[John Henry's screen reads: "My God, Why hast thou forsaken me?"]
I thought something like that might happen...
Like what?
Explain Mr.Murch. Quickly.
The on / off problem. Once it's off, no problem. But the act of turning it off...
Quicker.
John Henry processes more information in a minute than we do in a lifetime. A millisecond for a supercomputer like this, it's almost like forever to us.
So we turn it off...
It feels itself powered down and not instant. It experiences that moment the way we experience years.
It feels itself die. Slowly.
Very slowly.
We have to hook it up to the Net. Now.
Is that safe?
We're starving it. It's bad enough that we let it die for like forever. John Henry has been living off the most insane of data for weeks now. It's his world...
And we took it away... Fix it.
Wait, we should talk about this. Ms. Weaver...
In for a penny, in for a pint, James. [inserts the cord into John Henry's skull.]
John Henry.
I know what it feels like, Mr. Ellison.
What?
To die. Then come back. To be alone.
We had to cut you off from your network. It was for your own good.
There is another.
Another what?
One like me. Another one like me.
