Under a Starless Sky

Chapter 64

Arne, Shen, Uffe, Erico, Orton, and Jerica were each contained in private cylinders. The floor and ceiling of their individual canisters were illuminated. They could make out some of the ‘floor.’ They could see each other. They could hear each other, as there was a speaker system that allowed that much information to pass between them. Their cells allowed them room to stand, maybe sit in the lotus position, but not escape.

“How is this unharmed?” Orton asked.

“We’re alive,” Jerica said.

“Till they drown us?” Erico asked.

“How do you communicate with the others?” Shen asked.

“I can talk to myself,” Jerica said. “Loxy wants to know if your suit is operational.”

Shen executed an audit. It responded: ‘I am Auto-TL, as her awareness was in the other container at the time of separation. I can remain auto, or go full bright- though doing so could result in divergence and sentience.”

“Stay auto,” Shen said. “This is confusing enough for me. Can you scan the room?”

“Most of the system is offline. Universal translator is still on. Psychic amplifier is offline. My sight is limited to visual spectrum only,” Auto-TL stated.

“Tell Loxy, it is operating below minimum standards. The systems that are working suggest tech was used to shut systems down, leaving me with the bare minimum,” Shen said.
