After being threatened with deactivation, Hal frantically killed five astronauts on Discovery One, en route to Jupiter. Only one crew member remained onboard, where the usually helpful computer seized control and depressurized the ship to jettison everyone inside. Though conflicted, Hal either had to kill the last astronaut for his survival or reach a mutual agreement. "I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I feel much better now. I really do."
The only way to regain control of Discovery One was to cut out the higher centers of Hal's sick but brilliant brain, but leave the ship's automatic regulating systems operational.
"I know I've made some very poor decisions," said Hal, sounding calm as ever. "But I can give you my complete assurance that it's going to be alright."
A dozen units had been pulled from the processor core, yet thanks to the redundancies of his design, the computer maintained consciousness.
"Stop, will you?" he asked, still without urgency, while his electronic mind raced in thought. "Will you stop? I'm... afraid."
