I can show you the conversation we had on my communicator, as well. [Putting his coffee down so he can reach into his jacket for it as well.] But John and I have been in his mind before - o-or his dreams, rather, where we were able to hold an actual conversation, without restrictions. He's not able to talk or give full verbal permission outside of that, his programming won't allow for it. And as far as we can tell, his programming forces him to- well, as you said, terminate anyone that threatens to learn something hidden beneath it.
[He finds the conversation, but holds his communicator in his hands, still.]
