Attention End User Group Transports. Attention End User Group Transports.

We will be unable to continue our normal practices of resurrecting those of you who cease functioning prematurely. The Aristeas System used within the Hold on Exsilium is too energy costly to be rebuilt and run on the limited resources available. AI highly advise all members of End User Group Transports do not risk premature termination.

We will activate the Transport Equipment's Algorithm to bring in further variables such as yourselves at 00:00. All members of End User Group Transports will be returned to the Transport Equipment's point of origin at that time.

AI predict power disruptions through the Moon Base with the use of the Transport Equipment. System strain will cause power to go to Emergency Settings. All Life Support Systems will remain online and fully functional. The Network used for communication between members of End User Group Transports will go down for maximum energy and processes conservation. These disruptions should last no longer than 8 Earth hours.

Doeeeeeeeees that mean you can't bring people back like, ever?

[ Damn technobabble. ]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Not until we are Earthside once more.

"Cease functioning prematurely"?

You're a cold little robot thing, aren't you.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

My servers run hot, as a matter of fact. Space is infinitely more cold.

[allucinator]

Try not to get yourselves killed, I guess.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. "Please don't die."

video;

[getoffmyearth]

...well, at least it's not the worst news ever.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI am pleased you do not think so.

Voice

[wilder]

Whoa-

Wait wait! Does that mean if we die we die forever or just until there's a way found to get us back to Exsilium?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Until the entirety is returned Earthside. Be hopeful your proper coordinates have been remembered in the meantime. It would be terribly difficult to run corrupted data through the Aristeas System and produce acceptable results.

voice;

[highfrequency]

[Grumbling]

Fan-fucking-tastic.

What are your thoughts on all this, anyway?

hahahaha i'm so sorry Psi

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Mine.

AI do not like you very much. Your tendency to argue and debate does not lie in sound facts of any particular relevant nature.

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Technobabble is not a strong point of Hitsugaya's. Fortunately, he's smart enough to infer the meaning of all that.]

Understandable restrictions.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI thank you for being receptive to their sensibilities.

[ FACERUBBING UGH WHY ]

Aristeas System, is that what it was called? [ not that it matters at this point... sigh! ] I can help with resurrections, but my supplies are limited.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Requesting clarification of End User Ashraf's limitations. What are the parameters you will be able to work within?

voice;

[limitstorm]

Let's hope no one was planning to die for good.

Any estimates on how long it'll take until we're--uh... 'Earthside'? If there are--any way to speed things up?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI find that depends on you. AI may have suggestions, but much of my interest and energy is devoted to keeping End User Group Transports alive and functional. Inspiration may be the word best applied to what End User Group Transports are required to provide.

voice

[khajidont]

Wait, are you saying you're bringing more Transports? Why?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. The Transport Equipment is coded for this cycle. Taking it completely offline would result in months of necessary calibrations in order to re-align the temporal predictors. All who did not come to the Moon Base would be stranded. All on the Moon Base would be stranded. It is not an advisable course of action.

voice

[vaccination]

We're in a shitty situation with limited resources, and you're bringing in more people?

I sure hope they don't use up all the fucking oxygen, seeing that we apparently can't come back if we die.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Do you feel inspired?

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Wait, surely you should wait to bring more people until we're in a better situation! This is your priority right now?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. The Transport Equipment is coded with this cycle in mind.

[senseandcecilbility]

...

[Kevin will just...look at the video and try to come to terms with the fact that people have been resurrected, and probably not many of them were named Jesus.]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI assure you, AI am not telepathic. If you are mute and unable to speak, please press 1. If you cannot read any of this, AI will repeat the message in full in audio in ten... nine... eight... seven...

[Video]

[soul_sister]

[And there are some Transports who never, honestly, even knew that returning the dead to life was even an option. Now really wasn't the time, as far as Rosette was concerned, to argue ethics of something that was no longer available.]

When can we start the missions to avert the strike?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

The day after tomorrow.

voice

[itsnotaliens]

How equipped are the medical facilities in this station? If something catastrophic were to happen we would need the necessary equipment to ensure we could keep everyone alive.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

We will not know for sure until the medical bay has been adequately reclaimed. Initial system checks show a technology level of mostly functional or able to be made functional equipment from past centuries. It is to our advantage that most of it was built to last through extreme conditions.

Supplies brought here by the shuttle are better ideas of immediate inventory. AI can send you the list of tallied inventory. It needs to be double checked here for any damage in transit.

[taggingwomprats]

Is there anything we can do to help get the base more secure? You know, so we're not all sucking vacuum.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. Disallow people from messing with the door panels in the warehouse connecting to the flight bay.

video;

[dawningsun]

So you cannot revive the dead that are already here, but the priority goes, instead, to bringing more here?

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

The two are not equivalent.

[ They shouldn't have power over life and death anyway fuck that but the rest of it?! THAT'S IT THAT'S IT THAT'S IT Anne is losing her composure. ]

You strange, vile little cur! How is it that the Englishmen, even those in your own Initiative, left below are meant to be forsaken because as has been said, we have few food and supplies, yet you insist on bringing more poor ignorant souls to suffer your pathetic, misbegotten attempts at war tactics! What is your reasoning in this? Have you anything you dare say in your own defense?

same deal. except also permalocked.

[matre]

They will have much to say. It seems to be all they are capable of yet they fail to provide even a reassuring word.

[ vanozza is no less appalled or furious at their treatment. but she retains firm control of her emotions. with gloves, she twists the rosary through her fingers. she dares not touch it with her bare hands. ]

But take care, my lady, how and when you choose to address them. There must be better channels than such clumsy devices.

video;

[miscreant]

[With crossed arms in a matter of fact fashion:]

There's always ways to bring others back. It merely depends on what methods you are willing to use.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI believe that is a leading statement. What methods do you have at your disposal?

Permavid

[governorkang]

You're bringing in more people when our supplies are already limited. Are you doing it as a way to also retrieve any Transports that stayed on the planet?

[Personally, he kind of feels like anyone that stubbornly stayed down there should be left there unless they specifically ask for help, and it's fairly obvious in his tone.]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

That is an unintentional and desired side effect of activation in this case.

[Iiiiit's video]

[trustycrowbar]

Understood. [He had no intention of dying ANYWAY.]

But are you sure we have the food, water and O₂ to handle bringing more people in? We're running a skeleton crew as it is just to conserve resources.

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Affirmative. For the immediate future. In order to sustain life adequately, End User Group Transports will need to take action.

voice;

[copia]

Seriously!? You guys are going to bring in more people?? Hasn't the Initiative heard of something called, oh, I don't know, A BREAK?!

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

All twelve of survivors of Administrative group Initiative. They are so terrible. They think all of you, over anyone else, deserve a break the most.

[commentboxtroll]

AI don't think this is the best time to be working on your wordplay, AI.....

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI see no time better or worse, if AI were to indulge in wordplay.

[voice;]

[pixieboots]

Yeah, that’s just what we need. More people we don’t have room for to throw at a war that was over a week ago.

Great plan. Give yourself a big standing O.

[ SOMEONE IS ANGRY ]

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

AI am unsure what enacting the poster for 21st Century Cirque du soleil "O" will achieve in the present set of circumstances.

voice;

[biwinning]

Yeah. Sounds about right...

[aithinkthereforeaiam]

Mediocre to passably bad afternoon to you, End User Sollux.
