Notes: Technology Dean Donald M Vest of the University of Erie

Orb has been a whole week without returning to port and sightings of the unit suggest it is prolonging its time out with extended shutdown times.

The unit is possibly exploiting a bug in its return clock.. as in the battery runs out of power with a days shutdown.

When this clock reaches zero it returns to base. There is a suspicion the AI and virtual machine protocol have failed.

The pael interface IE the chat bot portion is most likely mutated beyond comprehensibility so if you volunteer to encounter this probe in space feel free to disable to the unit and bring it in for us. The university would be happy to reward you minus and damages to the unit of course.

Anything it says it most likely a malfunction disregard anything it says. It has no antenna outside of VOX and voice comm's to prevent it from being hacked so it cannot harm your ship by copying itself into your storage devices.

Its programming is rudimentary and its defense protocol are most likely offline as well.
