I do not expect you to understand it. However, I think you will happily understand knowing that it is much better off that the Core is not augmented by their own technology.

The last thing you would want is a foe that is ravenous, nonstop in their bloodlust to destroy everything without contest. It wouldn't be very fun to fight without a chance, now would it?

I cannot even recommend you even take the salvage, you do not possess the knowhow on handling without contamination. It is how the Core got themselves into this mess in the first place. Do not bother infecting yourselves.

I believe the AI have no intentions of meddling with the Corsairs, nor is there any need unless the circumstances are forced to. I, myself, have vested interested in keeping tabs on the newly changed Mars. Like men, even they can lose their touch. So to speak.

Ohhh, Fabricius...

To think it is a mere machine, you would be devastatingly wrong. The horrors of the mind are one thing, but the horrors of the physical realm, the body - well...

Perhaps you may see soon enough.

So. How many did you bag?
