“And that is the secret of the Illuminar.  Luma is not an AI, she is a
being that inhabits this ship.  When the inevitable clashes occur, Temas,
I, the Captain, or any of the other senior staff can assist. One thing to
note - Luma feels pain when the ship is repaired or damaged. One of the
tasks we have been working on is a sort of anesthesia. Mr. Torek you will
be assisting Lt. Bohb, our chief engineer with this and Counselor Laredo.
Ensign, as a pilot, you might have occasion to notice that Luma will take
control of the conn from you in an emergency.  Are there any questions so
far?"



Small ones, the pilot thought.  Sure she was short, but the Klingon next to
here was not small at all.  Must be some strange custom of this Luma
character.  Not an AI, and a secret in Star Fleet.



Pihi was quiet as she considered the ramifications and consequences. A
snowflake or a cat-like figure, she wondered if she had stepped down the
rabbit hole.  But her name wasn’t Alice.



“Ma’am, what constitutes an emergency?  It would be rather disconcerting,
and potentially dangerous if I lost control during a complex maneuver that
I was performing. I recognize that a computer can act faster than a humans
reflexes, but I would be worried that it could interrupt the maneuver I was
attempting. It is like a weapons officer trying to take control during an
engagement.”

“Is this available in any of the simulations I have been running to become
more familiar with the ship? If this is a potential, it would be good for
me to understand the parameters of when this Luma might try to take over
the ship helm.”
