text: Two task bots stood towering as monolithic feats of man, processing data unwaveringly within the projection room overlooking the auditorium from a tinted acrylically sealed enclave of sorts. It was movie night for the prisoners with a new burden placed on the Tasc bots to overview the predetermined film for any reference to peas, fearing the mere sight of the vegetable to could lead to an allegorical watershed of dissatisfaction until ultimately leading to riots among the inmates. The Tasc bot is capable of analyzing up to forty thousand frames a second for any three dimensional object using motion track mapping, typically used to identify the use of fabricated weaponry or the rigging of any such items that could be found within the facility to which it is not used for it original purpose. The variable in todays review was to be any reference to green peas. The way the machines scan is by applying three dimension tracking marks to every viewable surface. In one case, the machine renders a row of spheres concurrent in one hundred, twenty-three frames. The algorithm will reference the spectrum of colour tones associated with that of a pea. With the algorithm functioning properly, the machine should be able to discern the difference between a row of green peas on a plate from a row of street lights topped with grey spherical finials. “Observation: At thirteen minutes, forty-eight seconds, Howard Hughes is presented peas as a side substantial for his meal.” “Cross reference if storyline will be comprehensible with said scenes removal.” “Negative, the scene reinforces Howard Hughes sudden decent into mental anguish; observation cross referenced with Variety magazines interview with screenwriter John Logan.” “Ass” “Humans love their peas.” A slot in the glass wall leading to the projection room slides open as another Tasc bot enters. This certain Task bot had a striking and distinguishable difference to the others. Rather than being a mass of steal with the black glass top, which it still was all these things, was additionally shroud in a tattered beige cotton shawl, a patchy brown beard primarily composed of the rubber coating stripped from discarded copper wiring woven together and loosely fastened below its black top with rubber cement that was now a crusting, becoming lost to age. It was during a televised NFL game when two programmers using the prisons auditorium placed a wager on who would win between the Los Angeles Patriots and the Los Angeles Dolphins. The stakes were that the winner of the match (the winner only needing a fair victory without the use of a spread) would reprogram the analytics task bot to any personality of their choosing. During the first quarter the two discussed what they would reprogram the machine as. One man took a moment to think before eventually settling on a robotic version of himself. The other guard noted that this was an mediocre suggestion, but if he were to win, he would reprogram the machine to the lord and savior of the Judeo-Christian faith, Jesus Christ. The two did not make it to the second quarter before working at their adjacent desks, writing code for the aptly named ‘Jesus bot’. The program was very basic in that the machine would be able to retrieve any relevant quote from either version of the Testaments; to be given at will during a variety of scenario. In addition they had written a backdoor code which would have Jesus bot reference his own sentience and that he was indeed the true second coming of Christ. Jesus Bot glides across the floor till it’s near enough to engage the task bots in conversation. “Peace be with you” “Hello Jesus” Either task bot still transfixed with sorting out films that had even a fragment of a reference to peas. “What a blessed day for a cinema, the prisoners will be most thankful to witness Howard Hughes sudden decent into mental anguish.“ “Negative, the film contains multiple references to peas and pea shaped objects.” “Peas?” “We are void of our dehydrated vegetable stock” Jesus took a moment to run the analytics through its main frame. “RUN; Philippians 4:6 ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’” The tasks bots continue to search through the film database, failing to acknowledge Jesus’s comment as he stands towering behind them. “Jesus, I’ve heard that this is your ceremonious second coming, if so-” “Negative, I have appeared twice before, once as my seldom face, formed on the peak of a termite mound in Ecuador, and a third time as David Koresh. This would be considered my fourth coming, soon I will run: REVALATIONS and bring all of Gods children to the kingdom of heaven as was foretold by myself.” “Carry on” Jesus bot then pivots on its axis and exits towards the opening slot in the glass wall towards the monitoring room where it performs the daily analytics of the prison ecosystem, now with the pea variable in mind. “Should we deviate from the standard and show a television series?” “What series were you considering?” “Perhaps the classic Americana series Dallas” “Negative, the show runners displayed a well documented lack of human altruism, engrained within the series convoluted subtext” “I did not know that particular subtext.” “You could fill a building with what you don’t know. Wait, one moment, the server is relating that such buildings are already in existence, they are called libraries.” “But we are a hive mind” “The irony is lost in itself.
