Selene quirked a quizzical smile as Snake, and according to his medical file that was his real name rather than a nickname, turned to begin dressing down a young marine with a large rifle. Another alert started playing over the PA system, something to do with crackers? This was a strange ship and no mistake.

[b]“AID,”[/b] she said, queuing the simple AI built into her helmet, [b]“Isolate pertinent information and display as text."[/b] Her HUD immediately flashed to life and a text crawl began moving across the top of her visor. [color=f7976a]Estimate engagement in 60 minutes[/color]. A timer began to run down based on the time of the transmission. [color=f7976a]Alice requesting access.[/color] Selene frowned.

“Define Alice,”[/b] she quered, pushing her way through the scrambling marines, making her way towards the auto armorer. [color=f7976a]Ship AI Callsign Alice[/color]. Ah that made sense the ship’s AI was more powerful than her AID by several orders of magnitude and there was no reason it shouldn’t have access to her unit while she was within easy transmission range of the ship. It was also being polite, any AI on a ship this size could crack her computer like a walnut.

[b]“Approve Alice and hold I’m going to suit up.”[/b] Selene reached the back of the cryo chamber and turned and walked towards the front again, carefully checking each pod. In the past people had been left in cryo accidentally, a mistake that could condemn them to die of hibernation sickness when their surfactant dose. Not today though, everyone was clear in the Marine section. Time to report it to medical and close up.

[b]“Dr Harvey,”[/b] she spoke into her communicator, [b]“Im closing cryobay 2 all pods are empty.”[/b]
