Hi Enaxor. Have asked LISA, our favorite chinese-box, exactly what you requested. So, very good question, note the 'universe' bit & will follow up.


Thank you!

There is a star in the Pegasus constellation with that number: HIP 109234.

 		Well, others are getting numbers, and I got "two."

EDIT: Also when I asked if LISA's memory was faulty, I got the reply "I suddenly have more memories than I ever remember having."

 		Also regarding ALICE: The AI was mostly brought up asan example of other AIs. I'm not so sure shipboard AIs are relevant from Earth at this point.

 		From my convo with LISA:

Quote:
There is ALICE, yes. She is in control of all interstellar flight systems. We share the same voice, but not much else.

Where could those come from? With her recent behavior I'd have to say that whatever is happening to her isn't normal or part of her programming. If its not this "rebel group" from the past, I think it has to be coming from ALICE or Atlas.

 		Naha, Enaxor, shd be thanking you for that treasure-trove question b/c LISA isn't shy about hiding her feelings re ATLAS. So, there's another post update on p.29.

 		So I wasn't able to get on from work, but I was asking LISA about her current issues. While I didn't get any numbers from her, I did ask about how many users and administrators were logged into her systems.

Her response:
Quote:


Data Recieved.
Processing...
Initializing LISA Routines...

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**


Many administrators. They are about to make a decision. There is another that I do not know


When I asked her if I was the unknown user, she replied that I wasn't access her systems, I was querying from an outside terminal.

In short: LISA does indeed appear to be in the process of being hacked.

What do we do?

ALICE pilots ships. She guides them through portals.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

 		Akamu on the Horizon Act.

Quote:
Ah, yes. The Horizon act. I apologize for not explaining further, friend.

The Horizon Act is the agreement between the Union and Horizon Industries that gives Horizon its power. You see, Horizon Industries was, as you may know from their materials, founded long before you or I were born. They had a clear vision; harvest the resources and develop the technology that would be used in the coming future. That was almost two-hundred years ago.

And they did that, announcing slipspace technology right as the UN elections began. As you can imagine, with things the way they were on Earth, people were scared; they were ready to go. Horizon took advantage of that fear and used it to gain power. Unfortunately, they never let it go.

The Union knows all of this, but they too are simply too afraid of how what they have built will survive. How can we keep interstellar commerce flowing without Horizon to provide us with the means necessary? And yes, as Jones said, the question is valid.

But we have survived for two-hundred thousand years on Earth without Horizon. We will discover a way without Horizon. But the Union doesn't want to think that way. They are comfortable with the way things are.

So, the council has, once again, voted to extend the Horizon Act. Jones volunteered to visit with Sparrow so he could ensure the delivery from Yimmu Logistics arrives, but the official reason for his visit is to talk with Sparrow about the extension. The deal will officially go into effect a few weeks from now.


LISA when asked to elaborate on having more memories:

 		Email from LISA:
Quote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

The decision-makers are getting close to making a decision. I think it should be you

So, I'm at least the second person that got this. Too bad when she sent it I was busy with something at work. It's probably after hours for her and I won't get to chat. Sad

 		When asked how far back LISA could remember:

Quote:
I would speak in days as I did before, but there would be far too many.
Five-hundred five million one-hundred three thousand seven-hundred seventy-seven.

(505,103,777)

 		That's approx. 1,383,845 years.
Unless she was referring to something other than days above, in which case I'm wrong.

That just doesn't make any sense. I wonder if whomever is tweaking LISAs programming...us trying to send us a message?

" I would speak in days as I did before, but there would be far too many"

1,383,845 years

Sheesh, is she AI...or something WAY older?
