Entity 'Lazurith' proved 'me' to be a useless asset for us. Consider this human as a nuisance and once you see the vessel - take it down and bring the human as a test subject for 'Theta-A81'. Caution is adviced. If 'Lazurith' is not alone - do not attempt to his capture.
'I' also witnessed entity 'Lazurith' since this one seems to act as a protector toward 'Lazurith' Consider him and 'Technocracy' - as suspicious entities and if they are seen near our bases - redirect them away.

[05.07.2025 21:09:01] A/)-Leviathan: Anyway, I can't say I particularly recall the name or from where. I'd have to dig through my notes for a concrete reminder.

[05.07.2025 21:09:24] Lazurith: Right - I saw his helmet just lying around on one of the levels one day.
[05.07.2025 21:09:25] Crimson.Veil: An AI?.. Silent one, this time...
[05.07.2025 21:10:00] Lazurith: There were some pretty crazy reports from the guy. About a failed containment for some creepy-ass black hell sludge organism -
[05.07.2025 21:10:06] Lazurith: that crashed on Valravn on a particular day.
[05.07.2025 21:10:15] A/)-Leviathan: Ahh, now I remember.
[05.07.2025 21:10:25] Lazurith: He burned the damn thing.

[05.07.2025 21:12:13] Lazurith: Uhm, okay. A bunch of stuff happened lately.
[05.07.2025 21:12:17] Lazurith: Didn't have the time to contact Mao.
[05.07.2025 21:12:33] Lazurith: Or heck, to even report back on a couple of other things I still have hanging out in the air.

[05.07.2025 21:13:15] A/)-Leviathan: Mao?
[05.07.2025 21:13:19] A/)-Leviathan: I recall that one.
[05.07.2025 21:13:23] A/)-Leviathan: The Junker racer, right?
[05.07.2025 21:13:27] Lazurith: That's her, yeah.
[05.07.2025 21:13:48] Lazurith: Raven - and more importantly, Novak - gave me an earful for helping her mount a Gammu manufactured engine.
[05.07.2025 21:13:48] A/)-Leviathan: They were skulking around Invergordon, last I saw. Though that would've been... Five or six months now.

[05.07.2025 21:14:17] Lazurith: I was inebriated, and I saw a question that no one asked, and I wanted to solve it.
[05.07.2025 21:14:37] Lazurith: "Can human tech run AI doodads without the need to corrupt the base software?"

[05.07.2025 21:14:56] Lazurith: The answer, as scuffed as it was, was yes, and I did something that I don't think a lot of people on Sirius did before.
[05.07.2025 21:15:05] Crimson.Veil: O-oh! Okay!
[05.07.2025 21:15:09] A/)-Leviathan: A worthwhile endeavor, but without the correct procedures followed unfortunately. Things like this happen.
[05.07.2025 21:15:30] Crimson.Veil: G-goodbye! Mister Keeper, Lazurith... AI...

[05.07.2025 21:15:40] A/)-Leviathan: Farewell.
[05.07.2025 21:15:41] Lazurith: I really did it just because I could, but I can't say I stopped to think about whether I should have!
[05.07.2025 21:15:50] Lazurith: M'kay, y'all. Take care out there.

[05.07.2025 21:20:35] A/)-Leviathan: It could be. She hasn't been seen in some time.
[05.07.2025 21:20:36] Lazurith: What if, God forbid, she flew into the nearest star?
[05.07.2025 21:20:43] A/)-Leviathan: Maybe she was pulverized on a rock during a test race.
