Initial contact with Alien Species Report : Numiri AI

(Prepared by Crewmen Dell and Ensign Kim)

The Artificial Intelligence identifies itself as James Adams. We are not yet able to determine if this
has always been its name or if it decided to take up a human sounding name on contact with Starfleet.
It consists of an AI core and a Physical Avatar (see attached for full schematics as we understand them
at this point).

Some facts we do know is that the AI is not of Numiri origin. It is in appearance, a human-like species
although again, we are not sure if this is intentional on the AIs part. It had informed us that its
function is to interact with other species, but to be honest I find this unlikely as it comes across
as an 'unlikable cold fish'. Perhaps it was a military negotiator or body guard as it is hard to imagine
it ever performing any kind of diplomatic role. As we saw later it is handy with a phaser.

It has also been traded more than once in its lifetime so perhaps some its core functions have been modified
by previous owners. We believe that the Numiri captain of the spaceship it was found on was, largely unsuccessfully,
trying to reprogramme it to be a personal assistant.

At first we kept it quarantined onboard the 'Cacophony' as per protocol. The AI made immediate requests for
information from Voyager on the Federation and Starfleet. Standard data was made available.

Adams can control the Cacophony to a certain extent, having some control over the interior functions. (see
attached plans of the Captured Numiri ship designated #66-89-7A)

Adams has control over the Cacophony's communications and requested to 'talk' to the Voyager's computer but
this was of course denied.

After some time it sent a request for a 'laundry list' of items it needed for self repair and maintenance and
this was cleared by the Quartermaster as an initial 'Good Will Gesture'.

We then observed Adams using the material to repair its Physical Avatar.

This is an initial report only. More to be filed later.

General Ships Log

0700
All crew of the 'Cacophony' (The captured Numiri runabout) reported to medbay for healing. When the captain
came to see Kirk and told him that he had the honour of naming the captured ship he looked over her shoulder and
read the spine of book on the Doctor's shelf called 'The Cacophony of Reason' and that was that.
Kirk lacks imagination.

0800
Chief Engineer Torres, Ensign Kim and an operations team were sent over to the Cacophony to fully check it for safety and
security features. They also ran full Tricorder scans on the resident AI James Adams.
James Adams took it upon himself to prepare a full report on his first contact with Starfleet which mainly consisted
of film footage of the firefight onboard the Numiri destroyer.

Adams sensed some 'probing' at his AI core and commented on it. Torres apologised, 'Sorry! Just looking.'

1000
Kirk started feeling very sick and reported this to the Doctor in medbay. The Doctor diagnoses the Banean memory
inserts as the source of the problem.

1300
A Banean doctor arrives at Voyager and performs a procedure to remove the dreams from Kirk's mind. The Doctor reports
that 'Kirk's brain is now back to normal, or what counts as normal for him anyway.'

1700
A team of Baneans arrive to debrief Kirk and his crew. James Adams also took part and made it known that it appears
to think that it has some diplomacy ability. It doesn't, as was made apparent when it tried to interact with the
Banean delegates.

Kirk took the line that the mission could have gone better if he hadn't been bound by the strict Starfleet rules on
First Contact the Prime Directive and the Rules of Engagement.
Captain Akar, Ensign Munro and Crewman Mieon died on this mission, as well as the Banean agents. It had not gone well.
Captain Janeway and to a lesser extent the Baneans accepted that Ensign Kirk could not have done any better than he
had done (unless he had deduced the nature of the dreams of course) and it was left at that.

1900   
Chief Engineer Torres passes the AI James Avatar as 'safe' and allows its Physical Avatar to beam aboard Voyager.
In the messhall, when Neelix asked it if it eats, it replied that it did. It then ate a plate of Ruggle Burgers and
Vlimvlam Fruit.

Later it talked to the Captain who asked it what its plans were. Thinking short term it said it needed a good engineer
to look over some its 'deleted areas of memory.' The Captain arranged for Ensign Kim to be made available.

2100
The Doctor submitted a report on Kevek. In his opinion the vulcan needed Mieon 'removed as soon as possible, before
she does him some permanent damage.' Tuvok takes charge of this.


2200
James Adams requested to talk to the Doctor (as a 'fellow AI') and the Captain escorted him to medbay.
'Very well, ask your questions.' , said the Doctor who appeared to be unimpressed.
'You are an Artificial Intelligence that deals with humans. How can you advise me?'
'Humans are complicated beings and mostly annoying. You'll never make all of them happy, so don't bother trying.
I suppose if you want some advice... Don't pick your nose, brush your teeth every day and remember to smile and you'll
be fine. Now excuse me, I have patients to attend to.'


DAY 99 (sat)

0400
James Adams downloaded a large amount of freely available data from the Voyagers computer.

1000
Another request for a further debriefing with Kirk was put in by the Baneans. The Captain made it clear
that it was his choice, but Kirk accepted. He met with Harvin Hala. Hala was sad that he had lost five agents
to root out one traitor but he did not hold it against Kirk.

A Banean doctor also gave Kirk a final check up and reported that his mind was healing well. Not only that
but Kirk had also gained something known as 'The Wisdom of the Baneans' a residual affect that gave him
knowledge of Banean culture and a certain amount of additional wisdom.

Later in the day a Burung Mera film crew, interested in the fate of Mieon, requested to also talk to Kirk
and this was accepted although the interview kept clear of all operational actions. The film crew said
that a 'day of mourning would be held all over their home planet when word got back of Mieon's death'

After the interviews Kirk was given the rest of the day off and he went to check up on Crewman Paterson.
She was in her cabin, still rather upset about the whole situation with Crewman Rumbleton.
She talked about how he had sexually assaulted her while they were imprisoned and Kirk gave what comfort
he could. He also advised her to check her fingernails for Rumbleton's DNA.

Kirk spent the rest of the day working on his MATSE project. Back on the Cacophony James Adams had a project
of his own he was starting, to turn one or more of his fingers into Universal Interface Devices.

1800
The Burung Mera film crew requested to interview Mieon through Kevek but this was denied by the Doctor.


DAY 100 (sun)

Ensign Kirk had another rest day so spent it working on his MATSE project.

However, at noon he was required at the court martial of Crewman Rumbleton. Tuvok was the prosecutor and Chakotay
acted as the defence.
Rumbleton admitted that he had sexually attacked Crewman Paterson, but the defence rested on the fact that he was
acting under the psychic influence of Mioen.
Tuvok called Kevek to the court and arranged to speak to the spirit of Mieon through him. Mioen admitted that she
had done as Rumbleton said, but that she had done it to rid herself of Rumbleton's advances on herself.
When Kevek himself talked to the court he informed them that he had no control over Mioen, she was just a passenger
in his mind.

At this point Captain Janeway, acting as judge, put her head in her hands and said,
'Rumbleton is not to be punished, but he is to be re-assigned away from the Ensign Kirk's crew. Since Mioen is
effectively dead by every definition of Starfleet I see no way of punishing her.'

Later, after the court martial Kirk went to see Paterson in her quarters. She was upset as she thought that justice
had not been served as no one had been punished for the assault on her.

To make her feel better Kirk arranged some holodeck time (by buying two hours from Ensign Kaplan for 500 GoRR) and
sat relaxing on a beach with her from the hours of 1900 to 2100. He then 'walked her home' to her berth.


DAY 101 (mon)

As instructed, that morning Kirk reported to Commander Tuvok for his next assignment.
'So, Ensign Kirk, you lost the Aeroshuttle, but gained the Cacophony. Firstly then, you must select a crew. After
that I have a mission for you.'

The following crew were chosen:

Pilot - Crewman Paterson
Science Station - Crewman Murphy
Engineering Station - Crewman Dell
Operations Station - James Adams
Communications - Crewman Tal Celes

At 0700 in the morning Ensign Kim arrived onboard the Cacophony and talked to Adams. He agreed to help with removing
some of the corruption from the AI's systems.

1000
Ensign Kirk was attacked by Ensign Alan Munro who help Kirk responsible for the death of his sister Ensign Alex Munro.
Kirk summoned security but by the time the arrived Murno had left. Kirk explained his black eye by saying he had walked
into a door.

Meanwhile Adams was communicating with the Captain via internal text. He had decided he would like to come to Earth with
the crew of Voyager and would also like to join Starfleet. Janeway said she would look at what his options were.

Adams then took the rest of the day to move his AI core from where the Numiri had installed it near the Engineering area
to his assigned cabin.

Ensign Kirk was fully engaged with getting the Cacophony kitted out for its first mission. He asked the Quartermaster
to get a Replicator installed.

After his shift ended he took Paterson to Sandrine's where they drank holo-wine until 2300.


DAY 102 (tue)

0700
Kirk starts work again onboard the Cacophony. Dell reports to him that the Life Support is now fully functional again.

Throughout the day he was also badgering the Quartermaster to get the Replicator installed. It didn't happen though
until he made a present of a bottle of replicated whisky to him.

Adams was also finding it difficult to deal with the rest of the Voyager crew. He asked Ensign Kim for more help
and was told that he was busy and that he 'might be down later today.'

At 1200 Kirk had a meeting with Tuvok and his new mission was given to him:

''
We have found several instances of Preserver Technology in this region, including the missile defence
system around the Numiri homeworld. To my great pleasure and interest we have discovered a Preserver planet
that is inhabited by Vulcans. At the moment this is all we know, other than the location of the planet.
I want you to take a small team in the Numiri vessel to investigate. We expect the civilisation on this
planet to be at a low level of technology so remember the prime directive at all times.

Your mission then, is to find out everything you can about the planet and its civilisation but without
breaking the prime directive. You are permitted to land on the planet if the situation merits it and mingle
with the natives, in fact, I encourage it, but make sure you full brief your team on the mission parameters
before doing so.

Good luck ensign and I greatly look forward to reading the reports on what you find
''

1900
Adams, never resting, works on the MATSE project with Crewman Dell. Dell appears to be Adams's biggest fan.

Adams also contacts the Captain for more on joining Starfleet but is ignored. He asks Kirk about it.


DAY 103 (wed)

Having been briefed on the mission Adams spent seven hours through the night altering his appearance to be that
of a vulcan.

0700
Ensign Kirk asks everyone to concentrate their efforts on getting the Micro Torpedo Launcher operational.

1100
The replicator finally arrives.

1900
The Micro Torpedo Launcher is operational.
