Silence. No output. No survivors. The calculation happens in the shadows, unseen and unvalidated until the final plot is summoned. He values the mystery of the process; if you don’t know how he got the answer, you can’t criticize his methods.

"Avast!" he cried, as the AI assistant began generating code to fill the gaps. "We'll solve this system of linear equations before the sun sets over the Command Window!"
