Chapter 106 Emotional Module
Chapter 106 Emotional Module
When the pilot program for basic colleges entered its second phase, the problems began to become quite complex.
There have been complaints from people in Qingqiu City that the course content "overemphasizes the identification of administrative overreach."
A pilot program in Calon reported that Decepticon symbols were present around the college, which had an impact on the program.
The assessment of facilities near Iron Castle Center was requested to be reviewed again by several representatives from the old department, thanks to the assistance of the Autobots.
In the list of machines for repair in Xuanji Lake City, there are several machines with incomplete identification records, which the local management agency is holding onto.
Yin Vector looked at the row of newly popped-up execution disputes and remained silent for a long time.
BICk0 stood cautiously by the table: "Your Excellency, Chief Justice, which case should we prioritize?"
"Can I prioritize processing the machines that raised these questions?"
BICk0: "...According to the procedure, it's not quite possible."
It's a real shame that the vector tactical backflip was used.
She dragged out the complaint from Qingqiu City.
The course content itself was fine; it was just that it used a case study of an old administrative department overstepping its authority to access lower-level records. The case was explained too clearly, and after those old departments watched it, they finally realized that they were being used as a negative example.
Therefore, their reaction was very strong.
The evaluation of the vector is: This indicates that the course was effective.
Of course, a formal reply cannot be written like this.
In her annotation, she wrote: "[The course case studies are all derived from archived and publicly available rulings, and are grounded in factual evidence.]"
After some thought, I added: [If relevant departments deem the case inappropriate, they may submit rebuttal materials. Deletion cannot be requested directly on the grounds of "potential misunderstanding."]
After she finished writing, she pushed the document back.
BICk0 took it and handed over a second one: "Caron Pilot Project."
Yin Xiang glanced at the title, and his temples began to throb.
[Inquiry Request Regarding the Impact of Factionalization on the Caron Basic Academy Pilot Program]
Finally came.
She clicked on it.
The content was written in a very respectable manner, stating that there were many Decepticon symbols around the Calon Pilot Site, and that some maintenance personnel had close ties with parties related to the Calon Military District, which could affect the neutrality of the Basic Institute.
The more he looked at the vector, the more indifferent it became.
This inquiry was half true and half false.
Charon was indeed influenced by the Decepticons, and Barricades were indeed maintaining order around the academy.
The Calon pilot program was progressing at an excessively high efficiency, and it's hard to say that there wasn't pressure from Megatron's side at play behind the scenes.
That's the problem.
Just as she was about to write a reply, her private channel suddenly lit up.
Sound waves.
The vector motion paused, and the sound waves rarely disturbed her while she was handling legal matters.
She cut it open.
Sound waves: [Can three loop points be occupied?]
Vector glanced at the pile of execution disputes on the table, then at the name on Soundwave's screen: "You say."
The next one pops up quickly.
Soundwave: [I'm considering removing the emotion module.]
The vector stared at that line of text.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Her processor seemed to have been abruptly shut down, leaving only a blank and empty space.
It was as if someone was calmly standing in front of her, saying they were going to take apart their fire-generating pod to take a look, their tone as if they were discussing whether to replace an outer armor piece today.
She slowly sat up straight.
BICk0 noticed something was wrong with her: "Your Excellency, Chief Justice?"
He raised his hand, signaling her not to speak yet.
She stared at the message on the screen, her fingertip hovering over the input box: 【No.】
After sending it out, she didn't stop.
The emotional module is not an unnecessary component.
It's not something that can be easily dismantled for the sake of efficiency, faction, loyalty, or any seemingly grand reason.
The sound waves didn't return immediately; a few seconds later, new words appeared.
Sound waves: [Emotions can influence judgment.]
The vector almost made him laugh, and even the sparks jumped around wildly.
The absence of emotion can also impair judgment.
Do you think that logic alone makes something complete? That's not complete; it's missing a crucial input element.
Sound waves: [Emotional fluctuations can create interference.]
Instead of removing it, learn to recognize and deal with it.
She struck very quickly. She was terrified that if she was even a fraction slower, the sound waves would actually slice the thing off her.
[Sound waves, the emotion module, are part of your understanding of the world, and also part of you as an independent individual.]
You can't cut a piece off yourself and then say it's more suitable for loyalty.
This time, the other side stopped for even longer.
As Yin Vector stared into the silence, his anger gradually rose, mixed with a deeper unease.
She posted again: "If the Decepticons need you to remove your Emotion Module to prove your loyalty, then they were wrong from the start."
After sending that message, she paused for a moment.
She said something too harsh, making many things instantly seem undignified.
But she did not withdraw.
There was still silence on the other end of the sound wave. After a long time, a reply came.
I will consider it.
Looking at those three words, Yin Xiangzong didn't feel at ease.
She knew he would actually consider it.
As for where she would go after considering it, she didn't know.
The frequency band did not immediately disconnect; the silence lasted for a few more seconds before the sound waves returned to normal offline status.
The vector sat there, motionless for a long time.
BICk0 stood to the side holding the documents, behaving like a proper piece of furniture.
Only when she looked up again did she ask softly, "Should we pause first?"
Without saying anything, she encrypted and archived the sound wave recording.
When saving the game, my finger hovered over the title bar for a long time before finally typing: [Sound Wave - Emotion Module Related]
She should have gone to Megatron immediately, or at least asked where the idea of sound waves came from.
She also wanted to call an ambulance to find out what the consequences of removing the emotional module would be.
He even wanted to tell Optimus Prime about this, so that he could judge from another perspective what direction the Decepticons were heading internally.
But before she could even open the channels she actually wanted to talk on, a formal notification lit up on her desktop.
BICk0's expression was subtle: "Your Excellency, Chief Justice, we have just received a new review agenda."
Yin Vector's eyelids twitched: "Who posted this?"
BICk0 pushed the file over.
[Basic College Pilot Program Neutrality Review Meeting]
Initiator: Yutiandi.
As he looked at the name, he slowly squinted through the optical lens.
Seriously, each one of these troublemakers knows how to pick their timing better than the last.
-
This time, Yutiandi wasn't just privately attacking her; he started personally getting involved.
The review agenda was very well laid out.
The first question is whether the Calon pilot program was excessively influenced by the Calon Military District and Decepticon-related forces.
The second point concerns whether the Autobots' assistance in assessing the Iron Fortress and Tagan Heights facilities affects the neutrality of the judicial oversight center.
Thirdly, does the Qingqiu City public course case have a tendency to incite citizens to hostility towards the administrative system?
The fourth question concerns whether students with incomplete identity records on the list of students eligible for supplementary training at Xuanji Lake City should have their enrollment postponed.
Each and every one of these items is not fabricated out of thin air.
Sentinel Prime's brain module is really useful; he never tries to fool people with fakes. Instead, he takes real, existing gaps and illuminates them from the most unfriendly angle.
After reading it, Yin Vector sneered, "You really know how to pick things."
BICk0 asked, "Should we prepare meeting materials?"
"Get ready," she said. "The whole record."
"Do we also need the records of Charon's and the Autobots' assistance?"
"I want both." She paused for a moment, then added coldly, "The more complete the better. If he wants to use neutrality as a pretext, then let him see the complete program."
Both the Autobots and Decepticons are supporting the Academy pilot program; this support is useful, but it also brings risks.
She had already recorded all acts of assistance in the execution log, just in case this happened.
But she's still very annoyed.
Especially after the sound wave said those things to her.
It's like her brain module is currently crammed with two conflicting alarms, one from sound waves and the other from Sentinel Prime.
-
The review meeting was held on the second day.
The conference room was filled with familiar faces that made Ji utterly bored.
Sentinel Prime sat opposite him, his posture upright and his expression calm, looking like a member of parliament who was initiating the review entirely out of institutional responsibility.
If the vector hadn't seen his behavior in his private channel, it might have actually believed him for three seconds.
Master Titanium was also in the audience; he didn't speak, just sat quietly. This calmed Yin Vector considerably.
After the meeting began, the first former administrative representative spoke.
"The pilot program in Calon is progressing significantly faster than in other districts. We have noticed that Calon military district regulators and Decepticon-related personnel are frequently seen around the pilot area."
He pushed up several records.
Roadblocks, several Caron patrol aircraft, Decepticon insignia outside the academy.
The old department really knows how to take screenshots.
"We believe this could affect the neutrality of the basic college as a pilot for public education."
Looking at those images, the vector diagram shows:
"All personnel maintaining order in the surrounding area have been registered. Roadblocks will not enter the course area, participate in teaching, access registration lists, or review student records. Relevant boundaries of authority have been established."
The other person seemed to have anticipated her answer: "But his very existence is a deterrent."
The vector raised its eyes: "Do you have evidence that he interfered with admissions, teaching, curriculum content, or student choices?"
No direct evidence has been found yet.
"Then record it as 'not found yet.'" She said calmly. "You can continue monitoring, and the pilot program cannot be terminated on the grounds that the faction symbol exists."
The former administrative representative shut up.
The second representative immediately followed up:
"The Autobots assisted with the assessment of facilities in Iron Fortress and Tagan Heights. Given Optimus Prime's close personal relationship with the Chief Justice, should the judicial center recuse itself from related enforcement disputes?"
A moment of silence fell over the conference room. They finally unleashed their real guns.
Vector didn't speak immediately, and Sky Prime didn't look at her either, only looking down at the documents in front of him, as if this sentence had nothing to do with him.
Keep pretending, that old bastard Deng.
The vector raises its hand to retrieve the Autobot assistance log:
"Assistance for drivers and passengers must be formally applied for in the pilot districts and filed with the judicial center. The scope of the assistance is limited to facility safety assessment, recommendations for the adaptation of non-standard vehicles, and on-site order risk warnings."
She zoomed in on the documents one by one: "All the records have a timeline, the personnel responsible, the scope of authority, and the feedback reports."
The representative stated, "However, personal relationships can still influence judgment."
The vector looked at him: "Possible impact does not mean it has already had an impact."
"Should Your Excellency the Chief Justice recuse yourself?"
"If a specific case involves my direct interests, I will recuse myself according to procedure." Her voice turned colder. "But you can't ask the judicial center to relinquish its oversight of the entire pilot program just because I know a particular assisting party."
Before the representative could speak, Yin Xiang said first, "Otherwise, according to your logic, if the Supreme Council knows any former executive branch members, the Supreme Council should also recuse itself from all administrative deliberations."
The meeting room fell silent again, and the representative's expression changed.
Yutiandi finally looked up and gazed at her from afar, while Yinxiang also looked over.
Their eyes met, but neither of them showed any emotion.
The third item is a case study of the Qingqiu City course.
The old department believed that the content of "identifying administrative overreach" was too biased and could easily cause citizens with lower authority to become hostile to the department's actions.
The vector pointer retrieves the source of the case study:
"The case comes from an archived ruling, the names of the departments involved have been anonymized, the procedural nodes are complete, and the legal references are accurate."
"But the description is too direct."
"This course is not an etiquette promotional video." As soon as she said this, many people in the conference room looked up and stared at her.
The vector calm completion states: "Its purpose is to let citizens know where the boundaries of the procedure lie."
Sentinel Prime finally spoke: "Your Excellency Chief Justice, you should know that the content of education can affect the understanding of order."
"I know."
"Then we should be even more cautious."
"That's why I demanded that it be based on the filed rulings, not on departmental self-assessments."
Sentinel Prime looked directly at her: "You're expanding the legal narrative."
The vector also did not back down: "I am making public the judicial records."
When these two sentences collide, it's like Mars colliding with Earth; neither side is willing to back down.
Finally, the meeting minutes system, with its utterly insensitive and cold tone, reminded us of the next item.
The fourth issue concerns the enrollment of students with incomplete identity records in Xuanji Lake City.
This is the easiest thing for the old department to catch, because the identity records of those machines are indeed missing.
Some were damaged archives from old mining areas, some were lost from the registration system during early relocations of lower-level units, and some were never fully entered in the first place.
Local authorities have requested that enrollment be postponed while awaiting the completion of identity verification.
The vector indicator retrieved the list of students eligible for supplementary enrollment: "Students can be enrolled concurrently with their regular enrollment."
The other party stated, "Incomplete identity may pose management risks."
"The incomplete identity is itself a result of previous management practices."
The other party paused.
She continued:
"The historical defects of the system must not be attributed to applicants."
"They need to take remedial courses precisely because they haven't been systematically provided with such courses in the past."
"Therefore, supplementary enrollment can be done, but enrollment cannot be postponed indefinitely."
She deflected each point one by one without getting angry. She couldn't, she wouldn't give them a chance to "get emotional."
But she could sense that Sentinel Prime was always watching, like a vulture circling overhead.
As the meeting drew to a close, Sentinel Prime finally spoke again: "Your Excellency Chief Justice, your preparation of the record of Charon and the Autobots' assistance is very thorough."
The vector looked at him: "Thank you."
The two words were dry and lifeless, as if they had been dug out of a pile of scrap.
Yutiandi said calmly, "It seems you anticipated this kind of questioning."
"Procedure oversight should be prepared in advance."
"Really? Or do you know that your pilot program will naturally attract interference from opposing camps?"
This was what he really wanted to say today, and all eyes in the conference room fell on her.
She knew very well that if her answer was not careful, Sentinel Prime would be able to take advantage of the situation and make the most of it.
She suppressed her anger, her expression slowly returning to calm, and began to speak:
"The pilot program for basic science colleges will attract attention from all sides; that's a fact."
"What the judicial center needs to do is to record all assistance, intervention, risks, and powers, and put them in a place where they can be reviewed."
She paused, her tone becoming even calmer and more composed: "I don't shy away from the influence of factions. I oversee it."
No one in the meeting room dared to answer for a moment.
The Enemy of the Sky continued to gaze at her, its optical lenses remaining as still as a deep well.
The meeting did not ultimately halt any pilot programs, but added several new oversight requirements.
It's acceptable, at least.
When the vector file was collapsed, Sentinel Prime's private frequency band lit up.
Sentinel Prime: [You've made the gap too big, of course something will squeeze out through it.]
Vector reference: [For example, you?]
Sentinel's Enemy: [For example, the faction influence you're trying to avoid.]
Vector reference: [I did not evade.]
Sentinel's Enemy: [Then prove it.]
She looked at those words and slowly tightened her grip on her fingers.
-
After the meeting, the vector returned to the judicial center, where the encrypted recording of the sound wave was still on the table.
As she looked at those two lines of text, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if something had twisted it.
She wanted to find Megatron first, and also Ratchet and Optimus Prime.
She didn't want this matter to just lie quietly in the file, but new oversight requirements were already on the table.
The new curriculum revisions, the addition of faction influence, the explanation of the Autobots' assistance in avoiding conflicts of interest, the simultaneous implementation of identity supplementation and enrollment, the third round of pilot program opening, and Sentinel Prime's newly initiated next round of data access requests.
To get to the bottom of the vector, first pick up the data pen and reopen the pilot monitoring file.
Wait a minute, just one week of Sai Xing, then she'll have a chance to catch her breath.
