I am starting a log telling of my inevitable exploits so let's begin.
my name is montelo gatz sergeant in service on the Tranport Ship: Lether's Burden.
I've just been promoted and my brother the Captian designated me as a squad leader.

We are carring a very important cargo back to the IceWorld:Vin-Malor to examine it
It's a mysterious relic that as been found on a abandoned planet by a band of explorers.

Hopefully the bot didn't update the ships record to reflect your status. Otherwise we'll have to go in and alter records for you to have a clean bill of health and continue to remain in good standing with your people. We apologize for the inconvenience - we had no idea your people were so callous about individual lives, nor so brutal in their methods of research.

The medibot stripped you, so we're making a detour to fetch you some clothes. Which room is yours, and is there anything else you require from it?

No. 552478 ID: 4300e1

First of all, Doctor, please try to calm down. We're not safe yet, and lot of yelling might give away our position. Secondly, I have to extend my apologies. I underestimated your people's ability to detect nanoscale structures, and you're paying the price. I'm very sorry. As you're now in violation of the purity laws, they seemed to feel justified in killing you to get that nanotech. We regard that as evidence that your people really don't possess the cultural maturity to handle it well.
If you're familiar with the "gray goo scenario", "red goo apocalypse", and similar scenarios, then you'll probably agree this is too powerful a tool to leave to those who aren't prepared for it.
Since it was us who got you into trouble, the boss and us have gotten you out, at least for the moment. Like my buddy over there said, We're on our way to get you some clothes and basic supplies in order to help you start your new life as "impure", whatever that may be. As a matter of damage control, can you tell me if someone who's no longer "pure Astranian" can regain their purity? It seems like it wouldn't be difficult for us to pack up everything we've installed in your body and leave, if that would do it.
Thirdly, how do your eyes feel?

Alright, now, the best thing you can do here is remain calm and take into consideration the predicament you've found yourself in.

Lets work under the assumption that you're now recognized as a threat, or some kind of foreign entity by the ship's AI, or at least by the various automatons aboard, given that the medbot did.
And if the medbot had the capabilities of transmitting, then I've no doubt he transmitted your current "impure" state, possibly as a safety protocol.

So, lets try to find a friend to help sort out this misunderstanding, and of course steer clear of any bots.

No. The ship's records have been altered, but a message about her being compromised was sent out before we could intervene. Unless somebody was reading the com traffic when it was sent nobody on the ship will consider her suspect.

The problem is that since command knows she's suspect she's going to face trouble once the ship hits port.
Unfortunately, that's at the LATEST. Command is very likely to message the ship about her status, and it's doubtful we'll be able to tamper with that communication without raising suspicions.

We DO have a few options, but they're not fun; Mana, could you start confusing ship systems? Sabotaging the robots so they start misidentifying everything; stranners as robots, robots as humans, doors as inexplicable vertical sheets of water, etc? Then have the ship's sensors start seeing impossible things, such as nearby star systems being located in the mess hall, and well-known planets like Vin-Malor chasing after the ship?
If they start getting system-wide errors then all anomaly reports become suspect.

No. 554788 ID: b849b2

Man.A, I'd like to thank you for hacking the files and rendering the good doctor no longer in violation of these "Purity Laws". This makes the job much simpler.
Dr. Yeli, I'm not sure what kind of cover story your people would accept about the robot finding "something", but if a suggestion of a minor infection at the injection point would help, by all means consider it. With that out of the way, Doctor, please calm down. While it's true that you are nude, try to recall that none of the beings here regard you as an object of desire. Personally, I maintain my earlier opinion about you being a cute, cuddly-looking sort of person. I would rather see you in some pretty little dress with ribbons in your hair, but a uniform will have to do. Is there a place nearby where a temporary covering can be obtained, so that you don't have to try to sneak into the barracks nude?
Also to consider, you really should avoid any other robots or sensory devices which have the sensitivity to detect the nanotech within you. Is it possible to obtain some of those sensors so that we can create a masking field to protect you?

So have the scans give obviously bad readings. Detect people as robots or coffee cups or bits of string at random.
After that happens for a little while, have all attempts to scan just return error messages.

If the active scans are obviously wrong and then stop working outright it puts the active scan of her into question without anybody else being suspect.

Now, lets go get her some clothing.

...it would help if we acquired a target before we picked something to shoot it with. Or if we were even sure there's something behind her to shoot.

A really loud rifle strikes me as a hazard, in a small, enclosed metal space. Especially for Yeli, with those big ears. Ignoring the risk of whatever may be behind her, or of trying to shoot past her without hitting her, there's a risk of serious aural damage.

A non-astrian drone? Maybe we're not the only intruder!

Can we tell the direction or strength of the signal? If we overlay with the ship schematics, maybe we can estimate where they are.

It's also possible we could use the drone a means to attempt communication with whoever is controlling it.

Can you tell the species is responsible for it? Or at least what they identify themselves as?
Are they Human? With the Solar Directorate/Militia or otherwise?
If so, identify yourself as an agent for any of the spec-ops groups from Earth's space colonization phase, and demand they stop interfering with your infiltration.

If they're not human, then transmit this back at it: "Bah wah neep widdi bong"

>A-a what?
That was reference to pre-interplanetary pinkskin popular culture. The 'terminator' was a fictional monster from cinematic entertainment of the era. A robotic assassin encased in a shell of living tissue for purposes of infiltration and facilitation of time travel.

We can provide you with a more detailed summary or replay archived media for you under less pressing circumstances if you're interested.

>damnit, this was supposed to be an important boost for my career
Provided we can avert what seems to be a budding disaster on this vessel, it still may be. In any event, better to be trying to address the problem than do nothing.
