Captain Carp,”Captains Log, date is …”
‘Puter,”Excuse me captain, may I interrupt?”
Captain Carp,”You just did.”
‘Puter,”Why do you tell me the date? I am a computer. I log that myself automatically.”
Captain Carp,”It’s just how this thing goes. I have a watch and I like to command the time.”
‘Puter,”Fine then, shall I record the time you gave me? It is a full day before the ship was attacked by small Telecin children and we lost an unsubstantial communications peripheral.”
Captain Carp,”Yes. Captains Log, date is … An inventory has been done of all systems from our rental ship recently acquired from the Alliance of Allied Awesome Astronauts has found that all systems are working fine except a communications peripheral.”
‘Puter,”Captain. As a security feature of AAAA, I cannot allow you to bypass insurance liability indemnity in such a manner. I have to transmit this incident to the rental store. Hmmm, seems there is a communication error.”
Captain Carp,”Spotty Pitts, can you disable the computer’s logs where it talks and erase the parts of this memory of this event.”
Spotty Pitts,”I’m on it Captain! It seems there’s an encryption code tho. I’ll have to crack it. It won be easy Capn’”
Captain Carp,”Do what you can Spotty.”
*a large clank is heard*
Spotty,”I believe I cracked it.”
Captain Carp,”Computer, recite the logs for today.”
*silence is heard*
Captain Carp,”Computer, recite the logs for today.”
*silence is still heard*
Captain Carp,”Captains Log, date is … An inventory has been done of all systems from our rental ship recently acquired from the Alliance of Allied Awesome Astronauts has found that all systems are working fine except a communications peripheral and a malfunctioning computer. It was like this when we got it.”
