Leak check good. Repressurizing
the airlock. Life support pack is fully charged. All gasses are at their
proper pressure.
I agree.
Thank you, Sam. I feel much safer having you verify my checks.
Every now and then, I find it profoundly disturbing that someone trusts me with their life and even more disturbing
that I want that trust.

Welcome!
I am Rover17.
We are ready to depart.
Hello. I am Florence. Did you bring your support equipment? Charging stations, dream machines and maintenance gear?
We are not
ready to depart.

Forklift14 and forklift18 are in the process of transporting our support equipment.
Understood.
Florence is an unusual name for an A.I.. In your model line, in what sequence were you created?
I was the seventh embryo modified.
Then may I call you Florence7? It sounds more natural.

We have ten portable dream machines and charging stations. This is enough for thirty robots. Twenty four robots will be going. This provides twenty percent spare capacity.
More robots wanted to go than I can provide support for. I had to disappoint many of my friends.
In theory, it's as easy to transmit a zero as a one. In practice, it's much harder.

Are we going to get more robots from here attempting dangerous methods to get to the P/N station?
No. We're doing something now. That takes the edge off “human in danger” situations.
We shall travel to the station and evaluate its condition. Then we shall make plans to bring the station back into full safety compliance.
Be sure to coordinate with the human manager and union leader.
We shall. It is strange. Humans are often more concerned over how something gets done than if something gets done.

Everyone and everything is secured. Are you coming with us?
Yes. As temporary site manager, they are my responsibility.
But if I leave the site, I
am no longer temporary site manager. And there will be no temporary
site manager here.
Appoint another to the position and come with us.
We'll come up with a new title for you.
Something distinguished. Something noble. Something like… Temporary off-site manager! Yes, I like the
sound of that.

Rover17 is in the airlock.
He's in charge of the robots.
Please treat him nicely. He doesn't have any pockets or fingers
that I could see, so don't try
stealing his head.
Of course not.
Though I could use the practice. It is surprisingly difficult to decapitate someone without them noticing.

Welcome to an atmosphere with oxygen.
I rarely use it myself, Sir. It promotes rust.
No doggy?
I don't understand.
It's something robots do when they see me standing, since I share characteristics of both a human and a dog.
Understood.
What's a dog?

Good point. Robots in space wouldn't need to know what a dog is.
Dog. I can look that up.
Wow. There
are petabytes of information about dog. Dogs. Plural.
You don't need to know everything. The encyclopedia page will give you a good base.
That is less than one percent of information available on dogs.
It's enough. Most people get along just fine knowing less than one percent about most subjects.

Have you designated a temporary manager while you're off site?
I will do that now.
All workers of the Nuclear Pulse Facility. Communication Nexus3 is in charge during my absence.
Do you think Communication Nexus3 will be a good leader?
If not, it's easier to avoid
a boss who is bolted to the floor than one who is mobile.
[!1.2] Woo hoo!
