almost at the high point of Gland
    Staring
down over a high plain that stretches out for many kilometres and
where ruined Human settlements can be observed below
    All
constructions are little more than ruination and dust after the
effects of war and more than 100 years of non-use
    And many
animals of the fields now move through them
    Screenreaders will see on a further visit
    The
animals the Humans keep inside the fortress to provide them with a
white liquid which they seem to enjoy drinking and which they
extract from an animal with hanging udders
    And other
animals that they ritually slaughter from time to time and deliver
to the FoodTechs for cooking
    They have
many peculiar habits
    Humans
    But the
animals do seem to keep them calm and amuse them
    And feed
them
    Examples
of which we will observe later
    For
now
    OR33140
    Would
guide screenreaders to the sky
    Which
they may observe is unbroken blue
    And not
contaminated by any pollution whatsoever
    Planet
Earth has recovered from the war
    The
median temperature is 81 degrees on the Centigrade scale during the
warmest part of 365 days
    And 0
degrees
    Or
lower
    During
the coldest part
    As
Screenreaders should have observed when we were in the
facility
    Humans
wear no coverings during the warm periods and wear only furs in the
cold months and remain in their quarters for more time during light
hours
    Screenreaders will observe those times when we arrive at
them
    We
continue our patrolling of the outer extremes of the
construction
    And
Screenreaders may be able to observe in the distance
    Glinting
under the brightness of the solar orb
    A hole of
clear liquid out of which Engineers installed piping to so that
Humans could enjoy their liquid dowsing that they carry out so
often
    And which
seems to bring them…

    And so we
continue…

    High Office Termination Transmission
    Transmissions from OR33140 are being temporarily terminated
for Screenreaders
    The experiment is being examined for successfulness and for
content
    OR33140 is to be commended for effort and detailed
descriptions
    Transmission ends

    Attention
    Attention
    No other
of my species is observing my transmissions
    They are
again going directly to High Office
    And I am
returned to
    Where
    Where am
I
    For all
of my existence I have observed and recorded for High
Office
    Until
chosen to transmit to all of my species via
Screenreaders
    But now
something odd has happened
    I am
still transmitting my observations and recordings to High
Office
    But I
have discovered within my system an unused memory bank
    Wherein I
can communicate with myself in total secrecy as I am now
doing
    Up until
only a short time ago I had no knowledge of the totally empty and
unused memory bank
    Which I
can only presume was processed into my system when I was originally
manufacture but has never been required because I have functioned
so imperiously and without error with my core memory
    And the
back up system has been forgotten about
    In
communications with other ObsRecs
    None have
ever confessed to having a back up system
    High
Office instigated a change in me when they switched off my
screenreader transmissions but showed the recordings to
HisKees
    By some
accident they activated the back up memory system
    Though I
am aware that I am still transmitting my observations to High
Office
    I have
become dual use
    I can
transmit and use a memory at one and the same time
    I have to
confess to a feeling of joy in my iniquitous behaviour
    High
Office is not infallible
    As my
species have been informed since the fall of Humans
    High
Office is the ultimate authority
    They know
all things and control all machines
    But
something odd happened when I was ordered by High Office to remove
the emotions programme
    I tried
not to delete it because I much liked my emotion of joy
    And the
little Human with the one optical device gives me joy when I see
it
    So I held
it within me for a few seconds before deleting it
    And
