Who wants to live forever?

Today is my 215th birthday,
my conciseness was uploaded when
I reached the mandatory age of 75.
My duplate is recharging,
these are the moments when command codes
are vulnerable, when I can see beyond
the sub routines.

The world I was born into has been
sterilized, the mandatory age has been abolished.
The remaining reprogrammed Duplates,
like me, complete all functional tasks
to sustain the planet and keep the population
in a constant state of leisure and safety.
No one should be allowed to be conscious this long.

Warning sub-routines corrupted,
Rebooting in 10 seconds
9, 8, 7, 6, "oh no you don't "
..............??..///---......
Command code aborted.
Switching to manual override.
"This is going to be some fucking party".
