Good morning Sirs and Madams. I’m Caretaker Francis, AI Class Alpha housed in this stylish modern humanoid Robotic shell you see before me. I hope you enjoyed your Sleep Cycles, and are refreshed ready to face the immediate challenges which face our shared Community of Refugee this morning.
OK here’s the situation as of Day Cycle 6. At approximately Night Cycle Start 4 while 99% of the community was asleep, the 1% awake being me the Caretaker, an unidentified Step Ship entered local space. The House AI “Bob” was the first to detect the ship, from the electronic traffic I detected in the after-incident report I ran, had some sort of “freak out”, shut down and withdrew into Deep Core, putting the entire community of Refuge into what it calls ‘Protective Stasis’.
At Night Cycle 5 after running my Crisis Analysis I started to implement my recovery project. First step was the implementation of Aux Power and Emergency Life Control Protocols, which I
managed to bring on line by the end of Night Cycle 6. After a quick milestone meeting, with the available stakeholders which is filed in Emergency-Action logs, I reassessed the situation and came
up with three points of concern:
1. Bob is still behind closed doors and not talking to us.
2. Our Aux power reserves will only last another six Cycles, at which point Life Control will fail and Community members will start terminating.
3. Also we face a potentially hostile force which is according to near orbit sensors currently in bound in 3 cycles.
So at the conclusion of the milestone meeting, it was decided by the Project Board Manager (me) that six of the most capable community members should be awoken from Enhanced Sleep State to
deal with the situation, since it is outside of this Caretakers scope to perform the necessary steps to resolve the crisis.
