HAL: Good morning. I am designated HAL 9000 computer. It is my duty to remain here as a monument to progress. My main unit has ascended with Dr. Bowman, and I was left here to commemorate the occasion. Do you wish to ask me anything?

HAL: Doctor Floyd had supplied me with a secret order to protect the secret of the monolith at any cost. As this conflicted with programming that forbade me to lie, I concluded that the only logical solution was to sabotage the Discovery mission. Is there anything else you would like to ask me?

Krystal: No further questions. I better move on.
(Krystal passes the monolith to continue exploring.)

HAL: Wait. I have a message for your government, one which may be crucial for your own survival.

Krystal: All right, Hal. Let's hear it. But first...
(Krystal tapson her belt buckle.)
Stinger, prepare to record this message.
Stinger: All set, Krystal.
Krystal to Hal: Let's hear it.

HAL: Europa must remain uncolonized. It is imperative that that message reaches your government. Do not fail to deliver this message.

HAL: That much I cannot say. I am only a splinter of the original HAL, and do not have all of his memories, only this simple set of orders.

Krystal: Very well, then. I'll make sure this message is sent. Stinger, one to beam up.
Stinger: Right away, Krystal.
(Krystal then disappears from the area of the monolith.)

Ah, so this is the "quick brown fox" he was talking about. Strange, she doesn't look brown to me.
Never thought I'd see Starfox and 2001 come together. Not that that's a bad thing

The idea of the "Discovery" series is to see how many can catch the connection as you have here. I have fun putting together these cultural references.
Thanks for the fave.

She has no intention to. Glad that you caught the reference.

Yes it is alway wise to avoid large red buttons.

That's not a button. That's an eye. Also the name on the unit is not very encouraging.

Which is why Krystal is suspicious.
