DISPLAYING MESSAGE

---

Good evening, Friend.

You are as swift as the wind. The Grouse will be around later in the evening to pick up all the samples. We can then talk about the payment for it.

The shots of the drone, the red lights. It is the first time I am seeing this and I have to tell you that I am highly concerned. I can't even imagine what they did to them. For that, I would need to actively study those samples. Part of what I do is fixing and helping AI's to develop. However, my time schedule is packed at the moment with other duties.

I will open the frequency for Leviathan. See you soon, friend.
