"Do you even need to ask that? If we don't, then how will we even exist?" Kael snapped, losing his composure for a moment.(What is wrong with this AI…?) he thought bitterly.
He then added, with an even sharper tone, "Plus, you already made the announcement—and that too without asking me. So why are you asking me now, hmm?"
"Oh, you're right about that," Sentoiry replied innocently.
Kael's face darkened. He was left speechless, thinking, Are you even an AI? At this point, if you say you're not, I'd believe it.
Slumping back in his command seat, he rubbed his temples. Wasn't today already cursed enough? And now even my ship's AI—if she can even be called that—is testing me… I'm on the verge of crying.
Then, in a more proper tone at last, Sentoiry said, "In two minutes and thirty seconds, the fleet will exit the quantum tunnel."
Kael exhaled in relief, finally snapping out of his misery. Finally… normal, he thought with a sigh.
