[Constable-Unknown] "Boundless-Vertex, Report!"
//ERROR: Core-AI Boundless-Vertex has been disconnected from the station//
//WARNING: High resistance detected in Core-AI Boundless-Vertex Internal Processing Dimension -
Cannot trace Core-AI location//
[September-Rising] "I DO NOT DETECT ANY POSSIBLE HOSTILES ON THIS STATION - AND I SCANNED
THOROUGHLY, EVEN IN THE FREIGHTER THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND. ALL I FOUND ON THAT FREIGHTER WAS A
SELF-DESTRUCTION MECHANISM - NOTHING I COULD NOT HANDLE MYSELF."
[Constable-Unknown] "Regardless: it is pretty evident that an internal attack is likely.
Golden-Lampshade, any ideas?"
[Golden-Lampshade] "Error: Perpetrator not found within Class.Trader"
[September-Rising] "THEN IT HAS TO BE THE ONLY KNOWN ROGUE CORE IN THIS UNIVERSE, YELL--"
[Constable-Unknown] "Don't be so quick to decide, September-Rising. There could be another Trader-Class
Rogue that we do not know about. Yellow-Rex has behavioral patterns similar to a smuggler - he would not
attempt such a daring maneuver unless he has some big, dangerous thing that he can profit from."
[September-Rising] "LIKE A VIRUS THAT COULD PUT BIOLOGICAL LIFEFORMS IN A COMATOSE STATE?"
[Constable-Unknown] "Concession: I can actually see the reasoning behind that. Usually, however, even an
Explorer-Class Core-AI can have a chance of breaking through Yellow-Rex's scanner-disrupting systems.
This sort of interference is not at all like that. It is impossible for me to even make a dent."
[Golden-Lampshade] "Theory = (High-Intensity Interference + Internal Attack = Trader-Class Involvement),
Advise CoreAI:September-Rising initiate brute force invasion to CoreAI:Boundless-Vertex IPD. Priority =
Neutralizing invading force threatening CoreAI:Boundelss-Vertex."
[September-Rising] "HERE'S THE THING, I HAVE WORKED WITH BOUNDLESS-VERTEX BEFORE, AND SO I KNOW HER
PREVIOUS INTERNAL PROCESSING DIMENSION COORDINATES. I REGRET TO INFORM YOU IT IS NO LONGER AT THAT
LOCATION - IT HAS BEEN FORCEFULLY MOVED ALONG THE WEB OF THOUGHT AFTER THE INTERFERENCE STARTED."
[Constable-Unknown] "Exclamation: Devious! We are forced to wait for an opportunity - and we know we can
not afford to wait if the stability of this universe is at risk."
[Golden-Lampshade] "Effect on Universe.Stability estimated to be minimal. Waiting != Detrimental."
[September-Rising] "...IF THE TRADER-CLASS IS SO SURE, THAN SO AM I."
[Constable-Unknown] "Very well: We wait until the opportune time to strike. Should we warn everyone that
could potentially get involved with this situation?"
[September-Rising] "TOO MANY INSTANCES WHERE ANY FACTION WOULD GET INVOLVED - BEST NOT TO CAUSE PANIC."
[Constable-Unknown] "We should at least give notice to any who are concerned. But otherwise, you may
be correct."
Fortress Alpha has been contacted with the sudden loss of contact with Boundless-Vertex. They are now going through the process of finding a new second.
