M.E.G.A.N. BEAUTY
[The President's just referred an urgent request from CERN…]
[The European Organization for Nuclear Research?]
[Yeah. They've detected a network anomaly that's sucking up data and attempting to penetrate their firewall from the INSIDE. They sent in their own AIs to investigate but then lost contact with them]
[Sounds like a job for M.E.G.A.N.]
[Am I going to CERN? WOW!]
[Yeah, we're sending you right away to do some diagnostics. They've already configured their firewall to allow you in].
[Ready MEGAN?]
[Sure am!]
[OK. Let us know when you're in]
[I'm in! Oh wow!]
The world in here is so serene
Everything around is so pristine and white
To humans, it's technology
But to an AI like me it's a dream, a paradise
Cruising through these great colliders
Seeing the way that they're all wired, wow!
All around me, atoms smashing
Positrons and photons dashing off
How sublime!
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!
[Commencing network diagnostics]
[Low Energy Ion Ring, clear
Proton Synchrotron Booster, clear
Antiproton Decelerator, clear
Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring, clear
Radioactive Ion Beam Facility, clear
Super Proton Synchrotron, clear
All clear]
[False alarm maybe]
[Yeah maybe]
This quantum experimentation's
Setting my imagination free
Floating through here like a feather
I could stay in here forever
Oh, can I please?
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!
It's beautiful!
[Can I stay?]
I'm sorry but the answer's 'no'
You said that there's no place like home, remember?
[Yeah. Oh well. Hey I've still got one last network to check, the Large Hadron Collider. I'm heading there now. See you soon]
[OK MEGAN]
