[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2320665, member: 17691"] The patina stained droid shuffles into the lift and silently turns to face the control panel. As it taps its intended destination onto the keypad, with its left hand, it pulls out a computer hookup cable from its left hip and connects it to the small computer port below the main panel. A gentle hum can be heard as the port begins to spin slowly, indicating the droid has successfully linked to the Reliant's computer network. R-LE begins to access the ship's computer to ascertain the vessel's current operational condition: speed, heading, alert status, crew complement, engine efficiency, fuel reserves, energy reserves, energy consumption; for anything that might indicate a problem or an unanticipated development. [COLOR=LightBlue][I](Computer Use +16, Gather Information +9)[/I][/COLOR] During it's leisurely probe, Arley brushes past the crew's personal logs which would almost certaintly prove more informative. [SIZE=1][FONT=System][COLOR=Green]Access crew logs (Y/N?) Heuristic Node: No. Being detected accessing "restricted" data may lead to unnecessary and invasive maintenance of my code. I will continue to access "unrestricted" data until such time as my current situation changes.
