Transcripts from the security camera in engineering bay.
15 minutes before the total power failure.
Twomenwalk into the engineering bay.The firstmaniswearinga security uniform, and the secondmaniswearingan engineering jumpsuit.Bothmenare talking while walking up to the printer bays.
Engineer
"sowhat wassoimportant that you had todragme down here."
Security officer
"Ineed an engineering tablet to pause this print so thatIcanadda component to it before the box finished printing."
Engineer
"Yeah,Ican do that onesec.The Engineerpullsout a tablet andplugsit into the printer.After pressing a few buttons the printer stops and the door unlocks.Hethensays"so what were you printing anyways."
Security officer
"I was printing an AI assist module for myEXOarmor."
Engineer
"your armor alreadycomes witha basicAI.But why wouldyouneed anAImodule unlessyou''re planning on adding anAIcore?"
Security officer
"My granddadgotan AI core from the artificial intelligence research and development building.When he worked, there is a security guard."
Engineer
"Seriouslythat place was shut down after they had completed theirfirsttest.I heard their core completely failed The combat testing."
Security officer
He pulled a box out of one of his pockets and said."Granddad saidtheydidn''t fail thetesttheypasseditwith flying colors to the point whereitbecame a national secret.Whentheyran thecombattests,theyhad onecombatavatar versus 200 inside an urban environment.Nowmosttestsgeta passing grade iftheycan take out fivecombatavatars controlled by a basic AI.Whentheyrantheteston this guy, hemanaged to take out all the drones with a combat knife.We came back inside and was asked whyheonly the knife.Hesaid,"youtoldme to take out all the drones with as little collateral damage as possible.Figured you also didn''t want the drones to be damage to."

Engineer
"there AI could also talk?"
Security officer
"Yeah.So when mygrandpaheardtheywere classifying all the equipment he togetthe core beforetheylockit up in a safe, never to be seen again."
The security officer finished opening the box and pulled out a small AI core wrapped in paper.
Engineer
"that''s the biggest AI crystal I''veeverseen."
"was unable togetaclearview of the core."
Security officer
"this is the first time I''ve had access to a molecular printer.So I can now make a custom case for the core."
Engineer
"is goingto be the first time you powered on."
Security officer
"even mygrandpaneverhadthe equipment to properlymakea module for it."
The security officer finishedputtingsomething in the printer andclosedit.
Klaxonsbegangoing off throughout the whole ship, while a voicebeganannouncing over the speakers. "Warning power failure detected all hands to escape pods.All hands to escape pods."
Both crewmates turned to each other and then sprinted towards the door beforeleavingthe room.
