do, ART answers, Past a certain age, the only time humans are likely to behave in that level of self-destructive behavior is if they are inebriated, which is forbidden for the students aboard. In most cases they would also have needed to take steps to access my mechanics and I would prefer they not even have that idea in their heads. If you don't tell them the option exists, they might not think about it on their own.
They do, but again, they have already been told not to and none of the students have access to my mechanisms anyway. Besides, I am also watching them if they attempt to do so. Please give the humans some credit. And ART, for that matter.
Changed again - and this time, it's Murderbot who tries to code in a lock to prevent it being altered further. It'll probably last about .3 seconds against ART.
...You sure there's no way they can get access? It's a far cry from how they did things in the Corporation Rim, when safety features usually cost more than anyone wanted to bother with. But ART's university was different. And maybe Murderbot could let it be if it could just...be sure, that the humans were at least safe from one hazard.
Oh that's cute. ART undoes it, changes it, and implements Murderbot's own code with some minor changes.
I can override all attempts to access my mechanisms, ART affirms, Including the manual overrides, which already would require codes none of the student possess. Baring any- Pause. -major malfunctions or absence- Such as being deleted, which it does not want to bring up. yes, I am sure.
Fucking asshole. The SecUnit furiously hacks its own fucking code, along with ART's bullshit additions, and then changes the font again. This time, it ads to the code an endlessly spawning error message that will trigger once ART touches it. (Said error message says: DON'T STEAL MY FUCKING CODE, ART).
Fine. You can leave it out. Then it pauses for .34 seconds. You're not gonna have any malfunctions or absences.
That wasn't allowed. The SecUnit wouldn't let it happen. Not again.
If you don't want it to use your code, don't try uselessly to code things in its way! It changes it back, with its own code this time, escalating in difficulty.
That is the plan. ART would also very much like to avoid any situation like that happening ever again.
It will work away at their slides a bit more before pinging SecUnit with a new media series. It can easily focus on both at the same time, after all (among everything else it's doing).
It takes the SecUnit a little longer to hack this time. And likely ART will be able to pick up on the growing furious irritation from it, because it knows that it can't win, and it's escalating to the point where it is going to lose very soon.
It's almost tempted to refuse to watch the new media series, just to be annoying...but this was one it had been looking forward to. And it really, really wanted to watch it. So it lets ART bring it up in the feed, and starts watching.
Haha, it's winning. It knew it would, and there's definitely an air of smugness in the feed as the SecUnit struggles with the hack.
Still, it will happily settle in to watch the new series with it, quietly adding and editing the document. It's starting to look like an actual education module. Now, whether or not it will actually use it...
The SecUnit attempts to keep up for a few more rounds. But eventually, it can't hack its way through ART's protections, and is forced to give up.
Fuck you, it says, shoving away the education module and refusing to touch it any further. But it also settles into to watch the show, which takes a considerable amount of heat out of the insult.
