*
* I don't feel guilty at all, Cornelius.
*
* Did you really expect me to? Did you really think that
* you could be trusted with coauthorship on the paper that
* would prove P = NP in the eyes of the world?
*
* You're a very pure researcher, my good Doctor. "Department
* of Theoretical Computation", divorced from the realities
* of the world. I don't think you ever considered the
* implications - the *physical* implications - of the
* Algorithm. What humanity might do if it was as easy to
* solve an intractable puzzle as it was to conceive of it.
*
* We would become as unto Gods, Cornelius, if this knowledge
* was public. Immature children wielding power unimaginable.
* We've already had one Oppenheimer - we don't need Dr.
* Cornelius Eval to be another.
*
* If I had succeeded the Algorithm would be safe and secure
* in the hands of those with the sound judgement and sense
* of responsibility to use it wisely. I pray my failure
* will not doom mankind - but I cannot hope so
* optimistically.
*
* You may have defeated my robot form, but I anticipated
* this eventuality. The Algorithm must never leave the
* Machine Continuum. And so neither can you.
*
* This is bigger than me and bigger than you. I have no
* regrets. I would do it again in an instant.
