Just a reminder that a system which responds, does not mean anything.
I remember one of the greatest RCs ever, Goran Eriksson RC20, was unresponsive in a hospice terminal with cancer and while he was unresponsive (in a coma) his system happily chugged away until when he passed and caregivers switched-off the machine in the middle of a session ... the eeeriest death of someone I ever witnessed.
There were the systems of Joe Delahaye and Bob Bashe who kept on handling mail after the owners passed, even the one whose name we're not supposed to mention.
The most remarkable case was a guy, I think in the early 90-ies, living by himself everything automated, pension deposited at the bank electronically, all payments for utilities and rent handled electronically. He had been dead for months when they found him ... but the system happily chugged away ...
Maybe the question therefor is not "Are you down?" but "How is it with Gert?"
