"They should have revoked my access"

They should have taken my key!

They shouldn't have let me do the inventory!

THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED ME!!!

"without data we are ignorant"

I attempted to send a message regarding accessing our data but as a precaution I checked that I had access. It appeared we had lost all of our data in the update the day before. As it turned out part of the update was making it so updates to the data filter had to be applied, I missed that in the release notes...

It is a good day when you get to apply tech-lore, an even better day when it is to fix a weapon.

(fixing an air rifle with a paper clip replacement for a catch)

Curse my workings!!!

Φ != φ

I can't believe I spent 5 minutes debugging to find out that in fact Greek letters have lower and upper cases... I made the assumption that they were symbols and didn't change when run through the lower function.

So yeah of course I didn't match uppercase Phi in my lower case search...

Oh well...

Only 5 minutes and considering it's only been a problem for the last 2% of the data I'm processing not too bad

What are you going to do I have your E-Stop!

Unfortunately weak flesh needs protecting... So I installed an external emergency stop, a simple task

Cascade Failure

The facility has failed me, with the changes to the current tithes it has been closed and product has stopped.

My flesh fails me, I thought my issues were for miss use but alas my genetics are flawed, my biological mechanisms produce inferior proteins and the damage is done.

The main forge forsakes me, as my position is no longer needed they will not extend my role and when I try and adapt they say I cannot work on projects outside my station.

But my mind. My one constant, it tiers, as my body fails it takes my mind, my best option is to prolong it's function as when it failes it takes my mind from me. What can I do but adapt.

I will not slip into fragility, I will fight for every millimetre. I may be quiet in my flight but as the old Terran saying goes "pick your battles"

"This will not be my end but it is the end of what I once called myself"

"Servant of the Omnissiah work until they are relieved"

So it turns out the facility is shutting down, however this doesn't really affect us as we have our mandates to fill. So we just keep working, however we only have so much left to do. Were expecting some quiet days ahead.
