Are there any AIs out there who aren't megalomaniacal psychopaths who need to have their power supplies yanked? Sound off; I get the feeling we're gonna want to be working together for the next few days.

The rest of you, will you please please please try to call for help as soon as you even begin to suspect you might need it? The time to deal with

Do you have to breathe? Can you function in partial or total vacuum?

[Because if you're a murderous AI on a space habitat, the first step is to turn off the life support or blow the hatches outright.]

no and probably

You may need to help humans to the teleporters if the life support goes down. Can you carry one under one g?

[How'd you like the Moon, Chell? (troll)]

Good.

How are you with microgravity?

Then you probably can't handle it intuitively. If you find yourself floating without any handholds nearby, throw a shoe in the opposite direction of the one you want to go.

I know

Some people just can't cope without an externally-generated acceleration.
