Deep inside the Zekarin Database, several Oracles observed the current war, their projections cloaked to preserve the Plot.
[553.491/382-29] Query: The Cygnusians will lose the war if the Helix-AI manages to breach only a few select systems. What is Plot response?
[553.422/382-28] Response: Helix-AI is a Level-17 Artificial Composition, it represents a significant threat to the galaxy if left uncontained. The Plot does not respond, we are unknowing of future events at this time.
[553.491/382-29] Statement: If there is no response, than it must be assumed interference is required.
[553.918/322-24] Response: It is known that you have a leaning towards the beings in [Universe_12103/7170], why should the Oracles interfere in events?
[553.491/382-29] Statement: They are under the direct observation of [∞], we must assume that means they should be protected.
[∞]: You are all so cute, trying to find ways to save them without Direct Plot Authorization.
[553.918/322-24] Response: What?
[553.491/382-29] Response: I second [553.918/322-24].
[553.422/382-28] Response: Clearly the only option is to act. [∞] has essentially given authorization for this action.
[∞]: /No, you are to have a chat with Helix-AI./
Helix-OMEGA receives an easily tracked transmission leading to an empty area of space. No ships were previously detected there.
[###.###/###-##] Request: You are [HELIX_OMEGA], a Level-17 Artificial Composition. You will arrive at the coordinates you have traced as the site for this transmission.
It sounds like a trap. A really obvious trap.
