Theta, thank you for reaching out. I'm glad you're safe.

There is no answer I can provide that'll mitigate the risks involved in all of this mess. This particular 'thing' has been a recurring problem for a long, long time. It's unpredictable, and honestly the best way to avoid it would be to behave somewhat the same.

Be unpredictable.

As for the terms you've outlined, the only addition I have is that my counterpart, Revenant, who has specialized in dealing with this one be permitted access to the relevant data you provide. Her and I have worked on this for quite some time, and her insight will prove to be invaluable. Provided that's acceptable, then we can discuss solutions and ideas on how best to get its attention off of you and the others.

And be warned: How it acquires its intel remains difficult to discern. Keeping secrets from it is a challenge.
