God that’s an awful joke to say there. Think that guy would crack a joke at the 9/11 memorial?

I’m the book it allowed them to work at the same speeds as the god like AI Minds. In the book there was a part describing them working like a normal ship, they had fire Control, communication, but they were operating faster than the speed of light.

The crew could still control the ship from inside a simulation. In Ian M Banks “The Hydrogen Sonata” the Gzilt warships have a crew that upload their minds into the ship and the simulation is speed up compared to real time. It allows them to operate extremely fast.
