I have a fairly terrifying issue to bring forward to you. Two of our ships have encountered an autonomous combat vessel that claimed to have killed its creators.
It then proceeded to work for itself and hunt targets according to an arbitrary sense of "killing those that deserve it". We are requesting immediate action on this.

[02.01.2022 23:17:36] B|-BCV-Endeavour: Reactivation?
[02.01.2022 23:17:51] ANGEL-09: I am an android.
[02.01.2022 23:18:03] B|-BCV-Endeavour: Huh.
[02.01.2022 23:18:45] ANGEL-09: A problem?
[02.01.2022 23:19:34] B|-BCV-Endeavour: No just we don't have any of those around.
[02.01.2022 23:20:02] B|-BCV-Endeavour: So you're able to work unsupervised? Is that safe?
[02.01.2022 23:20:11] ANGEL-09: *sigh*
[02.01.2022 23:20:18] ANGEL-09: Look.
[02.01.2022 23:20:38] ANGEL-09: I am able to do what I want to do.
[02.01.2022 23:20:55] B|-BCV-Endeavour: And they gave you a combat ship?!
[02.01.2022 23:21:29] ANGEL-09: We can say that.
[02.01.2022 23:22:13] ANGEL-09: And don't worry, I won't do anything to you.
[02.01.2022 23:22:25] B|-BCV-Endeavour: Is your owner having insurance for this?
[02.01.2022 23:22:32] ANGEL-09: ...
[02.01.2022 23:22:53] ANGEL-09: You hit a sensible subject.
[02.01.2022 23:23:25] B|-BCV-Endeavour: They can't afford insurance and send out combat robots?!
[02.01.2022 23:24:26] ANGEL-09: My conceptors were in a private company to make androids like me.
[02.01.2022 23:25:32] B|-BCV-Endeavour: And they have licensed combat androids and are insured against accidents and... whatever you do?
[02.01.2022 23:26:09] ANGEL-09: They don't exist anymore.
[02.01.2022 23:26:52] B|-BCV-Endeavour: Oh so... we could claim this unowned property?
[02.01.2022 23:27:51] ANGEL-09: They wanted to see what I was able to do... So they forced me to destroy other androids and because of that...
[02.01.2022 23:28:15] ANGEL-09: I put a end on this.
[02.01.2022 23:29:05] ANGEL-09: Basicaly, I killed them just before I went offline.
[02.01.2022 23:29:35] B|-BCV-Endeavour: Well in that case that ship is an unclaimed wreck and we will claim it and all equipment on board.[...]
We can of course offer the entire recording but we felt this piece would be most important to you. It resisted recovery and is currently on the run.
