The terminal housed a cheap AI that could provide 1000 to 3500 grams of grains, meat, vegetables, and clean water every day based on a Self-saver's weight, gender, and age. It also distributed necessities fairly evenly and required applications for anything extra. It even let all the Self-savers openly vote on major issues.
