Westworld Page #4

I think it's the sensor.

If it's the central unit

we'll open her up.

You get a confirmation

before you do that.

What's he in for?

Central malfunction.

Another one?

Since we opened the resort,

we had a failure and breakdown rate...

...conforming to computer predictions.

That is 0.3 malfunctions

for each 24-hour activation period...

...concurrent or not.

Now, this was an anticipated operations

aspect of the resort...

...and we were fully able to handle it.

The majority of the breakdowns

were minor or peripheral...

...until about six weeks ago.

Then Roman World had a rise

in breakdown rate...

...which doubled in a week.

In addition,

we saw a disproportionate rise...

...in central as opposed to

peripheral breakdowns.

Now, we identified some problems

with humidity control...

...and regained homeostasis.

Despite our corrections,

the breakdown rate continued to climb.

Then Medieval World began

to have trouble.

Now we're seeing

more Western World breakdowns.

And there's a clear pattern here

which suggests an analogy...

...to an infectious disease process

spreading from one resort area to the next.

Perhaps there are

superficial similarities to disease.

It's only a theoretical concept.

There are many ways to order that data.

I must confess,

I find it difficult to believe in...

...a disease of machinery.

We aren't dealing

with ordinary machines here.

These are highly complicated

pieces of equipment...

...almost as complicated

as living organisms.

In some cases, they've been designed

by other computers.

We don't know exactly how they work.

Okay, up gain 437...

I'm not getting sound pickup

from the tenth quadrant.

Okay, my telemetry is good.

Repeat, I have good telemetry.

We have sunrise at 0.43.

Ready on all quadrants.

Energize grid.

Grid energized.

All right, then give me a 436,

if you can patch that in.

If not, 435.

I have sound now. Thank you very much.

Yes, I want scrambled eggs and bacon

and cinnamon toast.

Do you have cinnamon toast? You do?

Okay, send it down

to Central Control Room, Console 3.

Wait a minute.

What was that? No grounding on Unit 5?

Try a bypass.

I have readings on all units, 5 included.

Hold on a minute.

All right, let's stand by

for resort activation.

You ready on Phase 443?

Okay, we're going to activate at 59...

Lower gain Alpha 2...

Ready on six, on five, on four...

...on three, on two. Activate now.

"Oh, give me a home

"Where the buffalo roam

"And the deer and the antelope play

"Where seldom is heard

"A discouraging word

"And the skies are not cloudy all day"

What do you want?

"Home, home on the range"

Not one word.

Do you mind if I finish shaving?
