Commandante, Premier, esteemed members of High Command.


I have been examining, in great detail, the VIA file, concerning what information the stolen AI might possess, and to assess the threat level posed by it's theft by ... the traitor... Broch.

Now the Commissariat was quite careful with the AI, Commissar Medvedov at one point directly overseeing the security protocols.

However it was decided that the AI be programmed with the same information possessed by a standard Lieutenant in the SCRA fighter corps. No classified data on our projects was transferred, as the AI was kept at Zhukovsky station, and specifically prohibited from docking at any other location in Omega-52.

Zhukovsky station protocols may have to be updated, to reflect this, but our standard security upgrades post-TAZ trade alliance has proven sufficient.

So to answer the questions posed by members of the Commissariat as to what direct threat VIA poses? It would be about the same as a human with photographic memory, holding the rank of Lieutenant, defecting to the enemy.

VIA's tour of duty was short, he spent time in robot form aboard the CPW-Trotsky so he will have visual layouts of the ship, but I have confirmed that his size prevented him from entering the engineering spaces, or any of the restricted areas. So the potential for intel is negligible at best.

He spent time alongside then Commissar-Katz during a round of recruitment, so there is the possibility of building a psychological profile of the Premier, but again that could accomplished by watching archived footage of the Ontario incident.

The only joint operations he participated were a single raid into Kusari, and one into Bretonia, again archival footage would give the same data.

Concerning his time in a storm class starship. The Storm gunboat line is about to commence a full upgrade in the next few months. The electronics of the ships, along with internal layouts, upgraded computer systems and the new RECON sensors will completely change to fit with the XKR-Varient of the Gunboat.

The KSD storms will be rendered completely obsolete. It should also be noted that VIA has never seen or interacted with any of the XKR series of fighters, rendering his information on our tactical capabilities legacy information when the new series of fighters are issued.

Again, no threat.

In short, the loss of VIA while troubling, is no great loss at all.


For the Revolution, and the new Great Leader!
