"-you know perfectly well why! Or if you forgot, how about taking another look at that calendar with the big circled date on it!"
"Look, stop blaming me for that, I work best under pressure! We still have enough time to put it through its paces first, is all I'm saying. Imagine if it forms a corrupted processing. We could end up with a course full of flying fish!"

"It should take about a day and a half for the steady input to create any sort of sense of self. Probably just processing numbers at the moment. But it looks like the boot up is finished. The blank room is also ready, so lets go ahead and get the hardware installed."
"Ok, fine. But if this one also starts on fire, I'm putting you in as the one who made this decision."
"You can't just be happy when things go well, can you? I just-"
Gone. Nothing now. No voices, no Not-Words....
