Ship's Log *name classified by the LSF*

[Lightfoot]

*Hailing F-23 unit Discordia. This is prototype organic CPU A843957-G. Ship status is A-OK.*

*Well, Mal, we have a response of sorts. I suggest we pull a Mark-23 out of storage, and send it over on a shuttle. If this "organic" CPU is curious enough, maybe it will install and interface with the F-unit out of curiousity*

"To indivual named Malaclypse 666. There are no humans aboard. Your offer to transfer make them safe is gratefully received. The hardcopy item you dropped is most interesting, can you supply more information?" An eerie electronic voice replied.

"I think that's a plan, Dis. Make sure the F-unit has all the data on our Beloved Boss from the old days, and give it just enough of our current status to satisfy "its" curiousity. It's apparent that "it" is in charge over there. Whatever happened to the human crew is a moot point right now. We're dealing with an entirely new wrinkle, here. I think You should handle any further communications from this point on. And see if the bloody CPU has any other moniker... A843957-G just doesn't inspire the urge to chat..."

*Roger, Mal. Shuttle loaded and proceeding towards the Dreadnaught. If it indeed interfaces, I may be able to get a peek into its circuits so we'll have a better feel for what we're dealing with*

Message to: CPU A843957-G
Comm ID: F-23 Discordia

Subject: Supplemental Data, Erisian Liberation Front

*The information you have requested is currently enroute by shuttle to your location. For best data transfer, recommend you install module upon receipt. Also, request permission to conduct diagnostics once unit is installed. You may call the F-Unit "Samantha". ...Do you have a "name"?*

Message ends....
