[Video: Wednesday, Week 48] Hopefully we skip past singing 'Daisy Bell'.

[The backdrop is a middling familiar one to anyone who's been paying the slightest bit of attention to the goings-on with Salvation, consoles of a futuristic bent: mostly functional, bulkheads: some damaged. Kaidan is leaning up against one of the bits of better-repaired tech, his communicator propped up to let him speak as if giving an interview.

(To the annoyance, somewhere in the multiverse, of one Diana Allers, he seems a lot more open about this one.)]

So, ah, hey there.

This is Kaidan Alenko, since I know we've had some new people wake up since the last time I was on the network. I'm one of the people that's been working on the ship, among other things, and I figured I should let you all know how it's going.

Ah... specifically I'm trying to bring Salvation's ship's AI back online. AIs are kind've a touchy subject back where I'm from, and I imagine that's probably not an isolated experience, so I thought I may as well put this out there so people can get any questions or concerns out now, instead of after they've tried storming the ship and ended up put inside a force field by it.

If there are any newly decanted engineers or other folks with mechanical or electrical skills, we could sure use more hands on this project too. I'm hoping that bringing Salvation back online will let us figure out how best to fix her so we can work on getting home again.

So this is why I haven't heard from you in awhile. You've been up to your eyeballs in wires and motherboards, haven't you?

Oh, hey, right, I talked to that gal, too. The AI. Salvation. Whatever.

She was kinda weird.

[Have the most unhelpful reply ever, Kaidan. Sorry about that.]

You're really tryin' to get her back up, huh? But then, y'know, she might... actually have security t'throw at people when they mess up.

[He also remembers being thrown in spaceship-jail and then possibly dying when the ship crashed, and he doesn't want that to happen again.]

I must be going crazy because I could have sworn you said youwere trying to bring an AI back online.

If any more idiots storm the ship, we're leaving them in their box.

Do we have any idea what the hell this thing's capable of? [ She sounds wary, but a hell of a lot more open-minded than when he tried to win her over on the Authorities. Her main concern isn't the nature of the AI on the scale of trustworty to rampant, but more, how much damage the ship could do if Kaidan did manage to 'wake it up'.

Because there are quite a few people left in pods that she'd take particular offense to seeing any kind of harm. ]

I've had some experience with AI's and I'd be happy to help. Is there a way we could directly connect to her systems so we could talk to her before we bring her up completely?

Just in case she tries to vaporize us or shunt all the oxygen out.

[When it came to crazy AI's, well the Andromeda crew had their fill]

[Putting this on audio to sidestep all of the questions because those have been rampant ever since V got here.] Though unfamiliar with an 'AI', I may be able to assist in reconstructions of a previously-extant one using my cantrips. It is not as if I have anything more productive to do with them.
