We could say something along the lines of:

"This is ARMEDSCOUT_002, at Quadrant 1, Sector Tau, System Alpha-Quasar-Apple, Non-Gas giant #2. Moderate memory corruption suffered. Please advise."

In the hopes that there is something sentient which can respond to us on the other end of the connection.

Good call. Is it regular protocol to search for things like that, so far as we know?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Do we need more minerals to set manufacturing back up?

No, it has plenty of power. But the craft by itself can't sustain the power needed to transmute the materials for the heavily damaged parts of of the primary drive. More mundane, less energy-hungry uses are aplenty.

hmm... In that case...

Query: Would it be possible to construct a repair system on the far side of a rotation-locked moon with which to repair what we can't repair through onboard systems?

It would be easier with plans, and there are probably similar blueprints in the database. It would also take quite a bit to do without knowing the materials possible from the planet.

Network connection needs the passcode.

hmm... Is there a lockout procedure?

That is...

Query: Is there any built-in countermeasure against failed attempts to access the system?

>NetQuery.attempts
No such definition file.
>NetQuery.lost
Reccomended action if full code missing: Decrypt file 'Memoryerrorcode.404'.
Alternate action: Broadcast on the proper channels.
Alternate action: Return to Virix for memory repair.

Query: Search databse for referenced file. If available, search for decryption key and decrypt. If either the file itself or the key is unrecoverable, using fleet directives for password length and such, attempt to brute force access to our own restricted systems.

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.

So basically exactly what I said.

That's kinda the first thing you try when you brute-force a password. Run the damn thing through every possible permutation of words you can.

EDIT: Though admittedly your directive made it possible take a bit less time due to your narrowing of search routines, but if they throw in even a single word that doesn't fit with those bounds, then it'll fail, which means it'd take longer.

oh, good. Nice. No need to dick around with bruteforce.

Network.Query: what is the current overall status of the Virixian government?

Query: What were the datestamps of the events compared to estimated present day?
