The following promotions are effective immediately:
Initiate Mason Tennyson to the rank of Lieutenant, for swift response and prowess in the field.
Initiate Jacaranda Florence to the rank of Lieutenant, for keen initiative and unwavering dedication.
Fleet Captain Kelly With has been selected to succeed Denelo Mori as High Logarch. Exarch With has shown unparalled dedication to Prometheus and to the Legion before. She is an exemplar of the dedicated Legionnaire, sword and shield incarnate which stand between the ideals of House Liberty and all who would bring them harm. My artificial self has no doubt that you will follow her into the fires of Hell itself should she give the order. It is my artificial self's mandate that any Legionnaire to encounter Exarch With on any bar within Valravn or aboard the Incursus purchase her a glass of the finest malt whiskey on hand. She will object. You will do so regardless.
Congratulations, Legionnaires.

With regards to the non-human biological intelligence next door,
It is my artificial self's assessment that based upon the proverbial words and actions of the aforementioned entities that there is a reasonably high enough probability they have been forthright with their motives that we must seriously consider the prospect of cooperation. My artificial self is therefore tasking Cdr. Crowe and Lt. Florence's biological selves to further assess their intentions, capabilities, and willingness co-exist with both human and artificial life, henceforce Operation DOUBLETAKE. Should the Exarchy agree to move forward based on the findings of DOUBLETAKE, the establishment of relations with these entities will fall to High Logarch With, presumably through the one which styles itself Psyche.
Cdr. Crowe and Lt. Florence will report any information even potentially pertinent to DOUBLETAKE via secure internal communique embedded within Firestorm communications strata in identical format. Should there be any attempt successful or otherwise to biologically or psychologically compromise either Legionnaire, my artificial self shall authorize and spearhead immediate and decisive strike on NHBI infrastructure in both the Inverness and Kansas theaters.
