OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Attend to PDA voice, or invoke full-screen interface to read (as you are doing now). Check all PDA tabs to ensure you understand their function.
BACKGROUND The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a cybernetic augment to the customer's consciousness. It tracks and sorts the user's vital signs, possessions, information and fabricator blueprints.
The PDA holds the sum total of human knowledge in a compressed quartz archive. It synthesizes this knowledge with scans you gather to generate databank entries on unknown species and phenomena. These databank entries can be the difference between life and death — for you or for your entire colony.
Remember the acronyms: —ABC: Always Be Checking —BLR: Be Like Ryley
If you're lost or confused, review your PDA. Remember that Ryley Robinson's PDA and scanner brought him home safely in the face of unforeseen and catastrophic hazards. If a non-essential systems maintenance chief can trust his PDA that completely, so can you.
