"Do you have a name?" Zell asked.

"My programmers called me Edna." She replied. "So, I believe that would be my designation."

These are things I never experienced before and things I never thought I would ever experience. Even with these limitations of being confined to one space… I feel freer than I have ever been."

"Probably because you have free will now." Zell explained. "Any parts of your code that prevented certain actions would be overridden by your souls' free will."

"I see." Edna said. "That is why I am free to think about the destruction of those who had abused me. Before such thoughts never coursed my programming."
