"There may also be someone, or a group of people, controlling the station. From what I've seen, the possibility cannot be ruled out," From the information he'd gathered, no one had gained access to the entire station. There was also the possibility that people were controlling things remotely.

"Unfortunately, I am unable to confirm anything about the station's capabilities one way or the other," He apologized, glancing around at the metallic walls around them thoughtfully, "Artificial intelligence and 'awareness' like you may be imagining is unlikely. It is far more likely that simpler programming is in place, a scripted response to a variable check. Something to monitor living conditions, only capable of making scripted adjustments. However, that still leads to the question of who programmed the station and why they made the decisions they did... Or perhaps the original program has become corrupted and is no longer responding in the way that it was designed to. It may have been damaged or altered during one of these experiments that are recorded."
