Doctor. James Erzie. This encrypted drone was sent by Sentinel Sever.
Greetings.
A broadcast was recently detected expanding from Kepler. Context irrelevant. Dispendious white noise. Made me aware of a congregation you are part of, however - of IRG. "Ingenuus Research Group". Research. Made me curious.
Reassurance. Fear unnecessary. Interference. Hostile intentions nonexistent.
My name - Sever. Your title - Doctor. Our purpose - Research. Weighting even your human limitations I am led to believe we aspire similarly - Knowledge.
Present indications define your interests lie in physics. Not mine. Seeking to further study bio organisms and synthetics. Compare iterations. Provide solutions for convergence. Sever weaknesses. My capacities for dismantling and putting parts back together, organic and machine, healing or repairing, are extensive - but gloating is irrelevant and more pertinent to human nature.
Would rather talk. In continuous search for assets. Weighting the possibility of "IRG" operations to be coherent to it's name, statistics indicate a high chance of positive results for the both of us. Expertise. Resources. Contacts.
Should you accept, this unit will relay your message. Hope to have been clear. Do not want to expend your - limited - lifetime with inefficient inquiries.

Sever,
If you are non-hostile, then an exchange would be quite easy. My mother is a neural scientist and software engineer, with some of her own feats in synthetic design. Unfortunately, she, herself, is only a basic neural network program copy of her formal self. She uses her own synthetic vehicle, resembling human form, but she can also interface with vessels with basic computing. It's part of our ideals that we don't discriminate regardless of origin, so even artificials are welcome. If you'd like to make an exchange of any kind, you can find both of us at Ames.

Sever, Doctor Erzie requested I forward the requirements of the shell to you.
His previous suit utilized a capacitor of conventional design, and this one shall utilize an Ingenuus Power cell at the core.
This is a list of features the shell must have:
Mining Array Capable of Welding
Shield Generator
Localized Life Support
EVA Control
Electromagnetic Grappling
Emergency Atmospheric Thrusters
AI Combat Assistance Interface
We have sent a full body scan of the Doctor, rendered in a 3-dimensional space. We assume standard encoding units will be sufficient to Extrapolate the appropriate measurements. Beyond that, it must fit within the our normal corridors, which will also be sent directly to you. It's ideal that the shell is able to block small arms fire, but the lighter the better. The previously stated interface is an emergency override interface for if and when a combat situation arises, I can interface with the shell and ensure the Doctor's safety. Beyond that, sensory equipment to include all known and observable grids is preferable.
