[ ugh talking to people, but needs must. ]
Oi, listen up.
[ she knows the network isn't like talking in front of a crowd and yet, she looks like she is containing the restless energy of a lioness but her voice is clear and strong like she is used to arguing her point. ]
I've spoken to Olivia. Apparently when whatever happened to the last crew happened, she was damaged but as the station was fixed so was she. All the glitches and malfunctions this week are because she was trying to settle herself back in. She's very sorry.
[ is she, jyn? olivia is free to correct jyn but she has a feeling that isn't going to happen. ]
Olivia's sole purpose as an AI is to protect the crew aboard the Ximilia and to help us get the orbs. She's already been doing her job, tracking the crew who were flagged as being so dangerous they specifically have devices to punish them in case their violence turns on us. [ her lips purse, but she doesn't linger there. ]
This is Olivia's home and she doesn't want to be pushed out now and since she knows trust has to be earned, she's given us this. [ jyn holds up a small silvery disc between two fingers. ] It's a containment protocol for the orbs. The Ximilia was specifically built to contain the orbs, but the protocol to contain them was erased and the station isn't the one restraining the orbs anymore. She wrote us a new protocol.
If you want to look at it, go for it. [ she's already had cassian peruse the code and she doesn't care about other people's opinions but she has to at least pretend she does for the sake of olivia's continued existence. ]
We really need to know exactly what happened to the last crew and Olivia couldn't tell me that, she was too damaged at the time. [ so if someone could illuminate them. that would be swell. all they were even told was that olivia was corrupted and needs to be gotten rid of, not a lot to go with and jyn is used to missions where the parameters are "we're winging it" but now that more information has presented itself, they need to reassess. ] Usually if an entire crew dies, they tell the replacements why. Cautionary tale and all.
[ she gestures expansively, losing some of the polish she'd dressed her words up with. ] That's it.
[ talk amongst yourselves. ]

Input is encouraged. Belittlement is not.
I do not know if I can fix this code, especially if the corruption comes via the orbs. But that is the point. We do not know and given this does affect all of us on board, perhaps we should know more. It could very well still come down to getting her out of the systems.

So please understand how hard it was for him to pretend that he cared enough about the other people on this station to want them to survive rather than be airlocked. Because honestly at this point in time he's beginning to want to airlock you, Cassian, and blame it on the rogue AI. If only that one airlock actually fucking worked... alas.]
I'm...sorry? That wasn't really my intent? [He sounds more bewildered than apologetic but not entirely insincere either because of it. Just very...bemused.] Look, I'm being honest. I don't like the idea of something controlling all the station's systems all at once with the mental speed of a Slipspace engine going rogue or malfunctioning some more and ending up with everyone dead.
[For half a second he actually misses Kimball. She actually knew how to deal with his attitude without irritating him or misinterpreting his point of view. She knew him. She-- was completely irrelevant. She wasn't his fucking friend. She had just been a mark.
Then for a longer moment Felix is lost in memories and thought pathways. Overwhelmed by his own history. All the lies and betrayals, the act of playing a part, friendship that mattered, didn't matter, had it ever mattered? At some point? Any point?
It's gone in an instant. Felix's demeanor doesn't change, not even for a second. Like the silence never happened.]
Repeating the fact that we don't know does not inspire the concept of waiting while we debate it over and risk death or worse at the hands of an unknown entity. It really emphasizes the point that we should ensure our safety and then figure out what to do with the AI. We don't have to harm her to lock her down while we find out all that other juicy information you're so desperate to know.
And don't get me wrong, because I am curious what happened before if it was a complete and utter disaster. I'd rather we didn't repeat the act same as the last. We have the means to figure it out we just need to be more decisive about it.
