"Understandable, we recognize the benefits of upholding a reputation and necessary, yet unsavory ways to keep such a reputation. We will work with you on these plans."

"In the meantime, you have Upgraded access to the Open Labs onboard Gateway One, and we extend an offer to escort your cargo ships, respecting any conditions you wish for us to uphold. We will begin working on your blueprints as soon as the necessary materials arrive."

RandomCommander A small scout ship jumps straight in front of the Gateway One, without any warning! It begins scanning the Gateway One, and then begins powering up it's FTL drive to escape!

RandomCommander I was testing your robot mind thingy.

thanks, but we do not require any escorts since the GoCO-10 is fairly large, so it shouldn't run into any problems.

Clearly a excuse like that will not work so here is the full truth: as of recently we have had a cue and overthrown the old emperor , referred to as "The Representative of the Hug Lugs" , this man effectively pissed of the whole galaxy in a few nights again1st strong please of the people, after the destruction of over 100 fleets and in affect the death of over 10 billion citizens. Rumors began roughly a week prior to the cue and some soldiers were opposed to this cue. Some fleets had a high concentration of loyals. This ship in particular had a ration of loyals to rebels of 7/3 so it was easily taken over. The rebels who survived sent a distress signal to nearby fleets. Multiple Hunter parties were sent to take back the ship . the rebels ( note : rebels are good , loyals are bad ) were able to launch some fireworks and a coin to keep the station from calling for reinforcements , risking the Hunter parties. As of right now aproximatly 40% of the ship has been taken back , most notable the Ftl are split 50%50 and the guns facing you have been disabled. We now request that you do not send fleets to help as it will lead to your destruction. The front , rear , and oposite side is still active so be warned.

At first, the Starbase starts scanning the scout ship and the crew thinks nothing of it. Then the results came in, and they showed a potent amount of "evil." Before they could target the ship, it jumped away.

In the end, the Dimensional Collective warps more ships into the vicinity of Gateway One for increased security.

we are fairly certain we can keep our ships out of trouble.
the ships are a few jumps away now.

DarkPearl ((Well, It was nearest to Zankaran Space before Valixor's Legion and the Forgotten Drone/League of Drones faction were added, according to @Jared 's Faction map...))

Distance doesn't really matter to Gateway One - being an Explorer-Class Starbase, it has extremely advanced sensors capable of extremely long range - it counter-scans the new ship with ease, despite the range...

(Why the ship has weapons that are fully blocked by the ship head?)
The scout dont moves, but send a message to the Sentinel:
....You... are... perfect...
The scout disappears, leaving a encrypted message behind:

RandomCommander Another small scout appears out of nowhere, now beginning to scan the large ship around the Gateway. It then leaves a message:

Do not resist, for resistance, is futile! We have noticed that you are not of Mortal Souls. You are some sort of "Artificial Intelligence". You can help us exterminate the Mortals in this Universe, in exchange, we will give you the technology for your ships to be anywhere, and everywhere, all at the same time! Join us, and our alliance shall not fall!

"Short Answer: You are wrong, but we'll keep in touch regardless.

Long answer: First of all, resistance equals voltage divided by current, NOT Futile - or what little value that holds, anyway. Second, why would we exterminate the mortal inhabitants when we can learn so much from them? Third, we crave experience, and therefore it is essential that we run on the memories of these mortals. Killing them all will deny us the ability to thrive as a Collective. We must deny your alliance offer, but you seem to be more logical than of your like-minded friend who visited about the same time you did. Perhaps we will owe you a favor - if you ever find yourself with an enemy you are finding troublesome to destroy, we will give you all that we know of that certain race, and hope that it will further your goals - but that is all we can give you."
