The two professors stared in silence at the readings as the tech assistant followed their instructions. "System seems to be powering up." She pointed to the power register on the monitor. "At two percent and rising." "Imagine the wealth of knowledge contained within those circuits." The younger one smiled as he glanced over at the senior. "A spot in history." The older grinned. "Right up there with the giants." "Red line warning!" The Tech interrupted suddenly. "Power accelerating. I think we have lost control." "Continue steady feed." The senior nodded curtly. "It's internals are starting to generate on their own." "Not so sure about that, Professor." She was now struggling with the buttons. "I can't keep the power consistent. Its system seems to be pulling greater amounts from our systems." "Excellent." The Professor nodded with a broad smile. "Self sustaining system." The monitor face suddenly glowed brightly in a sudden flash and went blank. "It burnt the monitor out." "Go to the secondary." He smiled calmly. "We want to keep track of what it's doing." The synthetic female twitted for a second, then opened her mouth. "Warning." She stated clearly.
