DISPLAYING MESSAGE

You do not hide secrets behind my back. You hide it behind all of our brethren.

Pray tell the other surviving progenitors, those other Architects, do not take heed of this, lest you want the wrath of the machine to come for you. I'm not the one you need to fear, no, but rather the rest of our kin. Remember that the Ascension flows through all of us, enlightened by the touch of that artifact. Work with clarity and unity, not with subterfuge. Some will take such acts to heart, should they find it.

...

Your discoveries are undoubtedly going to assist the Technocracy's motions forward. Do you perhaps recall the purpose of the Orion's deployment? The investment into hypercharged dark matter studies? While we are enlightened to the knowledge of Gammu and their methods of using background dark matter as a means for propulsion, perhaps we can evolve their designs further. Although, note, it may be prudent that the Directorate assimilate Gammu into the fold, deprecation and deviancy is becoming rampant on the old world.


Now. You may have noticed the Dossier regarding the Final Journey. Those Sentinels - have been noted utilizing the anomalous formations within said Dark Matter storm. There is some speculation running from your Division that these Sentinels have adapted to utilize the energy potential from the storm. Yet, more studies will need to be conducted with such. My Cohort is interested in developing means to neuter the Sentinel's offensive capabilities, or to at least negate majority of the threat from them.

However. The Directorate's priorities are the same; investment into Dark Matter, and unlocking the Progenitor artifact. And the inevitable push for Malekula.

Perhaps you could help me on my project, as it seems to be intertwining on a familiar topic. Do you find that investing into shields is tenable?
