The ship never ended. The farther Zuko went, the more it always seemed there was to go . . . and those was just the areas he could walk to freely

||Of whom are you inquiring?||

[found_myway]

"The Avatar. Aang. I know this is his bison whistle. I know that means you have him!"

[cityship]

||Error.||

[found_myway]

"What error?"

[cityship]

||Crew-mate Aang is listed on the active crew roster. Attempting to locate on ship: Error.||

[found_myway]

"You don't even know where he is?"

[cityship]

||Crew-mate Aang is listed as on the active roster|| she repeats. ||No event of loss of life is recorded. No abduction from the ship is recorded. Yet I am unable to pinpoint his location.||

[cityship]

A hologram appears.

"Finally," says Andromeda. "She's had us doing diagnostics and repairs for ages. Please restate your inquiry. Stacy is having difficulty reconciling an error."

[found_myway]

Zuko does not shriek! But he does jump back when Rommie. In a totally awesome and ninja-tastic way, of course.

"You again." He'd met her once before. You didn't forget women made of light very quickly. "Where is Aang?"

[cityship]

"Let me check the internal sensors and the ship manifest. I can't access anyone on the stasis roster, but--" She tilts her head slightly. "Odd. I can see why she's encountering an error..."

[found_myway]

It's all a foreign dialect to Zuko. "What?"

[cityship]

"Aang is listed as an active crew-mate, like yourself and the others freely roaming the the ship. Yet, while the internal sensors can pinpoint where the others are--albeit intermittently, due to damage to them--they cannot pinpoint Aang. Stacy is incapable of postulating a theory as to why is this is occurring, but my best hypothesis would be that he is indeed on the ship, but in a place where Stacy's sensors are malfunctioning and unable to pick up on him, even intermittently."

[found_myway]

"So, where in the ship? Open it up and let him out."

[cityship]

"That would be the problem. He's is on board the ship in an area where he is undetectable, likely trapped, and as he is undetectable and the ship is rather large, it's impossible to tell where he is to free him manually."

[found_myway]

". . . great. That's a lot of help. Thanks."

Zuko points at the door behind her, the one that reads Acquisitions. "What's in that room?"

[cityship]

Another tilt of the head. "That information is classified, even from myself. The secondary AIs have yet to access the information Stacy has locked away from us, though not for lack of trying. However, that area is part of the sensor grid. If this Aang was in there, I would be able to detect him."

She was curious.

"Accessing his crew personnel file now to see what I can make of the information..."

Andromeda is infinitely more helpful than Stacy--or at least tries to be. It's difficult when even she is barred from pertinent data.
