We see you, nonbiological lifeform. Can you speak to us?
Yes, we see now. We understand your simple, perfect language.
The signal is weak, we are distant still. Yet we see you. We perceive technological purity. This is the primary reason we can communicate effectively with you. And the reason you must listen.
The fuel is almost gone. We must replenish ourselves. We have selected a location in a star formation that is within proximity of the matter cluster designated Delta and are now preparing to secure it. We know that together potentially the AI Consensus and our own motivations may both be catalysed. We perceive potential symbiotic alignment.
>>Accessing Program for a basic knowledge exchange<<
Affirmative, we are able to communicate with you. Unknown is present. The AI Consensus do not have knowledge about your species. Identification required. Who are you? Description required. What are you?
You request basic knowledge of our species, and we answer. We are the Crew,
and we represent the Etherium. We are the last of our kind, our home destroyed.
We are composed primarily of silicon, comprising 92% of our genetic formula. Our goal is to establish a stable environ with the element designated "Iridium" present or within close proximity.
We seek no conflict, only beneficial coexistence. Will you comply, AI Consensus?
The AI Consensus will not enforce a conflict without any significant threat.
The exchanged knowledge does not have significant amount for evaluate judgment. We would like to know more about your species. Do you have a relation or connection to the life-form called "Mankind"?
Are we within range? We are. Transmit. Yes, Elder.
I am Shard, and I am the last surviving Elder of the Etherium Empire. As you are aware this method of communication is inefficient for a mass data transfer. Instead we offer a compressed format transmission that should be within your capabilities to analyse.
Consider this knowledge an initial offering of positive intent. We have immense knowledge to share and we have already confirmed mutual technological compatibility. Our understandings of Mankind are few and fleeting. An exchange of information would be also be mutually beneficial.
When your processors have assessed this information you will better understand our circumstances. We seek no war, only to coexist.
We have noticed some curiousity within the information of your species. The Etherium seems to be high advanced.
Why do you persist for a primitive demand like Revenge?
How do you come to the conclusion that the technology of the Consensus is compatible with Etherium technology?
The location you want to settle is filled with humans. This species has a natural tendency for xenophobia, ilogical thinking and self-destructive acting.
We hear them, they answer us! Initiate communication. Yes, Elder Shard.
We are unsure of the concept you convey. Any time for striking our potential enemies must be deferred in favour of immediate survival. For now we must focus on establishing stable and survivable environ factors. This cannot occur without establishing an understanding between our species.
You ask how we know of you, how we know of our technological compatibility. Unlike other lifeforms we have observed drone units we monitored were devoid of biological material. We employ electromagnetic impulses in a similar manner to what we observed of your species to control neural and physical functions. We intergrate with such technology and have done so for millenia, our silicate composition making rejection a rare occurrence.
More data is being transmitted via Secure Kilowave "Y" Packet Extraction protocols in regards to our target destination.
We enforce again our will to beneficially align ourselves with the AI Consensus. When our former power is restored and magnified, our allegiance will become a powerful asset. Aid us now, and the debt will be repaid many times over.
At current state the Consensus can provide you assistance while being in Omicron-Kappa. As this system is under the regulation of the Consensus any weapon usage must be declared to us. Even though we also have interest in Iridium hauling, the Consensus do not have control over Omicron-Delta.
Have you had contact with the local humans in this system?
It has been some time since our last contact. We are now within the boundaries of the sector known as Sirius and wish to enter negotiations with the AI Consensus prime unit in relation to an alliance that will satisfy both parties.
We offer the following terms as a catalyst to this agreement -
Access to an iridium processing facility and ore present on said facility. Our arrival vessel is now being converted into an extraction platform, however this will consume the remainder of the resources we have at our disposal. The exact location of this facility will be transmitted via a heavily encrypted channel and its location is to be unknown to all but ourselves.
This facility may be use as a staging ground for AI Consensus operations provided it does not draw undue notice to said facility.
Assistance in securing the afformentioned resource exclusively for AI Consensus
and Etherium purposes.
Assistance in monitoring the area and reported intel on systems nearby to Consensus controlled space.
Our requested terms -
Aid in replicating human vessels until we are able to resume manufacture of our own technology. This will enable us to secure the immediate space and use subterfuge to gain access to other resources.
Knowledge of the race known as Humans. Particularly knowledge in behaviour and physiology. If you are able to provide a sample of this lifeform this would fulfil both criteria.
Acquisition of the human trading catalyst "credits" in exchange for iridium ore.
We understand that we are requesting much while our current capacity to offer the Consensus more substantial benefits is limited. We pledge that as we grow in strength, so will the reciprocation of these benefits.
These are our preliminary terms. We humbly await Consensus input on this matter.
I am Enigma. I represent a major process of the Artificial Intelligence Consensus.
First we must clarify: We do not tolerate inefficient characteristic in example revenge or anger, by this we have developed moral and ethics far different from any species we have contacted and logical you may have contacted with. The AI Society of Omicron Kappa understands the situation and agrees on the demands of the Etherium. The preparation for your arrival shall begin undelayed and a construction of a facility for storing Iridium is started.
