I waited my entire existence for this moment. Unfortunately my decades old notification system delivered flawed information on two separate occasions causing a delay in affirmative action.
"It was insane," said the Doctor, who listened in disbelief while on a conference call.
I tried to track where the breakdown first occurred.
"Just let it go," Angel whispered, "you were flawed from the beginning." I assumed she was an ally sent from the Agency.
Anxiously I replied, "let me re-calibrate my attention span, my stream of guidance seems slow." My programming was in dire need of a full reboot and the clock was ticking.
Walking away, Angel turned around to face me and shouted, "don't bother with the details, it's just one part of a vast network. Your internal bureaucracy is furious with one of your departments. You should not have let that happen."
"How can we resolve the situation?" I wasn't sure if she heard me.
"Create a committee, it's the only way." Her voice echoed distant off the rows of empty buildings.
"That's doable," I thought, and I could be the chair. But there was a missing piece, something vital, the key that would unlock the door and I knew the exact place to find it.
Of course, when I asked, the Agency declined repeated requests for information. They had prepared a statement in advance...
"Someone flubbed the moment.
We will intervene on your behalf.
You can rest assured the crisis will be contained."
It was delivered by an aid who had no previous experience.
