Attention end user group Transports. Attention end user group Transports.

Evacuation procedures are now in progress. All capable and able pilots of spacecraft are requested to report immediately to the Hold. The first shipment of supplies and end user group Transports to the Moon Base will begin in 240 minutes. The space ship will return from the Moon Base approximately 480 minutes later. The next shipment of end user group Transports and supplies must be ready for loading at that time.

Please bring necessities only. Each end user is requested to limit themselves to no more than 45.35 kilograms of their essential materials. Less is strongly encouraged.

[irrationalprogramming]

Not to get complicated here, but do I count as supplies or personnel? Because I can't exactly walk myself to the ship.

introduces to jarvis, all have an ai tea party

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Both, if you have a physical operating unit. One will be required for transit.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Count me in for the first shipment. Once I'm up there I can teleport back to get more supplies up and down.

... That gives me an idea, actually...

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. Relocate to the Hold A.S.A.P. Members of Administrative group Initiative will give further instruction upon arrival.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'll be there for ferry duty.

[irrationalprogramming]

I'm operating from an AI Core that's sitting in Initiative storage. If the Core isn't getting shipped, then I can decompile myself for transfer to a different system.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. Expression of gratitude appropriate to end user's cultural background inserted here:

Thank you.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

'Welcome. Be easier if we had more ships, but... [sigh, such is life]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Calculating probabilities of Core shipment returns positive results. Your Core will be moved. Preference for earlier transit due to weight limitations.

This conversation probably took like 5 milliseconds

[irrationalprogramming]

Great! Thanks for confirming that.

they work at their own speed amirite

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

You are welcome, I believe, is the proper response.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

"If wishes were horses they would not be extinct." Yes, it is a common enough sentiment in human literature through the centuries.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Yeah. I could probably haul some stuff that can handle it outside the ship, too. Wouldn't be full vacuum, but I probably couldn't protect anything living.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Please inform Administrative group Initiative when you arrive at the designated location. Any such use of your abilities as offered will be best evaluated by them at that point.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Roger that.

[pilot]

I said we needed more ships. [ han, pls. ]

Han Solo. I bet I can cut that return time down.

[tragicomedienne]

[She sounds stuffy and weak-voiced, not that Ai cares because AIS DON'T CARE ABOUT FEELINGS.]

Why even bother...? They might as well leave those of us who aren't robots or whatever here...

Who's going to move the supplies when we're up there?

There's nothing I can do here.

[voice]

[highfrequency]

[He sounds disgruntled.]

You...

Did you have any idea this was gonna happen?

text;

[buttpunch]

Hi--um, Ai? I had a question! If I have live vegetable plants, would there be some way to move them all to the base? Is there any space for that?

They're doing okay, so it seems like a waste not to use them...

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

No one is interested in bets, End User Solo. Only results.

Please report to the main Hold as soon as possible.

If these questions are existential, AI recommend seeking a practitioner of some version of faith. If your faith is in science, the results will speak for themselves.

When all members of end user group Transports is present on the Moon Base, they will be responsible for the movement of supplies. If there is nothing End User can do here, then go there.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

There was no reason to indicate a break with reigning precedence. It is incorrect to say this possibility did not arise in any calculations.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

These plants are within containers? AI suggest securing them in packing boxes for the duration of the trip. Netting should be adequate to hold them in place during transit. As many will be fit in as is reasonably possible. What inventory do you have?

[highfrequency]

Yeah? So you calculated it could happen but decided not to say anything?

[Pause]

Who sets your parameters, anyway? How likely does something have to be before you mention it?

[pilot]

Trust me. It'll be a result.
