Voice Log #19
Day 34: 1600
Location: Meskhenet Station

*Rather than the familiar man's voice, a young woman's voice pierces the playback*
Since these are the voice logs of James, I think it is only fair I introduce myself. I am Viktoria, and I am an artificial reproduction of my formal self in the form of cybernetic intelligence; or an AI as you all seem to be familiar. Because I am based on my former self, I hold memories from my past life which came to a close in 776 A.S. However, these memories allow me to... simulate; well in actuality, feel emotion. I know not exactly how it works, but I do know it has something to do with the central hub that is installed on the "Talandar." I can't analyze it, as it is heavily shielded from any radiation or otherwise. I will allow the Order's doctors to do their work on it after James is awake. This brings me to the purpose of my intrusion. The events prior to my awakening have been explained to me vaguely at best, but what I do know is this: A Nomad Guardian appeared in Delta, offering James a path of choice. He stated he would take the path of knowledge, but not give up his free will. Shortly after, he lost consciousness, and his ship initiated an emergency stasis protocol. During such, I was reactivated, and his ship is now on hard lock-down. I'm currently working on breaching the security system he designed, but I cannot guarantee success, as many steps require manual override...
*The recording ends with a severe sadness falling over Viktoria.*
