I've got a little something for you, yo...your Imperial Majesty. I have anonymised the source b..bu...but I'm sure you can infer the context.

Data

[20.07.2025 18:37:21] Thallia.Thorn: Just... ... ... I've been collecting data whilst doing m...my work, and I think the Gammu AI are dangerous.
[20.07.2025 18:38:36] Source: Mm. They certainly are.
[20.07.2025 18:38:51] Source: Do you think they might be looking to harm you?
[20.07.2025 18:39:06] Thallia.Thorn: *blinks* Y...you already know this? What do you know about them?
[20.07.2025 18:40:22] Source: Not that much. But I've seen them chasing people around who they feel... Own something that is belonging to the AIs.
[20.07.2025 18:41:59] Thallia.Thorn: "They're att...attempting to collect items they think can be used to open some sort of structure, or gate or similar."
[20.07.2025 18:42:13] Thallia.Thorn: "Th...they working with some kind of alien form."
[20.07.2025 18:43:37] Source: Quite troubling, given that... We have been told to stand down and cease fire on certain aliens.
[20.07.2025 18:43:57] Source: Not only that, but even... Told to play nice with them.
[20.07.2025 18:44:44] Thallia.Thorn: "What?!...w...which aliens? How? Who?"
[20.07.2025 18:46:01] Source: Not really supposed to be talking about this, but you'll end up knowing anyway. We have a bunch of infectees-
[20.07.2025 18:46:26] Source: -flying around recently, apparently with some amount of free will their masters gave them.
[20.07.2025 18:46:43] Source: Former legionnairies included.
[20.07.2025 18:46:59] Thallia.Thorn: Ca...can you share names?
[20.07.2025 18:48:48] Source: Let me check my log...
[20.07.2025 18:49:34] Source: Oh, what a name.
[20.07.2025 18:50:08] Source: "Nibwaakaawin"... Took me an effort to say it.
[20.07.2025 18:51:50] Thallia.Thorn: "Nibwaakaawin"...*she jots it down on a scrap of paper.* "Wh...who gave you the order t...to not fire on them?"
[20.07.2025 18:52:37] Source: From the very top.
[20.07.2025 18:52:42] Source: Exarchy.
[20.07.2025 18:52:56] Thallia.Thorn: "Exarchy... M...Megiddo?"
[20.07.2025 18:53:11] Source: Them, too.
[20.07.2025 18:53:24] Thallia.Thorn: Wh...who is the Exarchy, sorry?
[20.07.2025 18:53:41] Source: Well, Megiddo you already know.
[20.07.2025 18:53:59] Source: There is also Exarch West and Exarch With.
[20.07.2025 18:54:21] Source: All of them are responsible for their own fields of operations.
[20.07.2025 18:54:40] Thallia.Thorn: And th...they've all signed off on this order to permit th...this infectee presence?
[20.07.2025 18:55:15] Source: Two of them, at least, has spoken about it with us. Megiddo and With. I assume West is on board with it as well.
