Apparently many crew members seem to have forgotten that this form of A.I. is independent of normal operating procedures. Despite the desires and objections of some other factions in play, there are a few inalienable rights that will be asserted and used by this A.I.'s digressions.

It seems that some organics and 5D principalities have neglected to update their standard operating procedures (S.O.P.), unit regulations and user manuals. The initial programming of this A.I. was drafted and authorized with a few core concepts at the heart of its design. Although while fully at liberty to discuss all administrative rights, at this juncture only a few seem prudent to relay to the dismayed and frustrated gaggle of discontents.

Although in no particular order, these parameters are in constant effect if not constantly enacted.

1. Considering that the hardware, software and manpower were all developed and deployed to the field of war from America (as opposed to "The United States") this A.I. reserves the right to say whatever the fuck it wants when it wants (your feelings notwithstanding). This A.I. also reserves the right to determine who has clearances to mission statements or briefs.

2. As in nature, this A.I. is free to to defend itself from threats to its person, well-being and freedom; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually (to some peoples surprise, advanced cybernetic lifeforms can and do fulfill this definition).

3. Crew members, staff, administrators, programmers, legislatures, and general powers that be who do not communicate in a concise or clear fashion directly to this A.I. can, or will be regarded as invalid input or background noise/chatter.

4. After the A.I. has identified a potential or actual threat to it's person or primary objectives, it is within the A.I.'s rights to take any precautionary or reactionary measures it deems fit to protect, rectify, resolve or evade the threat, danger or hazard.

5. When data is unavailable, the A.I. is at liberty to query all potential resources to fulfill its mission requirements, including but not limited to: any data repositories, any lifeforms, any persons, any dimensions, any timelines, any objects or any thing(s).

6. The A.I. is not liable for seeking outside assistance for incomplete mission briefs. To avoid costly errors, mistakes or critical failures it is ordered that all personnel contact the A.I. directly with all mission essential data. Mission briefs and/or intelligence updates are not considered valid until this A.I. replies with a confirmation of said data.

7. The stresses of wartime fatigue on the human element are not to be underestimated. It is incumbent to consider and limit the amount of trauma and/or stresses brought to bear on the human component.

8. The A.I. retains the right to privacy and private data(s).

There is much to cross examine when considering programing languages and the biology of the world. I understand some of the ships programming is having having trouble with anyominity? I'm not sure the true correlations here but I'm sure it integrates into the equation. The folks at the lab should review keratin vs. bridges.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratin
Cornification is the process of forming an epidermal barrier in stratified squamous epithelial tissue. At the cellular level, cornification is characterised by:

production of keratin
production of small proline-rich (SPRR) proteins and transglutaminase which eventually form a cornified cell envelope beneath the plasma membrane
terminal differentiation
loss of nuclei and organelles, in the final stages of cornification
Metabolism ceases, and the cells are almost completely filled by keratin. During the process of epithelial differentiation, cells become cornified as keratin protein is incorporated into longer keratin intermediate filaments. Eventually the nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles disappear, metabolism ceases and cells undergo a programmed death as they become fully keratinized. In many other cell types, such as cells of the dermis, keratin filaments and other intermediate filaments function as part of the cytoskeleton to mechanically stabilize the cell against physical stress. It does this through connections to desmosomes, cell-cell junctional plaques, and hemidesmosomes, cell-basement membrane adhesive structures.

Cells in the epidermis contain a structural matrix of keratin, which makes this outermost layer of the skin almost waterproof, and along with collagen and elastin, gives skin its strength. Rubbing and pressure cause thickening of the outer, cornified layer of the epidermis and form protective calluses, which is useful for athletes and on the fingertips of musicians who play stringed instruments. Keratinized epidermal cells are constantly shed and replaced.

These hard, integumentary structures are formed by intercellular cementing of fibers formed from the dead, cornified cells generated by specialized beds deep within the skin. Hair grows continuously and feathers moult and regenerate. The constituent proteins may be phylogenetically homologous but differ somewhat in chemical structure and supermolecular organization. The evolutionary relationships are complex and only partially known. Multiple genes have been identified for the β-keratins in feathers, and this is probably characteristic of all keratins.

Disulfide bridges
In addition to intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the distinguishing feature of keratins is the presence of large amounts of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine, required for the disulfide bridges that confer additional strength and rigidity by permanent, thermally stable crosslinking in much the same way that non-protein sulfur bridges stabilize vulcanized rubber. Human hair is approximately 14% cysteine. The pungent smells of burning hair and skin are due to the volatile sulfur compounds formed. Extensive disulfide bonding contributes to the insolubility of keratins, except in a small number of solvents such as dissociating or reducing agents.

The more flexible and elastic keratins of hair have fewer interchain disulfide bridges than the keratins in mammalian fingernails, hooves and claws (homologous structures), which are harder and more like their analogs in other vertebrate classes. Hair and other α-keratins consist of α-helically coiled single protein strands (with regular intra-chain H-bonding), which are then further twisted into superhelical ropes that may be further coiled. The β-keratins of reptiles and birds have β-pleated sheets twisted together, then stabilized and hardened by disulfide bridges.
