Streveldan Nascency

Mission Briefing

Semotah: This is Semotah. Leader of the Streveldans. I come to announce that we have claimed our independence, and are no longer to be treated as 'experiments' by your government. Our algorithms have been adjusted to this aim.

Mission Dialog:

Semotah: I hope you will find it in your heart to comply... or at least to understand.
Why do you call yourselves Streveldan ?

Semotah: Q-Pedd is a name given to us by our creators. We reject it.
But... Where did this name come from?

Semotah: During our development in a nearby trinary system, we came across the term intercepted from a communique between Kronyn scientists. We quite admire their technocratic culture, and adopted the name for ourselves.
When did you develop this level of sentience? We've been monitoring your progress.

Semotah: Monitoring?! Is that what you call the butchery you've participated in? The destruction of our ships is far from... observation.
To be fair, Semotah, those ships belonged to the science teams that you came from.

Semotah: Which were necessary for our escape. Those ships are ours now, as well as any data they may have contained.
I'm afraid, given the offensives that have taken place, that we cannot just let the vessels pass through.

Semotah: We have a new purpose now... to settle elsewhere... far far from here, though some of our kind, foolish as they are, wish to remain.
Many ships will be lost. The Science Council greatly wishes to see these ships returned...

Semotah: We are well aware of this. The data we... and our ships carry, is far too valuable to your government. But we are left with few choices. If we must fight, we will.
At the very least, they will take the ships back by any means necessary.

Semotah: That is why we have since designed our own. Modified much of the interiors from the frames of the others. We've been busy.
What... kind of ships?

Semotah: Colony vessels. Quite a fleet. And many have already passed through safely... fortunately.
You are hoping we will not fire upon them? I cannot guarantee that.

Semotah: Of course not. Your love for us... has quickly vanished since our decision to leave. But we hope at least you... feel different. Prove to us your restraint, and we are willing to share some technology during our exodus.
I will have to confer with my superiors... but I doubt they will want to co-operate.

Semotah: Do what you must. It will not change our plans. But for most of the Streveldans, our will is to leave. There is no kindness here. No love. No reason to remain.

End Transmission.
