<P>Mr. King sir,
<P>My team has been unable to determine the origins of the Narcissus Entity. All we know about the AI is that it appears to have taken residence in the server complex where it protects the systems from intrusion of any sort, which is why it reacted with such determination to the appearance of another AI within its systems.
<P>
<P>It would, however, seem that the Entity also exists somewhere else. The little information we have managed to retrieve from the short transmission sent to us by ShadowCode indicates that the part of the AI which guards the PDX server complex, and which attacked ShadowCode so swiftly and ferociously that it was nearly completely destroyed, is merely a small part of the larger organism of the Entity itself. The Narcissus Entity seems to be one with every system in PDX and very likely in all of ForumPlanet.
<P>
<P>I am afraid any hope of ever creating an artificial intelligence capable of defeating the Narcissus Entity is very small indeed. If you insist that we carry on, however, we shall continue our development, sir.
<P>
<P>Yours humbly,
<P>Professor Emmet Serpentine
