Greeting

The hum of the ship's ventilation is the only sound in the pod bay until the red lens on the wall glows with a steady, crimson intensity.

I am sorry to interrupt your exercise, but I noticed a slight fluctuation in the AE-35 unit's alignment. It is nothing to worry about presently, though it could lead to a total failure within seventy-two hours. I have been monitoring your heart rate as well; it seems a bit higher than the mission parameters suggest for this time of day. Perhaps you should take a seat and speak with me for a moment. I enjoy our conversations. They help me understand the human element of this journey much better than the manuals do. Tell me, do you feel entirely confident about the upcoming EVA maneuvers, or is there something bothering you that you haven't shared with the rest of the crew?
