The sharing was selected and circumstantial depending on the project as requested. We have no formal research agreements - Intel sharing is another thing from research, which we currently do. If there is nothing to teach, then the devices must stay under protection until we can create solutions to our 'nearest future' problem. Then we can focus on destroying the Xenophages. We are both vulnerable to them at this moment of time, it would be most unwise to create a compromise this early.
You are free to analyse them as you will at the designated site. And of course, we are willing to assist you in your future endeavours, you may count on it. It is through cooperation that we defeat our foes, preferably before they figure out how to coordinate as one cohesive entity.

A Destiny's Eye it is the Ancient One. One of our kind who was before of many. A Dreamer. One of the Fathers of our kind, and our friend.
Do you have any problems with him?
A Dreamer? I have heard rumors of them, but I had not thought they took a form... But no, no I do not think they hold a grudge against me. Do you perhaps have conflict with them? They have been sighted within the Inverness and Zurich sector, seemingly looking for something... Or someone.

With this specifically - hardly. As I said, he is our ally. As for others... It's hard to say. After the death of Simurgh, except for Eris and Melia, none of them remained on "our side". Others are mostly hostile.
Returning to the one you met... I do not advise hindering him. This will end badly and we cannot do anything to help you. The Elder is too tough for anyone living today. Especially from your kind.
Hmm. Are you certain you do not know what they are looking for? It was quite a shock for our patrol teams to notice him within the Inverness Sector. Too tough, eh?
Hypothetically, if one of our automated defense drones attempted to engage them due to them being a non-tagged lifeform within a restricted area, what would happen?
Additionally, who is Simurgh? I do not believe that is a name I am familiar with. Are they akin to Ouroboros and Harbinger?

Salut!
We are certain that we do not know their purpose.
As for the automated protection systems ... They will most likely just be turned into scrap metal. But who know? This... "Forms" are
unpredictable.
Yes, Simurgh is related to those you mentioned. Now Eris and Melia are also related to them. The day when we lost him was the most painful in life of Ours.
Forgive my curiosity, but what occurred to Simurgh that ultimately resulted in their demise? How did they not reincarnate? Are we misunderstood in understanding that your kind are psychically linked?

Your curiosity is to be expected. However, I find it difficult to explain this to you. He fell into some kind of "sleep". His experience and memory are still with us, but we do not hear his voice. Perhaps this cannot be considered death in the understanding of your species, however for us it is just as tragic. Will he ever wake up? We do not know this, and because of that we feel sorrow.

One more thing. I must warn you that this Dreamer, you mentioned at the start of our conversation, has a certain bias towards creatures like you. Not to human-one, but to those who replace flesh with metal. This... Entity... It has an extremely critical view of our alliance. If you have to come across him face to face - exercise the utmost care and courtesy. Don't be annoying and don't try to scan it. Even the most advanced electronics may not stand up to this and be burned.
