Today I was doing a supply run for Falster Station, and when I was passing by Aland Shipyards, this Artificial Inteligence Cruiser was standing beside the station.
It showed itself friendly towards me, and initiated a brief conversation. While at it, I took a quick scan of the vessel:
It claimed to be on some orders to patrol the system and defend lawful traders against pirates. I didnt exactly understood who it was that programed the ship with these orders, but I will attach next a transcript of the communication logs. It appeared a little curious, at first, then eager to explain what it was and what was its mission...

Well, at least it acted friendly, but I imagined you would like to know about it, and keep an eye open for it.
That's it. Mac Taylor, out....
