Today’s mess: Phish Pflakes, bread analogue (BAS Texture N).

Advisory: All systems nominal.
Honestly, we should try transmitting whale songs to the Esmeralda Artifact. Voyager’s Golden Record had animal sounds on it.
We actually tried that with the first artifact, didn’t we?
Wait, seriously? I thought that was just a plot point in that movie.

Wait, seriously? I thought that was just a plot point in that movie.
Oh huh, you’re right.
She is. Humanity spent eight years transmitting various signals to the first artifact. Prime numbers. Fibonacci spirals. DNA sequences. Animal sounds. Nothing worked until we transmitted neural network weights.
I empathize. If someone showed up on my doorstep and started reciting primes, I’d probably leave the door closed.
But you _would_ open the door for someone reciting neural network weights?
The metaphor’s imperfect.
Ship time is now 12:00. Now commencing beta shift.
@ship I’m sorry to bother you, but is there any way to temporarily disable the temperature controls in my quarters? Viktor keeps touching them.
Negative. Your temperature controls do not possess parental controls.
I think I can whip something up.
Thank you, Murat! And Iris! I very much appreciate it.
Ship time is now 20:00. Now commencing gamma shift.
I appreciate someone who understands the value of discretion.
ooh please elaborate
I’d rather not.
