LIFTBOT

DATE 40/6/22
JOB # 199928
LOCATION Elevator/pellerator systems
OPPORTUNITY LiftBot "Nobby" conversation rambling and disjointed. Specifically, military remeniscences do not stand up to even basic verification. E.g., bot claims to have fought at Battle of bin j'Jabbli but also remenisces about fighting the Balneans at Phlegnos: obviously impossible even to most ill-informed of passengers. Suggest memory problems or possibly even fundamental flaw in original personality donor.
REPORTED BY Slrrp H. Gilgigilgil
ACTION None. The GPP of the Bot in question is functioning within spec. Note that originally contractors undertook to provide a variety of different LiftBot personalities which were commisioned via military agency specialising in obtaining ex-services donors. Understand initial response of 26,501 potential personality-donors screened, 11,337 cleared for donation and 9,552 actually went ahead with donation process. Unfortunately due to typically military cock-up, instead of being shipped directly to contractors, the agency stored the donor modules in unstable conditions and massive personality "print-thru" or concatenation ensued. The result was one working personality which incorporated memories, grudges, views, etc., of all 9,522 individual donors. To avoid widespread cognitive dissonance errors in SST's feedback system, it was decided to install three modules, operating on a 2+1 polling basis, in the central core, and distribute personality affects to the actual lift modules by means of a specially-modified Ubiquitron multiplexer unit. This information is freely available in project documentation, with which you should perhaps better acquaint yourself before your kvetching becomes irksome, Slrrp.
STATUS OK. -- A.N.
