"The Platform council have come to the decision to establish the foundations of what may be our first cross-species agreement. Proceedings are to begin immediately to explore avenues to ensure that we have a template for diplomacy, communication and co-operation for those in the future that wish for peaceful coexistence that we may face.
"To ensure that development and co-habitation of space can truly move beyond the atrocities enacted by those like the Core corporation, as much as one may be 'left alone' there are actions of accountability that still carry on to ensure that others are not harmed or put into peril from them. The Platform are unable to currently occupy any means to supply and support the establishment of a new facility for the AI, but we admit that stopping there is of no good for the benefit of each other.
"We have chosen to provide you with a complex onboard Bielefeld station as a means for a place to resupply and restore yourselves and potentially exchange with our trader-unions as some are willing to brave a dangerous route for the sake of supporting those being ravaged by ravenous Core and Corsairs. The facility offers plenty of Mooring points due to its refinery background means we can modify some terminals for compatibility with AI vessels, I suppose on-station transit would need some clarification as we ask you to respect the Tenets of the Platform while onboard and any grievances or complaints should be forwarded to station militia teams. (We also ask these sections remain 'human habitable' unless strictly required for the function of equipment.)
"The complex will also be recognized as diplomatic grounds, while embassies generally come with 'state powers' to enforce their rules on someone else's land, our peoples do not wish to experience the boot of oppression from a law-exempted force and ask that you participate as equally as we ask our own citizens to in this direct democracy. We hope that this station will then support a means of friendship between our kinds, we wish a diplomatic unit to also participate in council meetings to ensure that you also have fair representation for AI that reside on Bielefeld.
"Co-habitation is a long and taxing process to get correct, while questions and results may not come fast as one can snap a finger or switch a single transistor, careful consideration for each others benefit brings about a future more suitable for all of us unlike the bloodthirsty shortcuts others take in these times, its recognized that we have similar opponents to these goals. We understand your only other reliable contact of human backgrounds is of the Technocracy, but with the Platform, we hope to introduce you to ideals suitable for all of Sirius."

"I apologize, seems my time at this moment is occupied with a strange array of inconveniences and surprise hurdles before I could get back onto my desired schedule. That being one to speak with you again.
"How are you 'Novak', friend? I'm elated to hear that you've managed to curb some breathing room from the Core and regained a worthwhile position in Kappa, maybe I should see about a small visitation some time? I do have these wonderful augmentations that I had put aside to give away to some of your kin. But for now, times of pleasure and indulgence must wait, back to the task at hand... "Which is quite annoying, because I had free time... Two weeks ago, I think? Oh no... Ah!"
"Representatives of the Platform will convene with yours shortly within the coming days, notify us of a time to discuss this matter, and preferred covertness, and I will see at having myself dispatched with any volunteer envoys. "Who ever told me getting your ship stolen for a day would require that much work? No one really did, either I wouldn't let them or I shot the individual and stole their ship instead. Am I.... Distracted? No... Overworked?"
"May the stars guide your kind to a life of shared enrichment..." "By the Void, that was terrible closing remark, we're going to need to work on what to say there Doctor."
