Price notices the soft approving sound, and eyes the Director with delight.
"Thank you, sir." he takes the envelope, handling it with care. He's honoured and excited to serve him. "Is there anything else I can do to assist you?"
"Someone once told me the great advantage of paper is it's discretion and impermanence. I trust you will take advantage of both." He knows that Price will read between the lines and dispose of the papers after he's read them.
Just as he expects him to connect the dots with them... Even if Price might not understand all the technical jargon. The subjects range from UNSC protocols and laws, ethics in flash cloning, theoretical models and various other things combed from obscure journals.
If Price sees the extremely illegal 'clone yourself to harvest your own brain' plan implied in the papers and doesn't seem bothered by it... well, they can start discussing his plans for their soon to be, Smart AI. If not, he can continue on his own.
"I should be fine for the rest of the day, Counselor. I wouldn't want to keep you from your own work."
He knows not to push quite so hard today. With luck, his temperature won't spike as dramatically as it did last night. So long as he keeps himself supplied with tea and tissues, he should be good enough to stay productive. Assuming he doesn't fall asleep at his desk.
Price goes back to his office to examine the papers. He did take some computer studies, but AI theory was a whole another discipline, so it took a little bit of squinting and double takes to confirm that the Director did indeed want to do something illegal.
He doesn't mind, working with the AI will be like working with him, so all the needed information will come out and he is glad to do the work, especially since Project Freelancer doesn't aim to have a tradtional approach. Who know what amazing discoveries they could make!
