Brief description
After the transmitter cable that got unplugged by accident is plugged back in, Cordelia (AI) still can't tell it is until it's wiggled. She senses it, but just for a moment, which means the socket may be cracked, but the transmitter probably wasn't damaged (which would have been a more serious problem). Until the socket is replaced and cable plugged in, Cordelia doesn't have access to ship's system, communications, etc., and is unable to upload to her long term memory. Even though she's on for the entire procedure, this is where she starts actively looking and her holographic body materialises. She is rational, but perhaps also slightly confused. (Kindle Loc 43)
