Summary: tempers flare as communications with the outside break down on the Cogito Ergo Sum, despite Cube's attempts to pacify the humans with coffee
 


"I can't get any signal at all. We're in a total communications blackout."

"Shit, we can't override automatic?"

"The control computer still won't let us in. Says everything's still under control, we'll get to our destination just fine."

"No word from the Captain?"

"Same as usual. 'That's a shame, but please go back to your posts, everything's fine'."

"What the hell is going on here? Is someone intercepting us? This could be an attack!"

"Just calm down, please put that gun away..."

"Get that damn robot away from me then!"

"Cube's just trying to serve you coffee to help you concentrate. That's what he does when he sees a stressed human."

"Well, tell him the coffee tastes like shit here and he's really not helping."

"He's been more helpful than anyone else on this hunk of junk. Why can't the science officer even get the damn computer to co-operate? You're looking kinda suspicious yourself, by the way, pointing your finger at everyone else on board while you've managed to lock your door from everyone..."

"I've got military clearance to be that high security level."

"That's what a trespasser would say."

"Will everyone just calm down and drink their damn coffee?"
