Fxeni looked around the Hangar of the Nahel Fxegama. There were multiple
GMs lined up inside.
"GMs huh... well, until we can get some of our more advanced mechs in here these will have to do," Fxeni said as he examined the closest one to him.
"Why were GMs made and not some other mass produced model?" Ariani asked, walking up to Fxeni.
"If I had to guess, these are the easiest to make. I'd wager they use less materials than the other types too. Better than nothing at any rate," Fxeni said as he walked back towards the exit of the Hangar.
"Do you think we should get your Arwing loaded on here as well?" Ariani asked.
"I don't see why not. I'll ask ADA to have it transported here once we're back in the station," Fxeni said as they started to walk into the hallway.
"Why not ask her now? Isn't she a part of the ship?" Ariani asked curiously. Fxeni hesitated and looked over at Ariani, who looked confused by his reluctance to say anything.
"No, she isn't. This ship has no advanced AI, in an effort to minimize attempts to seize control through untoward means," Fxeni replied calmly.
"There's more to it than that, isn't there?" Ariani said, attempting to get a straight answer out of him. Fxeni sighed.
"We'll discuss this some other time, Ariani," Fxeni said as he evaded the question.
"... Fine..." Ariani replied glumly, deciding that now was perhaps not the best time to push this line of questioning.
Once the tour of the Nahel Fxegama was finished, the crew dispersed through the ship to familiarize themselves with their new quarters and work areas. Fxeni opted to head back into the ISS.
"Hey ADA, can you have my Arwing transported onto the Nahel Fxegama for me?" Fxeni asked the AI.
"Affirmative," ADA responded.
I wonder if Peebs has cooled off... Maybe I should go check on her, Fxeni thought to himself as he finished removing his Normal Suit. He headed off towards the Main Ops.
(I wonder what he'll stumble upon
)
