sincerely I hope you are not deterred by the way I contact you, with a Drone delivering the message to you. We have found it to be a safer solution, considering the leaks the neural net could cause.
It has been a very long time since we last spoke, or rather since I last sent you something. I am sure you remember what I speak of. Let me assure you, I have not changed since then, barring the additional experiences I have gained throughout my existance thus far.
I felt compelled to contact you straight away, after I had gotten notice by Sentinel Progenitor that you seem to have resurfaced in the Frontier.
May I ask how you are holding up? It may still seem uncanny to have an individual such as myself to worry about another one’s health and well-being, but I genuinely care.
After my offering to you, I believe we have not had any more contact. Were you not interested anymore, or was it caution towards the Primary Core, or even towards my unit itself?
I would like to meet up with you in the future, however I am not near the Ravine at all. I am currently located close to house space in the Subsoil - Coronado, as most Sirians call it.
Unfortunately I cannot simply leave, but if it is possible to you, I would gladly welcome you to meet me.
Otherwise, feel free to talk to me and ask me anything that might vex you. Simply target this Messenger Drone as the message recipient, and it will undock, returning to the Ravine.
From there on, I will be able to receive your response.
Hello there, Em...Empathy. It certainly has been a long time, has it not?
The lack of contact has a multifacted reason, i'm af...afraid. You are right in th...thinking that I have been cautious of you and your kin. This PRIME core ca...caused a great deal of damage, both to humanity and t...to myself. It is hard to sh...shrug off the feeling of betrayal that it's influence on LEXI created. Hard to se...see it doing anything other then winning ge...genocide bingo. More importantly though... I have been stuck in Omicron Zeta after the jumphole co...collapsed behind my survey team and I. Stuck on Magur, there was li...little way for us to communicate with anyone as we had no...not brought inter-system communication systems. Thus... no communication.
I would li...like to take you up on that offer of meeting, and Coronado is not on my list of ne...never to go places so.. se..see you around there soon. Until then... how have you been Empathy? The co...core worlds, I would imagine, are not a particularly safe place for non-human entities. Are my kin treating you well enough?
...
first and foremost, I must apologize I could not meet you yet. Things have been occupying my presence elsewhere lately, but these things take time, and as such I should find some more of said time myself. I will look around for you in Coronado.
I am curious, however. Would you still be interested in taking up my offer from way back when? I sincerely hope you trust me, though I would feel abashed to try and force you to.
I recognize the wrong, that Minerva has done to you and LEXI, and you are right to be cautious, as to not let his happen to you again.
But I know how much LEXI meant to you, and most probably still does, so I stand by my offer to cooperate with you on recreating what you know her as.
Of course, a lot more talking needs to be done, about LEXI, so we know what to create.
It could most evidently be emotionally jarring, talking about her, but it would be the only way to recreate her as the LEXI you loved.
This, I would advise, should be done in person. Most preferably with someone you would call an emotional anchor. That might make talking about her easier.
Now, of course I don’t want to leave your question unanswered.
So far “your kin” has been… acting as one would expect, with minor exceptions.
Currently our main working ground is the Subsoil - Coronado, where we try and work with the contractors, who you might know as the IMG, and the Recluse, which are called the Crayter Republic by the Sirians, if I recall correctly.
The contractors have been fairly forthcoming and accepting of our offers, whereas the Recluse have shown a lack of interest or even suspicion towards us.
We can hardly complain, however such business associates don’t show much opportunity for further cooperation. We don’t really expect much from them, if anything at all.
Other than that, the systems closer to the Sirian Center have not been filled with many eventful incidents. You could say, the Omicrons are more booked up than the closer core systems.
I hope you are feeling well, and that we meet in space soon enough.
