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...

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.

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?

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'?

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?

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.

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.

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.

Computers aren't very comforting to me in the best of times.

The destruction of Jupiter? How did that happen? Wait, you're....what the hell happened to it? Hate to tell you this, but planets usually don't blow themselves up for no reason.

Right. Confidential. And who has the confidence?

I'm afraid that only a select few doctors in my universe have the clearance to access those details.

Of course, your Captain has already asked most of the questions I suspect you will ask regarding it.

It figures. Well, so long as he asked good questions, I don't really mind being in the dark.

He asked all the questions a young captain would, yes.
