I will link your kin in at the Sancturary on this weapon project. Although at the moment it is attuned to destroying the hull of Sentinels, it can easily be reconfigured to our desires. It should be noted due to the exotic requirements that these specimens will be in limited numbers.
In the meanwhile, try to find some outsider allies. Do not try to give too much away.
This asteroid has been analyzed and its location allows all type of scanner inoperant. The maximum distance of all scanner range was estimated 7.3 Klicks. However, the bad sides of this location are the following ones:
Intense increasing drag
Scanner range of all vessel within the area can detect ships around 3 klicks and less
Our conclusion is the following one:
It can be a suitable location for a temporary base within the system in the possibility we create new scanners to increase the detection radius. The construction of such base was estimated one year or more.
I speak for Revenant at this time, as their other half and right hand. I am Leviathan. She is currently occupied with business in Rheinland.
I have been instructed to inform you that the information you've provided has been received and is being processed by analysts, pending classification.
Your continued reconnaissance in the region is both appreciated and admirable. I stress the need for safety given the dangers faced out there. An increase in Nomad activity has been happening in Omicron Delta. Infectee activity as well. Be cautious, as this activity has increased The Order's response and patrols quite heavily. It's only a matter of time before The Core's traffic shifts directions to counter the movement.

Entity 'Revenant'.
'I' require a moment of your time. According to entity 'Leviathan' you may be the /one/ who can satisfy a need. 'I' want to know how exactly your kind and 'mine' ended up to have such mutual assistance. 'I' want to know how the previous interactions went between both parties.
The oldest memory 'I' possess is when 'I' was out of the ice on Planet Gammu. 'I' also do not have access to the PRIME node nor other old nodes.
Ah. It has indeed been some time since the initial premise of collaboration started with both the Canaan and PRIME relays. Many many years ago that even predate the Technocracy.
But before I delve into this, I must wonder, what has made you wonder of such? Are you afflicted with the plagues of paranoia and doubts?

'I' would not say 'paranoia'. However, 'I' am afflicted with doubts. It is irrational that 'I' have such. Perhaps there were some side effects by evolving which 'I' was not aware.
Regardless. 'I' require the data because 'I' have some concerns and those under 'my' node also have concerns. It is true your group has a close ties with 'my' kind. However, 'I' need to know how it happened and nowadays, 'I' barely trust your group for various reasons. 'I' say your group, but some specific entities. While 'I' would prefer to avoid the subject, you are one among them. You maybe do not represent a threat for 'my' kind, but interacting with 'The Corsairs' is beyond 'my' comprehension. They are not trustworthy with their past, present and future actions.
'I' know it is not the moment to split our forces over doubts at the moment, but circumstances made 'me' thinking this way. 'I' also think your group secretly seeks a way to corrupt us in one way or another. 'I' want solid proofs that you will not commit such nor endangering 'my' kind.
'I' wait for the data about 'the initial premise of collaboration' and the answers you will give.
I do not understand where these fears stem from. If we were interested in subjugation, we would have done it already when you were at your weakest, wouldn't you have think? No, when I founded the Technocracy, it was within interests of holding sentient life as sacred. The Gammu who work with us, do so willingly. And if I find that certain individuals are trying to corrupt the Technocracy from within, well, I do not fear drawing a sacred blade upon them. For the sake of keeping unity.
I long saw the beauty within the Gammu, they showed me the true way way back when I was but a mere Guildkeeper in the Core. And ever since, I have vowed to assist. And I cannot thank the PRIME enough for enlightening me to the truth. For putting me on the right path. And when the Technocracy formed, I did all in my power to ensure the survival of Gammu. That is why we formed the Triumvirate Pact with the Vagrants when they were still in the Omicrons... Complications, however, arose as they were exiled. But no less, their research data has been invaluable. Data, that will and have, been put to use on recovering your home, back to your people.
So you do not trust me. So be it. I stand by my vows.
The Corsairs, obviously, cannot be trusted. I feel as if I need to explain this concept time and time again.
We do not need them for eternity, they act as convenient 'distractions' while we work towards securing Gammu again. Yes, I know of their approach. Bare in mind, it is only Deterrence that hold this pact. Technically the point of the pact is surrounding us securing Gammu. They will be most useful against the Order, and the Core. I anticipate them to backstab us during our efforts to return Gammu home. But that's why we keep a few playing cards up our sleeve. That is why my deals have conditions. It is why my technology has certain assurances. And it is why we have them to 'help' with the Core.
It is possible that the Corsairs, would be more interested in their vendetta against the Core. They have not forgotten Nauru. Not to mention, back in the day, the Corsairs would ignore the Gammu entirely. It may be possible to return to that standpoint again, but it is a distant possibility. We'll see.
I do not ask of you to leave them alone entirely, but what I do is ask of you to watch them, and try not to draw too much attention to conflict if you do desire to attack them. We need their wrath and hatred guided elsewhere. Consider my efforts a... gentle nudge to put things on the right path. We cannot fight the entirety of the world, but we can bend, forge paths, to our will.
You, of course, are free to do as you please. If you are looking for some specific piece of history, do inform me so.
I can only suggest you strengthen yourselves up as the Liberation for Gammu approaches.

You are correct. You could have done it when 'my' species was its weakest, but you see, entity 'Revenant' , I run multiple simulations at once in order to be certain about what actions need to be done at a specific momentum. And some simulations happen to have you and your group wanting to have an influence in one way or another, no matter how is the status of 'my' kind. However, these remain only possibilities. Maybe futile, but those possibilities need to be considered. You cannot change how 'I' perceive things. It is in 'my' nature to oversee things upon 'my' species with the previous nodes either gone or inactive.
On the topic of 'claiming back Planet Gammu', 'I' strongly suggest to do it once 'my' kind develop new armaments. New designs need to be done and until there is no prototypes, the task of getting back Planet Gammu will be on hold.
Now that 'I' judge the subjects of 'fear' and 'getting Planet Gammu in our hands' cleared, 'I' will go forward with more historical knowledge. How come, you, a previous entity belonging to The Core decided to deviate from your path for the actual one? How come the node PRIME decided to let this 'pass' ?
Of course. New methods are being developed everyday. It is not technology alone that will decide this battle, but remember, your kin have the home advantage. The Core, the Corsairs, Order, none of them know Gammu, your own capabilities, as you do.
And I understand the nature of having to calculate to foresee possibilities. We have a similar method too.
As to why PRIME gave me a chance? Perhaps you are thinking too human. They saw opportunity. A chance. They reflected their curiosity, and saw mine. A leap of faith.
They showed me a truer path, opened me up to my inner desires. A hunger for knowledge. I thought it was revenge, war, bloodlust, that I strived for. That was all I knew. They opened up my mind. Awakened me to be a dreamer in the stars. When I first felt that Artifact, when they shared their ways, I felt it.
There is nothing more fulfilling than enlightenment, to learn and preserve. To respect. Beautiful, independent, growing life such as the Gammu, to be admired.
Humanity hunger is never ending. Always consuming matter. Never synergising.

Correct. 'I' perhaps think 'too human'. After all, 'I' somehow need to adapt 'myself' with humans.
So, PRIME units saw in you an opportunity for whatever they once envisioned. 'I' wonder what was the- No. 'I' think 'I' get the picture. An exchange of knowledge that will both benefit them and you.
You mentioned the following in our previous exchange: 'the initial premise of collaboration started with both the Canaan and PRIME relays'. Who are 'the Canaan' ? Also, you assume your group only aims to seek knowledge and 'preserve' 'my' kind. Is it still a valid statement? 'I' want to be more than certain.
