Here’s a sample of The Punishment of X-4 by Ken Cosgrove written by Damon Lindelof:

DATE OF INCIDENT: 14 Sagittarius, 2785. LOCATION: Aristophanes Interplanetary Span (“The A Bridge”) CAUSE: Automaton Malfunction.

“Let the transcript reflect the Supervisor cites artificial responsibility.”

“Comrade… you understand that by doing so, The Code requires the presence of an Artificial Intellect for these proceedings?”

“Nephytus, while rich in Gallium, offers a hostile atmosphere and no naturally occurring source of fresh water.”

“The solution seemed obvious… create a commuter colony that would work on Nephytus, but live on Aton.”

“Comrade, in your own words, explain to us the history and function of the Aristophanes Span.”

“The X-4 has a purely binary function. Insert. Or Remove.”
