Internal Memos

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

Victor,

That's a good point about looping in Crayter. It should've occurred to me, but I'll admit that I've been a bit busy lately. I'll get in contact with them sometime tomorrow or the following day.

As to the Reyes investigation, you're right, I'm not feeling any more comfortable. That is not the conclusion I had expected, and I'm suddenly feeling a lot better about being relocated to Kwinana. I know that Annabella and the other Lovelace units were designed to be creative and act with a great deal of autonomy, but I hadn't expected one to resort to assassinating a traitor unilaterally. This wasn't what we had in mind when we gave them full-right citizenship.

With any other citizen, I'd order an arrest and trial just to make a point, but how do we do that with an AI that's an integral part of our capital city's systems? I don't even know what sort of sanction could be applied short of shutting her down, and given the extenuating circumstances, I hesitate to suggest that. After all, given that Reyes' murder ultimately did us a service, execution wouldn't be on the table for any other citizen.

For now, I'll await Kelly's report. In the meantime, keep this quiet. I would very much like to avoid a general panic.
