Price of Evolution

[Occam Razor]

Suddenly the darkness disappears and is replaced with bright lights.
He feels how his eyes adapt to the light intensity. A loud voice arises in his head.
"Welcome back, Cormac."
Cormac directly answers through a thought.
"Hello, Occam. Where am I?"
"You're in Omicron Delta, near Freeport 11, in my body."
"Omicron Delta? Why did you wake me up?"
"I have a mission for you, uploading data to your crystal core"
"I see, what did he answer?"
A holographic screen appears in front of Cormac. A rather old man appears. He starts to speak:
"All right then, gentlemen - if you pardon me in calling you so - I accept the deal. I am looking forward to greet this..."Emissary" of ours along with his equipment and CPU by tomorrow."
Cormac pauses the video.
"Oh, now i understand you send me as 'Emissary'. Sounds like an interesting job... I guess it is another test of my skills."
"It is"
The video continues.
"And also, if you'd be so kind as to send me this AI frequency you are talking about so i could track this probe then I would greatly appreciate it. You have my deepest thanks, gentlemen. Know that I greatly appreciate this favour you are doing me. Have a good day!"
The video goes out and the screen disappears.
"I will give him the frequency?"
"You will. A shuttle with everything you need is ready, I will decloak when you are ready."
"Ah, another pretentious appearancy, right, Occam? Anyways, I am ready"
He walks out of the room into the Shuttle. The Cruiser starts to buzz when the cloak deactivates. In his head Cormac opens a front view of the Cruiser, he looks at a large Corvo Zoner Cruiser with small letters at the Sides identifying it as the 'Evolution'. He generates a video of him sitting in the cockpit of the shuttle and opens a comm channel.
"Hello, Captain Bane. This is Ian Cormac of the Haimen Alliance. I am being sent as emissary. Please deactivate your shield and let me dock with your ship."
He launches the shuttle.
"Occam, can i fly the shuttle myself?" "If you want"
"By the way, the message isn't from yesterday, why didn't you wait a day, like Bane wanted?"
"No further delay of the research of the probe is needed."
"Ah, Ok, let's go then."
Cormac turns the shuttle to the 'Evolution' and starts moving towards it. At one kilometer distance he stops and waits for a reply of the Corvo.
