Which process do you run?

Active Pods in Block

You decide to check your block, A, first to see if any other pods have been triggered. After another series of stutters and an irritating unwillingness to accept your first keypress the system loads the array of pods. What you see on the screen compounds your earlier fears; there is only one pod on the actives list. A3 seems to have also started defrost, but every other capsule is showing as "inactive" or "under maintenance". Something is obviously very wrong, but you are unsure the level of disaster you needed to mitigate. The system indicated pod A3 was still in its sealed phase and the option to finalize the defrost tempted you.

Having a companion could simplify the repair process, whatever it was. Yet, there also remained the question of threat-level to the remaining locked pods. Though if it is something requiring split-second response you doubt the slow system will facilitate the necessary speed in this state.

Which curiosity is more enticing?
