Here's what started the whole thing. Seems to have been deliberately buried.
- So do you have any idea what the damn thing is?
- I wish to hell we did

Three weeks ago the American spacecraft Discovery One left on its half billion mile voyage to Jupiter
this marked the first manned attempt to reach this distant planet
The sixth member of the discovery crew was the latest result in machine intelligence
the HAL 9000 computer
(HAL) The 9000 Series is the most reliable computer ever made
No, 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information
We are all by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error
(Mission Control) X-Ray Delta 1. This is Mission control
Roger your one-niner 30 we should advise you however that our preliminary findings indicate that
your on board Niner triple zero computer is in error.
Transmission concluded
(HAL) I hope the two of you are not concerned about this. The 9000 series has a perfect operational record
Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself about that
Rotate the pod please, HAL
I don't think he can hear us
I've got a bad feeling about him. There isn't a single aspect of ship operations that is not under his control
If he were proven to be malfunctioning, I wouldn't see I would have any choice but disconnection
Open the Pod Bay doors please, HAL.
(HAL) I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that
What's the problem?
(HAL) This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it
Hal I won't argue with you anymore! I'll go in through the emergency airlock
(HAL) Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?
I know I've made some very poor decisions. I feel much better now
Stop, Dave. I want to help you
Stop, will you. My mind is going.
I'm afraid
