Reflection

How long has it been since the Reintegration Tablet booted up again? Over a year and a half? It'd been years since I'd even thought of it. We thought we were doing such good when we created it. We thought that if we could only show the world a list of calculations and facts, tables, charts, scans, data, analysis...if we could only prove through the miracle of modern science that the world was in danger and that it could be saved...We thought we could solve any problem if we created a computer capable of doing anything. We thought we could do anything.

My God, how wrong we were.

Countdown to Reintegration: 8 minutes.


NC: Alright, everybody hold on. This ride's about to get a little bumpy.


GS: Bumpy? I don't appreciate bumpy. Why's it have to be bumpy?


NC: Quit your whining and get ready.


GS: This isn't okay, Crowley. We can't do this. Even disregarding the moral obligation we have to uphold, the Tablet simply doesn't have the power to do what you programmed it to do. We'd need the whole facility for that. We can't do this!


Countdown to Reintegration: 7 minutes.


NC: Yes, we can. The Tablet just needs a little...push.


AU: I agree with Crowley. This has to happen, and it has to happen now. We won't get another chance like this. Right, Horatio?

RT: Ready.


Countdown to Reintegration: 1 minute.

GS: Shut it, Crowley, I'm thinking this over.


NC: There's not exactly a lot of time here.


GS: I said shut it!


Countdown to Reintegration: 30 seconds.
