( cw: body horror and discussions of such )
Good afternoon, ladies, gentlemen, and others of the Moira.
[ The voice over the network is pleasant, an attempt to keep things light despite what she's here to discuss. After the happenings so far this month, keeping things as light as possible seems like the best idea. ]
For those of you who haven't met me, and I know there are a lot of you, I'm Cortana. I'm one of the two AIs within the Moira's systems at the moment.
[ She'd do a video feed rather than audio, but audio or text is easier when you don't have a physical form. Video isn't impossible for her, but again, a base audio post is easiest. Should anyone reply with video, she'll happily respond in kind. ]
Now, with that introduction out of the way, I can focus on what I'm actually looking to discuss today. I've been focusing on the ship for the last few days--all of the changes that have occurred and the structural integrity of it now that it's been merged with the Caducan ship and has thus become glass in some areas--but now I want to focus on you, the crew.
It's difficult to not take notice of the way the merge has affected some of you. Like the ship, parts of some of you have turned to glass, and I'm looking to take inventory on what. I'm not certain that knowing what body parts of who became glass will be terribly beneficial, but you never know. It'll at least be useful to keep track of so we can observe any changes that might occur.
[ Maybe there's a connection somewhere. Maybe there are body parts more likely affected than others. Maybe they can find a way to fix it. She hates that it's all so uncertain, but anything that can possibly be helpful somewhere, somehow, she wants to make sure they have it. It's better than sitting in the systems doing nothing, at the very least. ]
So! Assuming you don't mind, if you've experienced the effect of the ships merging and now find part of yourself glass, tell me about it here? What part or parts of the body are affected, how strong the glass is, if you know, and how you're handling it are all answers that could prove useful. Of course, you're welcome to share more than that, should you wish to.
Thank you all for your time. I do hope that the rest of this month is less eventful than it has been so far.
Cortana, over and out.

What are your research capabilities in regards to that? [She's only got the rawest of data on Cortana in the Med Bay, currently. She's not certain of the woman's abilities.]

[ While she can understand why the Caducan ship had been made of glass, given their planets, it hardly seems the most sound material to use in a spaceship, no matter how strong. And now with the ships merged, who knows how well the glass and metal parts of the ship are fused to one another?
There are a large number of concerns Cortana's been dealing with since the ship combination occurred. ]
Without a physical form, I'm not able to run any physical tests on any of the changed locations. However, residing within the systems, I can observe all parts of the ship that I have access to at the same time in order to keep an eye on things. I can test how the systems are working in the altered areas of the ship, as well as run a few basic scans on the rooms themselves.
I haven't detected any threats or potential issues thus far, but I do know that the Moira is very different from the ships and systems that I'm used to. I can't run a number of my processes as successfully as I can where I'm from, so it's possible I may have overlooked something.
no subject
I have an idea about this.
When we were at a stop with an experimental Ingress, when it was damaged it created fusion worlds between two people that fell into it. But there were worlds that were well meshed and functional.
So I think either we can divide things again, or we can merge things into something functional and effective.
You also might want to discuss fusions with Peridot, or the properties of "living" crystal.

[ Excuse her, you've just managed to shock her. The ability to physically get around is not something she ever considered possible, even here. But hell, it's an idea she's all for. ]
That does make sense... So long as the worlds themselves weren't permanently affected by the fusions, it stands to reason that there may be a way to right things. It may just be a matter of trying to work with the Ingress, which will no doubt prove to be the difficult part.
[ Considering no one on board knows enough about it to actually do anything of use with it... ]
Peridot, she's one of those living gems I've heard about that are part of the crew, correct? Perhaps I will reach out to her--I'm taking all the potentially helpful information I can get here.
no subject
She's still not got a whole lot of info but given she has the best idea of her make-up so far? It'll be a bonus. We're also looking at getting ahold of some journals from the last Ingress we encountered. The keeper there was trying to repair it but when it altered, it created some monstrously fused worlds.
I think if we figure out how to fix that much we can help deal with the ship's big problem right now.
In the meantime I'll talk to someone to see about that holoform.
no subject
I'd say you're right, though. We figure that out, we should have a shot at getting things back to normal around here. Or, closer to normal than things are now, at the very least. Good luck with the journals. Keep me updated, if you don't mind.
And I'd appreciate that with the holoform, too. You know, I'm wishing we'd met sooner.
no subject
I'll look into it and let you know.
