To: Das Wilde, The Oracles

[Emissary]

A disturbing situation? I suppose that depends on perspective, my good friend. Omicrons were always a melting pot. Newcomers will appear occasionally to make their claims larger than themselves, but then they fall under the weight of their ambitions, as it always been the case.

Just the other day I had a chance to converse with an agent-in-training of the ever so belligerent and watchful Order. This young pilot was quite happy to provide details of his first-hand experience with those AI units, and inadvertently details of, shall we say, current diplomatic climate between the rest of the inhabitants. During my stay at Freeport 11 I had met with different people, like the cheerful science-twins E. and S., who were also eager to provide latest news and rumors concerning our tincan neighbors. Not to mention stumbling upon of the smaller module of these AIs to have a closer look.

As for possible appliances the first thing comes to mind are these AIs becoming source of spare parts to expand upon technology that enabled 'Scorpion' drones. Of course there are more ways of making use of them, indirectly as well, like leveraging the shortcomings of diplomatic inconsistency and lack of experience of this newcomer. You see, making others to feel the disruption of balance and eroding the sense of security and power underneath will make certain known parties much less resilient to our tempting offers.

This situation does not disturb the vision but presents new and daring opportunities, Jared. They are steps of the ladder and when you can see it the climb is all there is.
