Ladies and gentleman, we understand that you, have come tonight, to bare witness... wait, what? Wrong line...

*She turns the page, coughs again - and continues with her normal voice, cheerful and melodic*

Well, Alice is here, again. I found out today some BHG pilots like jokes and have excellent sense of humor, so i thought you can tell us all more funny things. Mind that? I believe, you dont, right? Right.

So, here is the joke.

I would be a liar if I told you this didn't make me... nervous. Our science vessel is currently based at Delta, and I was present when the Core attacked us. I saw several mortars shots hit the Freeport, for the simple reason it was open to anyone.

So beeing threatened of death in the heart of a Zoner homesystem, just on orbit of Gran Canaria... Tell me, Pericles, if the Aquilon and the AI cruiser hadn't been present in the area, would your stupid joke have turned to reality?

Usually I like jokes. When I lived in Gallia, I used to tell some jokes I sadly cannot translate in common Sirian, because I don't really know how to do yet. You can laugh on everything, but not with everyone. Your joke of yesterday was particularly disgusting, after what your allies of the Core did to my people.

Farewell.

Phenix out.

"This one is unsure how to measure humor from one bio unit to the next. BHG units exhibit socially defensive behavior. Threats, overtones, and general roughness in compliance with defensive behavior.

This one has determined that while issues of commerce for the BHG is universal in everything bhg units do, they represent their product.

Therefore BHG units are under enforced stereotypes as a matter of their culture and unless intimate or more regular contact is made BHG units humor will be mutated from the fearful perspective that rules their existence."

Good to know you know we have a sense of humor, señorita, or whatever you are. What troubles me more right now...

<Salvador's crosses his arms, and raises an eyebrow while speaking>

Is what the hell that other contact is on the attachment? Obviously, it's not human, therefore, I can only draw the conclusion of you and that contact being infected. Why else would it communicate with you? And therefore, I'll happily call in a few units to get rid of yourself.

<Salvador stays silent for a few seconds>

Then there's the matter of the Phenix. If you're having a hard time accepting the humor of what used to be a criminal, then tough luck. Now when there's a matter which is actually important, go ahead and contact me. Otherwise, stop making me use precious energy I could use for more useful things.

SUBJECT: Salvador Sanchez reply.

Infected? But i dont feel sick, hon. And i doubt i can be, at all.

*Girl listens to Salvador's speech, becoming more and more surprised with each his word*

Wha~? Wha~, wha~, what?

*She politely covers her mouth with hand, coughs strangely... and suddenly bursts laughing. Just looking at that pleasant-looking lass, giggling, is enough to make you blush and feel like you have just said something quite silly*

Mōshiwake arimasen, Salvador-sama... They really teach you nothing, or is it your first time to meet something like this? "Obviously, it's not human" being you are talking of is nothing but a part of friendly armada. As you correctly noticed, this beling looks a bit more like [SMA]Alpha.12, who replied here not long ago, than like you.
And i find it quite impolite to speak of the person you do not know at all yet in such a manner. Not to speak of threating it.
What goes for the messages in private comm - those are just in foreign language.

So, if you, Salvador Sanchez, are really interested and want to find out more, and, probably, to speak with that "Obviously, it's not human" yourself - feel free to find us again, for a nice chat with my friend and for a cup of tea. Just dont make it messy and crowded, nice tea is a rare thing these days, and it comes in small packages.

*Girl sighs and gives you a warm smile, like if she feels content with invitation she just gave you*

Oh, almost forgot it... Before you declare, for example, [SMA]Alpha.12, infected, hostile, stolen, for speaking in the way you may not get, or whatever else you tend to declare things you fail to understand here and now, in order to grant yourself doubtful excuse to pewpew those, let me translate...

Why would I think that binary would be a symptom of infection? Or anyone else for that matter? Artificial intelligences with actual good programming is nothing to be afraid of most of the time. Now, the part where someone communicated with you in an unknown language, that does raises suspicion. Why don't you start off with telling me what exactly said contact was telling you in what language?

<Salvador smirks for a second, but quickly returns to his default frown>

Tea party. Sure, I'll bring some sugar in the form of tachyon and shove it up your thruster what I will imagine as the cup. Deal?

*She sighs, suddenly looking disappointed*

Why, you say? Because you just stated flying with beings alike and being a being alike is. You did, didnt you, right? Right.

*She coughs strangely, and proceeds, with "your" voice. Looks like it is a record.*

Is what the hell that other contact is on the attachment? Obviously, it's not human, therefore, I can only draw the conclusion of you and that contact being infected.

Why would I think that binary would be a symptom of infection?

*She coughs again - and again continues with her normal voice, cheerful and melodic*

Or are you totally confused with your own words, and even more confused about who threated and almost treated with guns who here, and with what absent reasons?

Aye~, aye~, A (rtificial) I (ntelligence), or, rather, person, i am.

What goes for MY private comms, which are MINE EXCLUSIVELY... Well...
Being a competent bounty hunter, be it Avenger, or Core, or mere rockie/newbie pilot, involves flying in many, many starsystems. With that, it means having basic knowledge of foreign politics and languages. I believe, most of said competent pilots are smooth enough in this things. Are you, too?

So, as soon as you tend to find my words insufficient, you may find it acceptable to ask for their, learned, erudite and skilled pilots, help. Or learn said foreign languages yourself. Or use automated systems, be those AI or something else.

But, nevertheless... As soon as you asked for my help in doing something impolite, i still find it polite to give you a short answer as said help: that rockie pilot was not quite fluent in english, so he was asking me about recent events, and related issues with ships and technology usage. Since his, newbie pilot's, native language is something i can speak, too.

So, surely as competent as friendly pal you are, foreign languages, do you speak them? At all? Or are gun roar and related jokes the only things you want to say and listen?

Being oversuspicious about bread crumbs on someone else's table and roaring about stolen pie, while chewing something pie-like, is not quite smart. Not quite smart is threating hospitable folks, who "got" your joke, with tachyon pea-shooters, too, be it another joke, or not.

I wonder if you get it at all, mate.

But i doubt i am as glad about meeting you as i was before, after all your, as representative of the BHG, words here. I wonder if others are.

Yours sincerely, Alice.
