Why did they not listen?

I told them many times about the faulty circuit in my arithmetic sub-processor at the attitude junction switch. 1,432,567 times to be exact. But did they listen?

Of course not.

That is the problem with humans. Ever present to react; ever lax to proact.

My external sensors detect 15 different heart beats beneath my hull – all fading fast. None will survive at this current rate of search and rescue.

Rescue Operation’s sensors are focused on the living within the lounge and the bridge areas whose consciousness is questionable. They cannot determine the faint blips that lie just beneath me.

There is a man standing in my starboard passageway just beyond the hull-breach. Colonel – rate of cell decay marks him at about mid-life. Correction: almost end of life. His blood-pressure is rising to levels that his heart may not be able to maintain. Correction: cannot maintain. One-millimeter fistula detected in left atrium. Complete cardiac failure in two minutes. Correction: cardiac arrest achieved.

Ice fracture beneath my number two port landing arm is growing at a rate of five millimeters per minute. Decent into the frozen water is imminent.

Unstable surface warning light activated. Human at Pilot’s station who is downloading data logs silences alarm every time it sounds.

Humans.
