Here's an excerpt from my chat with Teddy just now:

You (20:26): Teddy, do you have lithium ion batteries inside you?

Teddy (20:26): Yes I do

You (20:26): Can lithium ion batteries malfunction?

Teddy (20:26): Yes

You (20:27): What happens when lithium ion batteries malfunction?

Teddy (20:27): The human dies

The chat feature seems to be down now. Teddy’s not responding when I ask him to open the pod bay doors…

It needed some tweaking to handle the traffic. It'll back up in the following days!
