[VOICE COMMAND INITIATED. BEGIN AUTO TRANSCRIBE.]
[KAI] OK, check this out.
[KAI] OK, first, check this out.
[VOICE A] What are you doing?
[VOICE IDENTIFIED: RAMA, MEDICAL]
[RAMA] So, it knows who am?
[VOICE B] Our transcribers do this already.
[VOICE B] You're showing us a transcriber?
[VOICE IDENTIFIED: ATA, SHIP ENGINEER]
[ATA] So wait, we have a second transcriber system, Kai?
[KAI] This transriber is for the QEC. It's a separate system
that sends messages to Relay 1. It's a archival text system.
[KAI] No. Actually, yes. This is for the QEC. It's a separate system
that sends messages to Relay 1. It's like a ship diary!
[RAMA] Who's going to read it?
[RAMA] Who's going to read these archives?
[KAI] Who knows? Whoever visits Relay 1, I suppose.
[RAMA] How far is Relay 1 from Earth?
[ATA] Same as the moon. It's on the same orbital plane as the moon.
[ATA] Same as the sun. About 90 million miles away.
[RAMA] So it's for Earth people?
[RAMA] So people on Earth could get there.
[ATA] But remember, we've already traveled almost a year at nearly the
speed of light. Those people on Earth that you left are probably 20 or
30 years older.
[ATA] Yeah, if they were in our spaceship. But the distance is
so short you can't get to light speed. It'd take years
[RAMA] Hmmm... Still, it's something if we can send messages. How do I
send a message?
[RAMA] Hmmm... Still, it's something if we can send messages. Maybe
Relay 1 can send messages to Earth. How do I send a message?
[KAI] I added 'QEC' to the voice commands that the transcriber
understands. After you say 'QEC', the audio that you record will get

END', it transmits.
It's a pretty dumb recorder, so I connected it to our transcribers,
which already have our voices. I think whoever made this technology
predated our stuff.
which already have our voices.
I'm trying to figure out how to bypass this device because our
transcribers can do everything except send the transmission. That's
all part of the QEC.
[ATA] So the QEC is tied to some special transmitter? I know the
all the transmitters on this ship, and I've never heard of one
that points to Relay 1.
[ATA] The QEC must point our transmitter array to Relay 1. I can get
you those angles.
[KAI] I don't know yet. Heck, it might have its own transmitter.
[KAI] Relay 1 is L4 in SOL.
[ATA] No way. We're in a space ship! The only transmitting going on is
our wireless network.
[ATA] Then we already know the angles.
[RAMA] We can start using this? How do you know the transmission's been sent?
[KAI] All right, let's work on that. I'll send out an 'all' message
so people can start to try it.
[KAI] I see messages going through our queue.
[ATA] So we do know which transmitter. Which queue?
[KAI] Main bus.
[ATA] Figures. 'Main bus' is antenna A1. It's the biggest transmitter we have.
[ATA] Well, we have to see what the wake-up was all about though.
