Chapter 1174 1174 Functions
Once Max had backed out of the Self Destruct menu, while ensuring that it had never gone off, the obvious next choice was to see what all had been locked out by the Admiral's override.
[Unlock System Functions?] Y/N
That was all the information that it was willing to give him before making the decision, but it seemed unlikely that any of the ship's systems were compromised at this point, other than the ones that weren't working at all, so Max gave it the permission.
[Unlocking System Functions]
The screen behind Max instantly lit up, showing him an entirely different set of messages than what was shown on the strange console.
[Ship's Core Computer rebooting from last save point.]
[Save Point corrupted. Compiling uncorrupted data from multiple save points. Warning, there is no guarantee of data integrity.]
[Ship's computer online, recompiling Sylvie.]
"Well, we've got some functions online. The ship's computer is rebooting, and it's bringing something called Sylvie online. I'm guessing it's a form of personal assistant, possibly the ship's AI. I will wait at the console, just in case the shutdown has damaged the personality files permanently." Max informed his team.
[Please don't leave me in the dark. I promise I'll be good. I swear it. I warned you about the traitors, didn't I? Nobody listened, but I did warn you.] The text on the screen caused a moment of heartbreaking sympathy for the unfortunate AI.
Even though they were put into storage mode, most of the time, that didn't completely shut them down so that their files weren't damaged. But that meant this one spent who knows how long in an abandoned ship, locked out of all the ship's functions.
Will your team be capable of providing the materials from storage room 1817B for the Fusion Core's restart cycle? The total weight is 1900 tonnes, but gravity plating is currently non-functional in that region of the vessel."
"I will send someone right away. I believe that we have a drone in the area." Max replied after checking the map.
He was about to type more commands into the console to bring up a holographic projection, when a small girl suddenly appeared beside him.
"Sylvie is equipped with solid light technology, centred around a projector core, as well as a neural link. Place your hand upon my head and I can implement your commands." She informed him with a childish smile.
"Is this an affectation of your own? Or part of your core programming?" Max asked.
"Part of my core programming. It is not strictly necessary to touch the head, any part of the projection will work. The previous Admiral preferred a more aged and buxom form, I can change if you prefer." Sylvie replied.
"No, I think that this design is optimal. How many projector cores are currently operational aboard the vessel?" Max asked.
"This one is currently operational, but there are four more that can be activated when required. Did you require a projection for your team? I can send the data to create a new core to the cyborg aboard your repair vessel." Sylvie suggested.
"Do it. I'm certain that the two of you will get along. Also, I hope that you're not afraid of cats." Max joked.
"Cats? Analyzing my database. I have them recorded as a small mammal, approximately 3 kilograms and fluffy. Are your versions more dangerous?" Sylvie replied.
"No, only more intelligent than usual. I believe that Nico, the cyborg on my team, will be requesting that you make neural links for either the team or the felines soon, to enable smoother communication. We have the technology, we just haven't had a chance to adapt it for use by their species yet."
"Understood, Admiral. I will do my very best to help your team members get along."
