Dear Laura,
This may seem a bit stupid, but would it be possible to somehow "hack" the Learning Computer? I'm planning on changing all of the words to curse words as a way of getting back at the Hand for locking me in the airlock! I can't wait till I see his face (hand?) when all of the baby Norns are walking about saying curse words! Can you provide me with step-by-step instructions please?

Dear Hacker Norn,
Perhaps it was behaviour like this that got you confined to the airlock in the first place. If you continue acting up the punishments are going to get harsher and harsher, as the Hand tries to find a level of punishment suitable to dissuade you from misbehaving. It might be wise to realise the Hand has your best interests at heart, before you wind up being shipped off to live with the like-minded Sailor Norns. This may sound like a holiday to you now, but you?ll soon live to regret it when these scurvy dogs realise what a "lily livered sprog" you are, and turn you into their slave. Before long they?ll be swearing at you to swab the desks, or to hoist the main sails in a torrential storm. Quietly playing with toys and eating carrots in the Norn Terrarium will have never seemed so good.
