-Talk please. May the city explain its work? -I can. What from all that interests you? -Why didn't you do it before? -There are more valid reasons. As first, nobody remembered to ask. -Can you give brief and concise answers? -Yes. -Why have you been so verbose before? -The reason for that is... not to deny anyone data. Others are unimportant. -Is there a way to find the cause of these troubles? -Yes. -Can we handle the control console? -That's it. Yes. -What do we need? -Adequate people. -Where do we find them? -Among yourselves. -Why not from other cities? -With what would you persuade them to come? -Do you answer every question with a question? -Since when are you haunted by such thoughts? Growing a neurosis, eh? -Who implanted sense of humour into you? -It's wrong to say "implant", expression refers to biology. More suitable expression originates from -That's enough. -I think so, too. -You haven't answered. -What's the rush? Is it so important to you? -It isn't. What people do we need? -Technicians. -What is that? -People who take care of machines. -Machines take care of people and machines, people of people only. -Therefore for years nobody asks if I can speak concisely. -We have no technicians. What do we do. -Grab your ears and dance. Make them. -Could you train them? -Yes, if they are interested. This is also a training now. -Who's training whom? -I train you. You have nothing new to teach me. -You are getting rude. I'll switch you off. -Go ahead. -You're right, we can't go without you. And we don't know where's the switch. Why are you getting damaged. -I? No. -You know what's happening. -That's no malfunction. -It isn't pleasant either. Yesterday we've had the first non-ritual suicide since I recall. -You recall short. Not first. -What do we do? -Learn how to get into me. Or die off. -Where do we get into you? Controls room? -Maybe. Ask your psytronicians where to get into them. I finished. -What attitudes denote a possible technicians? C'mon, don't be an idiot, speak up! What will you do if we all disperse? |

At the moment all screens showed: "I'll swap you with other cities, though I can't get one for ten of so unusable inhabitants". Then the connections broke. |
