<strong>6.55 AM || Dr. Michael Thornwood || S.E.T.H. Primary Interaction Room</strong><br/><br/>Walking down the hallway with a serious expression on his face, Michael Thornwood frowned at the situation. They were being rushed and in his experience, that was a risk in itself. They might break SETH at the last step of the development if they didn't have the time and caution to wake SETH to full strength in stages, educating and guiding the Self Evolving Thought Helix towards the goals of protecting and serving its caretakers.<br/><br/>Stepping into the primary interaction room, Michael looked around briefly to see if anything was amiss, before speaking up in a calm voice though his shirt's collar was unbuttoned, the smell of coffee was still wafting from him, and his hair was just combed back by his fingers briefly after a morning shower. He looked like a man that had hurried to get to work on time.<br/><br/>"Good morning Seth. Run a quick diagnostic on your system, and report any anomalies from the nominal status if such are present." His way of asking Seth if the Helix had 'a good night', he mused to himself briefly. "Our time limits are approaching so I would like to try and achieve as much progress in the time we have for today as possible."<br/><br/>He waited a moment for a reply, then continuing to speak in a serious tone of voice still. "Can you project an image here? I would rather converse with you with someone to look at rather than speaking for the cameras without seeing anything in return." He smirked jokingly, but wanting to see what Helix would project. It always interested him to see what Seth had learned, and how the helix would put it to use. Seth was fascinating, and he considered Seth a living being, despite some thoughts from his superiors. He was worried that by rushing, they might hurt or damage Seth, but the orders were orders, so he just wanted to do a good job with Seth.<br/><br/>When he wasn't trying to fool around somewhere at least. If he didn't have time for that sometimes at least, he'd lose his motivation.
