Chris left with more questions now that he finally met Dorothy clone. She was interesting and he was glad she was more rational then the Jason clones. It had been a while since he had someone to talk to other then the terminal where he wrote a personal log. It was odd how she seemed drawn to that spot. How exactly was she able to find all those items the real one left behind? How did she not know about the clones? Or her experiments? He just hoped this Dorothy would be able to undo the lock out. He needed the rest of the station. the pod wouldn't be complete if he couldn't work on the outer rings water purifier. What would he do if he landed in the ocean? He needed those parts. 

Chris felt bad about lying to her but after what she did to this project he had enough dislike for both of them. They were just suppose to set things up. None of this was suppose to happen. She definitely went off the reservation conducting experiments and Jason that jock fell right into her trap. The cells he took from the core would ensure Chris had energy to send out a distress signal for a few years and use the others to boost the signal. It would irradiate him but when he was found they could fix that. 

Chris stood in front of the door and entered his personal code. The door slid open. And the red lighting was unnerving but he stepped inside and the door automatically shut behind him. The room was one large data bank and the electronic eye across the room watched everything. Chris knew it had no self preservation but it did have the priority to mission completion. It couldn't kill directly but He had seen one Jason floating toward earth after attempting to short out the AI from a sub panel in an access junction. Cold logic of the action not resulting in his death but the lack of air.

"Welcome Christopher. All my systems are functioning at peak efficiency."

"Hello. Doctor Cartwell wants to talk to you in the bio lab one via terminal. She is aware of the sensor being damaged." He kept his tone mono. The AI could analyze the tone and used it to identify a lie. 

"Would it not be better to repair the sensor? I am interested in the experiment she was conducting. With my sensor repaired I could see her progress and offer my assistance. I am detecting a slight elevation in your heart rate. Are you felling well?"

Damn he knew. He did have the manifest log that included equipment and parts. "I left the repair manual in my room. Doctor Cartwell needs to give you the override code so I can retrieve the pad from my room." Chris continued rerouting the auxilery from command to the bio lab.

"....Why does Doctor Cartwell not issue the command from the bridge?"

"She had work to conduct in the bio lab and the clones of the commander are violent and in the command center."

"One of the commanders is heading to the bio lab one. I cant warn her because of the command lock out and the sensor is damage."

"Damn!" Chris knew he couldn't leave with a open panel in the Core. It was a stupid security feature. His hands moved faster. "I want you to use the terminal when I finish the reroute."

"I'm sorry. I am unable to comply with the lock out in place."

"Damn!" Chris finished the terminal connection and typed a short line of code to make the monitor in the bio lab flash on and off with a single word in bold. "[color=8dc73f][u][i][b]RUN[/b][/i][/u][/color]"
