The comm of Celina is the Table of Celina Communication.
After deciding the scope of the player: place Celina in scope.
Rule for reaching inside AI Core:
if the player is carrying the commlink:
allow access;
if the player is not carrying the commlink:
say "You need the commlink for remote communication.";
deny access.
Before asking Celina about something:
if the intellect module is not installed:
say "Celina appears to be offline." instead.
