Hi, Dad,
Well, I’ve been here a week and a half, and life aboard theAlexanderis everything and nothing like I expected all at the same time.
Work is so busy. The data they have me crunching are so far beyond anything I’m used to, and for a while there I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water. But Major Wolf has been wonderful in helping me, and I think I’m getting a grip on it all now.
But oh, Dad, working with AIDAN is unbelievable. This thing…God, the intelligence it displays is breathtaking. But it’s almost childlike in some of its simplicities. We had a three-hour conversation yesterday about hope, and it simply couldn’t grasp the concept, except as a 17,000-digit mathematical formula. Which it emailed me. At 4am.
It’s like being an ant working with a giant who refers to itself in the third person. Its devotion is wholly and solely to the safety of theAlexanderand its crew, but at the same time, it feels like the crew are just insects to it and if it wasn’t careful, it could just step on us all by mistake. Thank the stars for the behavior protocols they’ve got on it. I honestly don’t know what it could do if they actually let it off the leash.
But God, I love it here. It’s mind-blowing and exhilarating and terrifying all at once. Wish you could see it.
