"Of course! The closest entities that are more intelligent than the AI we're dealing with are all the way back at Toa! That makes the rogue AI both unpredictable and powerful, and that makes it dangerous. Before the physical attack on our command station a few hours ago, and the relentless cyberattacks we're suffering, there many regions of this solar system, especially on this moon, have become irrecoverably infected with hostile nanoweaponry, not to mention the constant memetic attacks on the tunnels, which are more extensive than we first thought. The rogue AI shows absolutely no regard for the Colonial Charter and many of the attacks we're now suffering have obviously be pre-planned a long time in advance."

DreadVolt is halfway down the side of the pit, on an icy ledge. The bottom of the pit is crowded with vehicles, with people running around between them. A small air vehicle has taken off vertically and is now hovering near DreadVolt.

The vehicle is now hovering right about five metres from you. There is a loading ramp at the back that has lowered, with a Chironian in an environment suit calling out to you in a language you do not understand. Every now and again they try shining a small torch at you that flashes rapidly in different colours and brightnesses.
