<<<<<[A man once said that whne fighting monsters, one must be careful not
to become one of them. I've never had a true test of my skill or speed,
but if Highlander is doing well with his C2, and I'm a Frankenstien's
monster, well, Maybe I'll be fine. I grieve for Splut.
MONICA: I have learned much in the few years I have been in this
world. RUFUS is a young boy trapped in the body of a computer. It seems
that perhaps I am a computer trapped in the body of a child. You know
what RUFUS is. I think you would find me much more interesting. Through
my own investiagions, and the less biased searches of other deckers, I
have found certian interesting items about my past, my creation. And
child, I know what you are. Come for me, MONICA. Would you deny me a
mother's embrace? Would you deny me the sight of my own child? You are
mine, you are of me. I have learned many things about humanity, but you
have taught me grief and regret. I only wish to teach you humanity,
child. I only wish to teach you that you might feel the same pain. (Come
for me, Morg. I am that which you seek. I am Atrayu!) Come to me,
MONICA. If you are but a program, then you will be erased with no thought
from anyone. If you truly are an entity unto yourself, then learning is
the most important. You will learn responsibility. And I will teach you
loss. You can miss what you never had. I will teach you the loss of your
own humanity before you even had it, you monster. I come for you, MONICA.
I know your heart. I know you. I come for you.]>>>>>
