Communication Guidelines

Summary:

Living on a spaceship with two bickering superintelligent artificial beings (one of which IS the spaceship) is not an easy thing.
Seth sends a memo about some ground rules.

Notes:

I tried very, very hard to post this as a fun text message template image I made, but Ao3 hates me.

Perihelion Crew Feed (General):

Today, 1203 Hours


CaptainSeth: Good morning, all!

CaptainSeth: It's come to my attention that we're experiencing some discord with communication styles. We have a lot of easy options available: feed messaging, comms, and Peri's internal intercoms are all accessible for both public and private conversations. With that in mind, I'd like to remind everyone to avoid methods of communication that may be distracting or disruptive to others. These include, but are not limited to:

- Tampering with interior lighting levels

- Altering ambient noise sources to produce Morse code messages during quiet hours

- Commandeering communal display surfaces to play media clips or GIFs on repeat

- Using drone clouds to spell out profanity*

 

CaptainSeth: *Please note that I have no concern about this option during normal crew operations. However, I would appreciate it if all parties would avoid it while students are onboard.

CaptainSeth: Thank you for your kind cooperation.
