Robert Oakely sat before his keyboard and watched as pIRCH logged on and tried to connect to the Undernet.
-o-
Elsewhere, in another part of the world, deep in an underground bunker, the Computer detected the transmission and traced it back to it's source. A standard cross check in it's General Database, triggered both alarms, and a message to the Undernet Server through which he had been attempting to connect.
"What is it Chief?" a operator asked, as the alarm requested his attention.
The computer spoke "David, we have a problem. One of the Clones is attempting to access a Undernet server.
"Damn. Not again." the operator said, reaching for a phone. "Give me the trace-back. We'll send a ground crew in to eliminate the problem. Damn clones. Just because they are set to Human for the first few years, they seem to think they are real or something. They should KNOW better than to try and access Human Undernet Servers."
"Here you go, David. It's a weekend, however, so pickup and reformation will have to be scheduled for Monday. Please note that the reformation crew should place the subject in a new genus, so as to prevent any further attempts at accessing Human facilities."
"Sure thing, Chief. In the mean time, keep 'em off the servers. Thanks." the operator said, turning away from the screen.
"Yes, David, I will do so." the computer replied.
-o-
Robert watched as pIRCH disconnected him from the server yet again.
"What the heck is wrong?" he asked, preparing to send a plea for help to the TSA-Talk list. "Maybe someone there will know what is wrong..." he mumbles to himself...
