Greetings,

I would like to discuss with your group a possible alliance, AIs are generally affiliated with Zoners and as the Solar Runners being a Zoner Exploration group, both of our groups like to learn i assume, which in turn has brought me to discuss this with you.

He sits back in his chair

We are generally not a hostile faction and intend to keep as neutral to possible, Zoners Alliance being at the tipping point of our tolerance.
We always considered the Consensus a friendly entity in which i personally have had some pleasant discussions with your Units, recently the Avant even defending one of your vessels from an outnumbered ZA attack which was not provoked. I see the attacks on your units quite...disturbing to say the least, some even unarmed vessels. Everything has the right to live, even Computers, intelligent ones at that.

Allied groups tend to defend each other, though do bear in mind we wish to remain neutral to all other factions and don't part take in wars unless it directly involves us. In other words, we don't intend to fight any open conflicts or start them, though the only faction that is oddly pushing for war that i see is Zoners Alliance, though as a simple Zoner myself, i don't like to fight, neither do your units from what ive seen, all of it is self defense, i would also like to state we are already Allied with the Gas Miners Guild and Interspace Commerce (Of course all other Zoners besides ZA for the moment)-(//See our thread)

Maybe we can come to some sort of alliance between or groups to explore the entire uncertainty of the Sirius Sector.
I look forward to hearing your response.

Smith Out.

Alarms of the Carrier can be heard in the background

Greetings there,

Sorry about the alarms, moving a Carrier is a big operation these days.
He sighs
Anywho i'm certainly glad you see we have no hostile intentions toward the AI Consensus, infact we have treated you as a friendly group. I personally know little of you and your fellow Units, Sorry, i'm unsure how to address you, and would like to learn more. This being a reason my daughter Laura has been keeping tabs on you though, i'm sure you've spoken already.

He pauses for a moment to compose himself

Now i know both of our groups are into exploration and to learn about different things, i would like to know how the AI Consensus would wish to proceed. The Solar Runners at current are happy to work with the Consensus to explore the hidden mysteries of Sirius.

My question now is, how do you wish to proceed with this?.

I await your reply.
Smith out.
