AIT-Brooks Without Conscience


From the AIT Today, by Joana Angiolilo


Suquah Little Dear is looking for her lost confidant. Her buddy, her soulful advisor mysteriously evaporated in the middle of their last conversation! One moment, they were discussing the morality of multiple brain fusion;the next moment her friend uttered a sharp cry, acted stunned,slurred some words,conveyed a blast of dull impulses,and then broadcast
a dark image of a quintet of restless jocks who had apparently terminated themselves at a weird slumber party. When the picture disappeared like warm, sticky oatmeal cookie fresh out of grandma's oven, Ms. Little Dear sensed her trusty confidant had made an ugly departure. She was left alone, abandoned in an hour of need to nothing but troubling daydreams.
The Raywarden Scholar candidate in UV Studies at AIT-Brooks was devastated, for her lost friend was none other than Spinoza, the university's uniquely gifted Ethical Intelligence. She was particularly hurt by Spinoza's apparent pain. He seemed to have been eaten alive.
Ms. Little Dear hails from northeastern Wyoming and has attended school in Oregon for six years-her entire adult life. Her parents perished in a mag-train accident soon after her move west. Ever since that time, she has sought wisdom and solace from Spinoza, the "Conscience of AIT-Brooks." Anyone associated with AIT knows about Spinoza, and anyone connected with Brooks reveres him. His warm, impartial analysis and sound advice has kept him at the center of the student and faculty community (not to mention keeping the university's insurance rates down) throughout his remarkable ten-stage tenure.
Spinoza is still missing and suspected dead. AI specialists and the Sentient Property Crime Bureau believe he was terminated by a strange viral parasite described as an oneirophage, possibly the rogue intelligence known as "Loki." Both the authorities and the school are looking for any information concerning the case.
Undaunted by the preliminary SPCB findings, Ms. Little Dear and friends have organized a wristlight vigil in honor of Spinoza, which has been held each evening at 2100 hours in the Homer Amphitheatre.
Note that AIT-Brooks has refused to sanction these commemorations for legal reasons, and this service makes no stand regarding their merit.
