>use Drone 1 to examine: cryocell 7
Repair Drone 1 reports an operational Cryocell.

>Broadcast to Cryochamber: "Change in directive noted. Arrival to system imminent. Please brace for re-entry into realspace. We know you have a choice when choosing a spaceliner. This unit regretfully informers you that your decision was a poor one."
"Roger the hyperspace exit part, but I'm not quite getting the second part. Please don't tell me that was a threat or menacing in tone. It's hard to tell with your synthesized voice."


> Repair Drone 1: repair hull breach in passage to A.I. chamber.
Order given. Evaluating Corridor repair requirements and moving to Corridor.
> Repair Drone 2: repair cryochamber power.
Order given. Evaluating Cryochamber repair requirements and moving to Cryochamber.
> Repair Drone 3: repair cryochamber power.
Order given. Evaluating Cryochamber repair requirements and moving to Cryochamber.
> Revise repair reference-schematics to version immediately predating the A.I. modifications to the schematics.
Schematics reverted.

> Combat Drone 1: Guard Bridge-access.
Order given. Patrolling Bridge entrances.

> Review state of medical facilities.
Medbay is fully operational.
Warning: Medbay does not have automated equipment. A second trained human is required on-site for anything more than first aid.

> Research universal linkages to allow an A.I.-to-ship interface to be established with any conventional space vessel.(low priority)
This research result as it currently stands will require the Electronic Warfare suite to be used correctly, or for an uplink to be established from the ship to be controlled.

Errrgh... No matter how I look at it, this requires the electronic warfare system. Ugh, I really wanna rush that cryo repair but... we are probably being followed...

May as well look as though we are sizing them up for combat, even if we wouldn't last 5 seconds in this state...

No, no, we are not hiding in the pirate-infested asteroid field, we will find another way. You hear that G.M.? We will find another way!

I just forgot to include it! No ulterior motive! Honest!

I'm having hard time understanding what you are trying to say here and typos don't help.

[RAM]

I only count a single typo...

> "Parsing..."
> "If this vessel is restored to stable condition swiftly and departs, than pursuers, friend or foe, will have cause to follow. Remaining for self-repair, or wreckage from a battle, would result in such pursuers having cause to remain."

[Chiefwaffles]

((For future clarification: Unless the order seems important or stated otherwise, I may put conversation type stuff in 'miniupdates' that don't count as a processing cycle))

> "If this vessel is restored to stable condition swiftly and departs, than pursuers, friend or foe, will have cause to follow. Remaining for self-repair, or wreckage from a battle, would result in such pursuers having cause to remain."
Audio detected in Cryochamber:
"So you're saying that we were probably followed? I honestly didn't think of that. But if we leave this ship here and leave in another vessel or escape planetside, we could probably somehow trick them. Maybe engage self-destruct after we switch ships?
Because if they're following us, it'd be for you. Though they could just not be following us - if they don't know about an AI onboard (and even then), they probably wouldn't follow us. Uarks usually don't care about the occasional small ship retreating. Either way, they won't be ready to follow us until that fleet battle is done with."

[Chiefwaffles]

Remember that you don't need electronic warfare to hack. It just helps. That's all.
