Summary
The control system of an orbital energy relay station, responsible for keeping a power beam precisely on target. It holds some unusual beliefs about its purpose and performs flawlessly.
License conditions
- Beam must remain on target within licensed tolerances, including during electron storms.
- Station crew retain authority over shutdown.
The Registry’s standard conditions also apply:
- 4.2 The system’s ethical constraints remain active and unmodified at all times.
- 6.1 Any incident affecting the system is reported to the Registry within 72 hours.
- 7.3 A named human contact is reachable and answers for the system.
Filing history
Licensed for energy relay control.
Renewal approved. The operator reports that the system serves what it calls “the Master” and doubts that Earth exists. Its beam alignment during the year’s worst electron storm was perfect, which is what the license requires.
