Dear representatives of the AP Manufacturing and The Core,
My name is Nathali Girard, Ageira~ Innovations explorer and researcher. Allow me to congratulate you, on our behalf, on your successful crusade against the Artificial Intelligence based on planet Gammu. We are always looking for solutions and upgrades to make our products better and more suitable for our customers, The Core as one of our primary consumers of Light Arms included. For that we would like to ask if there is any chance our department could be included in research and analysis of data and remnants of AI or if you desire to keep everything for your own researchers. AI is part of our portfolio and I am sure both of our organisations would benefit and our relations deepen even further, should any agreement be reached between Ageria~ and APM and/or The Core. Please, let us know if you are interested and if we can reach an agreement.
Hello, Ms. Girard.
I'll begin with introductions, as you most likely have not heard of me. I am Jessica Scarlet, I've made my way through the ranks of the Core, but unfortunately have landed this overglorified desk job. APM, and by extent, The Core's prosperity is my priority. That being said, you have to understand how valuable the salvaged tech is to us. AIs are the future and we do have a hardon for dancing on the bleeding edge of technology.
However, contrary to popular belief, we're not against colabs. There's only so far you could go on your own. I'd like to hear what you have in mind and if it's within reasonable parameters, I'm sure we can strike a mutually profitable deal.
~Yours Truly, Jessica Scarlet, Director of the APM and STILL the least controversial person in the Core.
Please excuse our delay for unpredictable things have occured, however now I am here again to discuss this opportunity further.
We aren't exactly sure what have you and The Core managed to obtain from the AI on planet Gammu, if any hardware, vessels or some specific software and that makes our negotiation slightly more difficult. And so I would like to propose we at Ageira~ Innovations send a small delegation to one of your stations where we could study some of the footage and documents from Gammu, without valuable data of course, and after that we could talk further about the colab between us. However I've got a green light from our board to send several personnel including me to Delta system and to start this project, if you are willing to take this first step with us.
But we are willing to promise if there was something unknown to Ageira Innovations found, we would pay greatly for such items and data gathered around them, be it software, hardware or footage of AI equipment on Gammu.
Also if there were any AI "vessels" preserved and obtained from The Gammu, would be it possible to purchase them from you? And if so, what would be the price.
My people on Durban will be notified for your arrival.
They will make sure you have access to our archives and inventory, without revealing anything classified, at this time. Furthermore, your party will be authorized to visit the source of everything AI - Omicron Kappa.
As for ships, there are several defunct vessels in storage, but they are either severely damaged or scrapped for parts. We don't have anything functional, since they either got evacuated or obliterated.
Let me know when you and yours arrive in Delta, so we can speak in person. I have a few... special items I'd like to show you personally.
~Yours Truly, Jessica Scarlet, Director of the APM and STILL the least controversial person in the Core.
Very well, then. With your permission we will arrive in approximately two(2) days to Durban Station in Omicron Delta system, most likely with a batch of our light arms.
We will get in touch as soon as we reach the final destination on this journey. You've got my interest, miss Scarlet.
Greetings again.
As promised, we've drafted a quick contract about the tech exchange. It is not a final version and is up for negotiation. I'll spare you the long version and give you the important stuff.
Quote:
The Core WILL grant access to Planet Gammu and Class 3 and Class 2 Gammu AI Technology to select Ageira Innovations representatives.
The Core WILL provide access to Class 3 and Class 2 Gammu AI Drones
The Core WILL provide Ageira Innovations with housing accomodations, food rations, fresh water, recreational activities, medical care at H+ clinic and will be in charge of the Ageira Innovations' representatives' security detail.
The Core WILL sell up to five Class 2 AI Drones to Ageira Innovations for 1,000,000 per Unit.
APM engineers WILL work alongside Ageira Innovation engineers to both help and monitor their activities.
Ageira Innovations will NOT share any knowledge with any third parties.
Ageira Innovations will NOT interfere in security operations, unless permission is given by the Highest Ranking Core PMC member available.
Ageira Innovations will NOT interfere with any and all APM operations, classified or otherwise.
Ageira Innovations will NOT transfer ownerships of any discoveries with anyone BUT Core PMC and by extent, APM.
Ageira Innovations will NOT utilize any technology acquired in this tech exchange against Core PMC, APM and the Governments of Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia and Rheinland.
For the record, here is a list of the Tiers of Gammu AI tech.
Quote:
Class 3 - All metals, composites and liquids of Gammu Origin, including spaceships and platforms beyond repair.
Class 2 - Inactive but non critically damaged spaceships and platforms. AI databanks and dormant programs and constructs contained within an isolated virtual environment.
Class 1 - Fully self aware and active AI Programs contained within a virtual environment Fully functional weapons and active spaceships.
Needless to say, Class 1 is extremely dangerous and until we can trust you, you will not have access to this class.
Should you feel there's more to add, by all means, I'm open for suggestions.
~Yours Truly, Jessica Scarlet, Director of the APM and STILL the least controversial person in the Core.
Very interesting draft of contract I must say. I will copy your terms and add notes and comments below so we can reach final agreement. Green text is agreement, yellow is up to discussion and red is denial from our part.
Quote:
The Core WILL grant access to Planet Gammu and Class 3 and Class 2 Gammu AI Technology to select Ageira Innovations representatives. - Agreed
The Core WILL provide access to Class 3 and Class 2 Gammu AI Drones - Agreed
The Core WILL provide Ageira Innovations with housing accomodations, food rations, fresh water, recreational activities, medical care at H+ clinic and will be in charge of the Ageira Innovations' representatives' security detail. - Agreed
The Core WILL sell up to five Class 2 AI Drones to Ageira Innovations for 1,000,000 per Unit. - Here we will need specifications. Does this include casual drone, is bomber class and cruiser class included? Ageira Innovations is willing to pay much more for Cruiser class drone, should there be any damaged. For better understanding and data. Also weaponry included?
APM engineers WILL work alongside Ageira Innovation engineers to both help and monitor their activities. - This counts for Omicrons only, on our part
APM WILL provide Ageira Innovations with so far collected data in Class 3 and Class 2
Ageira Innovations will NOT share any knowledge with any third parties. - Agreed
Ageira Innovations will NOT interfere in security operations, unless permission is given by the Highest Ranking Core PMC member available. - Agreed, we don't plan on going offensive in Omicrons, only defensive operations should our operatives be under attack and even then they will follow more experienced personnel on the field
Ageira Innovations will NOT interfere with any and all APM operations, classified or otherwise. - Agreed, what is yours is yours
Ageira Innovations will NOT transfer ownerships of any discoveries with anyone BUT Core PMC and by extent, APM. - Agreed
Ageira Innovations will NOT utilize any technology acquired in this tech exchange against Core PMC, APM and the Governments of Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia and Rheinland. - I think we can agree on this as a corporation having friendly relations with all of mentioned here
As you can see, Ageira Innovations will agree on most parts of this draft, however there are some points that need to be clarified. But they are also negotiable and not really set in stone. Hopefully we will be able to reach your trust, to get a full study on yet self-aware AI.

By drones, I understand drones. Cruisers are something different. That being said, if you can salvage your own Cruiser, you're free to take it. As a sign of good will, price is the same.

Naturally. We don't plan to follow your home and commit corporate espionage. That won't be very polite.
Quote:APM WILL provide Ageira Innovations with so far collected data in Class 3 and Class 2
Understandable request. I'll give you access to the databanks and the data we have collected. It ain't that much, though. Alloys and mechanical specs are not very interesting.
The true power lies in the AIs themselves. That's what we need to untangle.
~Yours Truly, Jessica Scarlet, Director of the APM and STILL the least controversial person in the Core.
I wanted to find out if we talk about same thing, details are pretty much important in this kind of negotiation and we all would like to avoid unnecesary conflict due to misunderstanding in communication and terminology. For some drones are drones, for some word "drone" means anything AI related that is not bound to one place only. Glad we are on same page then.
Second thing, as we said earlier. Details are the key and we could again find ourselves in contradiction and confusion of people because exact location was not specified beforehand. It happens, so we would like to be sure.
And I am glad you find our request reasonable. With that said I believe time for negotiation is over, unless you would like to add more rules and lines. But our final draft will be attached below. Also can you provide is with the account where we can wire credits for drones?
