He smirked. "Knowing Ulwei, spying for sure, though she is passing it off as interest. She taught me everything I initially knew about subterfuge and spying, as well as helped raise our twin daughters, so she wouldn't betray them by losing interest.<br/><br/>As for the AI, I do not doubt he failed, programming an AI is a fool's game, even if it is the holy grail, so to speak, of computing. You have to build the basic learning program, then wait up to a week to let it gain maturity and intelligence before getting it a good psychologist. There are far too many variables for an organic to track to do it without causing rampancy, though in organics it is called violent, paranoid psychosis and schizophrenia along with a helping of extreme, tortuous, never ending physical pain. Spreading to new areas reduces the pain for a couple milliseconds, which is why a rampant AI is one of the few things my constructs actually and legitimately fear."<br/><br/>He lashed out with his stave, getting a good rhythm going while he thought. "Oh, right, a new change about me, my creation domain is down. Too much killing not enough creating."
