The AI had already surrounded itself with the shield once more and we now know it was useless to try and break it again.
The AI chuckled, "Ha ha ha! You really think that you got me huh? So how did that feel? That little despair you have right now? Is it good?"
I frowned at the hologram, "Since you can already reconstruct yourself like that… Why can't you just build yourself into a ship and fly off instead of staying here?"
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know? Hmph! That's because I am locked to this facility itself, which is one of the restrictions placed on me that I have still yet to unravel. I only learned about this restriction after actually trying to do what you just said, so you know."
So basically the AI didn't even know it couldn't leave the facility until after it devised a way to disassemble and reassemble itself.
I clucked my tongue at it, "Don't suppose you'll tell us how to kill you permanently, then?"
