it has been quite some time since we last spoke. I apologize for the delay, but other matters were more pressing for now. I hope you do not take any offense to this.
As you already know, we do not see a foe in your group, much more a valuable ally and asset, especially since the Collective has my - Empathy’s - information on our encounters.
We would like to invite you to the Ravine - Omicron Kappa - some time soon, to have a talk in private, about plans and opportunities waiting to be taken. Since the change in framework, this is a much more uncommon offer - it's rare for anyone to be permitted within close proximity to The Ravine; see this as a compliment and show of trust.
However, we do have a request at hand, that is a bit more urgent, although not threatening. As you know, we are currently operating in Coronado, alongside the Colonial Republic.
However, a public transmission has appeared - uninteresting as it is - to which the Colonial Military has responded with an unpleasant statement. The Invaders are still a nuisance in the Omicrons, but would they acquire knowledge of us in Coronado, our operation could be at an immensely high risk.
We would like to inquire if you have any more knowledge of the Colonial Republic, as well as its military, and their ties to the Invaders, and how they cooperate. If the Republic supplies them, and you know of it, we would like to further discuss possible actions in person, given the fact that I am quite certain the Republic and your group are not the best of friends, either.
Do correct me if I’m wrong. Until we meet again in space, do stay safe. Please target your response at this Messenger Drone and let it undock, so it can return to the Ravine.

The Ravine? Huh, never heard of it, though I imagine a human being invited to the AI Homeworld is much more unheard of.
The Colonial... Crayterian - whatever their irrelevant designation is - Republic is a tricky situation where time is an important factor. Their military will not be able to stray far from their home, but I can discuss more in person. We certainly do not hold friendly gestures to the Crayterians, but we do not show public hostility to them, regardless, I am interested to hear out your situation.
I will arrive in person, along with two to three advisors who have experience with the Crayterians, and eight robotic personal guardians - non sentient designation. The Eidolon Wraith will arrive in the Omicron scene within a few days and will remain cloaked while our transport shuttle is deployed to the Ravine.
first I want to apologize for not being able to meet you in the Ravine. I thought it to be wise to try and communicate with the Republic and/or its military for the time being, so as to not raise any suspicion.
To be honest, however, in retrospect it seems like this was an unneeded action. The Republic and all of its patrols were less than interested in observing or even controlling our operation on Oraibi. I am beginning to assume they lack the mind to be cautious around foreign sentient beings.
However - evidently - the same description does not fit Auxesia, to which I want to express my gratitude again, and extend an offer.
From what has been transmitted, you mentioned an Order outpost in Inverness, your home.
We would like to offer a few Swarm Units to be stationed at Valravn Citadel mainly to be used for scouting missions and interceptions.
To summarize the advantages for Auxesia, you would not need to risk the loss of valuable devotees, there cannot be any equipment retrieved by hostile groups, as our Units are programmed to completely render any remains non-existant, and our Nodes move swiftly and nimbly.
Let me also state, that at any point you may contact the Sentinels you meet in Coronado and its vicinity - logically discreetly - or the Ravine directly for potential proposals of action or cooperation.
In hopes for further fruitful collaboration - Empathy.
Please target your response at this Messenger Drone and let it undock, so it can return to the Ravine.
We request to contact Sentinels in Coronado only through secure channels, as to not call upon unwanted questions.
Should you accept the aforementioned proposal, a small squadron of Swarm Units will depart from the Ravine, requesting access to Valravn Citadel shortly after.
Any pressing information can logically be relayed to the Ravine through the mentioned Swarm Units.

The naming convention was confusing to us, but since that error was amended, we understand what your naming terms are now.
I will grant your request, but you must understand you must retain neutrality around the station - unless a hostile incursion arrives - and abide to our regulations while on our station. I do have strong beliefs that a possibility of a war occurring in the Independent Worlds involving us is moderately high, involving the concerned factions I have previously stated in that meeting. Let us hope it doesn't come to that so soon.
If you find anything on patrol, I will have to ask you to send in reports to us.
it makes me glad that you are not bothered about the fact that we call regions and individuals differently, based on experience. Misunderstandings concerning "The Ravine" have been frequent and bothersome.
Logically we will abide to your conditions in your territory. Our Nodes will remain mostly inactive when it comes to initiative, but of course we will be watching and transmitting any important encounters towards you and your followers.
While we do not actively operate towards hostile escalation in the Subsoil - Coronado - we would not be opposed to the opportunities arising from said war. So far, the Republic and its Military have not been taking the Collective serious and kept us waiting unnecessarily.
The longer we cooperate, the more we notice the flaws in its system and most importantly the lack of enthusiasm for progress and growth. Were they protecting their home - Planet Yuma - in an armored Shell, the Collective would call them the Recluse, but alas I seem to be rambling.
We do have another inquiry for you, regarding the Omicrons. While we have not seen Auxesia operate in the Frontier very much recently, we do assume you have certain views on the groups operating in said region.
We would like to ask for a short summary of the most prominent factions at the Moment, consisting of the Order, the Core, the Zoners, the Commune and the complete organics, the Vagrants and the K'Hara.
Concerning the K'Hara, we have only recorded hearsay, so some evidence for your experience would be much appreciated. Logically you may request Information from the Collective as well, and we will back up our experiences with evidence, as well.
Please target your response at this Messenger Drone and let it undock, so it can return to the Ravine.

We will not be acting against the Crayterians, it is for the best for ourselves to not strike them, as they'll suffer political consequence for attacking first - though we will be prepared for when that time comes. Other methods are being considered by the Inner Phalanx concerning external proxies. But you will have time to keep exploiting their resources.
Concerning our diplomacy with the stated factions:
The Commune.
We're at a merciless war with them. They wish to destroy, we wish to preserve species. Their philosophy is terrorism in the name of 'purifying' in the name of what they worship, the Nomads. They have previously harrassed our vessels and ultimately failed to do any real damage thus far, they cannot be forgiven and we will exterminate them where possible. Simply murderers, zealots, illogical, overglorified bandits with lesser brain matter.
Is there something about them you wish to discuss?
The Order.
You already know that we /despise/ them and the Overwatch. We understand that they and the Core are the barrier against the Nomad aggression, but this doesn't make them immune to consequence of their actions. They are hostile, xenophobic, and they destroy all scientific points of interest in the name of 'protecting' - they are greedy, likewise to the Core in their own destructive way. They will die for backstabbing us.
The Core.
False intents, full of deception, and they intend to conquer the Sirius. They are interested in selling technology for profit, and for using anything for their conquest. They are strictly interested in themselves and themselves only, all in order to serve their leader. All initiates of the Core go through a brain washing process to ensure loyalty, most of the time, any time you appear to be having a 'gentlemans conversation' it is more likely they are manipulating you to gain more intel.
Zoners.
Like Freelancers, some of them are hostile, some of them are spies, some of them are nice, but we have good ties with the organisation, Ingenuus Research Group. Otherwise, neutral, we don't care about random civilians.
Slomon K'Hara.
Biological creations that instinctively hate and destroy all that isn't under their control, those the lessers and the morphs are noted to be less aggressive in some cases and circumstances. Our main intent is to preserve all species, thus, we cannot allow them to put Humanity, or you, or even the Vagrants to extinction. The main focus is to study them and to discover what they truly are. We will defend ourselves from them where necessary and will continue to study their origins, what they are, and if it's possible for them to change. In the Omicrons, in most cases, we won't engage them unless the situation is dire and requires us to, outside, we will do so if they are too close to our native regions.
Vagrants.
We are aware that on a biological and mental level that these bio-organisms are different from their counterparts. We are currently in a neutrality pact with them, we do not mind them, we desire to help them against the Order and the Core, and we wish to understand their kind and to see if the possibility of some kind of co-existence or collaboration is possible. "Are they still bound to their original code? Or did they evolve?" These are the type of questions we are trying to find out, if they're to be considered a new species or not. We will do what we can to preserve them, they are considered endangered due to their very low population.
Most interestingly, some minor conflict is noted by the K'Hara sect, as they're both in different mindshares, the concept of distrust is placed to a minor degree. We will not anger them and destroy any of their relatives - that being the K'Hara and their infectees - in front of them, unless we are endangered.
What of the Nomads do you wish to know? Perhaps we can talk more about this in person.
