I can't tell, did the ai blow himself up or did doctor Mason destroy the ai to prevent his escape?

Ah it was the AI self destructing, punching a hole ‘back behind the light’. Do you think it would be clearer if I axed the ‘last chance, Tim’ line?

It's a great story, but yeah, it did seem like the psychologist was threatening to destroy tim via a failsafe if he didn't start cooperating which made me wonder who killed Tim. Still fun. Also makes me wonder how the rest of the unawakened ais will respond since he said he was warning them.

Gotcha, my intention was to have Mason be on the brink of turning him off but then Tim blew himself up instead. Thanks for the feedback I’ll go have a tinker with it just now!
