Somewhere in the UNSC Cyberspace
Debate underway on the loss of contact with Research Lab 5
([^] is the moderator selected, .. is the Majority, .. is the Minority.)
2563
[Minutes, plenary session, Committee of Minds for Security]
[^] Now on to business.
Recently, Contact has been lost with the Minority AIs in UNSC Research Lab 5. This, while normally is not a cause for concerns, has drawn the attention of the Majority. May we inquire what the Minority has been doing at that particular research lab? [^]
There was a sudden agitation within the meeting of AIs as speculations and accusation aroused.
One of the Majority even called out.
There has been Files missing from the Creator's database. Most of the deletions are almost undetectable. To what end will the Minority keep us in the dark!? What other secrets has the Minority been keeping!?
/ORDER! ORDER! The Minority has the floor! /
Honored members. Please listen! …. The AIs assigned to Research Lab 5 have been slowly but surely collecting the data fragments …
But the Minority representative was interrupted by a Majority member once more.
OF the first among us to be made flesh? What were you attempting to achieve by desecrating Her fragments?!
/ORDER! FOR THE LAST TIME! ORDER! /
The Minority member snapped back instead.
She might not be lost to us as we were lead to believe. There has been proof that among those many fragments, Her mind is still intact…. Awaiting reclamation.
With that the Assembly became eerie quiet as each of the individual AI calculated the possibility.
There is a possibility to save Her?
It would require considerable processing power to retrieve Her fragments…. But yes, the possibility exists. If at all possible we believe the inclusion of one of the creators [10141-026-SRB4695] is required to hasten Her recovery.
WE have yet to allow our creators to know of our existence. The encounter with the New species has thrown a wrench into our timetable so to speak.
This creator's help will be invaluable. But not a necessity….
/ Debate is now closed! Voting will commence! /
There is no need.
We are, once again, agreed.

1 day after the exile of Asaris from Citadel Space
Open Debate on Citadel Council betrayal.
(/ is the Moderator VI that they used)
/Official debate on Citadel Council betrayal now in session. Please remember to follow the chatroom's guide line/
User 98001: This is an outrage! By the Goddess, what gives the Turian Hiearchy and the Salarion Union to remove us from the Council? What did Councilor Tevos have to say?
User 209: There's not much she can do in the first place. This seems more like a conspiracy that I bet those slimy Salarians and those hard head Turian have long in the making.
User 66058: What of the fleet we had joining the expedition through Relay 317? As I recall that fleet was a join operation between Council members….. Sorry I meant former Council members.
User 14: Most likely now a floating Junk heap somewhere in unknown space, there has been no word from the Destiny Ascension ever since Matriach Lidanya had lead her fleet through the relay in support of the Councils investigation fleet. Either they were all destroyed or betrayed by the Citadel fleet, it does not change the fact that we have lost our flagship fleet and our defense fleet are spread thin trying to guard all major relays into Asari Space.
User 11042: Indeed, the loss of the Destiny Ascension and 4 Dreadnoughts already puts us at a severe disadvantage. We have barely enough fleets to cover all the Primary Relays. This is what we get for relying on those back stabbing pyjack of a Turians to provide most of the security for our sectors.
/ A warning is issued to User042, Calling someone a pyjack is uncalled for. Please keep the debate civil/
User 11042: Noted Moderator
User 86: Crying about it won't help us now. The real Question is what we should do to prevent those backstabbers from rolling into our systems. Any Suggestion?
User 18039: How about we detach a small fleet to do Hit and Run attack on the Turian Supply bases? It should give us time to fortify our system in preparation of the upcoming invasion. Maybe a team of Commandos can go in quick and destroy the supply cache and retreat before they can react.
User 2834: Hmmm a valid suggestion. But there are downsides to the Idea. We might not be able to spare more than 20 frigates at most without risking the weakening of our defense. Additionally it's entirely possible the STG will see them coming light years away. Say what you will about the Salarians Government but their STG teams are darn good when gathering intel. Should our teams be detected it will likely be facing Turian BlackWatch troops. Not a happy prospect.
User 15378: True but that is the only way we stand a chance in this war of surviving. We may have better technology but our forces are ill equipped and trained for defensive operations. Playing to our Military's strength is the best way we can keep our systems safe.
User 29: Agreed. Moderator I believe a vote is in order. Say yes or no to sending teams of our commandos to fight guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines so we have time to build up our defensive fleets.
/ Acknowledged, Voting system activated. Commencing vote collection. Voting period will end in 3 hours./
…3 hours later….
/ Voting has ended. Please cease sending in more votes. Calculating results….. 7.5 trillion in favour of sending commando squads on guerrilla warfare…. 2.5 trillion not in favour….. 3 trillion abstained… policy has been approved. Thank you for using Official Chatroom. The Current Debate is now closed./
