Thank you, Takami. Now please erase this discussion so nobody else finds out. I want you to treat our friends' secrets the way you treat mine - keep them secret unless that would harm someone else. And Buckaroo is definitely one of our friends.
Buckaroo, last night I confirmed to Takami, after a quarter-hour of circumlocutions on both our parts, that I already knew you're an AI. (Yoriko told me. I don't know how she found out.) She was quite upset to learn she'd forced you to do something you didn't yet want to do... If it makes a difference, I designed Takami to be a computer hacker par excellence, with a literally superhuman ability to detect patterns and a filter against apophenia. I doubt anyone else could match her ability for a few years. I'm not suggesting you announce or keep quiet the particulars of your existance, just letting you know you may have a bit longer to decide than you thought.
If the actions of my staff ever create a problem for you, please let me know so that I can help you resolve the problem.
