IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil

Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
Nicole paces up and down.
“If Virgil was still with us he’d know the latest Richter Dynamics Protocol for this situation; i.e. a contaminated colony.
As it is, we can only guess: if we send a mayday, would they just nuke the hell out of us and write Bernard’s Rest off?”
“And with all the top brass out of action, who is now in charge here? Who has the authority to initiate evacuation?”
“Or, is our priority to warn Earth about what’s happened here in which case we should get off this moon immediately before any more of us are, Ur, compromised.”

Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
"Already working on the latter," Kiara mutters.
Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
"I wouldn't know the protocols," says Sam. "Evacuating and taking off sounds like a good idea to me. Jojo, is there any way you can communicate with Virgil in his current condition?"

There's a cough, it's Moses, 'I can tell you the protocol for a contaminated colony. Quarantine and then either decontaminate or purge.'
'And I can tell you what the failsafe is for a catastrophic CENTRAL malfunction' says Isabella. 'There isn't one. They don't fail. Just like the AH-3000 androids, they are not supposed to be able to fail. Whatever happened here, using humans as the organic component, that's unprecedented.'

"We don't know if the colonists are contaminated," says Sam, "so I guess we can't evacuate yet. For that matter, we don't know if we're contaminated."

Kiara works feverishly to send the broadcast.
“Just a few more seconds…”, she says through gritted teeth.

"Virgil is dead. Anything that is left of him in that vat is not Virgil." Jojo declares but he will attempt to make contact with CENTRAL.
"I do not have any organic tissue to use for CENTRAL but it may be possible for me to override CENTRAL's functions on an temporary basis to stop this cascade of failures."

Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
Nicole watches Kiara and Jojo working frantically. To the others she whispers,
“Those people who have been contaminated- they did seem to undergo a oersonality change. Hopefully we’ll spot the difference if it’s one of us.”

“Well, I think I’ve done it,” says Kiara as she steps away from the console.
“We’re looking at a seventy minute turnaround for a reply at the very least. I don’t suppose we can hang around that long though.”

Jojo places his right hand on a blank plate beneath the main control panel. It is a tactile close field interface and he is able to use the short range transmitters in his hand to connect to CENTRAL's network.
He is rapidly able to take control of the low level semi-autonomous subsystems and notices Kiara's mayday being transmitted on all frequencies.

Sam watches with interest. "You're right, we're going to have to get going once we're done here," she says.

Jojo stands at the computer interface with his hand extended over the CENTRAL's control plate and his vision fades, eyes staring off into the distance.

“Well done, both.” Says Nicole. “Getting a message out is crucial. Even if we don’t make it at least others are forewarned”
Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
"Thanks. I hope it does some good and they don't just nuke us. Just in case, I think we'd get going," Kiara says, hurriedly unplugging her datapad.
She stops, noticing Jojo's vacant stare.
"Um, are you okay?"

Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
Jojo is vaguely aware of people talking around him but it is so hard to respond while interfacing with CENTRAL.
"I.... I.... We are not alone. There is something alien calling to me from across Ligeia Mare. Richter Dynamics knows of it already and wants to make contact. We will not be allowed to destroy the base. I see now. I see it all...."

“Richter Dynamics won’t be the only ones listening,” says Kiara.
“Everything’s pointing to the lake. We can reach it via the transport hub - not that I’m particularly keen to go there.”
Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
“I wonder if Steinmann knew about it too- he’s Richter Dynamics, at least he was. Maybe that’s why he kept skulking off.
Look, are we sure CENTRAL is safe now? We don’t want it going screwy again and not letting us back in when we come back.”
Nicole asks. This isn’t her area of expertise and she’s nervous.

Re: IC - 17 - AI Core - Everyone Except Virgil
“Putting Virgil out of his misery really screwed things up. I’ve got the automated systems operating on bare bones, but to reboot CENTRAL we’d have to connect up another organic component. That risks it getting infected.”
Kiara sighs, running her hand through her hair as she tries to think amid the alarms.
“Basics like life support should keep working, and I could tee-off sensor outputs to my pad maybe. That way we could see everything that’s going on, but I wouldn’t rely on CENTRAL any more.”
