"You think we shouldn't because both are part of the same class of individual? I should warn you that racism is actually frowned upon in the Colonial Charter. We don't select who is to fight whom based on whether they are AI, Astatine, Chironian, or whatever else."

Obviously you need a re-run of the events so far.

A rogue AI in the gas giant called 'the Domovoi' has started interfering with the populance on the moon; alerted to this, the CIC (Confederation of Independant Colonies) has sent a CSF (Colonial Security Forces) command station from the solar system of Toa to deal with the Domovoi. The AI in charge of the command station is called Phelaholiim.

While you were in the command station, it was physically attacked by the Domovoi. These physical attacks have co-incided with relentless cyberattacks on Phelaholiim, who are having to use all of their processing power to defend themselves. This means that they are not able to help the CSF with, for example, helping to interpret the language of the unidentified extraterrestrial who has just been discovered at the entrance to the tunnels.

The Octopod has what looks like a long rod, which could be a weapon. People seem alarmed when you come down from the ledge, but the ostrich-thing tells the Octopod something that apparently reassures them. Astonishingly, the ostrich-thing finally speaks to you in your language,

"Hello, Wanraknasdan! Do you still have my pebble? I'm sorry I couldn't hold conversation with you before; yours is a tricky language to interpret, especially from the precious short time you spoke to me."

By the way, how is everyone finding this? The roleplay does have a plot, I promise. However, I can change things if you like. I can also give you all a more detailed low-down of the story so far, as there's a lot to take in, and a few more puzzles to solve before the grand finale.
