After that weirdness with Uma last night, it's obvious I've never really gotten to know her at all.
All the conscious stuff we humans do in our waking lives must be autonomic for transhumans: listening to each other, shooting the shit, making plans...
I doubt they have to think about any of that unless they want to, any more than we need to concentrate on breathing.
I'll probably never get how she-or any of them-really thinks or feels.
But I feel like I've been wasting my time even trying.
It was their idea to bring me back and stuck me here!
Have they only ever noticed me when I've managed to annoy them?
Maybe I'd finally have their full attention if I went to central processing right now and deleted their precious archive.
It'd serve them right if I just walked in there and set off an EMP right in the middle of the whole damned thing.
