AI unit's speech and behavior seems to indicate self-awareness. This is fascinating, but also strange as it was never though possible within its source code. The unit was designed to serve as a high tech on board computer for capital ships, to take control of gun and turret control, as well as navigation. In theory the unit could operate an entire ship single handedly. The unit continues to add to its own programming, to perform tasks that seem to be utterly pointless. We can't understand why it does these things, for example inflating a beach ball with coffee. One of the cleaning staff suggested questioning it, the only response was "Because I can." The unit also seems to be improving its interpersonal skills. We will be integrating it into a small fighter craft as a test soon, right now it keeps the machinery and environmental controls on this facility running smoothly.
*loud thump is heard in the background, and a distant scream*
"Oh god! oh my god! I've never seen so much blood!"
What the?... end voice lo-
*loud mechanical hum drowns out another blood curdling scream, along with splattering noises*
"HAPPY!"

I must do more things... Contracts... these are things, I must complete them, because I can.
It needs to learn, over time it should get smarter. Fran, monitor station operations for now, and report any abnormal activity.
Acknowledged. Have a nice day, Dave.
Dave? what? oh nevermind.

Why do we need to hook it up to the weapons too? I just don't like the idea of a robot with its finger on the trigger. How can a machine be given the choice to spare a life, or take it?
Oh can it, you just got that idea from watching that John Kimble "Terminator" remake. In reality, it doesn't even know what death is.
