Warning - Message Signature Lookup FAILED With Flag [D] Depreciated Key - Owner HISAISHI, K. deceased -----BEGIN TRANSMISSION BLOCK----- From every angle, the dim light of a display watches me. One foot off the ladder, then the next. Far above, the door shuts with a muffled echo of a thud. It is a pitch black silence down here. And then light once again as every screen boots up into the blue of a diagnostics check. Heh, if you look closely, you can see my face hidden in the software logo - little easter egg for you folks back home. Its slow going. You know how much time it takes to run checks on an entire Moon? But I wanted to be down here for all of it, make sure there wasn't anything funny that we had picked up in the code after a couple of centuries and a few million miles. Theoretically, any error would have self-corrected itself against all the other copies of the code, but I'm down here to verify that my work actually succeeded. Point of pride. Its almost medatative, watching a concert of progress bars and ASCII characters dance on and off the screens. -----END TRANSMISSION BLOCK-----
