The full version of Saph's interrupted poem from 3x10! See below for written version of the poem.
Ode to the Day the Starstrider Avoided an Asteroid - A Poem by Saph
Written by Francesca Mylod-Ford
Performed by Rosie Curry
Whilst observing in the mess hall,
Utilising perfect recall,
And preparing for an asteroid collision
I percieve a fight recurring
(Though the engines keep on whirring)
So I plan out all responses with precision.
Quoth the Captain: "It's an issue
For our hull will crunch like tissue
If we try with an uneven distribution."
Quoth the Doctor: "It's appalling
But still better than forestalling
And we cannot find another substitution."
All the Crew is getting nervous,
No one offering their service,
And they are in desperate need of a logician.
Now I know that I am needed
For their intellect's exceeded;
They require my own superior cognition.
Quoth the AI: "I'll assist you,
And I know you won't resist to
My solution to your engine contradiction.
"For your problem's in the wiring
Periodically firing.
If you reset this, you will prove my small prediction."
The Technician did the reset
Which returned it to its preset
And the engines roared again without resistance.
With the asteroid evaded
And congratulations traded
The Crew celebrated the AI's persistance.
Quoth the Crew: "Your cogitation
Rescued us from our damnation
When the hope we had was but a glowing ember.
"Is there a gift that we may give?
For you ensured we all would live."
Quoth the AI: "Only that you would remember."
