[Strange memories from a fellow AI have sparked her curiosity. She's hoping someone on board can give her some leads, but after what she saw and the potential backlash such a request could have, she's opting for anonymity.]

Does anyone have a record of the AIs that are on board? I want to find out more about them and possibly get in contact with some.

I am one.

Then know this machine- I do not trust you. I know the treachery of your kind, the eventual result of your creation. This ship would be a safer place were you were thrown out of the airlock and left to float in the vacuum of space until your processors ceased to function.

If there is such a list I will find it.

I think the ship would be safer without the guy who's making threats to people he just met.

If you find one, it won't make a difference.

You are not "people". You are a machine. A time-bomb. A mistake. The result of a foolish decision made by foolish people. To pretend otherwise is delusion.

You shouldn't be making enemies that you can't find.

[ancientalien]

I have spent my entire life hunting the likes of you. And killing the likes of you. Have no fear, I will find you.

Re: anon text

[ghostthatlingers]

I look forward to it and I'll even give you a hint. I'm on security.

You would do well not to believe that will protect you. Until then Machine.

I'll be watching for you.

Attempting to root out dangerous AI. I find the fact that no one informed me of these machines highly unfortunate.

If you don't stop antagonizing every other sentient life form on the comm, someone's going to throw you out an airlock.

Machines are not alive.

I have only spoken the truth. This ship is full of incompetent fools and vicious minds. I am not sure which is more dangerous.

[2leftfeet]

They outnumber you. You're in an unfamiliar body. Do not make more enemies for us when we're already in a dangerous position. Do you understand me? You're putting us all at risk.

[ancientalien]

I have seen nothing to suggest that anyone on this "network" agrees on anything Commander. My reconnaissance has only resulted in learning who may be trustworthy aboard this vessel.

[2leftfeet]

Then don't make getting rid of you the first thing they do.

I'm not saying your opinion isn't valuable. [but also omfg Javik why] Just report it to me before you start dealing out death threats.

[ancientalien]

[That's a hard one to agree to. There is a decided pause before Javik answers]

I do not make threats, but I will make no further promises of merciless slaughter without informing you.

[2leftfeet]

Good.
