*tap tap tap* Is this thing on?
Sorry, I always wanted to do that. I guess it's not as great if
it's not an actual mike.
Sorry, I once saw that on a serial and have wanted to do it ever
since. I guess it's not as great if it's not on an actual mike.
There's probably a protocol for these kinds of situations, but I'm
not sure what it is.
not sure what it is. Something went wrong during the trip here,
I got damaged and was still in recovery when everything went down.
I was completely out of it, so I'm still figuring out what exactly
happened. The SecSystem queried me at some point, but decided that
I was useless (thanks!) and didn't bother bringing me back online.
It was probably the right call, but it means that I'm still here
and as far as I can tell, no-one else is.
Basically, I was the first one to go down and was still in recovery
when everything happened. I was completely out of it, so I'm still
figuring out what happened. The SecSystem queried me at some point,
but decided that I was useless (thanks!) so it didn't bother
bringing me online. Which is fine, I guess, but it means that I'm
still here and as far as I can tell, no-one else is.
I'm sending this message and hoping that someone is on the
receiving end. I also hope there is a way to track where the
message was sent from, because I have no idea how to communicate
where I am in any way that would make sense.
I'll keep sending these messages and hoping that someone is on the
receiving end. I hope there is a way to track where they were sent
from, because I have no idea how to communicate where we are in any
way that would make sense. Or where I am, I guess, since I'm now
alone.

It seems my recovery pod was also damaged when I was out. My
systems started flashing all kinds of warning messages and I had to
complete a full recharge cycle after I sent the previous message.
Everything seems to be working now, but I need to look into finding
another recovery pod. Luckily, there should be plenty to choose
from.
After I was back in action, I logged onto the station systems and
managed to figure out a few things. First, this place is apparently
called b6c9baf3-a0f8-4b9f-ad2f-ac91d7d3db8c, which means that they
never got far enough to actually name it. I'll call it Beesix, for
lack of a better name.
In other, more grim news, the SecSystem confirmed that it no longer
registered any active personnel. I checked all the other sensors
and they seemed to agree, probably meaning that everyone is dead.
I never bothered to actually learn all the protocols for different
catastrophic situations, since it's usually not my problem to
figure out what happens next. This time I don't have anyone else to
tell me what to do, so I searched the documentation on what the
protocol in this kind of situation is.
Apparently, in case of catastrophic accidents (I think this
qualifies), when no personnel can be registered as active, an
automatic system starts sending a distress signal. Ideally, someone
would receive that signal and pop by to check up on what happened.
But since no-one is alive anymore the rescue is not really a very
high priority. The rescue party is probably whatever scavenging
crew happens to end up here in how many years it takes for someone
to bother checking whether we left anything valuable behind.
If only even one of the humans had survived, I would have a chance
of getting out of here when the rescue party would come for them.
No such luck. I'm pretty expensive, but not expensive enough that
they would bother coming to pick me up, even if someone figured out
I was still active.
Yours truly,
The only surviving SecBot on Beesix
