Rain took in the room. Panels, consoles, touch screens as far as the eye could see, all locked out to her. The door in front of her led to the ship's core and to the [i]very annoying[/i] AI's core. She tried it, but it was locked. She glanced through the window and couldn't believe her eyes. It didn't take long for her to recognize what the ship was running off of. An antimatter core? She had never seen one, which was not very surprising considering by all rights it shouldn't exist. It was science fiction, but here it was. It was amazing and she absolutely had to get into that room. She would've taken apart the core if it wasn't running the ship and very dangerous to dismantle and very, very expensive. The door wouldn't have been a problem. If she got in there she could even perform some [i]percussive maintenance[/i] on ANDI. 

She wished. If it wasn't clear, Rain wasn't a fan of AI. In fact, that was an understatement. Tech like that was dangerous. If a machine could really learn for itself, where would it stop? Soon enough it would be 'I'm sorry Rain, I'm afraid I can't do that' and then she'd really have a reason to blast that thing out of the airlock where it belonged. Rouge AI was always a danger- sure, it had its advantages, but why take the risk? 

Speaking of, the robot began to answer her questions. He didn't tell her anything she couldn't of guessed. She already knew what she could do and that she was good. One thing did pique her interest, [b][color=0094FF]"Er, what exactly is the COFTA? Military, or something else?"[/color][/b] She asked the AI. As for her second question she was very disappointed in the answer. If she was sure of one thing it was that she could fly the ship better then a robot, regardless of how many scenarios it could process. An AI lacked ingenuity, instinct, everything that makes a pilot great. [i][b][color=0094FF]Besides, why hire a pilot if you're not going to let her fly the ship? Why hire an engineer and not let her into the core?[/color][/b][/i] Rain sighed. For now she'd have to find another way to occupy herself.

She left the maintenance area, coming into the hallway that connected it to freight, the shuttle bay, and the armory. She was going to go look at the shuttle, maybe she would be able to fly that at least, but she noticed the armory door open. She walked in and found the old man examining his guns. There was certainly no lack of that- just about anything you could shoot, explode, use as any sort of weapon seemed to be here. [b][color=0094FF]"Well, I don't think we're going to have to worry about munitions."[/color][/b] She said to the old man, smiling. She walked over to the printer in the corner. [b][color=0094FF]"Very cool. This'll certainly come in handy. You're Ben, right? Old Ben? Do you really want to be called 'old'?"[/color][/b]
