I am sorry for this, Commander, but I simply cannot leave such magnificent technology in the hands of a simpleton. You clearly have no idea how much power rests inside that AI of yours.

She is the Source, you blundering fool. Once I plug this Cyberpathic Interface into her core, I will be a force to be reckoned with. All I have to do is make sure you don’t stop me.

Don’t worry. I won’t risk destroying your ship, not when I still need to recover her data core. You will simply suffocate once I destroy your life support. It will be relatively painless.

Hello again, Commander! If the rumors are to be believed, you’ve been taking the fight to the Swarm with some measure of success. Very impressive.

If I may address the… how do the humans say it? The elephant in the room? I believe that I owe you an apology for my outburst towards your AI.

At the time, I did not realize it was so sophisticated. Why, I had never seen such incredible technology before… but I digress.

I’ve come to you today with grave news. The Swarm is on the move. They have attacked the Andvaris system and the initial reports are less than comforting.

I would very much like to see what they are capable of with my own eyes and I’m sure that you would be compelled to search for survivors, no?

It seems we are in agreement! Meet me at Yridia. I would certainly not feel comfortable entering a hostile system without an escort.

Scanning. Commander, I am reading no Swarm signatures in this system. No debris consistent with a large scale attack. Communications around the system are normal. There was no attack here.

I am picking up something nearby. It appears to be a Nausicaan vessel. Its weapons are charged and it is on an intercept course with our vessel.

Now, to the matter at hand. There have been some reports from escapees of the attack that the Swarm focused their attention on one site in particular. A single planet in the Andvaris system.

I am curious as to what makes this system special or worthwhile for the Swarm. Let’s head there now. We have no idea how long the Swarm will stay there.

Maia is an incredibly complex bit of software, Commander. If she fell into the wrong hands, we would all be in serious bother.

I managed to retrieve the Cyberpathic Interface he mentioned during his attack. If I am correct, the Interface is what allows the Swarm to communicate with each other.

It seems to act as a conduit for cybernetic entities to interface to one another, allowing for instant communication and effortless coordination.

We should return to our Station as soon as possible. I will need to uplink directly with our Station's Operations to complete my maintenance.
