@bethchen What’s the most morally questionable thing you’ve done this week?
Good morning to you too, Chang.
OK, so I treated an adult patient while Joy waited for Nurse Horace.
OOOOH. Was the adult dying more?
No. No one was dying. But the adult’s a paying passenger. And Joy’s my daughter.
So it’s morally questionable to favor adults with money over kids without money?
Yes?
Or is it morally questionable to subject your daughter to Horace?
Horace is a perfectly competent nurse.
You paused before saying that.
Horace is FINE. He’s trained, he’s thorough, he follows protocols.
But he’s not Joy’s mother.
No. Yes. Exactly. But look, I also can’t be objective about my own child. It’d be ethically questionable if I favored my family over others.
So it’s not morally questionable then.
I mean, it’s still questionable. Just not obviously wrong?
You made your seven year old go see the nurse you have to defend while you treated a stranger with money.
Chang.
What if I gave Joy a lot of money?
Please don’t.
No no wait I want to hear this.
It involves crimes.
Never mind, I don’t want to hear this.

@scrabtree Did you modify the parameter set for our baselines?
Oh yes, slipped my mind. Adjusted the values in Baseline 33 and 34 yesterday. Or maybe it was 34 and 35; should be clear from the metadata I imagine.
I see. Those parameters affect the second order models I’ve been training. May I ask what the rationale was?
Just let me finish this thought.
Something Zalmux said the other day made me realize there’s this, ah, normative subtext that the baselines don’t count for. Seemed obvious really once I started digging.
Dr. Crabtree, I would appreciate being consulted before you make changes to our framework. We’re co-authors on this.
Of course, Marigold. I’ll send you my notes.
Thank you.
@ship I think I left my omni-rotator still in the Aft Engineering Ring. Is it still there?
Confirmed: Omni-rotator located on Aft Engineering Ring (Ventral Quadrant), Deck 2.
Nice, thanks.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
@prakash Why did you overclock the sensor array?
It’s actually military surplus! Rated for way higher processor speeds than we’re using. Overclocking gets us an extra deflection target reading per cycle and better hit rates.
And the blue accent lights?
Accent lights are cool.
@mayak your Ada Cross fan fic’s getting better
Thanks? That is uncharacteristically generous of you to say.
Wait, are you saying my old fan fic is bad?
you shipped Ada with some shark guy in the underwater research station
it’s marked as public on ship net
fucckkkkkk
