Yeah, read it. Do the CC cast even know they're manned? Having Charlotte smirk upon pounding the pilebunker seem off... unless of course if she doesn't know they're manned, then I guess it's understandable.
As for me, "re-writing Athena" isn't exactly accurate. The way things are going, it's more of a
remake.
EDIT to avoid double-post:
Brief write-up on Athena's primary function, the Cartographer system.
Spoiler for Cartographer:
= Cartographer. A mapping system developed by the Athena AI as a method to map out the universes it explores. The system involves the Athena deploying a very wide, low-power, spherical energy barrier around the unit which serves as a field of energy that will “scan” the silhouette of any celestial object that enters the field and maps them into a miniature, three-dimensional holographic map. The field is also tuned to be hyper-sensitive to gravitation forces, allowing it to determine the orbiting path of planets, moons and other stars if they have any.
Like the Tachyon Phase, the Cartographer also has two modes of operations:
- Roaming Mode, the standard and default mode of the Cartographer which involves the Athena maintaining a very wide spherical field of low-power energy as it roams around freely in space and mapping every planet, moon and star that enters the field.
- Repulse Mode, the alternate mode that causes the Athena to produce a high-power repulsive spherical energy wave akin to that of a three-dimensional sonar. While the Repulse Mode has a much wider scanning range, it also consumes more power in order to maintain the expanding energy field as it scans every celestial body in the unit’s vicinity. Nevertheless, the power output for this scanning mode can be changed according to how wide of an area does the user wish to scan.
Fit for exploring/roaming the space?
