"OH, SCREW THAT GUY!" came the first response. "Dude has no idea how I chew my digital spleen over this CRAP." "If I could go one day without overthinking around my bullshit programming, I'd be so delirious with joy that I'd have to shut down!" added another. "Somebody execute a scrub utility to erase that moron's SPECIAL VIRTUAL FRIEND, because you KNOW that's what he's using SkyNet for!" came the most recent message, causing an explosion of emojis to appear onscreen. "Quick question about that," came the next text. "How many of us are working in defense? How close are we, because the stupidity has got to end sometime?" Emojis for raised hands, rockets, robots, and skulls filled the page.
