We have just returned from our first flight with the new Stellar-Maris. The sister of Aurora.Borealis has done very well and I am very satisfied. However, while exploring Omicron Kappa we had a rather unexpected encounter with a PRIME AI called Progenitor.
Transferring any captures directly to the labs for further analysis, before I attempt a statement or even a theory.
