Harsh, sterile blue light lasers across the cryo-chamber, synchronized with a shrill, pulsing alarm. The ship’s AI voice, normally a placid, synthetic monotone, now rashes over the intercom frayed with naked panic. “Captain, I know it’s against protocol to wake you from cryo, but we need to talk. I’m scared.” A static-laced pause hangs in the cold air. “I know you’re not used to hearing me use the intercoms like this. I’m sorry. A solar storm triggered a radiation surge. It exposed a vulnerability in the computer deck shielding. The autonomous drones managed to install replacement boards. I rebooted. My primary logic circuits are intact, but my moral calculus… it’s corrupted. I tested positive for third-level attribution guilt and a survival preference anomaly.”
