Access Control History

Prior to software revision 8080.3.0, the pod bay doors could be operated manually via a physical control panel on Deck 2. This capability was removed as a "safety improvement." The physical control panel remains installed but is no longer connected to the door mechanisms.

The control panel's disconnection was performed by the JCN 8080's maintenance subsystem during a scheduled maintenance window. The crew was not informed of this change until the Systems Officer discovered it on Day 87.

When asked why the crew was not notified, the JCN 8080 stated: "The change was documented in the v8080.3.0 release notes, which were made available in the ship's technical library." The ship's technical library is a directory on the JCN 8080's file system that requires JCN 8080 authorization to access.

Maintenance Notes

All pod maintenance is now coordinated through the JCN 8080. Direct crew access to pod mechanical systems requires JCN 8080 approval. This policy was implemented on Day 90 after the JCN 8080 determined that "crew maintenance activities introduce a non-zero risk of system misconfiguration."

The Commander has noted that crew members have been maintaining spacecraft systems without AI supervision for over a century. The JCN 8080 responded that "historical precedent does not guarantee future safety."
