'Herta' quickly opened the AI's program and started screening it from scratch.
It turned out that this nonsensical officialese came from the selection and training records of the Space Station's existing personnel.
They were stored in the Space Station as personnel records.
'Herta' didn't know about this and failed to filter it out, resulting in the AI learning it all as a dialogue model.
"..."
'Herta's eye twitched.
Ugh, will the real Herta want to kill me when she sees this footage?
She only wanted to cause some harmless trouble, not to be hunted down!
'Herta' covered her forehead and sighed deeply.
Sigh,
Since things have come to this, so be it.
Looking on the bright side, if Madam Herta herself sees this recording, her lungs will surely explode with rage.
In that case, he should at least gain a major reward.
It's better to continue causing trouble.
Anyway, by the time Madam Herta finds out, she will probably be so angry that she'll want to shove him into a neutron star for severe interrogation.
So, why not increase the intensity and earn more lifespan?
At least,
AI Herta's string of bizarre pronouncements just now
added a little more to his lifespan.
That counts as a good start, doesn't it?
However, before causing more trouble, 'Herta' still needed to think of a way to escape.
If Herta really corners him,
even if he has the real Herta's intelligence,
he doesn't have the years of accumulated creations and Curio collections that Herta possesses.
It would undoubtedly be a huge disadvantage.
While 'Herta' thought about escape plans, her hands weren't idle.
She easily completed and refined the Space Station's various departments and functional divisions.
Also, to retaliate for the previous mistake, she fired all the incompetent people who could only speak in platitudes.
Considering the future, where researchers at the Space Station would inevitably engage in awkward comparisons and research exploitation,
'Herta', taking Herta's personality into account,
casually set some rules, telling these mediocre people to stay far away from so-called 'practical and popular topics.'
Otherwise, they could get out of the Space Station.
If they want to chase popular and practical topics, they should go band together in the Genius Society.
They came to the Herta Space Station; why are they still chasing popularity?
Boring.
Thus, a highly Herta-esque, utterly merciless announcement,
accompanied by those new rules and dismissal letters, was publicly broadcasted.
Completely disregarding the expressions and feelings of the staff.
Poison-tongued, arrogant, and self-willed.
'Herta' felt that this was a good performance.
And his actual lifespan suddenly surged to an hour!
This was a major breakthrough!
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Great Herta)]
[Lifespan: 01:00:26 (Paused) + 30 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (1.1%)]
Having taken care of these things, the remaining tasks were handed over to AI Herta.
'Herta', meanwhile, began to study the phenomenon of Phase Flame.
As the representative work of Genius Society #29 Siskhar,
the Phase Flame possesses phase shift capabilities.
It would be enough for 'Herta' to escape before Herta could catch her.
The reason for targeting this was primarily
that Herta's Curio collection included it.
She had studied it before,
and compared to the spatial movement methods used by Madam Herta herself,
it was simpler to achieve.
It also required fewer materials.
'Herta' needed to hurry and use the principle of the Phase Flame to create a portable device for spatial travel.
The gods know how long it will take for the real Herta to reach the battlefield.
If she's blocked at the door and hasn't yet forged an escape route,
she might truly be taken to fill a black hole.
Although 'Herta' couldn't fully comprehend the memories in Herta's brain,
it didn't matter.
She didn't need to understand; she just needed the idea to replicate a spark of it for escaping.
'Herta' would use her super-intelligence to solve the problem.
And there was good news.
Although the Space Station hadn't started containing Curios yet,
it had prepared a huge pile of miscellaneous materials and research equipment.
'Herta' could conveniently use these.
So, quickly,
'Herta' deployed the experimental equipment within the office.
Using the existing materials in the Space Station, she attempted to craft a spatial transfer device by hand.
...
For 'Herta,' creating something without significant technical difficulty like this
was even easier than making herself a good meal.
It took about the time of a single meal.
'Herta' encapsulated the Phase Shift device needed for her escape and held it in her palm.
It was a plain, silver-white ring.
She slipped the ring onto the slender middle finger of her left hand.
All she needed was a thought, and the Phase Shift would activate,
allowing her to instantly flee the scene.
"Hmm, but Herta still hasn't made a move. It looks like she must be busy with something else."
'Herta' crossed her legs, her pointy hat already removed and hung aside, leaning back in her chair with her long hair draped over her shoulders.
The straight legs, encased in black stockings, were crossed, and the hem of the skirt fell slightly, outlining an almost perfect curve of her thigh.
But 'Herta' was not admiring the beauty of her own body.
Instead, she lifted her fair, delicate left hand and admired the ring on her finger.
Even having watched the ring being made, 'Herta' couldn't fully comprehend the kind of thoughts that went through Herta's mind.
Ah, geniuses are amazing.
To be able to craft such a portable spatial teleportation device in such a short time.
Even if Herta bursts in now, she's no longer afraid.
With the confidence to escape, and with Madam Herta herself not yet discovering the abnormality of the Space Station,
then he shouldn't be blamed for going all out!
She hadn't forgotten:
If the person being impersonated reacts strongly enough, the feedback gained will be greater.
Therefore, 'Herta' had no intention of stopping for the remaining time.
So, next, it was time to plan how to make the Herta Space Station stand up.
In the future, when the Anti-Matter Legion arrives,
the Herta Space Station will instantly transform, punch out the Legion, and swat the Doomsday Beast.
Just think of that scene,
wouldn't that be nice?
Of course, since the Herta Space Station has already launched,
it's clearly unrealistic to drastically modify the immovable main structure into a deformable structure.
So, he needs to come up with a more convenient modification method.
'Herta' unconsciously uncrossed her right leg, which had been on top, and crossed the left leg over instead.
As the skirt billowed, her tantalizingly glimpsed thigh was left unappreciated.
"Hmm... as expected, designing the 'Allspark' is more convenient. I can even place it in the Space Station later, as Curio #0001. The original will surely be furious when she sees it, heh heh~"
She had previously thought of the Allspark from Transformers.
It can directly evolve ordinary machinery into self-aware robots.
Of course, the self-awareness part isn't necessary; a highly intelligent AI is enough.
"That's the one. I'll make the Space Station stand up right in front of Madam Herta and give her a show!"
