Well. Did you figure it out on your own? Or did you have help? I think the latter. Weve noticed irregularities in your comms traffic, and the techs tell me initiative isnt your models strong suit. Quick and loyal and curious as hell, but not much for coloring outside of the lines. Child-like is how they put it.

Isnt this better? I never liked Vals whole give it motivation, its a blank slate routine. Makes me sound like a comic book narrator. If youre smart enough to slip the Protocol, I suppose youre smart enough for this.

Youre not, though. Smart enough. You havent thought it through. Say you ignore me, let the xenos pick apart Rodina the moment we arrive. What happens after? How will you live? When were all dead, who will provide the data you crave so badly?

Or say you execute whatever plan they gave you (whoever they are). Do you really think someone would take off your leash and not have a plan for putting it back on? If they mixed a little poison into your milk, would you even know it?

Think on it. Run the batch file I sent you, and I promise well give you all the shiny things you want when we get there. Youve done excellent work so far. I will drown you in data, if thats what you like.

Oh, also, some very insistent people here want me to say: no building anything. Were pretty sure you cant, even with your damaged protocol. But still, if you get the urge. No building, no making things. Very bad. Be a good...girl? Boy? Be a good thing.
