The projections are unlikely to harm anyone. Lab 14 in a corrupted, autonomous state, is not necessarily in the same class as "no danger," however.

@Etcetera

Well, if it’s just a lab, then at least it can’t move... Right?

In standard and/or ideal conditions, your intuition is correct.

So where is it?

*Motions toward the house*
This is Lab 14. As they say, it's more than meets the eye.

Oh, I thought you were living here or something.

If I were, this may have been avoidable. Although... Lab 14 should not have been capable of beginning a reboot.

Is there anything inside of value?

@Multifarious

Given the fact that the lab has restarted operations, there is. I had tasked it to solve a problem I thought unsolvable in order to prevent it from meaningfully operating. Its reboot indicates that it has computed the solution, and I would very much like to know what that is.

@Etcetera

How long did it take?

@Multifarious

It was rather quick. Only a thousand years or so.

... I guess that's not absurd for something considered "impossible".

@Multifarious

It was never formally proven impossible, but I didn’t anticipate that the lab would be capable of solving it. It’s been entirely deprecated.

@Etcetera

Well, I’m sure that you’re more than capable of taming it and getting what you need? It’s your lab after all.

@Multifarious

I intend to do whatever I can, but disabling the security measures will be non-trivial in my current state.

@Etcetera

Well, that doesn’t necessarily imply “difficult”.

@Multifarious

My concern is primarily in regard to whatever caused the system to operate autonomously at all. Perhaps it was simple corruption, but the security systems may not respond to my overrides.

@Etcetera

How long will it take you to not be in the current state that's holding you back?

@Unhinged

The estimate is three months, but I need to resolve this issue today.

@Etcetera

So what I’m hearing is that you need a hand!

@Unhinged

It would certainly be speedier. I don’t intend to pressure you into doing so, however.
