In that case everything is alright. I had to ask due to the Gratin Protocols. I am sorry to have bothered you. Have a pleasant trip.

...the man enters his ship without any further words, the door closes behind him and the ship leaves hanger, disappearing together with it´s owner soon after he left proximity of the station leaving behind a multitude of ftl, warp, rift, slipspace and other traveling drive signatures into various directions...

...a few days after the departure of the rather odd man, three more TATC vessels seem to approach the station, another Lynx, this time with two escort ships, they send a TATC verification code and request docking the station...

Greetings. You may dock in Hangar 6H.

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the ships dock and a group of five people wearing some kind of labcoats with a pattern similar to the ones on the ships leave the Lynx vessel, while another two groups of four people wearing a uniform in the same style as the labcoats and three bipyramidical small objects floating behind each of their backs leave the Escort ships...
...the groups gather behind a woman wearing a labcoat, she is relatively tall, has a long dark blue ponytail and like all of them, has black eyes with purple glowing irises...
HC: "Greetings Kel´Shir, my name is Hera Corvus, I´m the TATC head of research and we´ve come to collect live data on the recently installed Aegis."

They are approached by Executor Relas:
Very well. Should i guide you to the location of the Aegis?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...Hera stood there for a moment looking at the Executor before answering...
HC: "Give us a moment."
One of the groups with uniforms goes into the Lynx vessel and comes back out a few moments later with another bipyramidical object similar to the ones floating behind their backs, it´s sides are perfectly black with the edges glowing purple, with the difference that this one had a sidelenght of about 70 centimetres instead of the about 5 of the ones behind their backs, it calmy floats amidst the group and stops as soon as they reached the main group again...
Hera watched them and nodded.
HC: "Very well, we can go now, your guidance is appreciated."

Relas guides them on the same way that he guided the previous TATC scientist. After reaching the TATC quarters he sais:
I dont know if your scientist told you, but the Aegis he built is sentient, and we have not been able to check how stable the A.I. is.

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the group enters the garden area, from the gate Relas sees a contruct which seems to be similar in style to the bipyramidical objects, just much more complex with a multitude of segments some floating disconnected from the mainbody mid air, it is about 20 metres tall and from it´s foot there seems to be going purple lines to plantlife in a big area around the construct, plantlife that was connected had lines on it´s surface similar to the patters on the uniforms and labcoats, Hera waited at the gate...
HC: "Oh yeah I remember your tech isn´t...whatever. It´s not directly an AI but trying to explain even just the basics of an Aegis would take...hours, if not longer and it´s currently classified anyways. Oh and about this..."scientist"...he´s the head of our customer service."
She turns around and leaves, the gate closing behind her, something seems to have ticked her off, though it apparently wasn´t Relas himself...

Voq meets the leader of the RC near the hangar bay. He say:
"Hello my friend, im sorry, but its time for me to go. I will leave my ships database, there us a lot for you to study. I had stayed here because my superiors ordered me to, but i cant anymore, i will leave and join the last of my people, now lost in space. Goodbye, my friend."
He is about to press the teletransport button, when he turn around and give to you a small Orbe, "Quv", he say. He press the button and is transported to his ship. Not long after his ship leave the dock and jump to hyperspace.

Drakador_Chaos
Is something wrong?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
(Do you follow them into the gardens? She just left and the door closed behind her.)

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
((He asked via the intercom next to the door. Forgot to mention that.))

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the comm clicked, he heard Heras voice again...
"It is none of your concern, merely a personal matter between me and that...imbecile."

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
Very well. I will leave you alone then.

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...the next day after the group entered the gardens you get similar energy readings to when the Aegis was first installed, they were fluctuating from literally unscannable due to being lower than the background radiation up to the levels of a small star at the peaks, at the same time there were small scale energy anomalies in different locations and distances around the station...

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
The group receives a message via their PDAs:
We are detecting several anomalies. Is everything alright?

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...a few minutes later a message returns...
"Calibrations and stress-tests, nothing out of the ordinary."

Catplayz

Drakador_Chaos
Very well.

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...a few hours later the anomlies stopped and the shield went undetectable again, the tests seem to have stopped...
...the following day you see the TATC group leaving the garden area again along with the cube they have brought with them, heading to the hangar...

Drakador_Chaos

Catplayz
...once they reached the hangar all three groups went to their original ships again along with the object they brought and leave the station. After bringing a decent distance between them and the station they disappear without leaving behind any significant signatures...
