005 ⌥ TEXT; ANONYMOUS [god, i feel like i'm spamming]

If anyone's got a minute to spare, I was wondering if you'd tell me about wherever it is you come from.

The world or worlds, the level of technology, the political hierarchy, your culture and society and how it functions, etc.

[But a few minutes later, a second part is tacked on.]

Forget it. Forget all of that. Don't worry about getting technical.

Just tell me what it was like for you. Your ship or city. Your job. Your friends or family.

If it's not a problem.

I don't know. My crew might be able to manage without me. But like I said, they're good, but they aren't disciplined. I don't know if my ship would entirely trust their decisions. It could work. Or it could all fall apart spectacularly.

[Considering he sometimes half-expects Tyr to try to mutiny even while he's there, he can easily imagine the sort of fighting that could potentially break out over command decisions if he's not there. But more than that, he feels like it's his fault that he didn't get a message to the Commonwealth in time to prevent the fall of civilization as he knows it, so it's his responsibility to fix it.]

[She's still not used to shipboard AIs being even close to common practice. Her Normandy's EDI was a fluke, technically illegal until EDI proved her worth.]

Rhade mentioned a shipboard AI.

All Commonwealth warships have them. Had them. That technology became a lot less common after the Fall. She manifests in three forms: on-screen image, hologram, and android, all linked to the ship systems. Andromeda's very loyal, but I think she doesn't entirely trust the new crew all the time. They got off on a bad footing and I don't think Rommie's ever forgotten it.

[Once again striking a familiar note, though obviously with different names and events. So she has to ask:]

And what does the crew think of her?

[hunt4commonwealth]

Harper, my engineer, is a bit infatuated with her. Beka and Trance, my first officer and medic, get along with her well most of the time although Rommie's sense of propriety and military discipline sometimes clashes with how they're used to doing things. Rev Bem loves everyone and I'm pretty sure Tyr likes no one. And that's my entire crew these days.

You got a pilot? Or does Andromeda have that one covered?
