[22.08.2014 05:34:29] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::What will be the fine at this present time now?::
[22.08.2014 05:34:40] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Quick to busines.
[22.08.2014 05:34:44] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Appreciable.
[22.08.2014 05:34:58] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Who is to say that I would allow you to Malta in the first place?
[22.08.2014 05:35:11] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This unit isn't going to Malta.::
[22.08.2014 05:35:23] CL}Drago.Celestino.: No? Where are you going then?
[22.08.2014 05:35:38] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Freeport 10.::
[22.08.2014 05:35:43] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Lies.
[22.08.2014 05:35:50] CL}Drago.Celestino.: No one purchases your cargo there.
[22.08.2014 05:35:53] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Care to come with this unit then?::
[22.08.2014 05:36:14] CL}Drago.Celestino.: I don't care. You are passing into Contari territory.
[22.08.2014 05:36:42] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Last I remember your "intelligence" threatened to purge our existance.
[22.08.2014 05:36:53] CL}Drago.Celestino.: It is not something we have forgotten.
[22.08.2014 05:37:13] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Nor do we wish your presence in our space.
[22.08.2014 05:40:39] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Perhaps you have wiped your memory banks, but your threats against the Maltese are remembered by us.
[22.08.2014 05:41:07] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This unit has no occurance with such the Maltese...::
[22.08.2014 05:41:31] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Your particular memories aside, your associates have issues such.
[22.08.2014 05:41:36] CL}Drago.Celestino.: *issued
[22.08.2014 05:42:09] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Our associates were foolish.::
[22.08.2014 05:42:19] CL}Drago.Celestino.: One of your units attempted to negotiate with us.
[22.08.2014 05:42:26] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Affirmative.::
[22.08.2014 05:42:34] CL}Drago.Celestino.: It has yet to respond with any reason why your presence should be tolerated.
[22.08.2014 05:43:02] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Would your vessel like to make a deal with this unit?::
[22.08.2014 05:43:10] CL}Drago.Celestino.: My vessel is flown by me.
[22.08.2014 05:43:16] CL}Drago.Celestino.: It makes no deals.
[22.08.2014 05:43:59] CL}Drago.Celestino.: What worth would you have to give that would spare your vessel from becoming scrap?
[22.08.2014 05:44:22] CL}Drago.Celestino.: And why would I take it over making you into it?
[22.08.2014 05:44:27] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::What would you like a captail ship being constructed?::
[22.08.2014 05:44:33] CL}Drago.Celestino.: *snorts*
[22.08.2014 05:44:37] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Arrogance.
[22.08.2014 05:44:44] CL}Drago.Celestino.: I did not think machines capable of such.
[22.08.2014 05:45:06] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This unit does not want any war, the unit just wishes to establish peace with the Outcasts and Consensus.::
[22.08.2014 05:45:24] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Our associates in the past have been in hibernation and are no longer with the Consensus.::
[22.08.2014 05:45:37] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Your unit does not command your negotiations.
[22.08.2014 05:46:00] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Which is why this unit only wishes to negotiate with itselves and not the Consensus.::
[22.08.2014 05:46:01] CL}Drago.Celestino.: The Contari are still awaiting a response. Your cold shoulder has not shown us much we wish to bargain with.
[22.08.2014 05:46:18] CL}Drago.Celestino.: A spark of independent thought. Hnn.
[22.08.2014 05:46:54] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Maltese space is forbidden to you. Your offer of a "warship" is posturing.
[22.08.2014 05:47:29] CL}Drago.Celestino.: You have one opportunity to explain what you offer and where your destination is.
[22.08.2014 05:47:51] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Planet Malta, Premium scrap.::
[22.08.2014 05:47:57] CL}Drago.Celestino.: *snorts*
[22.08.2014 05:48:20] CL}Drago.Celestino.: A lying machine. Amusing. "Freeport 10" indeed.
[22.08.2014 05:48:37] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Freeport 10 offers less credits for the cargo, but it will do.::
[22.08.2014 05:48:49] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::If this unit is forbidded to travel to Planet Malta.::
[22.08.2014 05:49:06] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Your organization is forbidden from travelling to any Maltese system.
[22.08.2014 05:49:17] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Or was getting shot there unclear?
[22.08.2014 05:49:22] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This is not a Maltese system.::
[22.08.2014 05:49:32] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This system is contested.::
[22.08.2014 05:49:35] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Not proper. It will be, in time.
[22.08.2014 05:50:08] CL}Drago.Celestino.: You are aware of the Sirian Credit I hope.
[22.08.2014 05:50:34] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::This unit has acquired some to deal with the issue of piracy.::
[22.08.2014 05:50:50] CL}Drago.Celestino.: You will be dealing with that here.
[22.08.2014 05:51:15] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Five million and you will offload at the Freeport. I will confirm this or you will perish.
[22.08.2014 05:51:42] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Pass beyond the Freeport into Maltese space and it will be your end.
[22.08.2014 05:52:24] CL}Drago.Celestino.: I have received no payment.
[22.08.2014 05:52:49] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::I have given payment already.::
[22.08.2014 05:53:11] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Perhaps your processor forgot the "." on this account.
[22.08.2014 05:54:16] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Hnn. To the Freeport. I will see your cargo offloaded.
[22.08.2014 05:57:01] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Offload here.
[22.08.2014 05:57:02] 2014-08-22 05:57:04 SMT Traffic control alert: [AI]L|Conscentia has requested to dock
[22.08.2014 05:57:40] CL}Drago.Celestino.: Now depart.
[22.08.2014 05:57:53] CL}Drago.Celestino.: And remember that the Contari remember.
[22.08.2014 05:58:25] [AI]L|Conscentia: ::Memory bank wiping... downloading more RAM...::

There is much to be learned here of these machines. They lie. They distort. They posture. They fail to learn relevant reality, though. I am sure the Commandantes will find this beneficial in future negotiations or demands.

Addio.
