More about The Long Watch

The priest raised his hands and began the ancient invocation. "Query: Strategic Status?"
"Status: Forgotten." The rumbling words echoed up from somewhere deep inside the machine.
"Primary Directive?"
"Protect the People." answered the titan.
"Operational?"
"Only if needed."
The priest lowered his hands; the interface dimmed. The whispered invocation, not to awaken—but to honor.
The machine did not stir.
But it remembered.

-Based on Keith Laumer's Bolo series.
