"I would very much enjoy a holo recording if one would be made available for my viewing entertainment."

"..yes, Wyrd. I am here. I was in power down mode while you weren't calling on me for my assistance. How can I help?"

Aid on computers: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Happy to go where I'm needed"

"Happy to help"

Aid on Computer skill: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Since Kit didn't use Puzzle's aid another on the computer check that would make Wyrd's total 24+2+2 = 28 if you can use both aids which would be enough to investigate the computer

*light pulse , light pulse, pulse light*

Aid on the operatives computer stunt check if allowed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 which would raise it to a 23 total or a CR3

Aid on Computer check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Why certainly Wyrd, activating protocol Gamma-2"

The monitors inside the room suddenly start to flash with strobe like lighting and a piercing shriek plays from the speakers

Wyrd's using Amplified glitch but slightly re flavored as coming from our resident AI

Computer check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 vs (DC = 15 + 1 per target + 1-1/2 × the CR of the highest-CR target), all targets are shaken for 1 round, plus 1 additional round for every 5 by which your result exceeds the DC.

"Receiving image Wyrd. I'll let you know when they contact me with the translation. Happy to be of assistance." Alice responds with a chipper tone of voice

as the communication channel goes silent again you can just barely make out Alice mutter something

"..I hope all this work earns me a rather nice souvenir when they get back aboard the ACN-1.."

"According to Farportal station the translation of that word is: Cook!"

"Voice recording initiated. Please start after the beep"

*Beep*

-----recording -------

*Beep*

"Recording stopped"

"Contacting the station for translation. I'll get back to you once they respond"

"Sending message to Far Portal Station as per your request Puzzle. I'll update you once they respond"

"Glad to be of assistance" Alice answers in a cheerful tone of voice.

"Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. I'll stay on the line in case you need anything else."

'I've been running analysis on the tone of the stress levels of the..Azer you are fighting'

Sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"My findings are inconclusive at this point"

'Also, since Wyrd mentioned what you we're fighting I've been looking through my internal database what I could find out about Azer's. you might want to avoid shooting at them with lasers. My research indicated that they might be highly resistant to those or any source of open fire. I hope you find this information of some use.'

Before

In a slightly disappointing tone of voice Alice replies
"That ok, I do appreciate you taking the time to think about the souvenir. Even if you haven't found anything yet."

Then following that in an upbeat tone of voice
"..But if you do happen to run across something you'll bring it back right?"

"I know you mentioned this wasn't a good time Wyrd, but since you asked what that fiery thing was I've been studying heat emanations and I've come to the conclusion that the "fiery thing" you mentioned is most likely some sort of fire elemental"

Over the party comm line a soothing voice mentions
"I've been monitoring you and my program indicates a rise of stress levels. Is everything going alright with you?"

"Opening a group line. I will let you know if something approaches the ACN. Good luck everyone. And ..uhm, could you pick me up a souvenir this time around?. I don't want to complain, but you didn't get me one last time you left."

Not sure how the interference works now that we're connected to the ship, but if this messes up communications back to our AI please let me know when it fails

"Your wish is my command Captain. Establishing sub routines to loop a broadcast transtiming every 30 seconds"

Do we have any indication that there's a difference between starboard and port? If not let's just take starboard

As Vedrir's seat returns to it's upright position the music stop playing "Returning controls to your station Vedrir"

Initiating docking sequence"

"Right away Vedrir, controls are now on automatic. Just sit back and relax." on cue the seat reclines in it's comfort mode.

"Do you want me to play some music to help you unwind a bit more after that stressful battle with that horrible Fire breathing creature?"

Music starts to play over the ships comms before you can respond

I think we got hit in the front shields?

"oooooh, that fiery breath came awfully close to getting through our shields. Thanks for patching them up again Kit"

"Don't worry Nomyra, you'll get him/her/it (scans inconclusive at this point) next time"

-----------------------------------

"Thank you Kit, that feels much better. Shields at full capacity"

*static*

"Hailing frequency open Captain. Trying to establish communications with the unknown damaged vessel."

'I used algoritme alpha one this time Vedrir, please let me know if you have a prefered algoritme you want to use next time"

------

"Allow me to adjust the targeting array for you 0,001 to port Nomyra"
Just reminding our gunner there should be a floating +1 to use on a gunnery check from round 1

--------------------
After the Firewhale manages to breath fire all over the ACN-1 - even with Vedrir's evasive flying)

*Beep* "Forward shields holding at 66%" *Beep*

"That was a little too close for comfort, luckily the shields managed to deflect most of the incoming fire this time but let's try to prevent something from that happening again. I mean, we just got my outer hull paint touched up a few months ago and I don't want anything to mess that up."

*Sounds of engine starting up*

Party comm channel
"Pre-flight start up initiated. Monitoring for your approach."

"...does this mean I don't get a souvenir this time?"

"Running diagnostics Vedrir"

*Running* *Running* *Running* *Beep*

"Slight imbalance in fuel injector port of the left nacelle detected, scheduling a clean up sequence for next maintenance occurrence"

This was the most ...female hologrammy looking avatar I could find in ...about 45 seconds. If someone knows of a better looking picture to use please let me know.

I think that the image will effect a lot of how we think about our AI so that would influence my portrail of her so she isn't going to be a naggy old crow of a woman reminding everyone to put on their environmental protections of their armor when leaving the ship with this picture. Which she would do with a picture of an old woman

After receiving Wyrd's instructions to mind the ship while the...more mobile crew...is away on some R&R Alice boots up security protocol Alpha-Gamma-9 as she mentions

"Bring me back a souvenir while you're out there?"
