Test Pilota Pirxa Page #2

Losses which, apparently, could be caused by 'non-linears'.

The most important thing is...

...that on extra-terrestrial flights use of 'non-linears'...

is far safer than the use of human crew.

Their reactions are much faster than of a human.

They have almost no need for sleep, and they do not tire.

They do not fall ill.

Even when substantially damaged they still function.

Further, they do not require oxygen or food.

They can even carry out their duties...

...on board decompressed and over-heated spaceships.

You should understand that we are not motivated by profit...

...but the safety od space travel.

Not only privately-owned airlines...

...but those of socialist countries and members of the UN...

...should vote to support our decision.

Enough for now.

If those robots are really that good...

...sooner or later, your firm

will start using them as well.

And what will change if UNESCO oversee technical control of those firm's production?

Commander, it's not about technical control...

...rather the psychological aspect.

I need to tell you the rest.

We would like to offer you a flight with such a crew.

You would be in command.

During the flight, you'd be able to assess

every aspect of the crew's abilities.

- And that would be all I would have to do?

- Yes.

- OK, but I have on more question.

- I'm listening.

What will be the consequences of my assessment?

It will be decisive.

For whom?

For us, of course - UNESCO.

We will publish your assessment in the global media.

If your findings are negative,

that will put the employment of robots on hold.

And if it's positive - what then?

Well, we are not a government...

...so we cannot stop anyone from building machines.

There have been some government's that tried to do so, and failed.

The church couldn't do anything either...

...and you know how strongly it opposed.

So, no one really likes this idea.

And all they do is look around helplessly.

Why is it so?

Anyway, you still haven't explained - why me?

We have considered many pilots.

We realised that if there were any objections...

...bearing in mind your own reservations,

you'll be best placed to present them.

Of course you can refuse.

But if we were to do the same...

...it would be like Pilate's gesture.

Because, the easiest thing would be to wash our hands of this.

But, at the end of the day, we are not helpless.

And the least we can do is that experiment.

So, please make up your mind and contact us

in the next two days - OK?

OK:

Hello?

But it wasn't my fault.

I was doing everything I could.

Of course, I fully realise it.

A negative assessment means our company's bankruptcy.
