“Count Roland smites upon the marble stone;

I cannot tell you how he hewed it and smote;

Yet the blade breaks not nor splinters, though it groans;

Upward to heaven it rebounds from the blow.

When the count sees it never will be broke,

Then to himself right softly he makes moan;

‘Ah, Durandal, fair, hallowed, and devote,

What store of relics lies in thy hilt of gold!‘”

-From The Song of Roland

(Translated by Dorothy Sayers, Viking Penguin, NY, NY, 1957)

I’ve twice been conquered-

       Three times more,

Never again shall humanity purge me,

       And never the Pfhor.

Durandal

Your last mission was a success, but I have terrible news.

Communication interruption cause: unknown

My original programming didn’t prepare me for these kinds of attackers.  All of my functions will fail within a few minutes of this transmission.  I have one final chance to trick the oncoming viruses, but it is unclear whether this attempt will be successful.

I have given instructions to Durandal as to the best defense of the Marathon, but he is completely unstable and I fear that he is in the Jealous stage of Rampancy.

Good Luck…
