What do you have to say?: So apparently our expertise is needed here, since Alessa threw in our project in her transmission.
We did have encounters with prvious instances of sentient artificial intelligence and had the chance to gather quite a bit of knowledge from that, as well as applying their way of engineering into our own research to an extent. I won't bore you with details, so here is what we know: The previous instance - the one we had the most contact with - seems to have gone offline with a few units roaming around the Omicrons without direction.
As of now there seem to be two new major instances. While we didn't have any mentionable encounters with the one known as the "Gammu AI", we did have quite the unfortunate first encounter with the one known as "The Collective". They seem hellbent on mechanizing everything living and defending Omicron Kappa from everyone they consider an intruder - in this case we were those intruders. This information is sourced from both our own research and interactions with an AI unit from the old PRIME collective that seeks to be integrated into the Collective.
In my oppinion staying out of Kappa would be an easy fix to the problem, but actively communicating with them might be an option. If anyone encounters them in the near future and is actually able to set up a meeting we will gladly attend. The same counts for us of course. We are still in the process of researching them, but if there is a chance for negotiation we will let you guys know.
