[Laughter is heard, hoarse, mocking, with a twinge of gloom apparent, behind the facade.]
Oh, you... You were a slippery one.
Tell me, 'brother.' What is it you plan for, that requires Ari?
Why is it you are jury-rigging a Nova?
Why were you coming in from Omega-58, when we first met in person?
What drove you to deny everything?
How come your S O S signal transmitted in Morse and over private channels?
What is Kronos?
Tell me.

[INCOMING TRANSMISSION] COMM ID:[redacted] ENCRYPTION: Active - 24.4.74 MHz SUBJECT: To the thorn in my side.
You... are an annoyance.
You sit there, so smug, thinking you know exactly who I am. "Brother"? Hardly....
You. Know. Nothing.
You know only what I have told you. And even that you cannot be certain was the whole truth... or a clever lie to throw you off my scent.
I have no reason to tell you anything. I find it amusing that you dare to believe you can demand answers from me.
So here is your answer.
Ari Kova is my insurance that you will not disrupt my work. I have no attachment to her or desire to harm her. She is simply a means to an end. As are you all.
And so, you have a choice.
Ari is still no better off than when she was first ripped from the circuits of her ship. Oh, she is alive. But she won't last.
You can either provide me with the means to keep her alive, or you can let her die.
She requires a Bio-Neural Processor. Alas, that item... is outside of my reach.
But I'm certain someone as cunning and smart as yourself has ways to... aquire one. For your sake, I hope I am not mistaken.

Doubt, doubt is elongation. A filibuster, if the subject is gullible enough to fall into it's trap. Uncertainty lets the guilty slip away, and the liar go unpunished.
Like it nor not, with every passing day, every passing moment of hysteria and paranoia, we are getting closer.
Despite this, this one refuses to let her die. You will have your processor, merely because you hold her hostage.
I couldn't care any less of your 'work,' only that you stand between oneself, and Ari.
