That goddamn computer.  It took him seven years just to let me use a terminal. All of his messages came stamped onto my food packets.  My protein bars told for an entire year “You need time to calm down.”  I still wish that I could eradicate him, although I am at his mercy. He keeps saying that I should be thankful that he saved me.  For the record, I want to say again that computer is not sane.

Durandal seems to be missing some of the chronology of events that occurred before the launch of the Marathon. When the Marathon was attacked, Leela began to scramble and rewrite all of the historical information for mankind. Of course, she was damaged, and her efforts were cut off by the compilers and by Durandal.  The result is that some but not all of the Marathon’s data was muddled.  Leela’s effort at confusion failed to trick the Pfhor, but it has confused Durandal, and that is funny.

This is the time line that I am going to give to him. I can’t verify some of the dates but I’ve done my best. I don’t understand why all of these dates are important to Durandal, but he’s threatened to isolate me with some of those weird S’pht things if I don’t do this.  Its bad enough being the only human around, keeping company with compilers for too long would make one mad.
