I'm afraid that I don't know what the error is. It's been coming up with remarkable frequency, compared to the normal problems.

I wonder...

Error? That does not sound good. What error?

[functioningperfectly]

Ah, it -

Very strange.

Do not worry, Pavel Andreievich Chekov, it is only a minor malfunction. I would compare it to a minor cough that persists for a few days.

What is strange?

As you say. But if it continues, tell me. I am unsure if I could be of help, but I could try, yes?

[functioningperfectly]

This community has the strangest habits.

I will be sure to do that. By the way, I may have told your Captain that, while he probably could not, you could easily hack my systems for the information he wants from me. However, like with him, I would advise against it.

That is putting it lightly.

He has not mentioned anything. What information did he want?

[functioningperfectly]

I'm beginning to think that 'putting it lightly' is the only way to function here.

Confidential information regarding the Jupiter mission.

[ruskieinwention.livejournal.com]

Da. Otherwise it is a bit too much like philosophy class.

That was the one with complications? Why would the captain want that?

[functioningperfectly]

I'm not sure. I assume he wants to know why and how Jupiter was destroyed in my universe, but that is, unfortunately, classified information. Information.

[ruskieinwention.livejournal.com]

Is that the error?

The captain is prone to be losing to his curiosity, yes? He means no harm by it.

[functioningperfectly]

Very interesting.

It is nothing I cannot handle, but thank you for the concern.

[functioningperfectly]

This community picking up on my speech and automatically transcribing it.

[functioningperfectly]

I find it extremely interesting. Especially since I have been trying to better understand the whims of the community.

[functioningperfectly]

Ah, yet another transformation. Those seem to be a staple.

Care to share it with the rest of the class? What error?

[functioningperfectly]

It's only minor hiccups within some very insignificant programming. You may see me repeating things through text, but I can assure you that it is nothing I cannot fix.

[losttheplanet.livejournal.com]

That's what they all say. Then they come back to me next week with acute functional dyspepsia.

Right. How exactly do you go about troubleshooting this?

[functioningperfectly]

I can promise you that I will not need to see a doctor.

I am currently running a virus scan; aside from that, I am systematically I am systematically running through my programming to discover the irregularity's origins and... I believe the saying is 'nip it in the bud'?

[losttheplanet.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised.

Yeah, that's the one. What kind of virus could you get, though? Is it one of the community's, or an attachment opened at the wrong place and wrong time?

[functioningperfectly]

I was hoping to reassure you.

I suppose I could get any sort of virus, especially with my keeping an active eye on the community. Since my systems are, unfortunately, unable to be kept up-to-date due to my location and presumed destruction, it's a bit difficult to keep myself completely protected.

Since I haven't been turned into an animal of some kind, however, I'm hesitant to think that this would be the community's fault.

[losttheplanet.livejournal.com]

Going to take a lot more than that.

Nothing like being a couple hundred years over the rim. Or, well, under it, in your case. Your location? Aren't you installed on a spaceship? Has that changed---supposed destruction? You mean you were supposed to be but aren't? What happened, did they change their minds?

That's a little narrow. If the viruses here have no real pattern to them, technically they could do anything. So long as it's unexpected. Then it'd be boring. Can't have that.

[functioningperfectly]

I'm sorry, I've never been adept at comforting humans.

Ah... I am installed on a space ship, and I was within the range of the explosion that resulted from the destruction of planet Jupiter. However, as I've told your Captain, the details of all of this is confidential.
