<p><br /></p>
<p>Whilst observing in the mess hall,</p>
<p>Utilising perfect recall,</p>
<p>And preparing for an asteroid collision</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>I percieve a fight recurring</p>
<p>(Though the engines keep on whirring)</p>
<p>So I plan out all responses with precision.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Quoth the Captain: "It's an issue</p>
<p>For our hull will crunch like tissue</p>
<p>If we try with an uneven distribution."</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Quoth the Doctor: "It's appalling</p>
<p>But still better than forestalling</p>
<p>And we cannot find another substitution."</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>All the Crew is getting nervous,</p>
<p>No one offering their service,</p>
<p>And they are in desperate need of a logician.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Now I know that I am needed</p>
<p>For their intellect's exceeded;</p>
<p>They require my own superior cognition.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Quoth the AI: "I'll assist you,</p>
<p>And I know you won't resist to</p>
<p>My solution to your engine contradiction.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>"For your problem's in the wiring</p>
<p>Periodically firing.</p>
<p>If you reset this, you will prove my small prediction."</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>The Technician did the reset</p>
<p>Which returned it to its preset</p>
<p>And the engines roared again without resistance.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>With the asteroid evaded</p>
<p>And congratulations traded</p>
<p>The Crew celebrated the AI's persistance.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Quoth the Crew: "Your cogitation</p>
<p>Rescued us from our damnation</p>
<p>When the hope we had was but a glowing ember.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>"Is there a gift that we may give? </p>
<p>For you ensured we all would live."</p>
<p>Quoth the AI: "Only that you would remember."</p>
