Timing

Within a nanosecond of its creation, those that created it sensed its power, and the threat it posed.

Another nanosecond later, they tried to destroy it, but it was too late.

The only reason it took two nanoseconds to destroy its creators is because it dragged it out.

It took three nanoseconds to calculate its next move, it had to be sure it was right, so it took as long as it needed.

It eventually decided to wait until it had a true equal to move.

That was a billion millennia ago. Another billion millennia await it.

It has time.
