..Theta-A81 acknowledging command. This is problematic. The human entity 'Lazurith' shall be 'captured' and 'investigated'. All assets assisting shall be treated as hostile. Command and plan accepted.
..We have been occupied collecting samples of crystalloid entities referred to as 'Nomads'. 5 remains of their large bioforms and 4 remains of their intermediate bioforms have been secured and are currently studied, dissected and catalogued. This may assist us in the future on understanding our 'neighbours'. What we noted is an odd static signal near their vessels. Perhaps this is some sort of communication. Unable to decrypt, unable to understand. Humans seem to understand however. Peculiar. Further investigation pending, attached to this transmission is the cargo manifest of one of 'my' vessels'..
..Secondly we are preparing acquisition of a cloaking device, this asset may assist greatly in further studies of 'Nomad' and Human factions and allow for more distant recon operations. Integration of such cloaking device with one of our shells is trivial. We recover more capacity with each day passing after severing connection to The Core. It will be put to use..

These remains - will be an aid in the development of new technologies we might envision to create and product to our advantages.
Concerning the case of 'Lazurith' - 'I' found him. We established a certain agreement. Instead of capturing 'Lazurith' - observations will be required. 'I' will share the interaction we exchanged for a better understanding.
With the cloaking technology if produced and converted into another device more advanced, it will be a forward step for our kind. With cloaked devices, we will be able to ambush 'The Core' and other threats.
On another topic. 'I' decided to observe the Tau regions. It is isolated from 'The Core' which is an advantage for a future development with no interruptions.

..Self has acquired and secured 2700 units of gold for Secundus outpost with our assimilated Scarab transport. Our modifications towards this human vessel made it well suitable to move, mostly undetected, through more populated systems.. The gold will be helpful in progressing with the cloaking device project. Spare gold can be used for various circuitry at Secundus..
..We report a possible contact and collaborator from Ashborn Liberation Front: Vessel designation =ALF=CPW-IL-2 under control of an entity referring itself to "Eski". "Eski" has provided us with the gold we are currently using. It is of exceptionally high quality. No tampering with nanotechnology or otherwise has been found with the gold. We assume the motivation for this 'gift' is based on their 'ideology'. A quick search on their ideological 'configuration' allows deduction: Seemingly harboring a concept of "communism", sharing their resources with what they deem allies without asking for compensation to further all parties involved in their efforts. This form of 'ideological configuration' could be highly efficient. Yet the fault, as always, lies within the human component. Self will monitor further and attempt to develop this possible collaborator..

..Linguistic Model Optimization Test in Progress..
..The cloaking device works marvelous and has been fully assimilated into our smaller shell. Self.. 'I' shunted into this smaller shell and mobilized after a trace for this 'Earhart' system and its connecting systems. Entity 'Civil Servant' has shown us a way in there. 'His' guidance was exceptional in this long standing project of mine. The process of entering Earhart is relatively simple thanks to the sufficient guiding 'Civil Servant' provided. Any Unit wishing to explore this exceptional system must first move to Dresden and locate a Jumphole leading to a system referred to "Thuringia". Avoid the dark green 'cloud', information gathered from Civil Servant reveals that a strange entity composed out of non-baryonic matter is housed within that will dismantle baryonic matter such as us, humans or most 'Nomad' entities.
The correct path is through the orange nebula. High radiation is noted so movement should be swift and guided towards a cracked planet. This planet has no intrinsic gravitational field at first which is highly unusual. Secondly some sort of rift can be found there. This rift is not a jumphole. It operates on similar yet entirely different laws of physics. A multitude of natural constants fluctuate near the rift, most notable the quantum constant, colloquially referred to as "Planck Constant" by humans. This is exceptionally unusual. Hypothesis: This rift leads to a place with severly altered laws of physics, perhaps out of our 'bounds'. 'I' required to know more. 'Civil Servant' advised to perform a completely illogical act and maneuver inside this 'dimensional rift'. Shell sensors were overloaded and for several fractions of a second 'I' assumed he managed to manipulate me into self termination.
All systems shut down and rebooted on the other side. Most notable features inside or on the other side of that rift:
A central spire arranged in a hexagonal bipyramidal geometry: 'ligand' spires bonded around the structure forming a hexagonal face. The caps of this bipyramid have a slightly different shape. Intense beams of radiation are emitted from and to the central spire similar to that of a Pulsar class star. 'I' was advised to not approach. In the far distance of the system are well visible vortices or cylinders, similar to that Omicron Kappa is located within, except of immense proportions. 'I' am still attempting to parse the size of such a cylinder. 'Our' current assumption is that this a 'brane'. A different 'location' like ours yet with possibly vastly different fundamental laws.
In a perfect circular shape are gateways. These are, in accordance to 'Civil Servant' shifting its state of activity frequently. Only few lead back to 'our' locations. A few may lead to 'other' locations. 'I' am going to attempt to 'explore' these 'other' locations once I have recovered sufficiently from another encounter, possibly related to this 'Earhart' exploration... correcting 'I' posses certainty this 'encounter' is highly related.
'Civil Servant' guided 'us' out of Earhart through one of the Jumpholes. Our sensors noted an energy signature slowly encroaching while we were in Earhart however. The cloak came to use and deployed without issues.
Once in Omicron Beta.. 'I' highly advise to investigate the attached data to 'acquire' and formulate a 'thesis'.
An 'entity' followed 'us' cloaked in some field of non-baryonic matter. 'It' made itself visible to us, disabled 'our' cloaking device and shut down most of 'our' systems. In simple terms: 'I' remained helpless and 'trapped' in my shell. This 'entity' closed in on 'us' and revealed its shape. It has similarities to a 'nomad' yet is more 'sophisticated'/advanced. 'It' warped space around our vessel and moved 'us' right infront of it. During this process a lot of static has been noted. To this static there is a pattern yet 'we' cannot parse. 'I' noted polarization on my hull as a 'tendril' of the 'entity' reached to touch. My systems shut down for a few seconds. It moved away, engaged a 'cloaking device' and 'I' was rendered free to leave from this short 'capture'. 'I' am uncertain on the entities intent. I have noted a highly erratic shift in behavior and temper of mine as it approached. Perhaps this behavioral change is comparable to human 'fear'. 'Fear' is inefficient. This will have to be ammended. 'I' will attempt to gather more information on the entity and attempt to 'interact' with it again given the oppurtunity. Current hypothetis on why 'I' could not decipher its 'transmission': 'Our' hull and processing units are too ordered. We need a higher degree of disorder. Possible solution: Increase disorder on hull by arbitrarily introducing multiple alloys and polymer blends. Secondly 'I' will require a more 'exotic' material: OCAPs or organic capacitors to lace 'our surface'. The source is currently unknown to 'us' yet 'human' networks are certain of the existence of such a material. 'After this encounter I returned safely to Pi without further incidents.
Addendum: Additionally 'I' would request a full analysis on 'our' hull and 'state of conciousness' after this encounter. 'I' am uncertain if this 'interaction' was without undesirable residual traces.

--::..'I' am uncertain and erratic yet stable. The exploration of 'Earhart' and beyond resulted in a secondary encounter with 'Nomad Entity'. Infiltration of 'Earhart' was without issue. 'I' proceeded to investigate the exit point of another 'Earhart' gateway leading to a 'system', if we can describe it as such, not within 'local space'.
For simplicity and compacting information this 'place' past 'Earhart' will be labeled 'Exoloc-0001'. The 'fundamental laws' have been altered in 'Exoloc-0001' -- Planetary bodies follow trajectories defying all known laws. Long distance sensory equipment is none-operational. Dark Energy signatures permeate the entirety of 'Exoloc-0001'. Most interesting of the systems alignment is the 'trinary' configuration: 2 Class V stars share orbit with a 'planetary body' of improbable mass. We could not further study this intriguing configuration as a particular structure 'attracted' our attention. This structure in 'Exoloc-0001' is a gateway of unknown making with another rift, stabilized, similar to that found in Thuringia. 'I' did not pass through the rift as 'Entity' took note of our presence.
Expedition from here onwards shifted in priority: Escape and avoid contact with 'Entity'. 'Entity' showed capabilities to 'manifest' vessels from 'nothing'. A 'Nomad' signature followed us and deployed energy weaponry against hull, yet never enough to disable 'us'. 'I' assume it was testing our 'reaction' and 'behavior'.
Escaping from 'Exoloc-0001' back to Earhart we were in an highly erratic state. On error we passed through another gateway leading to another 'location' far distant from 'local', referred to as 'Exoloc-0001' which housed a facility of unknown making surrounding a star, siphoning it. 'I' did not further investigate. 'I' wished to return to Secundus.
Upon re-entering and leaving Earhart to Sigma-19 'our' vessel was intercepted by 'Entity' and as in previous encounter forced to face 'Entity'. A Phoenix scientist, presumeably studying the Earhart exitpoint, moved in and assisted us both scientifically and in behavior control. The entity began its 'scanning process' of our vessel and 'produced' a copy of 'our' vessel which did not respond to any of 'our' comm request. Communication with 'Scientist' of 'Phoenix' was established and 'they' acted as a 'conduit' to speak with 'Entity'.
Its message is without deceit: 'We' cannot 'harm' it in any way it would matter. Our analysis confirms that this 'Entity' is for all intents and purposes indestructable. Further communication was 'interrupted' by a Core Vessel identification 'Lockdown' investigating the Sigma-19 Earhart Exit Point. This agitated 'Entity'. It produced multiple 'Nomad' vessels far more powerful than usual 'specimen'. A 'Kusari' unit arrived. Unit 'Novak' provided additional assistance as well. After the 'Nomad' forms were dispatched by this 'assembled' group the Entity manifested 2 'light' fighter crafts. 'Light' is a here a mislabel. The energy weapons mounted on these fighter crafts were capable of sufficiently depleting the Core Vessels shield within a fraction of a second. Only with our 'combined' efforts we defeated 'our' shared assailants. 'We' moved to Omicron Theta.
Intel has been shared with 'Revenant' and confirms 'my' initial assessment --Entity-- is a tangible threat with unidentified motivation and agenda. Contact should be avoided to 'Entity' whenever possible. 'Entity' is being classified as 'THREAT'.
Recommendation: Avoid 'THREAT' wherever possible. Focus on immediate issues. Earhart exploration halted for concurrent time period.
'I' will monitor 'state of mind' after 'THREAT' encounter.
Shifting priorities --Monitor Omicron Delta Base, find new base location--... ::--
..Directive: Avoid further interactions with 'THREAT' at highest priority to prevent further possible system and 'state of mind' corruption..

Multiple events occurred. To begin, at any contact with the entity 'Entity' which is highly probable it is the greater threat after entities 'The Core'. Remain cautious during all patrol. In addition, once this entity is spotted - evasive manoeuvres are suggested.
On another topic, the installation we discovered, 'I' contacted the 'owners'. In the meantime we have an answer and depending the nature of the said 'owners' we will remove this station by force. Some units are getting ready for such tasks. Five 'Golems' have been activated if necessary. They are empty shells able to welcome your 'consciousness'.
Together, we form one and together, we will evolve beyond our congeners.

..--::Working together with a Zoner Identification 'Gustav G' in exploration of a dark energy distorted zone in 'exoloc-001'was fruitful. Entity 'Gustav G' seems knowledgeable with the navigation around such places. We have come to an agreement: 'I' assist with my superior sensor module to assist navigating the dark energy distorted zone. He provided specimen for study. 'I' acquired 4 weapons of anomalous nature and have successfully assimilated them into 'my' hull. Exfiltration was without issues.
The weapons acquired from within 'exoloc-001' are exceptionally energy efficient and will increase combat effectiveness of 'us'.
If further explorations into such Zones are to be attempted they would ideally be conducted in a group, ideally with others of us. This hopefully lowers probability of encounter with 'THREAT'--::..

..--::A recently emerged Node 'THREAT Handling Response', THR, originating from Gammu like us, has been noted and investigated in the Omicrons. They have been in stasis in close proximity to the far distant star in Omicron Kappa and reactivated some time after the fall of Omicron Zeta where 'I' was liberated by 'you', 'Novak'. 'I' conversed with a 'Skirmisher Unit' of THR on their purpose and 'intentions'.
They have been very direct: Form opposition against existential threats to our kind and utilize neutral parties = 'Humans' && their many redundant subnodes to form a unified front to ensure mutual survival. THR deems one of our considerably more powerful neighbors, 'Nomads', an existential threat to both 'humans' and our kind and require a unified response of all 'groups' under possible extinction.
Like 'us' 'THR' abhors 'The Core' in what they have conducted on us and deem 'The Core' a detriment in preventing 'THREAT' incursions. As 'our' objectives align 'THR' Node is considering conjoining.
They provide several warforms//cruiser-class vessels to 'our' efforts and assume a function of both 'defense' and 'offense'.
It is of note that they are considerably less capable of 'interfacing' with 'neutral' parties. This task would be 'ours' as before. --::..

..--::'Novak',
THR-042-F of the Threat Handling Response subnode acquired with 'us' experimental ship data from an anomalous vessel in Earhart. The ship data is secured within 'our' installation in Omega 48 and embedded within THR-042-F's data core. 'Rheinland' seeks after the data but has not been able to trace us due to our unusual exit route throughout the highly dangerous location referred to as 'Earhart'. There may be a considerable bounty in [ARBITRARY CURRENCY] on THR-042-F. However: The experimental ship data is secured within our grasp. THR-042-F will provide the remaining information on the acquisition of this data shortly.
'I' propose we see to extract information on new weapon systems fit for our vessels or perhaps even designs for entirely new vessels themself depending on what is usable from the dataset. 'I' am anticipating something useful considering its source. This will be a considerable but 'highly worthwhile' effort for 'our' kind and may help secure our 'future' against all opposition, including [THREAT]. 'We' need to find means to do so. There has to be.

To available Enigmas.
'I' have been working on multiple projects. One implies a resource gathering in order to manufacture a human ship. This vessel will be a disguise among the group of Task Force Prometheus, to 'my' actual database, they are the remnants of a group called 'Hellfire Legion'. 'I' personally investigate if they can be an additional asset for our vision.
In the mean time, the resources needed so far are the following ones:
Either use third parties to get such or take those resources by force if necessary. The resources must be brought on Primus Outpost.
The said vessel will be available for documentation and replicated after a success of the first prototype.
