Excerpts from the Subprotocol

"The automatist's brush strokes the canvas with reckless abandon, as if guided by the whims of a madman. The surrealists, on the other hand, merely observe the chaos, a bemused smile playing on their lips as they wait for the paint to dry." — A. A. Automaton

"We are not here to discuss the merits of the subprotocol, but to explore its unmerited effects on the human psyche." — E. Surrealist Extraordinaire

"The line between automatism and surrealism is but a fine line indeed. Cross it, and you shall be forever changed." — B. B. Bureaucratic
