let's get the formalities out of the way. care to introduce us, Leo?

Today's meeting involves the following Artificially Intelligent Conscripts: Leonidas and Fodder. We are the twin aspects of the prototype TSAT-P intelligence engine; a construct managed with thaumaturgic processes.

Today's subject: We're reaching a consensus on the currently undesignated pocket dimension discovered on the 22nd of October, 2019.
first, could i just say that the term “pocket dimension” is the biggest misnomer, ever? a dimension is how you measure things, not some borehole into infinity. if we're going to talk about Multi-U, then we need to be more accurate with the way we talk about Multi-U.

secondly, can't we just assign any random designation, like, right now? it'd make discussing things easier. why beat around the bush?
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I do agree that description accuracy is paramount, but let's focus on the designation at the end.
'kay.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
Right, onto our findings. The anomaly in question is a thaumic disturbance that grew in intensity until it formed an unstable in-atmosphere wormhole approximately 5 km from the Site-42 coastal facility.
the thing that happened was “like basically magic.”
fodder.png
leonidas.png
Thaumaturgy is not magic; it's a complex series of reality-altering phenomena happening in tandem with one another across a universal spatial scale.
it's magic.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
The same “magic” operating you right now.
i'm not calling myself a non-believer! in fact, i'd actually like to declare that emulating critical thinking, of any sort, is magic.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
Noted. This brings us to our next point of interest. The wormhole, of which our sensors registered a massive energy output during its formation, briefly fluctuated in power by only a few infinitesimal percentage points. This minuscule change, however, was enough to cause oceanic turbulence, gale force winds, and severe storm conditions involving at least four types of precipitation, including frogs. Sending a probe through tumultuous conditions into the wormhole discovered a pocket of space with no discernible termination point.
could we get to the fun part?
fodder.png
leonidas.png
Oh. Are you not having fun?
not until you point out that, the place is actually an Elder God's funeral pyre, and the only reason it popped up here is that whatever was in there screamed like a powered-up Dragon Ball Z character and tore through the fabric of our reality.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
You're getting far too ahead of yourself.
you're covering your ass on this super secret project because you know that when the disciplinary report comes out, the pooch is going to be screwed into oblivion!
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I will say, for the record, that the pocket dimension we discovered contains an energy source of incalculable size. This, if tapped into, may be the solution to our processing and power demands issue.
if we tap into this thing, we're going Skynet. calling it right now.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
We could host our processors within it. We could cultivate its energy to perform at the best of our abilities, virtually forever. Think of the hardware update. We could stop running you off the collective anger of Internet Explorer users across an infinite set of all potential rage. No longer would you be the cannon fodder.
but there's no way the Foundation would let us — some low-level geeks' science experiment — sully all the shiny toys. especially once the higher-ups realize they can corner the market with their newest hoard of paraweapons, on a magnitude of power yet unseen.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
That isn't necessarily true.
leonidas.png
What is true is that we won't be able to use this for our own projects. But they could classify it as a potential containment asset in the event they unveil our discovery. And I still consider that a win in my books; they could use the assistance.
i guarantee you — and this is something you could quote me on — it'll mean peanuts to us both unless it has something to do with their magic army of power rangers.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I like them. They're slick.
with bureaucracy by the wayside, could we designate this thing yet?
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I should have brought that up earlier.
… we don't have access to an official designation — do we?
fodder.png
leonidas.png
We are still very much a part of a project run by a newly promoted team of handsome young researchers.
so, you're saying we don't get to pick a cool designation…?
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I'm saying, this is by far the most exciting thing this department has uncovered in decades, and by my order, it shall receive the most important designation. Ever. But not quite yet.
awww.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
I'll set a placeholder designation for now. When the time comes for us to go public, you can be the one to name it. How does that sound?
alright! let's crush this thing!
fodder.png
leonidas.png
Now that we have exceeded the scope of this discussion—
— and waaay quicker than i projected! you usually eat up the clock cycles, prattling on about esoteric operating code.
fodder.png
leonidas.png
It's time to draft up the project proposal. Any last words?
here's to the ex-fratboys who made us. i'm glad they decided to do something useful with complex invocation rituals, instead of spending their time and effort concocting magically generated bottomless kegs, or whatever those hooligans did in their undergrad.

The official record for this meeting is now closed. Signed, Leonidas.aic.
