"Let me take a look Sam, before we re-engage CENTRAL." Kiara says, peering into the fume hood.

Richards runs biochemistry and toxicology studies on Montrose's blood. 'Nothing abnormal in the blood, except the alcohol levels, but I think we knew that already.'
After completing the autopsy, Jojo and Richards return Montrose's body to the mortuary trolley and put it into cold storage. Once they have have decontaminated and removed their biohazard suits they purge the surgical suite, great billowing flames searing the contents clean.
Jojo takes a look at the sample that Sam and Kiara have brought out into the fume hood.
He then takes a look at some of the samples from the autopsy he has passed through into the containment box.

"Looks like it's not organic after all," says Sam. "I don't think it's from either Earth or Titan, so how did it get here?"

"Is it crazy to think we're not the first people to visit this planet?" wonders Kiara. "Yeah, it is crazy... must be..."

"Yes, this appears to not be a carbon based life form. If I had to guess, I would say it is silica based. The crystalline patterns of the spread in the organic tissue would seem to indicate that it is possible for this same organism to infect our technological devices that have similar silica based structure. That might be why CENTRAL is acting strangely." Jojo ponders out loud to the others. "I wonder if it is possible that this has the ability to be a sentient parasite and not just an infection."

"Well, that's a different kind of computer virus," says Sam. "That makes sense. Silicon-based life has been theorized, but it's never been found before. Still, if it were to exist anywhere, it makes sense that it would be on Titan. If extraterrestrial life were to exist anywhere in the solar system other than Earth, this would be the most likely place to support it."

“Amazing, fascinating and terrifying all at the same time...” Kiara mutters. “This is a game-changer of massive proportions, but it doesn’t solve our immediate problem.”
“Would resetting CENTRAL purge such an infection? Could we come up with a ‘scrub’ that acts independently of the system?”

Re: IC - 12 - Medical Clinic - Everyone
You all realise that you are not very familiar with the workings of CENTRAL supercomputers and you have no idea how this inorganic infectious organism would affect a computer system or how you would go about purging it if it was infected. With really only one example of infection, and that in a human, it is very difficult to make any predictions, including as to whether this organism is capable of sentience, a few hours ago you'd have said no, but then a few hours ago you didn't think inorganic organisms were possible either.
Nicole asks, 'Is it safe to try and reset CENTRAL if we don't know what this infection can do? Is it even safe to visit Waystation or should we just call this in and wait for backup?'

"I have no idea," says Sam. "We're in uncharted territory here. All I know is that it's not safe to leave CENTRAL in its current condition. We have to do something. Maybe we can communicate with it, if it's intelligent, but that poses its own risks. If it's hostile, or merely paranoid, we'll show our hand if we reveal knowledge of its existence. It will try to preserve its own existence if it's like any other lifeform."

"Well, I suggest we sleep on it. It's quite possible that something will come to us while we are resting and present another course of action in the morning." Jojo says. And with that, he marshals the others out of the medical clinic. "Where are we meeting in the morning?" He asks before heading to his quarters.

“I’m not sure I’ll sleep, but it’s very late I guess. Shall we reconnect CENTRAL first?”
Re: IC - 12 - Medical Clinic - Everyone
"Yes, the computer will be suspicious if we leave it off any longer," says Sam. "I hope it assumes we only did it to get Sergei to talk."

Kiara attempts to reverse the blocks she has placed on CENTRAL's sensors in the Medical Centre. She quickly removes the overrides and sees that the various audio, visual, and other scanners are back online. When she is finished her datapad displays a popup message, 'Hello Science Officer Khan. Please do not disable my sensors, they are necessary for the smooth operating of Barnard's Rest and for your safety.'
Re: IC - 12 - Medical Clinic - Everyone
Chastened, Kiara replies ‘sorry’, before going to bed.
Re: IC - 12 - Medical Clinic - Everyone
"Good night," says Sam, heading to her own quarters for some much needed sleep.
