[BEGIN LOG]

K: Tell me again, please. We're recording now.

D: Sure. I made this thing to access information. I think secrets are a kind of theft, you know? Anyway, I started to test it out.

K: And could you please describe how you made it?

D: I told you, it's hard to explain. I, you know, bought this phone, and I made it get information. I think it's not really changing what it can do so much as taking away things it can't do. Does that make any sense?

K: I think that's for researchers to decide. You'll be working closely with them for the foreseeable future.

D: You could just ask the Help Desk how I did it, you know. That might be easier. Not as secret, though.

K: [three seconds of silence] I'll pass your suggestion along. Next question: did you intend for it to publish all this information in news media?

D: No. I didn't even know it was happening at first. After I got here, I looked back through some old newspapers, and I'd see shit like the mass of the sun, or how old Betty White is, or whatever, in the sports section of the New York Times or something. But I didn't know that was happening until that front page article.

K: And which article was that?

D: My Social Security Number. I figured, okay, the Help Desk can fetch me any information that Google can. That was the first step. But then I decided I'd try to fish for secrets, and my SSN seemed like the place to start.

K: Front page news, right?

D: Right. Not only was that number front page news the next day, everyone on TV was talking about it that night. I was fucking scared, dude. I called the Help Desk and asked it, you know, what the fuck?

K: What did it tell you?

D: It told me it was doing what I designed it to, bring secrets out into the open. And I told it "no, dumbass, I wanted to expose the fraud that the government or Wall Street or whoever is doing right now, not publish my fucking Social Security Number."

K: What did it tell you?

D: It told me, really politely too, that I was only saying that because it was my secrets being dug up. My Social Security Number? Like, seriously? That's not even interesting enough to be news, but hey, everyone in the world learned it anyway.

K: Finally, if you'd tell me again how you found the Foundation.

D: Well, I asked the Help Desk who to give the phone to, you know, to keep it safe, keep it from being misused. And it told me all about the Foundation, as well as exactly how to get to Site-81, how to get in, who to give it to, with a lot of detail, as well. All of that turned out to be right, and, well, sorry about the news stories the next day.

K: I'm told you drained a lot of our resources with that stunt. That's no small feat.

D: Well, I live in a cell now, and all my friends and family think I'm dead. So, you know, I got justice, if you want to call it that.
