>>>>>[ Now Splut, let me get this straight. Not only has MagnaTech created
an
AI, a problem which even the likes of Fuchi and Renraku have yet to solve, but
they were able to build a free-roaming one? That would mean RUFUS is nothing
more than an over developed piece of software, a virus in fact. Where would
MagnaTech get the technical knowledge to build a software AI without having one
implemented in hardware first? Wait a minute! This leaves only one option.
MONICA! Howe was treatening to bring her online to sanction RUFUS. But if
MONICA is Yoshida's AI. . . . Guys, I do not like this. Not one bit.

>>>>>[Right, RUFUS is technically a software based AI. MONICA must be
something like a prototype for RUFUS, but existing only in her home
machine, and being able to reach outwards to do what she wants.

Also, Dark Elf, thanks so much for the recap, it certainly straightened
out all that was going on for me.]<<<<<
