This is funny... now I googled "cyclades", and depending on the site, I get the group defined from as little as less than 10 islands to as many as 220. Question

Guys, we're asking the wrong questions: there was a security/hull breach, one which the AI was supposed to pick up, chew up, and spit out while juggling three penguins, sending an SMS and making coffee (espresso, not the instant stuff).

The AI failed, and someone manually overrode the situation... so who and how?

The AI kept sending the bulkheadclose requests, as I guess it is supposed to do, but kept getting a bulkhead error on number 7. Someone manually overrode the system (which to me is reassuring, because it means the machine isn't in control just yet) but logically, the only way that could've happened was if someone went out there and shut the thing themself.

And also, fair enough a bit of corporate spin-doctoring, but for Metacortex to come out and claim the whole thing to be a success stretches the imagination: there was at least one person, probably more (supervisor, support team and the technician who ended up shutting the door) who were aware that the system didn't work.

Ooooh, the sinisternessness. Its so... sinister... Cool

It occurs to me that the delay between the disaster occurring and the reporting of the event could be the time they spent disappearing the folks involved.

Unlikely, maybe? I dunno.
