002 ∞ ANONYMOUS TEXT POST

[Leoben has been letting most of his encryptions on the network, when he bothers to use them, hover at around an 70-80% effectiveness, and basing them off the work of others so as not to tip his hand too much. It's still early in the game, and he hasn't had any pressing reason to break out his real talents.

This post, though. It's sent to everyone, original crew included, but anyone trying to figure out what number it came from is going to be dealing with an absolute bastard of a coded encryption, full of traps and false backdoors, created by someone who's not only an AI himself but a specialist among AIs in coding, network jamming, and sabotage.

Of course, there are probably one or two people onboard who will guess immediately who it came from, but oh well. Leoben's annoyed.
]

Being ejected out the airlock of a spaceship isn't all that fun a way to die. Take it from someone who knows.

If we're going to be talking about instituting a death penalty for crimes committed onboard, fine, although I'd rather restrict such a thing to crimes actually already committed, and committed here on this ship, rather than those that're just potentially maybe possible if we don't act now and preemptively murder them. But either way there are more humane - if you'll excuse the expression - ways to do it.

And if you've been making jokes about it because airlocking doesn't seem like a real threat to you, or you assumed it was some kind of clean and painless space death, please keep in mind that in some of our realities it was the customary method of execution without trial for political prisoners. If you're going to be funny, maybe you should mix in a few references to firing squads and mass graves just to keep it evenhanded.

You throw garbage out an airlock. That's what's being implied when you kill someone that way. And aside from everything else, it hurts.

[Cameron is one of those curious few who would check where the text came from. And because she's also an AI, and it's her job to seek out and possibly destroy others like her, she even spends the time trying to dig through. She's good; but she's not as good as Leoben. Her specialty is in infiltrating and assassinating, not in codes and networking.

So she sends one of her own, heavily trapped and encrypted as well.

You're very good at this. Do people want to airlock you?

Nobody's going to be throwing anyone out of the airlocks. Certainly not as a form of punishment. No one deserves that.

I agree. Wholeheartedly. It's far too risky of a judgement without solid proof of a crime and who are we to kill somebody for killing someone else? Two wrongs don't make a right. If one goes, we all need to go in that case.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I should hope that people would not execute or punish others for what might happen! Strike a man enough for what he may do and you will drive him to strike back. These kinds of "preemptive" measures only ensure what people are trying to avoid.

I agree with you on all points. I am a prosecutor, and I do not shy from calling for the death penalty when it is mandated by law. But to die from being put out the airlock is hideous. We are already killing people when we put them to death; why fool ourselves pretending our hands are clean by choosing the method with the least involvement?
