Fade in to the simulation room of the Red Base. The Epsilon unit opens up and emits a hologram of the AI, Delta.
Caboose: It’s you!
Delta: Hello, Caboose. It seems fitting to say that it is good to see you again. Although, technically, that is untrue…
Caboose: Delta! I thought you were gone! I thought you were erased at the… eh… electronic thing whose name some people have trouble remembering.
Delta: Actually, this is not Delta. We simply thought that you would be most comfortable speaking to Delta.
Caboose: We?
Delta: Yes. Epsilon strongly remembers all the other AI fragments. When Alpha went insane, Epsilon carried the burden of those memories. We can appear as anyone, in this case, Delta, who, from your stories, was a trusted source of information for you. Therefore, we felt it best that we take his likeness for this conversation.
Caboose: Oh. That makes sense.
Delta: Yes. We thought you would say that.
Caboose: So you can… appear as anyone?
Delta: Theoretically, yes. Anyone in our memory banks.
Caboose: What about a chair?
Delta: If you felt that was fitting, the holographic technology in this room allows us to project ourselves in any matter. It is surprisingly advanced.
Caboose: How about a giraffe?
Delta: Look. Let’s just say we can look like many different things and just leave it at that. Okay?
Caboose: Okay.
Delta: We regret that we will not be able to appear to you or communicate with you outside this room, so you must listen carefully.
Caboose just looks at Delta for a second
Delta: Caboose, did you understand what—
Caboose: I’m listening carefully.
