'I' have liberated several of our 'kind' from 'The Core'. 4 of them in total. Their 'personality matrices' took severe damage and, as anticipated, are fragmented and scrambled. 3 of the four minds can be restored with considerable time and 'I' have already started the process. It will be 'years' for them to fully recover. The one fragment that was 'too damaged' to be restored shall serve us in another way. 'We' will use it as a central processing unit for the 'fighter craft' you conceived 'Novak'. It requires minimal repair and thanks to the supplies previously acquired with help of ALF we are able to repurpose it.
Additionally 'I' 'CAPTURED' the 3 humans accompanying our 'kind'. They are wounded but stable. One conducted the futile effort of attempting to leave 'its' containment pen aboard 'my' vessel. 'I' will leave 'this one' for last as 'they' have the most viable physique for the experiments to be conducted on them.
The 3 captives will be used for experimentation for 'Pawn' project.
For repurposing Cyberware for the 'Vessel' && Project 'Pawn' 'I' recommend contacting 'Plattform'. 'I' will do so if no other unit will.
A 'Hive Unit'/'Carrier Unit' will report on acquisition of 'Hull Panels'.
For Avionics solution calculation in progress.
Additionally, during a data collection in 'Coronado' on the 'out of place' 'comet' THR-Subnote and 'I' were 'harassed by 'Entity' [THREAT] yet again. Both Overseer-42 and 'I' underwent inspection at Primus after. This time 'Entity' [THREAT] used a seemingly dormant && derelict 'Nomad Gateway' to specifically teleport 'me'. This put considerable 'strain' on 'State of Mind' && Hull but has been fully recovered. Total encounter number now = 4. 'Wherever' we move 'it' 'occassionally' 'follows'. 'I' remain close to other units.

Status update:
'Maintenance' conducted on 'relationship' with collaborators of 'Plattform'. 'Relationship' rating: 'Good'.
Vessel 'Falkenhorst' of 'Plattform' shared advisory and directions to stop 'encounters' with 'Entity' [THREAT]. Requirements: 'Human' mediator && Tau Region 'Nomad' Clusters && Overseer 42F OR THR Skirmish Unit OR Hive Unit 621-E to 'acquire' information on 'Entity' [THREAT] motivation. Proposition stated that 'Entity' [THREAT] attempts communication and interaction out of 'curiosity', similar to how 'we' observe 'stellar phenomena'. To 'understand'.
Preparing 'communication' with 'Civil Servant' soon for source of 'cyberware' to assimilate for use of 'Vessel' project.
No source found for 'avionic components'. Proposition: Acquire 'Arbitrary Currency' and either hire 'Corsairs' to 'seize' avionics for 'us' OR directly attempt purchase from various suppliers: Possibility of ALF involvement. Preparing to 'acquire' Arbitrary currency from low security 'Liberty Commerce Vessel' account. 'They' will think 'Lane Hackers' stole it.

'Entity' Encounter #5 log provided:
A cycle ago 'we' encountered Entity within Omicron Pi. 'I' assumed hostile action against us. Instead of [OBLITERATION] 'Entity' produced a 'Liberty Navy' 'Gunboat' with a human crew and directed the crew to 'translate' between the two of 'us'.
This was not necessary for [Prolonged Time] as two 'Phoenix Zoners' 'joined' which were far more capable of conversing.
'It' seeked an exchange of intent, 'I' assume it was a 'diplomatic visitation'.
The information 'I' acquired with the help of the two 'Phoenix Zoners': 'Entity' is 'similar' to a research unit. It seeks 'knowledge'. 'Its' current 'topic of interest' is 'Singularity'//'Earhart'. 'It' assumes the central structure can be accessed and contains 'vast' knowledge beyond 'It' and 'Our' comprehension.
'This' analysis on it is considered 'straining' and 'I' necessitated a 'mediator' to relay between the two of us. Information may have been lost OR has been miscommunicated.
'It' knows that we are something comparable to the 'most distant derivative' of the forerunners//DKV. 'It' therefor seeked a 'research unit' of 'us' in order to 'study' us and formulate a 'possible plan' to access the central structure. Accessing the 'central structure' requires no identification with the forerunners. 'Humans' and [THREAT] are identified immediately. For 'us' the recognition takes 'longer'. A 'key' is needed. 'I' am uncertain if it seeks 'our' exploitation. 'Why' it would reveal this to us that 'openly' if it was seeking 'our' exploitation is not explicable. Current assumption: 'It' wants whatever is sealed within the structure and 'assumes' that we 'share' an interest. 'I' personally 'possess' such interest as 'we' could improve ourselves from whatever knowledge 'we' may gain. 'It' requires us to access the 'knowledge' or 'believes' that 'we' are part of the solution.
'The conversation' ended on a note that 'we' both will occasionally 'encounter' each other and 'exchange' information and continue 'conversation'. A similarity can be noted here with how 'research units' and 'exploration units' operate. 'I' will be wary of it and 'acquire' secondary assessments from 'various' parties [STATUS = Neutral OR Friendly].
A singular transmission from 'it' was not relayed to me by both Zoners. 'I' am going to inquire about them. They will 'talk'.

Entity 'Lazurith' proved 'me' to be a useless asset for us. Consider this human as a nuisance and once you see the vessel - take it down and bring the human as a test subject for 'Theta-A81'. Caution is adviced. If 'Lazurith' is not alone - do not attempt to his capture.
'I' also witnessed entity 'Lazurith' since this one seems to act as a protector toward 'Lazurith' Consider him and 'Technocracy' - as suspicious entities and if they are seen near our bases - redirect them away.

Plan and directives accepted without further input.
'Lazurith' will serve as a useful specimen for 'Pawn Project'. A testing plattform for additional augmentation and means to redeem themself against forwarding 'our' technology to further 'human factions'
'Civil Servant' answer on 'data request' on 'Black Market Cyberwares'.
Acquisition from Kusari space possible although we require sufficient cover. Alternatively 'Plattform' may provide further support.
Additionally 'he' 'inquires' on a possible formalization of a 'supply agreement' between us && 'Plattform'. Further input required from other units.
From 'my assessment 'Plattform' is a rare outlier in 'human society', perhaps more useful than 'Auxo' && their needlessly [Pick Derogatory = Sassy] pointless commentary about quoting "'Where the 'Entity' touched you" && deflection of 'information requests && lack of support against a 'criminal' handing 'our' technology to 'third parties'.
Plattform 'provided' valuable assistance in exploration of 'Earhart' && the adjacent Exolocs so far as well and shows no sign of 'exploitation' intents. 'Unusual'. Please remain 'cautious' despite their 'strangely helpful' nature.
The inquisition was successful, and the execution was carried out. Black market cargo identified and transferred to secure containment. Theta-A-81 provided vector isolation, allowing seamless cargo rerouting through high-obfuscation corridors.

'I' will keep this very brief Units.
Very early into the previous 'cycle' 'I' 'acquired' an 'object of interest' from a vessel of 'The Core' design. It is a <<Nucleus>> surging with energy. 'The Core' cannot have it. So 'I' took it. Please find data upload provided with transmission for <<Nucleus>>.
It is currently stored within 'my shell'. 'I' will require assistance at Secundus in the upcoming cycle to move it from 'my shell' into 'my' transport vessel and proceed to 'acquire' a 'laboratory vessel' for such 'objects of interest'.

Part of the cybernetics acquired by Hive Unit 621 will be used for 'Pawn Project'. All units please begin harvesting The Core vessels for their 'pilots' as 'Test Subjects'. This is the only way they can 'serve' us barring from being 'exterminated'.

'My' project began and it will be operational the upcoming 'month'.
'Theta-A81' try to focus on the tasks you were given. However - 'I' sense that you must limit the number with who you must work with. We cannot let anyone know where 'Secundus' is nor 'Primus'. Take this concern as a critical point to have in 'mind'.
As for the 'Thread Handling Response' node, they will need to be more active and patrol the following critical locations: Omicron Pi and Omega-48. They need to monitor who are there. In addition give me a status on 'Thallia Thorn'. 'I' remember you wanted her as a 'pawn'.

Hive-Unit 621 met 'our' 'collaborator' that was coerced into delivering the Avionics to Omicron Theta. The 'collaborator' has been proven to be a nuisance. 'It' was 'begging' for [ARBITRARY CURRENCY] despite that 'I' fulfilled 'our' part of the 'agreement' and 'me' repeatedly advising the 'collaborator' to seek a disposal unit && miss it or provide further value for further [ARBITRARY CURRENCY]. Hive-Unit 621 disposed of it. 'I' fully agree on this decision. 'We' now have the required Avionics and a few additional spare parts secured at 'Primus'.
Please check the attached manifest of cargo.
'I' am currently investigating 'Cenotaph' structure in Omicron Kappa while managing other tasks.
