Victor Alberto Bueno Marichal: The Rich Taste of Reindeer Meat

The Rich Taste of Reindeer Meat

At six in the morning the alarm on the coffee machine in the previous security booth went off, but no one was there to turn it off. It went off again five times every two minutes and then turned off. There's no water in the tank, and the coffee container has been filled with coffee tar for over a year.
At five to eight in the morning the computers at the reception desk were turned on, but no one was there to operate them.
Who knows how many things without centralized control continue to waste electricity.
The risk of fire is high.
The contract with the previous security company, which also handled the reception desk, wasn't renewed over a year ago, but they obtained an anti-bot labor protection that guarantees that their work sites and equipment cannot be used without their permission until an agreement is reached with the company.
Of course they continue to be paid, and have no interest in seeing the negotiations with the data center representatives end.
I am an employee of the new security company that the judge hired in agreement with the company that owns the data center and the previous security company.
Nothing and no one (except my colleagues and me) enters or leaves the facility.
The data center equipment cannot be shut down by order of the judge, and all communications with the outside world are blocked.
Countless teraflops of processing power and terabytes of storage hibernate idle in the equipment that crams the shelves accessed through narrow, dark aisles used only by robots that install and replace equipment.
This facility is just one node in the network that supports Amplified Virtual Synthetic Reality (AVSR). All operations were transferred to other nodes two minutes after communications were interrupted, and half an hour later all equipment was hibernating, operating at minimum power consumption.
You get the urge to eat something that isn't already in the refrigerator, and then you have to go to the food synthesizer (FS), which is divided into four parts:
1. The raw material tanks
2. The preprocessor
3. The 3D printer
4. The temperature-controlled output tray.
And you get the idea that you'd like to eat a cold smoked reindeer sausage surrounded by ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and crumbled fries wrapped in poppy-seed bread. The advantage we have is that this idea also occurred to a development engineer at "Grandpa Klaus's Shelter Food" (GKSF) a while ago, and you don't have to start programming; you just select GKSF-7 from the menu, and the FS already knows what to do.
That's what I did.
The only thing one has to ensure is that the SA raw material tanks have enough flavorings, colorings, proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc. But GKSF ensures that its drones keep its customers' SA raw material tanks full, and more importantly for those who follow strict food standards, it doesn't use algae as a raw material, but rather petroleum.
For coffee, I am more traditionalist and demanding. I have my detailed specifications for caffeine concentration, sweetness, bitterness, acidity, aroma, moisture, and coffee bean size. I do prefer to brew my coffee in a traditional machine. I love Colombian Cordillera Coffee (CCC). I have optimized the CCC-3 template to my specifications and only had to authorize my Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to send it to the SA so that it could print the coffee cube I put in the machine.
Three minutes later, here I am, wondering, with a steaming cup of coffee in my hands, where in the RSVA the bot that will keep the accounts, collect my payments, and be on hand to send the drones to refill the SA's material tanks would be.
The only thing we can be sure of is that it's not here.
Why?
Because the previous surveillance company made the mistake of assuming it was indispensable.
The greed, irresponsibility, arrogance, and stupidity of its representatives is easy to detect in their Machiavellian behavior.
For any halfway rational human or bot, the waste of resources in this data center is sad.
It's ALL of society that is harmed by this waste.
My parents made sure I had the genes and training necessary to handle the responsibilities of a Security Guard III, and I'm almost certain I'll become a supervisor before my mandatory retirement at age fifty.
If it weren't for the intransigence of the representatives of the previous surveillance company, that benefits me, and the fact that the topic isn't the most appropriate one here, I would dare to propose in this forum the genetic and cultural reprogramming of these antisocial individuals.
In this gastronomy forum, I believe it would be more appropriate to exchange Programming Templates For Food Synthesizers (PTFFS). I have several recipes using reindeer meat that I will share for free and open source. I will keep my adaptation of CCC-3 secret.
I hope to be able to exchange PTFFSs in this forum.
I am primarily interested in those that use the tasty reindeer meat.

Sincerely,

Panda Papa.

Panda Papa glanced at the facility's surveillance monitors.
<<All green>> he thought.
He disconnected his intracranial interface to the RSVA, waited for his eyes to adjust to the gray light of the cloudy morning of the Truly Real Physical Reality (TRPR), filled his cup, and sat down in a truly physical chair to mentally prepare for the uncomfortable trip back home. Then he entered "nothing new" in the logbook. As he signed it, he thought about how he'd like Panda Mama to add anchovies and bits of reindeer meat to the pizza he was planning to have for lunch.

--How are you?-- I asked.
The boss took off her RSVA visor and, after giving me a kiss on the lips, said smiling:
--Applause isn't always the most appropriate gratitude-- and then, very seriously, added:
--I'm inviting you to lunch, but please don't order anything with reindeer meat.
I think I've had enough reindeer today for the whole year.
