"Hello, temporary commander. Please issue your instructions."
A toneless female voice rang out, and Yang Yi looked up.
A translucent female figure had appeared in the center of the main control room, her lower body fading into nothing, her hands held neatly in front of her.
Directly beneath her was the central console, displaying a miniature model of the Shelter floating quietly on the sea.
"An AI?" Yang Yi asked in puzzlement.
"Yes. You may call me Seerte. I am an artificial intelligence program that assists in managing the Shelter," the female projection replied.
"What can you do?" Yang Yi asked.
"Obey and execute your orders, temporary commander."
"Uh..."
Yang Yi felt this AI was a little too terse.
Fortunately, he had experience sailing ships and could roughly tell that this main control room served as the Shelter's helm. Although its form was different, its function was the same.
Without authorization, no player could control another player's ship, and the same applied here.
After a player died, their ship could be captured and dismantled, and its supplies taken, but controlling it was another matter.
On the Shelter, player permissions were divided into fine categories and issued to other players in the form of access cards. Otherwise, just a handful of people could never manage everything.
Yang Yi had no such concerns, since there were only a few of them to begin with. Besides, this ship did not entirely belong to him. He could only control it, not upgrade it or build expansion rooms. All he had was command authority.
He consulted Seerte and obtained the Shelter's detailed stats.
