All work and no play...

There is an AI on the ship that goes by the name Bender Stack. It only pops up now and again, and now its function may finally be somewhat clear.

"Hey. Hey meatbag!" says a grating voice.

Bender Stack chases people away from work when they've been doing too much of it.

This is why Brainiac 5 leaves the Special Weapons Division and by the time he gets up to the Living Area (having decided to eat anyway if the irritating AI is going to heckle him out of work) he's about at his wit's end.

"--For the last time, I am not going to build you a robot prostitute! You're an AI, not a mechanoid, you couldn't interface with it anyway."

"That's not what I meant, but thanks," Cale replied, glancing up from his work to look at Brainy.

"Didn't you guys say they built a machine that tapped into the ship's controls and hijacked them? Obviously they found a way to make the biological-to-technological bonds work. Why don't we just reverse engineer off of that to make something that will let us monitor everything?"

"Next time, be more specific," Brainy says to the first part.

To the second part, "Again, that's what we're doing. The actual on-board communications system, however, is just as vital. Shouting down the hallways during a crisis situation is getting tiresome and have a dearth of fowl to carry messages, nor any flammable materials to burn to create smoke signals."

"Context, dude. It's called context," Cale replied.


"So what are you using for transmitters?"

Rather than have to explain, Brainy just wordlessly shoves the datapad Cale's way and goes back to work.
