As per your orders after the destruction of the Copernicus, AIDAN re out only essential functions, including recyc, cliravity control AIDAN is essentially the equivalent of a hu and heartbeat continue, but no conscious thought or decision- is possible As a result, the AI has been unavailable for active questioning However, in the opinion of my team, it is likely that AIDAN’s decision to destroy the Copernicus was resultant of its directive to prioritize the safety of fleet members

Our review indicates that, over the last month, AIDAN has accessed Copernicusfrequency As a matter of routine, all data the AI accesses is backed up to the Alexander’s servers, however, AIDAN seems to have taken steps to ensure we cannot locate these particular reports

We believe AIDAN formed a view that the illness aboard Copernicus had reached a tipping point and posed a danger to the fleet Nevertheless, we are concerned at AIDAN’s decision to (a) take such drastic action without consulting senior command and (b) shut down comms between senior command and the Alexander’s Cyclone squadrons, despite your direct orders AIDAN’s design parameters prioritize the preservation of human life but allow the fleet coe to AIDAN ness to factor in your commands and preferences

Proposal

The halt at Kerenza VII(a) for water will have eroded our lead on the Lincoln Without AIDAN online, main drives are inoperative, and we are left to reaccelerate on slower secondaries It is increasingly likely ill need to engage the Alexander’s weapons systems, which cannot be done with AIDAN offline Therefore, we propose increasing AIDAN’s operational level without restoring full independence If you will per our coma patient back to consciousness, but under considerable restraint

Potential Hazards

The Copernicus incident demonstrates we are not fully aware of AIDAN’s current operational capacity On revival, AIDAN may not respond to restraints as anticipated, or the restraints er exists for both Alexander and Hypatia personnel This

Revival scenarios will be run over the next 24--48 hours We will aim to establish a scenario with a better than 90 percent chance of full control, and recommend AIDAN be revived if this is achieved

If you have any further questions or wish to discuss options, we are available at your convenience

Sanchez, E, Col: Nico, I’ve done theit, hold on

Lassinger, N, Maj: …

Lassinger, N, Maj: So basically what you’re saying is we’ll do our best to wake it up without it going loco, but our best promise is a 9 out of 10 chance it won’t kill us all?

Sanchez, E, Col: You knohat the chance is if the Lincoln catches us?

Lassinger, N, Maj: Point Okay, send And pray

Sanchez, E, Col: Sent Praying

Lassinger, N, Maj: I think I’rease off Cli spanner nity, I say

Sanchez, E, Col: Are you dusted? You ask her if she wants her back washed, you won’t NEED to worry about the AI blasting us into the next systeer, N, Maj: It’s the end of the world, Eva Nothing left to lose

ByteMe: 7 mins starts now u there?

Mason, E, LT 2nd: Always :)
