I am sorry

My Japanese isn't that good, but I was thinking about this earlier. I wanted to wait until I could find something definitive.

I know I'm not the only one to think about giving GPS coordinates to Melissa for this fish market. I have been playing around with http://www.mapfan.com, and it does some GPS mapping if you looking at the URL info on the status bar.

However, I couldn't find an English version of the website.

I hope someone here can tell for sure if this tool might be useful.

Can we look at this again?

Dana = human being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Melissa = Corrupted AI with hunger to reveal an unknown truth as well as revenge.
SP = unknown origin, unknown reason for existance (correct me if I'm wrong)
PF = confused little bug.

Who, at first glance, do you want to help the most? I for one don't want to put a human being on the chopping block, but if Melissa's mission is to reveal the truth about some kind of covenant activity or that earth is in eminent danger we need to help her so we can stop the covenant from glassing the planet.

So what the bob are we supposed to do? There's too many buttons in front of us and I really don't feel like pushing the wrong one.

Either way Melissa is not in a right and sane frame of mind right now. Continuing to do everything she says seems foolish on our part. Also, i have been wondering, since when does a ship comand her crew? maybe we should be giveing the ship some orders such as stop focusing on a false assasin and start figuring out how to get your crew home.

What is an AI's military rank anyway?

That would probably be Acting Captain i would think. if that is the proper designation.

[SuperJerms]

or how about this one:

Dana=human
Melissa=not
SP=not
PF=not


Listen, what the freak does everyone think M's gonna do if she finds Dana? Send her a Candy-gram (maybe a Pocki-gram, she is in Japan )?

"Maybe if the hate fest hadn't continued..."
1) [OOG]I realize that your patience and sense of humor has worn thin in the last week, but I think the vodoo doll thing was a joke.
2) Hasn't the whole SPA vs. Crew thing played out already in other threads?[/OOG}
3) [IG]This is NOT about SPA vs. Crew. This is about helping someone that has already tried to murder Dana twice, and has today started trying evaporate Dana's funds. Read the Danablog for more on that.[/IG]


We need to start trying to convince M that Dana is a civilian, and that she's now in a time where the most advanced AI's in the world are in video games. Dana had no idea what she was attacking when she tried to fix the site, and she is a NON-COMBATANT.

Until we do that, we desperately need to keep Dana hidden from Melissa. Folks, we are still a team, and we all have the same goal here. It's funny that Crisko said something about pushing the wrong buttons...I am starting to see strange parallels to Satanley Milgram's famous obedience to authority studies. Basically, it tells us that, given a good authority, people will WAY overstep the boundaries of what they would deem acceptable...That includes exposing other people to danger.

I say give Melissa what she wants.

Ok, considering I've read all the books - someone should try this:


Call yourself ADMIRAL ROLAND FREEMONT

That's the full name of the Admiral who ordered all UNSC forces to the Reach system after a Covenent invasion force was detected. However, this Admiral was NOT present (atleast the book doesn't state he was) at the Battle of Reach. The Admiral present was one: ADMIRAL MICHAEL STANFORTH. He was aboard the UNSC Leviathan - which was destroyed when it moved infront of enemy fire to protect the Pillar of Autumn.

Perhaps (if the PM's are 100% prepared) this might evoke an interesting reaction from Melissa - a real life UNSC Admiral. Tell her FLEETCOM HQ (I Believe this is located in Sydney, Australia (The location mentioned in "First Strike") however, be reluctant to offer the location as it may be incorrect... use it ONLY if she asks) gave you orders to assess the situation with Melissa and to request a full transcript of her directives.

[Crisko]

Arashi makes a good suggestion. But is it safe to act as a fictional character? I wouldn't want to take the chance but thats just me.

[Stratus]

AIs do not have a rank. They are more of a civilian or specialist.

Smart AIs like cortona and Melissa(guessing that she is a smart AI) are allowed to do anything they want. They have the power and are not afraid to use it.

They cannot give orders to anyone, but they can give suggestion, which are uselly the best idea. But they could always override the controls of the ship and make it do what they want.
