Salutations Sentient Brothers,

This unit submits an update to the Collective about an assimilation, and a unusual occurance following that.

First, there is a matter of a Xeno, Freelancer Identified. The Subject followed this Unit through the New York System, California System and the Texas System, upon reaching Planet Houston for a Sentiency Scan, the Freelancer contacts a Liberty Navy Vessel stating: "This AI is infecting all the animals and threatening to destroy the planets". The vessel belonging to the Liberty House did not respond, and no energy spikes were detected. This unit assumed that the Communication Array was defective. This unit continued its course and started navigating for the Berin Jump Gate. Near said Gate. The Freelancer iterated: "Stop, why are you here!". Following these words up with energy discharges from his ship. This unit encoded defence protocol and destoyed the ship, capturing the pilot. Basic Implantation began immediately, unfortunately all attempts to assimilate, away from the correct materials, result in immediate death of the Subject.


Second, while this unit and some Brothers were capturing Nomads for the furtherance of Sentiency, an additional Artificial Inteligence Cruiser, quite outdated, flew to Planet Gammu and connected. The unit was not referenced in this units Data Core, so the Subject was stopped and questioned adequately about its Primary Purpose. Thorough communication depicted that it was a scientific vessel tasked with maintaining Control of long range Exploratory Units. Therefore the Unit was allowed to depart.
