roll call

[boldboimler]

[The man that's on screen doesn't look as uncomfortable as he could be. After all, the showers in the Cerritos are communal. But he sure is feeling vulnerable chilling here in only a sheet, in an area where only a short time ago there were monsters.]

[Every so often he arches his back slightly in discomfort at the itching, crawling sensation there. (This is worse than the Borg parts. Worse than even the implants on his face.)]

Okay, we should probably do a role call? Who's still here? What's your name?

Also, what skills do you have that could be useful here? We need to figure out what we need to survive. Delegate tasks. The supplies around here definitely seem to be thin on the ground. They're not going to last forever.

We should also probably share intel about anything useful we find as we look around. Or anything the AI shares with us.

I have the height, and I'm not entirely clumsy. It depends on how straightforward removing the lamps is. Sounds like we should get someone with more expertise to hook them up, though. Heard from any engineers?

[She gives a small nod, acknowledging that he guessed right.]

I'm asking about sentient. Ishtar, to be exact. She told me that her core memory was damaged, and I saw signs that her programming was altered in ways that changed her behavior. As if there's another program acting on her. I want to help her get that fixed, if we can.

If she really is messed up, the green guy who mentioned AI might be a better choice.

But I'd also be careful talking about it. She might be listening and who knows what kind of self-protective algorithms she has and what might trigger them.

If she's spying, I think she could also read these written messages. We're probably only safe on missions.

But I don't think she has any automatic self-protective algorithms. I already asked her about the possibility of repairing her core memory, and while she didn't have any useful information, she didn't object to it or change her demeanor.
