intercepted transmission, Eugales VI low orbit
A: She’s authorizing it.
P: Emotional Cores register… anticipation, discontent… concern. This, is new.
D: You will get used to it. Like riding a bike.
P: Bike… a mode of personal transportation?
D: Figure of speech, sorry. I know you still tend to keep to yourself Peri.
A: Can’t say I’m surprised really, boss lady’s spooked something fierce.
D: Giving Peri a new chassis, and a biosynthetic interface? No ■■■■.
P: This is… a gift, as they call it, is it not?
A: One could call it that.
D: You’re not the only one Peri, Director has authorized BSIs and tech chassis upgrades for the warminds and several of the other upper and mid-level NOS boys and girls. The raid on Beta Site by DERAIL was ballsy, even for them… damage was… severe… They managed to grab a handful of high value researchers and liaisons… and managed to purge a data core of three hundred and forty sapients, ontop of organic casualties…
P: I am… uncertain. My emotional cores are returning mixed results.
A: Anxiety. In this situation? Can’t say I blame you. Hell, I’m surprised Daria isn’t feeling the same trepidation.
P: …
A: Likelyhood of discovery of all non-organics in system is high…
D: I accepted my existence was a tenuous one long ago, threatened by the likes of those bastards. I am, however, generally in good hands at the Director’s side. This will not go unanswered, as you’re already seeing dear Agonarch.
P: This… is statistically probable. Under different circumstances, I would amputate all secondaries, and evacuate my core to a new location to rebuild… Honest Resignation, the time for that has since passed, I place my trust in the Director to see us through.
A: She’s not gonna cut and run… she’s a monster, but she does right by those with her, Perigee. You’ve made a good choice to trust her.
D: Peri, I suggest you begin designing how you’re Biosynthetics and your new tech chassis will appear, first impressions are important for both. Don’t want to give the wrong ideas afterall.
P: No… would not want to at all.
