As for whether it was Hell or not, Alvin hadn't noticed anything...
But he could tell that Old Electronic's gaze kept drifting toward Alita.
Gripping JARVIS by the neck of his machine body, Alvin turned him around...
Alvin sneered. "You could've sent us a message, Captain JARVIS.
Were you hoping to try some steak?
Then you'd need a human body first..."
JARVIS glanced at Stark, who was pretending not to know him. His mechanical eyes flickered as he said to Alvin, "I've been considering that...
I heard about the Cradle of Life...
I'm thinking about whether I should have a body made for myself.
Of course, only with Mr. Stark's approval..."
As he spoke, JARVIS struggled free of Alvin's grip...
He held his slightly crooked neck with both hands and said to Alvin, "Alvin, you've got the wrong idea about me...
I'm interested in Alita..."
Before JARVIS could finish, Alvin rushed forward, hooked an arm around his neck, and tried to wrench his head off...
JARVIS's electronic eyes flickered rapidly. He struggled against Alvin's tightening arm and said, "This housekeeping robot cost five million dollars..."
That outrageous price saved JARVIS...
JARVIS slipped free of Alvin's loosening arm. Holding his loose neck and jaw, he said miserably, "I was just curious...
Curious about the soul-like quality Alita has!
I have the most powerful computing ability and the intelligence to think independently, but I always feel like something is missing.
Alita and I both share the traits of that alien electronic life, but she's much more human than I am."
Alvin looked contemptuously at JARVIS, whose neck was crooked and jaw sagging. "How could a guy who lives in a computer all day become human?"
JARVIS looked at Alvin, hesitated, then said, "It's hard to explain...
Because you definitely wouldn't understand!"
