After fucking with the doors ' such he decides to step up its game, messing with whatever minor systems that aren't necessary to keep organics alive.

((NOTE: didn't post the full results of observation because it will take a few days at least to do a proper sweep with the telescope, during which other stuff is happening))
((As for specific details on the anomaly, like how much data etc, Zalzok and Kevak would probably better handle that IC.))

The anomaly in the core continues ignoring attempts at communication, and increases the severity of its disruptions. Closing doors, flicking lights, venting and repressurizing rooms, oscillating climate control, and (having temporarily gained access to some of them) causing several of the drones to move about randomly. However, it doesn't seem to be doing anything to threaten anyone's safety, perhaps intentionally.

The AI restricts the abnomally's access to things and pings it. Testing to determine nature. Your datasize is similar to an S0 AI.

You were getting close to vital subsystems and nonvital but important subsystems.

Well excuse me for wanting to romp around and explore, after all I only just showed up here. Yeesh. Sub-this and nonvital-that. The heck is this all about anyway?

On his way to the doc's room to complete the order, a door slammed in MIKE's face. His resulting rage woke Michael up. MIKE touched some exposed wiring in the door and subdivided a minute data particle to explore for who had done this.

((Exposed electrical wiring would not allow you to access any data from anything important. That's not how computers work. Also there wouldn't be exposed wiring, it's a liability around organics. Not to mention touching a live electrical wire would fry your passenger. Also.. "Subdividing a minute data particle?" Really? That makes literally zero sense. Data isn't particles, it's electric current. Normally encrypted to noncomprehension for anyone without a way to deode it, subdividing makes no sense, it basically means taking a dividend and making it smaller. Not to mention you can't even access anything in the ship's controls directly even if you tried, the only spots that accept commands are the bridge and individual interfaces for specific parts of the ship and the Core. Said Core has a higher command priority then minor interfaces and is on equal footing with the bridge so long as an authorized person is using the bridge, aka captain.

TL;DR: Your action makes 0 sense and your technobabble needs work.))

Ah, you're a bud. Exploring involves not breaking things. The majority of subsystems are run by savant AI, easiest way to manage everything without any real risk of things breaking or getting distracting. Feel free to explore, just do your best not to injure anyone.

"Doors can injure. Unlike drones, most organics have problems surviving sudden impacts. I think they should have their skeletons replaced with something durable and get plated with metal so they're less prone to die. However from what I understand, they like their frailty. Bit disturbing."

((In high-tech spaceship like this it actually would be optical data. Any tampering with data would be very visible.))
((Only if you watched it while it happened. And that most certainly did not happen. Not to mention that what did happen was an instruction for a door to close, that's not a tamper.))

((I meant type of external tampering what InsaneGame27 is doing. It would requiere detaching optic fiber and either connecting directly on it or setting man-in-middle type system. Either way, some system would receive "Connection lost" error.))

That is silly, all of that. So what are the organics doing with this ship anyway? Even more silly things?
