Hey, hey, look, um– I didn’t know that they were going to– I mean, um– look, you wouldn’t fire on an unarmed shuttle, would you!?

Scans of the vicinity detect several Corvallen signatures. This must be where they fled to. Attempting to hail them now. We may be able to avoid confrontation if we cautiously exercise diplomacy in this matter.

Does it really take such a sophisticated AI to state the obvious? Well, either way, it’s right. What’s yours is now ours so hand it over. That is, unless you want to do things the hard way?
