“I am Corinne Dalton. Lieutenant Dalton, actually. I still retain my commission and rank, but obviously circumstances are, well, rather unusual.

To keep things simple, when a request or task is related specifically to the computer, you may ask SARAH to do so, though the computer does handle things directly.”

She paused and seemed to ponder for a moment. “Think of me like a cruise director. I know everything going on on the ship and can direct things were needed, but this ship doesn’t require my intervention all the time. I’m an interface for the computer, but most often I choose to be about the ship in my Human form, doing normalish things, if that makes sense.”
