"Four days! That's a lot! I guess no 3 wishes a minute then?" Arrow shakes it's... her head.
"If this unit were to undertake a maximum, level 12 alteration, consisting of four simultaneous total mental alterations, total body genus shifts, total mass to be altered on the order of 625lbs all at once, the Quantum State Lock would last approximately 397 days."
"Ouch! Four simultaneous mental alterations? You mean you can change multiple people's minds at once?"
"If they are all in physical contact with each other at the time of alteration and one member of the group is within fourteen meters of my Core Matrix, and Quantum State Lock is currently not in effect."
"Huh." Marge says simply, blown away. This is incredible, but she'll have to be careful what she changes or she'll likely be stuck with the results a while! "How much time do reality changes take to happen?"
"This depends on the unit in question. The higher level units generally take longer to affect reality, sometimes as much as several minutes, though they are capable of more long reaching effects. Although this unit is only capable of level 12 alterations it is a highly advanced model with quasi-bifurcating semi-sentience routines to increase speed of effect. Usual effects for this unit take between 0.25 seconds to 1.5 seconds to occur. Note, any partially altered object, living or not, will not be affected by outside events or variations in itself that may be harmful during alteration. No living being has died during an alteration event, though many have died after such events have concluded."
Another long speech, though not as long as before. She seems not to like taking a breath... or just doesn't feel the need.
"You said you are semi-sentient? What does that mean exactly?"
"Sentience refers to emotional understanding, not cognition. Emotional awareness is necessary at some level in every unit that alters reality. Cognition is also required though true sapience is not. Most reality alteration units are large scale structures and not mobile but retain some form of artificial intelligence both to interact with humans and to enable them to alter reality."
"OK, but are you Sapient? And how Sentient are you? Are you like a real person?"
