Learning Is For People With Limited Life Spans

They say time is the greatest teacher, but that's bullshit people who haven't lived centuries say. If anything Time is the worst teacher, when you know you've got years to fix a mistake you make plenty. - Chronicles of Lorentino

The planet was on the outer reaches of space. Phil had marked it as uninteresting when he was in the scanning business, but that was due to my lets say programming (look there's no nice way to say brain washing) what was there was actually something incredibly interesting, some kind of relic of an ancient civilization and despite being trapped in one recently I had to explore it (what's that old lesson about never learning? Never mind who cares!) Mainly because Morley was looking for something on the rim, and I had to find it before he did, because screw Morley.

"I don't think this is a wise course of action." Shira was the voice of reason, and by reason I mean her own.

"I told you to get us over there, we have a planet to explore." I let Shira allow the fleet to do its own thing, we just took the flag ship and an escort. I was growing tired of having to negotiate with my own fleet to do what I want.

"And I believe I told you that this can not lead to anything good. Morley wanted it, ergo its bad, ergo you should just blow it up."

"We don't know why he wanted it."

"You are a very silly man." That was the last line from Shira before we disembarked. It was just me and Shira. Phil was back with the other part of the fleet being rehabilitated (apparently years of being brain programmed lead him to have some problems upon being woken up from it) and Shira didn't want to risk other AI's getting damaged in what she felt was ultimately a pointless exercise. I was personally insulted she felt we were going to be in trouble up until the energy shield came up and trapped us planet side.

"Don't say anything, just don't."

"Why would I say anything, we are on an adventure."
