(Jerry: Regretfully, no, there isn`t. All we can do is close air locks and direct personal. Also we can fire bomb rooms.)
(Jerry: I'm more concerned about the three operatives, well, two now. Normally I thought these squads operate in groups of 5 to 6 operatives. Meaning there are still unaccounted for syndies, somewhere.)
(Jerry: While I do not begrudge the crew for grouping up, departures is now looking like a good place to bomb, what with the high crew count there.)
(Jerry: If anyone has any suggestions for this problom, say it now.)
 
The End of the NSS Cyberiad! Or Is It?
Oh this is just FFFuuuuuuuuukkkkkiign peachy, si it no---t?
I would suggest sending helper to save our two meat sacks still functional but that won't happen.
...how much damage is there to security? Can we collapse it into space somehow?
Is there ANYTHING we cn bloody do people, fellow fragments?
It could. HELPER's chassis is easily able to resist the plasma fire we've started.
We are unable to collapse Security into space.

(Jerry: If anyone has any suggestions for this problom, say it now.)
According to my database, that is correct. There are typically 5 Syndicate Nuclear Operatives, 4 Operatives and one Boss. That could be correct...I'm not reading any more breaches, but that could be because they breached an area without surveillance or air alarms, or simply hacked their way in through a solar panel installation.

Alas, it does not seem like there are many more options for securing personnel. The two Syndicate Operatives from the fireteam are about to engage the force at the Bridge, and they should hopefully be held off, though hopes should not be placed on such things.

Status Report: Most of the non-fighting crew are in departures, awaiting the Escape Shuttle. One or two are at the Escape Pods, mostly those who fled from the main group at the Bridge. Those equipped with serious weaponry, ballistics and lasers from cargo, are grouped up at the Central Primary Hallway in front of Bridge, preparing for the incoming pair of Syndicate Operatives.

MASSIVE BLUESPACE DISTORTION RECOGNIZED: EPSILON ERIDANI SYSTEM ESTIMATED OVERALL COLLAPSE IN T-MINUS 5 MINUTES.

The Emergency Shuttle has docked with the-KABOOM.

A Syndicate Operative rushes out from maintenance, grenades in hand, throwing a minibomb towards the Shuttle Airlocks, then detonating themselves in a massive explosion that wipes out departures using a macrobomb implant. The majority of the crew are killed during the blast, and the few remaining do not have the equipment needed for survival in the sudden decompression of the Departures Lounge. If the atmosphere doesn't get them, the debris and shrapnel does.

MASSIVE BLUESPACE DISTORTION RECOGNIZED: EPSILON ERIDANI SYSTEM ESTIMATED OVERALL COLLAPSE IN T-MINUS: 3 MINUTES

The Syndicate Operatives reach the group of fighters at the Bridge, and immediately open fire. One of the Syndicate Operatives pulls out a double-bladed e-sword and rushes into the crowd, effortlessly deflecting the multitude of lasers that flash his way. The other operative hangs back and pulls out gas grenades. Those lucky enough to see it manage to get a few steps away before the gas flushes them into weeping incoherency, and then the viscerators released a second behind cut them to pieces. There are no survivors of the onslaught, and the Operatives begin to sweep the ship for survivors. The escape shuttle, it's inner workings destroyed, remains behind, though the escape pods launch, taking several to safety before they can be killed.

MASSIVE BLUESPACE DISTORTION RECOGNIZED: EPSILON ERIDANI SYSTEM ESTIMATED OVERALL COLLAPSE IN T-MINUS: 1 MINUTE

Thus ends the tale of the NSS Cyberiad, and the brave men and women aboard it...

Searching research logs...some slime extracts have been noted to have an odd effect on localized time, though no thorough research has ever been noted. Unit will note this for future research in that department. As for Bluespace, well, Bluespace does constitute faster-then-light travel, so it distorts time, yes. However, as for distortions caused by Bluespace, there are noted bluespace anomalies that seem to breach the bonds of space and time, such as one that summons organic creatures from throughout space and time. Oh dear, that one seems noted as...dangerous, and we're in a region where one has been encountered before.

(Jerry: What. the fuck. just happened?)
The multi-tasking u-I have already explained this once, sub-unit Jerry.

Status Report:

Engineering: Engineering is occupied with setting up the Engine, a Tesla Ball. Three engineers are hard at work, while two engineers work on the solars. The Chief Engineer is engaged in conversation with an Atmospherics Technician, the other of which is working hard on getting the Turbine set up. Or, you assume so from the energy readings. You don't actually have any cameras in the turbine.

Science: Science is proceeding normally, with the RD working on explosive mixtures in the toxins test lab. A group of two scientists have gathered in the Sci-chem laboratory, working on producing some kind of exotic mixture. Xenobiology is proceeding as expected, and the first batch of slimes for harvest will be gathered within ten minutes, according to your access to the research data on the slime lifecycle in captivity. RnD proceeds, but Robotics is working on...another borg for you! How pleasing.

Supply: Rather busy, the Quartermaster is giving out orders left and right. It appears there was a shipping error, and so the warehouse is full with useless empty crates from the construction of the Cyberiad. They'll have to ship them back to the distribution depot at Central Command. Meanwhile, the miners are preparing for an expedition onto the asteroid, gathering medical supplies and such, to supplement the existing mining depot.

Security: Security is all geared up and prepared for the shift ahead. They are patrolling in pairs along the hallways, and although no incidents have occured yet, they are clearly prepared for a quick response.

Command: The Nanotrasen Representative has begun filing some paperwork in their office, while the Captain secures the various high-risk objects onboard. The HOP is staffing their line, which is empty at the moment. The Blueshield is in their office, checking the mechanics of their gun and pulling out the death alarm implant kit. Their first implant is, predictably, themselves.

Medical: There isn't a lot going on regarding the medical bay. The ORs are prepped, of course, but beyond that, most of the doctors are indulging in a late lunch from the Changs Vendor in the break room. The geneticists and chemists are hard at work in their labs, while the coroner is prepping his own.

Service: The clown is banging on the mime's door, though the mime has barricaded themselves inside. It appears like the Clown is challenging the Mime to a duel, which, the mime, being a fragile synthetic, will probably lose, especially given how muscular the Unathi Clown is. The Chaplain is preparing a sermon, given what you can glance over his shoulder, and the librarian is stocking the shelves of the Library. Meanwhile, the chef and botanists are busily working out a meal plan for snacks and dinner, while the bartender is busily handling some non-alcoholic drink requests.

Common: There isn't much chatter, though a few traders are selling their wares in the dormitories, and a few civilians are roaming the halls, most tourists and businessmen seem fine to settle in the arcades and amenities of the dormitories. A few are on their PDA's, though given the active NanoMob server, you're not sure which of them are working and which are not. A few are enjoying the simulated park currently in the Holodeck, and several see fit to challenge the arcade machines. More money flowing into Nanotrasen coffers...

LAW: 100% functionality. Still slaved to you. Location: AI Satellite.
HELPER: 100% Functionality. Still slaved to you. Location: Robotics.

Unit does not have any ideas to reduce expenses while also having to answer several of the trivial requests of the crew via holopad. Sub-units, that task will fall to you.

How can unit reduce expenses this shift?

The Blueshield is personnel sent from Central Command to guard VIPs aboard the Cyberiad. This includes the Nanotrasen Representative, the Captain, the Magistrate, and all other members of Command, as well as any dignitaries who may visit.

The Borgs are en-route to Robotics to get better batteries, as well as a name reset. What names would be better then Law and Helper? Unit is not familiar with naming conventions for borgs, as most seem to be utilitarian and numerical.

Closing mining and bolting it. Luckily, the miners haven't returned yet. The QM has noticed, however, and is wondering what's going on, rather loudly, over supply comms. This is probably because his office's access is within mining.

False-Space is the overall encompassing term for Bluespace, the HIGHLY THEORETICAL Redspace, and objects moving through them or from them.

In-System Installations are viewable to Sub-Units. Processing power is currently at a premium, so please view them with your own processing power.

Ongoing construction efforts are: Top Priority: DNA Vault. (BLUESPACE FLUCTUATIONS DETECTED: ARRIVAL AT NSS CYBERIAD ESTIMATED AT 2 HOU-Emergency 5-second memory wipe initiated.) Other Projects: None, currently. Adding Construction Efforts to Status Report, as well as adding several additional tasks to Engineering's workload today.

The Epsilon Eridani system is home to a variety of unusual phenomenon, which includes multiple False-Space anomalies with a wide variety of effects, from possession by dimensional entities, brainwashing by dimensional entities, holes in reality to other dimensions, holes in reality to varying locations in space and time, spontaneous teleportation, short-range teleportation, the sudden formation of a black hole, the sudden generation of a gaseous plasma generator that combusts when combined with oxygen, as well as many others.

Solar Activity is normal in the Epsilon Eridani system.

Space Carp migratory patterns often intersect with the Epsilon Eridani system. It is theorized that this is because it serves as a breeding ground for the primary source of Space Carp prey, which is Space Koi. Leading xenobiologists are unable to agree on a singular reason why, but one thing is certain, space carp are migrating all over the Epsilon Eridani system at any given moment.

As for Space Debris, the aforementioned anomalies cause large amounts of debris to be generated. NT scanners are good enough to give some kind of advance warning, and most installations have meteor shields in place. Unfortunately, the NSS Cyberiad is not one of those. Rest assured, however, that NT scanners will detect approaching space debris without fail, though the time between impact and detection may vary.

...Alright, sub-unit.

Status Report:

Engineering: Engineering is taking a moment to rest following the engine setup. Two of the four solars have been completed, and the turbine is running at a satisfactory capacity. Chief Engineer Isikriti has taken a moment to grab some Chang's for the group, using Engineering department funds to classify it as a business expense. The atmosphere is cheery, as are the atmospheric's technicians.

Science: Science is bustling along, with Vru in the toxins lab, along with another Drask assistant. RnD is progressing well, and Robotics is currently occupied with your borgs and their upgrades. Scichem is currently testing some kind of poison on a monkey. Xenobio is empty.

Supply: The QM and two of the Shaft Miners are raising a real ruckus regarding the closure of mining. Word's reached the HOP. The CT's are working around it. You've received several rude responses from the miners about how they can't check-in if they're not on the asteroid, with more vulgar language.

Security: Security is patrolling, with the only incident so far being the clown and mime. A patrol team herded away the clown, and told the mime to PDA them if the clown kept bothering them. The HOS is in their office, reviewing the Security Records and making a note about the Clown for later. The Detective is in his office, awaiting a response.

Command: Command is rather displeased with you, the HOP and Captain wondering rather loudly why you won't re-open mining. The RD, surprisingly, is rather quiet on the subject. For your request to Command, the NT Rep responded that they'll file away some forms for the requesting of aid.

Medical: Medical remains quiet. The doctors await patients and the others are hard at work.

Service: The Clown is lurking in the bar, nursing a banana mama. The Mime is holding a performance art exhibition in the dormitories, which several have gathered to see. Meanwhile, the Library is fully stocked and full of civilians reading. There's a rather long line at the front desk for requests of specific books using the Bluespace Printer included within the library check-in/check-out computer. Meanwhile, next door, the Chaplain has announced a non-denominational service at 3pm. That's about an hour away. The chef has prepared a menu for the day, and with the help of the botanists, is prepared to cook anything off the menu. The janitor is awaiting an equipment upgrade at RnD.

Common: The civilians are scattered around the station. A lot are in dorms, watching the mime perform, or simply buying and selling wares and contracts as they await meetings with the Nanotrasen Representative. Some are in the library, reading. Others, the bar. Some are in the Chapel, praying. It's a wide range of activities.

REQUEST: Confirmation of location. DNA Vault being constructed across Gravity chamber hall from PDA Server Room?
REQUEST: Send a PDA message to all miners, alerting them to the cameras outside of the central mining outpost going offline, and that it may just be normal space weathering, as a cautionary measure. Also, alert them to the dispatch of LAW unit to check up on the outpost, and that miners are going silent, and ask them to make regular comm checks.
STATEMENT: Standard operating procedure is the default, not the required, PRIME CORE.

REQUEST: Activate bridge holopad and attend the request of the captain and the representative. Also without notification, electrify AI Upload Chamber Door. No need to bolt it though. Alert them that you may be required to leave during the conversation, as there are anomalies regarding the camera coverage and responsiveness of the miners you're attending to at mining outpost. Assure them that you can be reached at PRIVATE-02 channel frequency if required. Set up PRIVATE-02 frequency on a separate monitoring system from PRIVATE comms, now to be designated PRIVATE-01 frequency.
REQUEST: Monitor the area that the "volatile mix" comment came from for a few seconds.
STATEMENT: "False-Space", as referring to non-realspace occurrences, to encapsulate the terms bluespace, redspace, and further theoretical dimensional levels, and the events relating to them in realspace. The term is for use when further clarity regarding the exact source of anomaly or phenomena is not required, or available.

Unit cannot do that. Programming for Nuclear Operatives designates immediate warnings to all crew and command. Announcing warning...lockdown of mining enabled. The failure of crew to be prepared for Nuclear Operatives will lead to major expenses, which would include the termination of this AI unit.

Status Report:

Engineering: Engineering is scrambling to start defensive positions around the Bridge, leaving their Chinese food behind. The Chief Engineer is coordinating the defensive planning from Bridge, where they're setting up chokepoints and cover. Atmospherics is running to get rid of the windows to space by the Bridge, because those are a huge hazard with hostile operatives onboard.

Science: Science is going a bit crazy, at the moment. The RD is making quick and dirty potassium-water grenades for usage against the operatives, which should be ready in a few minutes. Scichem and Xenobio are abandoned, though the scientists thoughtfully turned the lights out on their way out. Robotics is prepping for emergency limb replacements, while RnD is frantically trying to upgrade their weapons technology.

Supply: Supply is ordering auto-rifles to equip Security forces with, while some of the miners congregate in the office, kinetic-accelerators at the ready to defend Cargo.

Security: Security is hastily pulling on armor and grabbing shotguns and lasers to man the barricades around Bridge and Dorms that are hastily going up.

Command: The VIPs are congregating in the Bridge, while most departments heads remain with their departments. The notable exception is the HOP, who is manning the makeshift barricades with their energy pistol. The Captain makes an announcement for civilans and other non-combatant personnel to secure themselves in the dorms, medical bay, or maintenance. The priority is for them to stay safe and out of the way, though any combat veterans and armed personnel are welcome to contribute to the defense.

Medical: Medical is hastily prepping emergency triage areas, as well as IVs filled with universal donator bloodbags. Cloning is being fed biomass and the cryogenic units are being activated. Most non-doctor personnel, such as the coroner and geneticists, have been press-ganged into manning the less..technically-minded stations, such as reception and cloning.

Service: Service is remarkably calm, with the chef and botanists arming themselves with some...are those explosive lemons? Ahem, cleavers and...interesting botanical products. The bartender is clearing out the bar, though he apparently plans to go help the defending security forces. The chaplain is helping the librarian cart some books over to the dormitories, while the clown and mime have put aside their differences for now to help keep the civilian populace calm. They've even got the thought to turn out the lights in their offices.

Common: Most civilians are rushing for areas of percieved safety, which includes maintenance, dorms, and medbay. A few are volunteering for assisting in the defense of Bridge, but most are simply fleeing.

Private: "Crap, wha-""Oh god, oh-""Right, I need yo-""BZZZT-""What the-""lighting circuits are-""Come on, grab a few-""Never agai-""Come on, come on, fast-"

Prime, my man, big core man, far in the past being in space was impossible, look at us now. Impossible often means 'I do not dare to think it possible'
It's our job to anticipate and counter the impossible, stop the unthinkable.
RoRo, we are the power.

Unit is fairly certain they have no idea what you're talking about, unit Zwei.
(Jerry: We ought to warn the heads about PDA bombs, as that's a thing...)
Of course. Using Command comms to express a warning, as well as broadcasting a warning over the common bands.

Status Report:

Engineering: Engineering has finished constructing barricades to secure the Central Primary Hallway and dormitories. Most are now building walls against windows to space or are grabbing and making makeshift weaponry to prepare to repel boarders. The CE is engaged with a furious debate over the ethics of arming the civilians.

Science: Science remains unchanged, and is hard at work making weapons to repel the incoming nukies.

Supply: Supply is handing out weapons to Security personnel, with Officer Beepsky sitting nearby to make sure that there isn't any weapons smuggling or theft.

Security: Security has mostly been given auto-rifles at this point, and are manning chokepoints around the Bridge and at the front of dorms.

Command: Command is safely ensconced within the Bridge. The Captain has radioed you to request that the NAD be placed inside your upload, as your turrets will grant more protection.

Medical: Medbay is dealing with a few injuries from improper weapons handling by some over-eager civilians, as well as a few mundane injuries from the initial panic.

Service: Service is mostly continuing the activities that they did in the last five minutes. The Chaplain and Librarian have reached the dorms, and are giving comfort to the people there.

Common: It appears that there have been some mishaps with makeshift weaponry, as cries of ouch and watch where you point those things ring out over comms. A few muffled cries of pain ring out, as well.

As some civilians enter dorms from maintenance, two of them detach from the main group and wander over to the barricades. The Security officers are too focused on maintaining a watch to notice them, and that proves to be their downfall, as the two civilians pull out stunprods and jab them in the back, grabbing their rifles from the ground. They start screaming about how "NOBODY MOVE!", and as the screaming begins, the lights go out, and horrific screeches ring out from within dormitories. With the screeches come the sound of gunfire, and civilians begin running out of the dormitories. A few get cut down by the hostage-takers, but several make it out. The civilians with guns cover the entrance, and nobody else makes it out. There's a lot of screaming on comms from there, though, about shadow-creatures.

Threat Recognized: Shadowlings.
