"There were issues with the remote interfaces, stardrive calculations, times when she referred to herself in the third person, and a few blown capacitors and burned circuits. I don't think that's anything surprising for an AI being installed on a new ship. She has to get to know it and ship systems have to be upgraded to host her.""She's been online continuously for a week now and stable enough to build sand castles on. Short of physical damage to her circuitry, nothing should take her down unless I want it to," Lucas smiles, speaking more quickly and with far less deference."Oh yeah, kind of funny: when we first brought her online, she insisted the navcore was whispering Thuldan swearwords at her. Had feedback in the lexical processor and a corrupted reference table. I reindexed the table and had to degauss and swap the processor with a spare from a holo unit. She projected crosseyed until we could calibrate it."OOC: This technobabble brought to you by Star Trek and an undergraduate philosophy course.</blockquote>
