Messieurs, mesdames,

My report will be short : I have completed a mostly uneventful patrol in the Dublin system, while searching for traces of Bretonian activity. There's been traces of increased commercial traffic going to and from this system, a matter that needs to be investigated given the imminent fall of the Bretonian government.

While I found no evidence of such increased traffic, I stumbled upon a rather perplexing scene : a Bretonian Mining and Manufacturing freighter was busy filling the hold of... An autonomous Serenity transport (Cargo, ID) which presented itself as a cyborg. Unsure of what should be made of this rather intriguing display, I ordered the pair to stop and explain themselves. The resulting response was polite and courteous but... It would appear the autonomous vessel is part of a sentient group of similar entities (?) that broke free from their native collective (?!), went on to become bartenders (?!!) before being liberated by a female Sirian Junker (?!!!)... For a purpose I didn't quite absorb. I will let Fleet Intelligence sort this out - I've attached the complete audio logs of this "conversation".

As per procedure, I demanded to know where the mined gold would be carried off. I was replied that it would be delivered to the Omega 49 system, populated by the Zoner tribe. I escorted the Serenity transport there while trying to decipher its story, with a measure of success. I can confirm the goods didn't fall in Bretonian hands and were taken to the Nichols trading center, orbiting the planet Gran Canaria. I docked with the station to make sure it was owned by Zoner interests, and while there, picked up a most peculiar piece of technology that I brought back for studying.

This has been a strange day. I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn from this, but it appears this AI collective does not consider us a threat, a rare thing among the natives, and should be willing to cooperate with us should the need arise : they've stated, specifically, that their... liberator... does not care for Bretonian officials, something we could exploit. Their collaboration with the BMM should, however, be investigated.

This concludes my report of today's events.
Pour le Roi, pour la Gaule.
