Oh, definitely. Some people don’t like it, but for most it’s just a part of the daily routine. I was admittedly one of those people.

@Intrepid

You didn't sleep enough and used caffeine to try to not slow down your processing ability?

@Legend

Pretty much. You’ve basically got it. It also makes actually waking up easier since it’s a slow process to get the gears turning sometimes.

@Intrepid

That's a lot of steps for something you have to do every day just to avoid some kind of fate worse than death. Maybe being a program isn't that bad after all.

It definitely has its benefits, I won’t lie to you. It may also be overall more beneficial in general, but I won’t confirm or deny any of that.

*Quickly*
I don't think so. Humans are much more important.

*Blinks*
Oh? What’s their importance got to do with it?

@Intrepid

Nothing. I didn't want you to get the impression that I would ever try prop myself up above living beings. Especially never a human.

@Legend

I didn’t get that impression. It’s just very true that you are physically superior to the average person. But whether or not you’re actually better depends on what kind of person you are, and I think you’re doing pretty good on that front too... Besides, I’m not human anyway, remember?
*Bumps you a couple of times with my elbow*

@Intrepid

It is, but that's just because navis need to be able to serve humans in one way or another.
*Rolls my eyes*
You're close enough.

*Laughs*
Regardless of reasoning, it doesn’t make it untrue... I’m just sitting on the opposite side of the fence here. I don’t want you putting yourself down because you don’t like feeling above them.

@Intrepid

Even approaching that line starts to grate against what I am. I don't know if that makes sense to you though.

@Legend

I don’t guess it does. Is it something coded into you?

@Intrepid

Everything is coded into me. Even this discussion is just another part of the program.

@Legend

*Blinks twice, reanalyzing my question*
Of course. Fair enough. I guess it’s like hunger or sleepiness is to you. Not a concept I really can grasp.

Don't worry about it—I can't either.

*Nods stands up straight*
Does that bother you at all?

All the time.

@Legend

Is there ever a way to kind of get to the bottom of it? Perhaps a way for you to simulate these things?

@Intrepid

Service to humans is more than just code; that's like an identity, or a family creed. But when it comes to code, nobody can fully understand exactly what goes on inside us. There are numbers, but nobody knows what they mean, or even if they mean anything at all.

@Legend

Well... Geez. That’s an incredibly unsatisfying answer, actually. I’m sorry.
