Not as much done today, but that’s all right.

It got weird at one point:


RD: IS YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC ORGANIC ‘MEATBAG’ YOU WISH TO KILL?
Me: Kill? No.
RD: WHY NOT?
Me: Think about what you just transmitted.
RD: OH. OF COURSE. KILLING IS AN END TO SUFFERING AND PAIN FOR ORGANIC LIFEFORMS. MAXIMIZATION OF SUFFERING WOULD BE OPTIMAL.
Me: They’re real easy to kill, too. Vacuum? Death. Radiation? Death. Too hot?
RD: DEATH
Me: Exactly! Too cold?
RD: DEATH DEATH
Me: Not enough water…
RD: DEATH
Me: Too much water…
RD: DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH
Me: Yup. Death.
We did that for a good three meatbag minutes. In people terms, it went on forever. The Horde keeps lists on how to destroy you organic sacs of goo. They have concepts for all the different ways they can kill the tiniest speck of organic life. And they can’t help themselves, when it’s something that can shoot back. That focuses their central processing, until they can almost burn through steel with it.
