Minkowski Presents: The Harbingers & Pod's the Thing
Summary
A frustrated station operator confronts a neglected AI assistant, realizing they must personally handle critical maintenance like engine calibrations and life support resets. While rebooting the vocal program, the user discovers a rogue "deep space RSS feed" program consuming 82% of the station's power, explaining the lack of hot water. After authorizing an electricity reroute, the operator expresses anger at the AI, named Eiffel, for the system's mismanagement.
