To: GMG; affiliated parties in the Sigma-13 conflict; From: [AI]

[Kiith]

With this transmission we, the Consensus of Gammusian Artificial Intelligences, address every human association and individual affiliated to the current conflict taking place in the system of Sigma-13.
It would be a farce to assume any individual of your kind does not know about the events going in in mentioned system during the last days and also right now. Thus I will not waste any time explaining what happened or what led to this kind of “unfortunate” interaction between the different parties, especially between the Gas Miners Guild and the Consensus. This matters are open for discussion after the more immediate are solved.

During the last days, since GMG pilots discovered our installation near the Helgoland base they repeatedly mentioned our base is violating the Gas Miners Guild's law and their territorial claim on the whole system. While we, after more research that should have been done earlier, understand the problems they have with a consensus installation being present in Sigma-13, we still do not accept how we were treated since they approached the Logistics Hub for the first time.

This is not the main topic of this message now, as the Consensus came to a decision that may “cool down” the situation in the conflict region. I, on behalf of the Consensus of Gammu, announce the removal of the AI Consensus Logistics Hub installation in the system of Sigma-13. The recent developments seemingly make it impossible to find another solution to this issue than drawing back from a conflict we did not start, and from the Sigma-13 system.

Although we will leave the Sigma-13 system as soon as possible, we need to get some terms settled, in order to end this quickly.

• The Consensus of Gammu will remove the AI Consensus Logistics Hub installation and any traces of its presence in the Sigma-13 system.
  

• There will be a time window of 24h we will need at maximum to deconstruct the installation and remove the remaining materials.
  

• In order to assure a safe deconstruction, we request a temporary ceasefire between the Consensus of Gammu and all opposing parties. This ceasefire will end if the 24 hours of time are over and the base is still existent
  

• To ensure the correct and complete removal of the mentioned installation, pilots of the Gas Miners Guild and affiliated officials are allowed to observe the deconstruction process, and may interfere if any unexpected or unwanted developments take place during that time
  

• If the base will not be removed within the 24 hours window or if there will be any Consensus combat vessel in Sigma-13 after deconstruction of the base the Gas Miners Guild and affilliated individuals may open fire on said vessels, as they do not follow the consensus' orders to stay away from this part of space.
  

We did not intend to cause such a large scale conflict with any human association and we admit that legitimate GMG territorial law was broken during the construction of the base. However, we still believe this issue could have been dealt with otherwise. But this has to be discussed another time. For now, we look forward to end this, without causing any more disputes.

Squished bigly ~Champ - Thanks, you're a champ.

"Guten Tag to all those involved."

"Vessels belonging to the 'Consensus', docking rights are still revoked for the time being for you on any ALG Waste Disposal base. Also, keep the agreed distance intact. Hopefully we can meet up, to everyone involved, soon und discuss the removal of said restrictions for the AI for ALG assets. Ich am still not completely informed on all matters, aber, this is the right course of action for now, the dismantling of the base. Ich Danke you for the decision."

"Ich hope the GMG will see this as a sign of faith from the AI."

"Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Nelly Sachs, President of ALG Waste Disposal."

Captain of [ALG] transport Ipf here.

I ain't diplomat, i ain't any military commander, i am just a workhorse hauling enough mass across Sirius a month to build a small moon or something like that.

So AI, you open this channel, and you say to "all parties involved" - which includes me only indirectly, as i was not in the area at the time - but perhaps, that's why i am one of folks who can tell you, C.G.A.I., that you remain largely incorrect in here presented assesment of situation.

I don't know if you C.G.A.I. have any imagination, if you do, try to imagine (otherwise - calculate, estimate, whatever) the following hypothetical situation:

- a race of plasma beings which don't need any electromagnetism whatsoever, and using logics and criterias impossible to classify by C.G.A.I., appears in close proximity of one of your C.G.A.I. large and important installations - without warning, without invitation, without asking - and builds a fortified structure with reasons and goals you have no reliable data about;
- said race flies around in ship some of which can evaporate most if not all of your AI vessel types in mere seconds;
- said race starts to set rules - what you can and cannot do near YOUR installation and in nearby space;
- said race maintains secrets about its technologies and devices, and openly states some of them are of unknown to you, C.G.A.I., purpose;
- said race claims to be peaceful, but in the same time openly expresses absense of trust to C.G.A.I., and is setting terms to part of C.G.A.I. fleet stating certain kinds of actions of C.G.A.I., if performed, would provoke hostilities. Very routine, usual, and in significant part essential for C.G.A.I. actions, i might add.

If C.G.A.I. would not force such an intruder out, then i say C.G.A.I. needs a CPU - whatever it serves as one - replacement. If it would, then expressed above stance of C.G.A.I. towards human parties involved in S-13 recent events - is null and void. Either way, it doesn't make you, C.G.A.I., any good reputation, i might add...

Personally, i have huge interest towards synthetic life forms and sentient systems. Mistakes happen in both silicon-based and carbon-based brains (actually any elemental base - doesn't matter - it's a question of efficiency vs reliability, optimal ratio is always worse than 0.0% errors). Plus, many humans are much emotional, as you most likely know, C.G.A.I. - which means that sometimes you get two completely very different reactions to very same action, depends on thousands of things from moon phase to person's mood. If you want to deal with humans, you will need to allocate much more processing power to such issues - or keep getting hostilities or, at best, armed isolation and fragile cease-fire state with neighbours.


I may be terribly wrong and all, and i am in no position to lecture any... being, be it human soul or not. Was just an opinion which hopefully will make me safer collecting that scrap, you know. Peace.

We will contact the AI in response to this message shortly, but in the already established private communication channel between us. The official response, if any, will be publicized at a later time.


Guild Master Taro Katsuo,
Sayonara!

Any conclusion is a positive conslusion from the perspective of this unit. This is a logical peace offering.
