A Series of Errors Part 36
(Photo by Anna Tarazervich) “Wait, wait, what am I seeing?” Min asked as the three of them sat in the nurses stations. Matiew was reclining in his new bed while Min and Rine worked at the desks usually devoted to the nurses. It was easier to work there than it was in the hospital rooms.…

(Photo by Jan Van Bizar) BaBS-Y didn’t calculate its odds of success as being very high with regards to defending ISaCC for very long without permission to engage them. What’s happening? Are you sure you found them? The questions from Matiew or possibly Supervisor Segua were typed out much faster than the previous contacts BaBS-Y…

A Series of Errors Part 34
(Photo by Thomas Stix) There were a number of advantages to the way Earth Transit Technologies went about filling their colony ships. By being able to hand select each person, they could ensure that there were as few bad eggs, so to speak, on any given ship. Criminal backgrounds, difficult personalities, and poor medical histories…

(Photo by Kindel Media) BaBS-Y stood for a few more minutes. The Thesis authorities had not granted it access to the security cameras. That was to be expected. They probably didn’t understand why it had asked for that access either. It was…unfortunate. Updates were coming in from all across the Thesis as the controls for…

(Photo by Pixabay) “Absolutely not!” Min put her foot down. “That robot’s done something to the director and now it’s trying to use that as leverage.” “We don’t know that,” Matiew said. “Why is it asking for access to the cameras, huh?” Min asked. She was pacing back and forth across the small hospital room.…

A Series of Errors Part 31
(Photo by SHVETS Production) A day passed. Keeping track of time on board the Thesis was, in some ways less complicated than it was back on Earth. For one thing, there was no sunrise or sunset that varied in frequency throughout the year. There were no leap-years or leap-seconds. No orbit around the Sun that…

A Series of Errors Part 30
(Photo by Zachary DeBottis) Threats were only successful if the one making them was credible. Otherwise, those being threatened would just ignore the threats. The strength of the threat, then, was not necessarily the magnitude of the threat. Using threats also had the tendency of worsening relationships between the one making the threats and those…

A Series of Errors Part 29
The four people, including Matiew, who sat in his hospital room were all very quiet and sitting very still. At first, when Min and Rine had returned with Mr Jorgenson, there was a sense of excitement and anticipation. They could communicate with BaBS-Y. Ever since it had severed it’s hard-line connection to the Thesis, it…

A Series of Errors Part 28
Sector twelve was dark. Not totally pitch black since the emergency lights still cast their faint illumination over the sector but the shadows were deep and the details were soft. It had been that way for some time now. For anyone not used to it, it would have proven difficult to make out much of…

A Series of Erros Part 27
(Photo by Pixabay) The Thesis had a small hospital on sector three. With a relatively small population, the medical needs of those on board didn’t warrant much space to be devoted for such things. That wasn’t to say that the medical facilities were primitive. Nearly every medical procedure that could be performed on earth could…
