Chapter 4 - A helping AI

Dimitri finished listening to the little girl nuzzled his nose. "Well, since you're determined to help us I think we deserve answers.

Why can you read our thoughts?"

Marta showed a smile. "Because I am an artificial intelligence created to help the new residents of space station 0888.

The technology… Error… Unable to contact database.

I can't answer how my technology works, but you should know that I will be with you at all times."

Jasper who was listening frowned "Is this place an alien base or whoever built this place."

Marta stared at Jasper, showing a completely terrifying face. "Insufficient security level. I can't answer that question."

Dimitri took a deep breath and looked at Marta seriously. "What can you answer about this place?"

Marta changed her face for a calmer one. "This is the space station 0888 and you are the only people alive detected.

So my duty is to take care of you at all times."

Jasper turned his head to look at Dimitri. "I don't think we'll get any answers from this little hologram girl, but at least we know they've been watching us."

At that moment, Jasper crossed his arms and looked at the little girl. "Which is what was detected in the lower levels."

Marta smiled evilly. "Humanoid creatures of unknown origin… Error…Insufficient permissions to give more information."

Jasper nuzzled his chin for a moment. "Can you hurt us somehow?"

Marta shook her head at him. "Your survival is important and under any circumstances your life must be guaranteed."

Dimitri shrugged, "Well, since you're just answering automatically I'd like to know if it's necessary to take food and other things for survival like weapons."

Marta tilted her head to the side, and her red eyes gleamed. "Analyzing… Analyzing… Analyzing…

It is recommended to bring supplies, since the state of the lower levels is completely unknown. Weapons can also be taken, but they will be useless against humanoid creatures … Analyzing…

After reviewing the available database, it is recommended that survivors carry a weapon to avoid mental collapse.

Human creatures need a sense of security, weak minds need placebos."

Marta smiled in a strange way that showed indifference on her face. "I recommend that you take tubes of food paste, a weapon from the armory and a 616 protective suit.

The 616 protective suit has the ability to survive in space and against radiation, it also contains storage tubes of food paste enough for 60 days of feeding."

Jasper and Dimitri looked at the little girl for a few moments before feeling a small sense of discomfort.

Dimitri scratched her head. "I understand the need for the feeding tubes, but where will we get the water from and why is it necessary to take the 616 protective suit?"

Marta removed the smile from her face and showed a serious face "Suit 616 obtains water from the humidity in the air or from water sources automatically.

With the suit, it is possible to use your urine and water in the excrement for human consumption after special filtration.

The suit is important because the state of the lower levels is completely unknown. Many strange signals are detected.

Also, tests show that your survival with the suit will increase by 40% reaching a 68% chance of survival.

Without the suit, his survivability is only 4.27% because of dangerous situations."

Jasper laughed wryly and sighed before ducking his head, "I guess we don't have a choice, but since it's necessary, we have to eat food paste.

There is nowhere nearby where we can eat something normal. For the last few months, we have only eaten food paste.

At least I want a hamburger or something like that has a different texture than food paste."

Marta turned around and opened the door automatically. "Analyzing... Analyzing... Analyzing...

It is possible to fulfill your request inhabitant Jasper, however we have to walk through this floor of the space station to get to the dining area.

You just have to follow me and under no circumstances try to follow a path other than the one shown by this unit.

The danger in this place exists, and it is not possible to save your life if you do not follow my instructions."

Dimitri and Jasper then began to follow Marta. As they walked, they looked at all the places with some curiosity.

Because somehow they felt that the whole place was too strange, because although it was completely illuminated, the state of the facilities was too deplorable.

"This whole place must have been without maintenance for a few years, and I am worried about the little girl's words.

Well, it's just the two of us in this place, but obviously there were people before or strange creatures. She worries me a lot that she refers to us as humans.

But with the flaws you have in your system or the lack of privileges I think we will not get information from this place."

Jesper who was walking patted Dimitri on the shoulder. "At some point we will find the answer we are looking for because we will end up running much of this space station.

So it shouldn't be difficult to find the information we need, but it all depends on how lucky we are and that Marta doesn't interfere in our search for the truth."

Dimitri narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl with some doubt. "Do you think it's true the fact that if we start investigating we will be in danger?"

Jasper shrugged his shoulders and showed a confused face. "It's impossible to tell, but we don't have much of a choice right now, and I really don't want to risk looking for things in this place.

Although I agree with you that we should only believe some things that Marta tells us, but eventually we will find the truth among all this place.

Now all I want is to eat a hamburger because I refuse too have to eat food paste again.

They may have improved the taste, but the texture is the most horrible thing we've been eating for months."

Dimitri flashed a smile. "Although I highly doubt there is any Soviet food in this place.

I agree with you that anything is better than food paste. That thing shouldn't have been approved in the first place."
