I made myself reply, AdaCol1: offline. This time there was a pause. 2.3 seconds. It sent, query? AdaCol1 saved me. It was half eaten by an alien contaminant transferable via organic DNA into machine code and vice versa. It was held a prisoner in the dark while the humans that had rescued it from the ruin it was abandoned in were infected and driven to do terrible things to each other. It let me kill it if I promised to save its humans. How did I put that into this stupid limited language?
When did all this happen??? Was Adacol1 the 20-foot agriculture robot at the beginning of the book?
No, this all happened at the end of book 3 (Network Effect?)
