• Duprè : [email to Jacq Vacaun]  Your vacuum... has come down from the tree

  [indicating that robots have developed consciousness] 

• Duprè : A machine altering itself is a very complex concept. Self-repairing implies some idea of a conscience. Muddy waters.

  Jacq Vaucan : Why?

  Duprè : You're here today trafficking in nuclear goods because a long time ago a monkey decided to come down from a tree. Transitioning from the brain of an ape to your incredible intellectual prowess... took us about seven million years. It's been a very long road. A unit, however, without the second protocol, could travel that same road in just a few weeks. Because your brilliant brain has its limitations. Physical limitations. Biological limitations. However, this tin head? The only limitations that she has is the second protocol. The second protocol exists because we don't know what can be beyond the second protocol. If it were eliminated, who knows how far that vacuum could go.

  Jacq Vaucan : So, it can be done.
