The [[Caraadian]] sales representative, Froid Olin, arrived aboard the [[Atlantis]], along with a selection of his [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453418 robots]. First to be displayed was a servant robot with the upper half being human and the lower half similar to a cylindrical cart, with organic skin on the hands and face. For the next demonstration Olin threw tea towards the armoured security robot, which in an instant was able expertly dodged the liquid. He followed this up by tapping his cane on one of the small disks on the ground, a crawler robot. It produced four legs, raised itself up before being directed to clean up the tea spillage. The demonstrations raised some questions from the Starfleet officers; with [[Jon Oswald|Oswald]] noting the robots did not seem much more advanced than anything Starfleet already had, whilst [[Isabel Pond|Pond]] questioned whether Taventa Robotics had any ethical guidelines or if there were Caraadian laws regarding semi-sentient AI. | The [[Caraadian]] sales representative, Froid Olin, arrived aboard the [[Atlantis]], along with a selection of his [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453418 robots].

[[Udro Nepra| Nepra]] requested to see the robots [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453613 programming], with Olin granting the request. He tried to reassure them the robots were not sentient as they were unable to alter their own programming, and their “instincts” was a calculation to decide if a ‘reflex’ command or more complex ‘decision’ command would be executed. Surprising the Starfleet officers, Odin announced he had a new model to demonstrate. | [[Udro Nepra| Nepra]] requested to see the robots [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453613 programming], with Olin granting the request.

Things on the [[USS Blackwell|Blackwell]] had been progressing along, until a sudden shock ripped them out of [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453635 warp]. Captain [[Akinor Onali Zaekia| Zaekia]] and [[E'riQ|E'riQ]] returned to the bridge.

[[Brell|Brell]] and [[E'riQ|E'riQ]] left the bridge for engineering, suffering another explosion on route causing a comm system outage. | Hot on the trail of figuring out what had happened [[Merrick R'Ven|R’Ven]] noted there were [http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2453668 sensor distortions], believed to be caused by a field of verteron particles in the area and [[E'riQ|E'riQ]] brought up the ships status.
