URSULA CONTACT
URSULA is usually available for brief contact. Consider this her inbox. Although she may be busy ICly doing something at the time, she can usually spare some time to answer something.

Alternately, you can link to a thread where she is being called upon. Note that she may ignore these calls or contacts dependent on her mood. Don't worry if she ignores you once or twice, as she will sometimes comment on open posts or make broadcasts to everyone.

Please label the day and time of the contact in the subject header.

For those curious, her voice sounds similar to this.

If any players wish to contact Naoko and her group, they are free to use this page. They will have to take the three hour trip by air or sea as there is currently no long-range communication in place for them. Please specify in the header that it is Naoko you are trying to reach and not URSULA, in this case, as well as labeling the date you are contacting the group.

I thought this culture disapproved of that kind of relationship.

[He read your award-winners. He knows.]

[subnauticmods]

[ Don't fluster her, Dirk, that's rude. ]

I mean that strictly as a programmer and avid lover of technology. Aren't you curious?

[splinten]

I am, but I'm also wary of an AI that operates entirely without reference to the thoughts of present humans. Any entity, human or otherwise, can become dangerous if it acts individually and has a great deal of power.

[And then Dirk gave the Uncle Ben speech.]

[subnauticmods]

Not a fan of independent AI, huh?

[splinten]

I'm not a fan of any entity that can kill me without me standing half a chance.

[HE REALLY ISN'T, NAOKO. HE DID HIS TIME. HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY WANT TO DIE.]

[subnauticmods]

He won't kill you. He's too smart to turn on a human. Yes, yes, I know, it's arrogant, but we have a lot of practice making AIs.

[splinten]

What are his key heuristics on that? I don't want to be suddenly determined a threat and taken out. Besides which, not all of our base is human. [He jerks a thumb to indicate Karkat.]

[subnauticmods]

[ Naoko shifts her weight. She forgot about Karkat. ]

If I remember correctly, a threat is defined as anything that intends to attack a human being with lethal intent or major harm. So yeah, we do need to update him on your situation. He wouldn't attack them but he might not defend them. If he's smart enough, he might realise they need defending. I haven't worked with him much myself.

[splinten]

[Hm yeah, that definitely needs talking to. He's a little wary about talking to ISHMAEL, but if ISHMAEL already knows they're there, it would be worth clarifying the terms.]

Besides that, we have a lot of people who train together. He's probably smart enough to tell the difference most of the time, but as you're aware, some of us have unusual power sets.

Do you think he knows about us? Your group and mine both. We found a transmission from you and Michael, but the rest has been from crews of other ships. I don't know if there are any other Aurora survivors that he might have zeroed in on.

[subnauticmods]

I don't know. [ She sighs, a little frustrated. ] I wish we had a way of communicating with him. There must be one but I just haven't thought of it. Honestly I'm this close to just triggering a large explosion to get his attention.

But if she survived, then Mimi Yun is who he'd find. She created him. [ There is a moment where she seems like she'll let something slide before she huffs and continues. ] A doctor, can you believe that? She had him programmed in tune to her so the military couldn't just take him without her permission or start any modifications without her presence. But she's a doctor, an amazing one. I can't get over that. With that kind of gift for programming...

[ Don't mind her inferiority issues. ]

At any rate, I should be in charge of him if Mimi isn't around but honestly? I don't know if she kept that chain of command intact or not.
