BAAL (Biologically Augmented Artificial Lifeform)

[Tabris]

Was it...Alive? This was a question he was fearing somewhat, he knew that the AI was meant to have some form of sentience, but he had hoped it wouldn't ask this question...The Commissars naturally were always watching for signs of rebellion in their prototypes, hopefully he could avoid any problems by nipping this in the bud immediately.

Hopefully it wouldn't have too large an effect upon it's evolution as an AI...As he continued writing down notes he pondered....'What outcome would this have on the overall personality?'...
