USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

"Checkmate!" Amy declares, a big grin on her face. "I win. Two to one." She says, smiling. With a stretch, she rose from the table, moving to the server-room door. "We should get back to work. Start monitoring the server, I'm going to see how it's doing internally before figuring out if I should change the network usage restriction." Crewman Jimmy nodded, then began to follow Amy's orders before catching a glance of her tail as she moved into the server room.

Once in the server room, Amy began looking at the server's components. The damn thing looked poorely, but she was going to have to change the level lest she have a riot at her door. Having the captain missing did not help anything. She would've known how to keep control. After a few minutes of examining the servers, Amy moves back to the Neural Networks room, sitting down. "How's it look from your end?" Amy asks her assistant. "Dagoo," he replies, which makes her eyebrows raise. "Have you been learning Zenospeak?" She asks. "Well, I'm trying to work out what you say when you curse." He replies

With that, they got to work, trying to turn on safety on the servers and make sure everything was okay. Finally, servers managed to struggle online, however they were suffering a lot of load. Amy sent out a global message letting everyone on the ship know that the servers were now back to being unrestricted. Almost instantly the server load jumped to 80%, and she held her breath. Luckily, it stayed there, however it was touching the danger level.

I'll post as soon as I can. :P Been a bit busy.

"I can't even ask the head since he's probably heading to the meeting!" Amy calls out as Mason walked off. "Tadamni, she thinks to herself, shaking her head. She begins to stroll to the door between the servers and the neural networks room. As soon as the keycard reader beeped, she walked in. "Crewman Jimmy, break out the chess board." She says, sitting down. If she wasn't getting orders, she was going to enjoy her time with her Networks assistant. A smile broke out on her face as she moved her first piece.

On Lemea and in other Zenohunt occupied territories, they used to develop some really deadly weapons from some of the things on their planets, for example, the cannons that defended their territory from alien races before Humans came along (those cannons are still there, making Zenohunt space a very hard place to attack). I know of some things I made up for the race that are basically stupidly powered. The 'Dadea egranad' is one of them. It is essentially a grenade, but when thrown, it disintegrated all living things it's blast touched. People think of that one way or another, but the Dadea egranade, in English, the 'Dead grenade' used to be used on Zenohunt villages too poor to defend themselves. Bandits would come along, toss in a Dadea egranade or two, then move in and take everything. It was banned very early in an agreement that none of those grenades be used, as it was predicted that over usage may have ended up killing everything on Lemea and turning the planet into a dustball. Not even grass survived. Weapons like that should definitely be banned. :P

By the way, look closely at Zenospeak, and you may work out my method of translation.

Amy gave a salute to the commander, saying a simple "Yes ma'am. Can do," before tapping on her deck, selecting all of the department heads (including the commander before her). Normally, an administrator would send out a message like this, however, with the network set to be restricted, Amy could understand why the commander wanted her to type it. That, or it was just pure laziness, as she could type out a message herself if she wanted. Creating a new message and marking it as high priority, she began typing.


All department heads, priority

Commander Mason is calling a meeting in the meeting room, now. All department heads are to head to the meeting room as soon as possible.

Regards
Amy Skydawner
Neural Networks Manager

PS: You may wish to hurry. Commander Mason will probably not appreciate people being late, as she has been very busy today.

Amy hit send, before looking back at the mail, her eyes resting on the words 'Amy Skydawner'. She always felt a little funny using the human translation of her name. Back in Yasanctuar's navy, she would usually write:


Daregars
Yam Yaskradawne
Laneura Kanetwors Ramanage

Looking up at commander Mason, she spoke. "Ma'am, the message has been sent. Orders?"

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

I want to get a department meeting in before we have to go groundside."

You can get everybody together in the meeting room, yeah?"

@hoppiholla391

Which department, who, and is she even authorized to attend? xD

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

And what I have to say is that I actually stated that only the NNs, department heads and captain + authorized personnel could enter the server room. xD It either appears that everyone is some strange technowizard able to faze through that security, or they are all department heads. :P

Amy watched silently as events escalated in the server room. She made sure to stay clear of everyone's way, but she felt like pulling her sidearm and bellowing for those fighting to leave. The thought of using her Deck to call the Administrative head down to get everyone out echoed in her head, but the thought disappeared as some of the worse of the idiots in the room left. The assistant N-N poked his head in to see what had happened, but quickly disappeared.

"Tawha eth kafuc didi yathe od ot eth raserve?" She mumbled to herself, before shaking her head. "While authority is here, I need to ask in the next staff meeting that the damn fucking keycard security be updated! Only the networkers and higher rankers are supposed to have access into here." Amy shook her head. "And by the way, the servers are still up. While the servers being down would help them cool, they need to be up or we'll have a mob at our door again." She tapped on her Deck, which was beeping with every message she got. "You know what, this is it." With a groan, she rapidly typed out a message and sent it out on the shipwide network.


All users, priority

Network usage is now on Restricted level. Only ranks Lieutenant+ and bridge crew (along with Neural Networks (standard protocol, nothing special)) are able to message. Thanks to the overflux, the server is overheated.

Thank you for your cooperation
Amy Skydawner
Neural Networks Manager

Amy sighed, looking back up and watching Mason along with the others, looking flustered.

Gonna head to bed. :P Night folks!

Amy pressed enter, sending a reboot command to the hangar doors. A moment later, there was a beep and a green box appeared on the screen. Amy sighed out loud as she closed the box. At least that job was done. There was another chirp, a direct message to her. Amy's eyes fluttered tiredly. She swore, if it was someone else asking if someone could be sent to repair the coffee maker, Zariana have mercy...

Heading to server room now, going to try and reroute power, meet there pls

Amy smiled, and typed a reply of two words. Yes, ma'am. She let the assistant know where she was going, before she moved into the next room, taking her Admin Deck with her. Due to the link between the servers and the Neural Networkers that monitored them, they were literally seperated by a single door. She scanned her keycard on the door, which released a chime as she was granted access into the room. She stepped in, and stood, waiting for the arrival of the officer. She continually checked her uniform to ensure it was okay.
