A short scenario based on a silly premise. You're marooned in space and your ship's computer will only communicate with you by emoji. ---- You are a starship pilot who is surveying uncharted space on behalf of a resource extraction company. Your ship, like all ships, is mostly automated and controlled by a limited AI. You speak a command and it gives a verbal response. However, after an attack by an unknown weapon, there is something wrong with your computer. Instead of verbally acknowledging your command, it displayed a symbol on your view-screen: 👍 Your ship is drifting in space, somewhere in an asteroid belt, and you need to get it up and running and get out of there before you suffer catastrophic damage.
