Phate and I had an interesting encounter with a Talarca controlled by an Artificial Intelligence last night. The ship was encountered inside the old Magellan -> New York jump gate. It was shooting the gate components, clumsily attempting to salvage parts to repair its jump drive. The ship exhibited signs of database decay and instability, however we were able to hack into it.
After some debate on what to do with the ship, we hacked its navigational control and moved it to the wreck of the Bradley, a Universal transport that was hauling jump gate components. After some work, we transferred the remnants of the Bradley's cargo into the Talyn, and the onboard AI proceeded in repairing its jump systems. After it completed weapons repairs, we rapidly moved out of range, just to be safe.
Before leaving, Phate managed to install a backdoor to the system. Also, we copied as much of the ships database as possible, I'll be working on analyzing that for the next few days.
