There will probably be a question for GPS sites. She has to verify who is answering those. Those with crew names probably won't get questions.
If I am lucky enough to get the "long conversation" call (I maintain that ALL the calls are live conversations with Melissa the AI from the future!) what if I answer: Name = Greene, Rank = Captain? Might I then be able to give her orders and take over the whole game?
More likely it would just get me a new membership in "Failures Anonymous"!
Actually, I think the crew will be getting a lot of questions, just not directly answerable from in game transmissions. She's still trying to assess her damage, so I think she'll be asking us our opinions, as well as asking us to tell her stories or sing or tell jokes ("I recognize that as a joke, I'm just not sure it's funny" ) I fully expect her to ask on the welfare of my sister, and possibly the other crewmembers.

It looks like I get the first Axon this week.
If anyone wants to PM me with their phone number, I can report the question immediately afterwards. Otherwise, it would take me 30 minutes to get back to the office and report in.

Question: Who is your colonel?
Answer: xnbomb
Actually, that's not bad SPEC. Now that we're listed as crew, our names are fair game as much as Capt. Greene's was.

Good point.
Do we have a definitive list of crewmembers and their rank compiled from the audio?

But pronunciation would be very difficult with player made handles. I could see someone early in the game responding to the question:
Q. Who is your Lieutenant Commander?
A. Shad Zero
Then again, she did give us a .wav of everyone saying their names. So who knows
what lurks in the hearts of men... Shad Zero knows.

But there are several people of certain ranks. Why not flip it? "What rank is ...?" This would allow for multiple questions.

Yeah, that's my point. Shad-oh is the correct way to say it, not because how it is spelled out, but because that is how the player himself said it. People who would go to the axons without some sound recorder to listen to how the player said their name, would just respond to Melissa's question with how the name looks. If every phonecall isn't live, it might be hard for people to pronounce the name in the way the recognition software will pick it up.

I think it is Major Jared Mock. (might not be how he spells it, but that sounds like how it is pronounced)

Actually it rhymes with 'ramen', assuming you don't pronounce ramen like some odd people I know. That will surely work anyway.

In fact, that may have been a purpose of posting the crew_1.wav - so that we would hear how the names get pronounced.
I still think it's probably not going to be the case, but it sure is possible.

Still, I think it was worth it. Now everyone knows who we are, and everyone knows what some of us sound like (now isn't THAT scary?)
