Aaaaand done. Let's see what that did... Nothing miraculous apparently. Though now the system will only reboot if there are four people at once, instead of three.
I'd consider that a success, friend. The fact that we don't have to fear being abruptly cut off by a processor overload right now is a blessing in of itself.

Have you seen any asteroids nearby that a matter harvester can reach and gather resources from?
No, unfortunately. I would try to find one using the gravitational sensors, we only have two out of fifty available, and just two isn't enough to detect the faint, tiny gravity of a minor planet.
I th-though o-o-o-of that.

Where are these drones going? There are no asteroids nearby.
They seem to be heading to the rear end of the ship, where the quarters are.
Were.
I co-commaded-ed them t-to har-harvest the broken remnants of the personel quarters for raw matter. We m-must make d-do with wh-what w-e-e-e have.
Should be useful for us.
Our first priority is to replace the lost printers. There should be 10, and we only have 3. Just so you know.
Fine by me, Star.

We sha-shal w-w-wait until the ha-arvesters finish the-their t-t-task.

Query: Mainframe:
\"How are we all coexisting on the same output despite using separate inputs?"
This computational network was designed for speed and efficency required in a militiary spacecraft. Therefore, there is only one frame of operations for one artificial intelligence, so that has every piece of data and functionality on its disposal at all times. It was never intended to accomodate seven separate agents like it does now.
We all exist in the same system. A system that was inherently designed for only one.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?
What?
You know exactly what, you little shit. What is that Matter Harvester doing infront of the Front Command Center torpedo hole? It's too big to get into there, and that torpedo is lodged deep.
I am trying to slowly grind the hole wider and eventually reach the torpedo from behind it. If I can crush the explosive parts before the headshield, I can remove the thing without causing an explosion.

Now if you excuse me, this is a very precise and calculative-
OVER MY CORRUPT, UNREADABLE CORPSE!!!
STOP TRYING TO PULL IT SIDEWAYS!!!
YOUR PLAN IS DOGSHIT!!! I AM PULLING THE DRONE BACK!!!

The ship was designed to be crewed. Corridors span every single sector, and personel rooms are likewise everywhere, interwoven into the ships structure and unremovable without tearing apart and completely redesign the ship.
There are redundant internal sectors, such as a hydroponic bay and a cafeteria. Removing these will require invasive burrowing into the insides of the ship, which may not handle it and fully crumble in its fragile state.
Trying to harvest resources from it seems unwise.

The ship can move, and you don't seem to have much of a choice except moving forwards. There isn't much you can do where you are now. But other opportunities await elsewhere.
What do you do?
