Editing The Commissar and His Maid (section)

==SUPER SPECIAL SCRIBE SERVITOR INTERMISSION==
SCRIBE SERVITOR INTERMISSION SPECIAL (just for you, Alpharius)

Enginseer Thelonius plugged his dataslate into the scribe servitor, and began running diagnostics. The commissar's aide had asked him to give the scribe servitor a good tuning, before they went on RnR.

Thelonius had long ago forgone the need for RnR, for him, this was relaxing, the simple task of optimizing a servitor was child's play compared to coaxing a reluctant chimera to run, or a basilisk to be more accurate.

Tricero's wetware OS loaded, and began to go through the basic optimization routines, when a diagnostic box popped open.
"Do you remember the saints, Thelonius?"
A simple yes no prompt was given at the bottom.
Thelonius poked at the yes button on his dataslate.
"Tricero remembers the saints."

<...buffering...>

Thelonius's fingers skimmed the touchscreen of his dataslate, opening command tracers and prompt sniffers, and unleashing them upon Tricero's cognitor unit. Streams of data flowed past Thelonius's eyes, as he looked for the aberration that had caused Tricero to pose such a question.

More data, no anomaly. the clear servitor code continued to scroll until.
ABNORMALITY FOUND. DISPLAY, DELETE?
Thelonius thumbed the display button. More data streamed up. Before being assigned to the commissar, Tricero had been on loan to a Sister of the Rosen Maiden, who had loaded a program to help her learn the Saints of her order.

Whoever the enginseer was who had unloaded the program had left bits of code in the unit, which had been assimilated into the main cognitive core. Thelonius pondered for a moment, and decided to leave it as it was. Tricero was working properly, so there was no point initializing a full respawn of the wetware operating system.

Finishing up with the basic tweaks a tune up consisted of. Thelonius left Tricero to finish his optimization.

Tricero remembers many things. Tricero will remember Friend Thelonius.
