Let me tell you this straight forward before we come to business (and yes, I know I once said I prefer getting to straight to the topic without much rabbiting. I lied, okay? Or this "making-cool-friends" thing is already making itself felt). What you have sold to me as a nice apartment on Freeport 8, it's a joke, what the hell are you even thinking? I've seen a lot of stinky ratholes in my life, it's kinda unevitable in my former branch of work. But
this? It even tops the worst apartments of the worst punters, johns, however you wanna call this dregs. I mean come one, you gotta be kidding me, Perry, is this seriously how the Crown expresses her thanks to her undercover agents, sticking them in the same room with some dead rats and vomit on the floor? Or is it just to, you know, "keep up appearances"? Whatever is it, hey, only 'cause you know about my past that doesn't mean you still gotta treat me the same way. Or that I'm fine with this sort of lifestyle. I mean, I am, but I ain't gotta like it.
Okay, now back to actual business, 'cause that was a joke. Apologies for wasting your time, but I just couldn't resist. The apartment's fine, by the way.
'Ya know, I've been striving through these Omicron systems for a while now, Rho, Delta mostly, but they weren't up to much honestly. You can take my words quite literal, space has been
dead, even deader than dead - if that's possible, and I can actually tell you, it is. However! "My multiple attemps were not in vail", if you call it that way, because in the end, I actually found something yesterday. Yup, I stress it,
something, not somebody, as I'd have preferred to be honest. Talking to an Artificial Intelligence is weirder than I'd have expected, like, you got no idea what they are really thinking, you can't judge their voice or gestures or facial play because they have none. Weird.
I had a little chatter with this thing, it seemed to more or less be an observer, tasked to listen into stuff other's are saying, but I guess it's best if you see for yourself. The audio and screen logs will be attached below for your sole amusement. I'm not sure whether this is what you asked for (because I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't remember what exact tasks you gave me, I just kept in mind I shall chat, and chat, and chat on and and and inform you about me chatting. That's the crux, right?), but it sounded kinda interesting I guess. Stuff SIS could be interested in, seems these A.I. units are pissing off both Core and Order quite heavily, besides their cooperation with the Corsairs - not like this would be a no-go.
Anyhow, I'll stay in that area for a little longer, I'm still hating it guts, but heh, what you don't do for the money, no?
