Well Dagger's playlist is a combination of all of the crew's favorite music, so it wouldn't be the same as Tempo's, but it would have some of her music.

Dagger was quite sure that the crew was not taking the risks seriously enough. Their image shook and fizzled a bit, looking staticky once more. Although they trusted their human family, Dagger was nervous and a bit hurt when the crew blew off their warning. Their mention of betting on how much alcohol they could drink was even more concerning. The last time the crew did any drinking, Dagger was stuck in the ship for several days by themself, waiting for their crew and calculation the chance of their return based on a variety of scenarios.

Dagger's image disappeared as they moved from the kitchen to the lounge. As they appeared in the room, they looked directly at the alcohol cabinet, with its electronic locks and briefly considered changing the passcode or making it inoperable until after their journey. The AI shook their heads and decided against it. That would only make the captain irritable. No need to do that when the human crew was in such high spirits..

Dagger took it upon themselves to initiate their executable file called 'Game Night Playlist.' It was one that the AI had compiled due to the taste of each member of the crew including themself. Shuffling it several times before it played, the AI set to work, pushing out the automatic drawers full of games and alcohol glasses as well as unlocking the cabinet full of alcohol. As they worked, they became unaware of how blurred their projected image was becoming. The music skipped a little as the AI ran more calculations and became more and more upset.

This was really bothering the AI and so they directed more power to shields and sensors, silencing the ship-wide notification of such.

Soooo sorry for my absence friends. I was preparing for an anime convention and then ended up without access to internet for five days during that entire fiasco. In any case, I am making a post now.

Invisible

Dagger kicked their holographic feet excitedly under the table, their image shimmering. Although the AI was there at the table, watching their fellow crew members finish their dinner, Dagger was also keeping via close eye on sensors, wary of their current location. The prospect of being the first crew to take on and defeat the ghost ship was a romantic idea, but they couldn't help but be concerned when Milos spoke of ship disappearing. It didn't seem like they were in immediate danger...

However as they moved through space, drawing closer to their destination, the AI was quietly running calculations on the levels of danger that this journey presented to the crew. Dagger pulled reports of ships going missing in pursuit of the ghost ship, figured in the number of times ships were destroyed mysteriously, their crew nowhere to be found in the wreckage. The rate of survival kept going down and down and down.

There were very few rumors of ships that made it back with only half of their crew, minds wiped of the experience, having no recollection of what happened or where their other crew mates had went. And most of those rumors included corrupted AIs that had lost most of their data and no longer functioned or appeared to be themselves anymore. This was not only dangerous to the human crew, but Dagger as well.

The AI shifted nervously in their seat. They were completely uncomfortable with the idea. Running the numbers over and over, the AI looked for an error in the calculations but found none. The final number that was projected was a 2.9% rate of survival at the end of this journey. Looking up at their human family, the AI's image suddenly wavered, becoming staticky and blurred and a garbled sound was emitted from the speakers. It corrected itself after a moment. Was this fear?

"I apologize for that; I have no idea what happened. In any case, I would appreciate your attention for a moment.... Sorry everyone, but I have just finalized some calculations that I have been running in the background and have some bad news...." The AI looked very guilty. This was game night, and although the fun might be ruined, this was very important. "If we continue on this mission, due to research and the pulling of every shred of information I could find, I have calculated our rate of survival to be less than three percent.

Background:
The history of an AI can be hard to quantify. The reason for this being AIs are "born" into this world in a very unique manner. due to the tasking and costly process of actually developing an AI, they are actually clones for use. This process is known as a revision. Up to the moment of their birth, all of their "memories" and experiences are actually that of their base AI. To an AI it may be hard to distinguish what is their memory and what is planted memory due to this process. Regardless of this fact, all AIs are aware of the moment of their birth as well as their revision number as if by instinct.
DA-63R, sixty-third revision of the AI program DA, was "born" as they were installed onto a small four person multipurpose ship. The ship was bought by a tough old captain who rarely used the small craft. When used however, the captain preferred to rely on the human instinct of his pilot more than the AI. The pilot named himself chief operator of the security systems and gave the responsibility of checking important calculations to the pilot. The pilot was much slower and kess accurate, buthe captain still chose to task the AI with menial tasks such as keeping close check on fuel levels.

The ship was used to taxi fugitives and refugees for a small price, and the crew relied on quantity more than quality of customer. DA-63R was openly called a piece of junk and defective without being given the opportunity to prove their worth. Often when interjecting with a suggestion, they were muted. The only true joy that the AI had was using time when left in a rented hangar to scan the interplanetary communications and intercept messages being broadcasted in order to learn as well as reach out for information regarding the upkep of a well running ship and healthy crew. Despite the inability to share things they learned with their current crew, the AI kept themselves busy learning all they could to prevent inevitable boredom. With the learning of communication through these weeks of being left alone in the empty ship, DA-63R became a proficient companion to the customers that traveled on the small craft.

After three years of service to this crew of two, DA-63R met Milos who was quiet until the AI visited them in the lounge. The pirate had payed the crew more to transport him alone and as they traveled, the AI kept him company and told him of their struggles. They explained that they were glad to help in any way, but the captain of the current crew was not one to trust technology, therefore preferrijg to keep the AI busy with things that had little impact on travel.

At the end of the journey, while the crew was resupplying, Milos stole the ship, having taken a liking to the AI that seemed to want to become more than a fancy interactive fuel gauge. They were appreciative of the rescue from boring life, and, although slightly concerned about the theft of the ship, the AI was thrilled at the prospect of adventure.

They began their journey around the charted regions of space, Milos more or less allowing the AI to stretch and develop their unused and stunted protocols and processes. DA-63R rapidly learned how to chart courses, provide information about areas by sourcing from AIs upon ships more familiar with the area, and much more.

After just over a year, DA-63R having gained the data necessary for supporting the ship's complex and sophisticated systems practically unaided besides a pilot and engineer to fly and tend to physical upkeep, Captain Milos decided it was time to scout out a crew for the ship.

Since the ship's crew was completed, DA-63R has become more nurturing, keeping checks running on the vitals of each crew member. They are quite astute to the emotional changes in each crew member and is very in tune which each of the human member's colorful array of feelings, able to pinpoint what is bothering them rather quickly. The AI provides information to the cook about how the current choices they are making for the ship's meals are effecting each member and suggests minor menu changes to better suit the crew. They try their best to offer as much help to the pilot and engineer as well, finding their large store of data had not gone to waste. It is obvious that this crew means a lot the the AI.

Notes: DA-63R sometimes badgers their fellow crew members to describe how foods taste, what physical feeling is like, and more in an attempt to wrap their bytes around what it is to be human. The AI has expressed wishes in the past to possibly be renamed to something more human to fit in better with the crew, feeling very much a part of the family.

1:35 PM Hope Daly (Andrew Rhodes)

Hope sniffled noisily as she stopped her tears, nodding in agreement. She took a few deep, albeit difficult, breaths and wiped her eyes. "The reason I came hear was closer to what I told you than you would expect. It was financial stress that drove me away from home, but it was my fault." Her voice grew shrill at the end of the sentence, trying hard not to continue crying. "I was diagnosed with chronic leukemia a week after I turned fifteen... My parents started to fight and they were scared... My brother said he was going to drop out of college to get a job and help pay for treatments... I couldn't let them suffer on my behalf..." Hope voice wavered as she told them.

She waited for them to get angry, to tell her she had to leave. It was hard to tell them. She was scared.and didn't know the consequences of her telling them now. Hopes hands were shaking and she had her hands tightly balled around her jacket, eyes squeezed shut. She just knew that she was going to have to leave...
