***ANAD to Hub…ANAD detecting acoustic signals consistent with configurations (Concern) and (Apprehension) in local human elements…measuring high levels of electromagnetic emissions from amygdala and hippocampus regions of human processors…sharp drop in skin conductance…parsing emissions as (fear) complex…Hub, do you have explanation for this anomaly?***

  Winger gave Barnes a knowing glance. “ANAD, you failed the combat replication test. Your config engine went into overdrive…we have to find out why.”

  ***ANAD memory registers show two hundred and five occurrences of conflict with Prime Key…overload permitted lockout of all internal inhibits…commanded replication was executed until conflicts could be resolved***

  Winger decided it was time to be firm. “ANAD, I want you to stay here, on this deck. Stay here and don’t go anywhere else. That’s an order. I need to look at your processor routines and algorithms, try to figure out what’s happening.”
