Camera footage shows a group of life forms sitting at the table
Officer Cole'lii "It's been 2 weeks ever since Inanis send a transmission to this laptop, It is safe to assume that he's refusing the request that I made."
? "This is probably a very smart move for him, though that machine that he refers to has attempted to data mine some of our servers again."
Officer Cole'lii "Good grief, again with that machine! First, the the glitchy video footage of Inanis getting beat into a pulp from a unidentified bipedal life form, which was installed in the hard drive of that researcher's computer without him knowing it, and now this. I sure hope Gerald is done with his expedition into finding the potential maker of this machine."
The doors suddenly opened quietly as a human walked in, The other small life forms at the table looked a little bit surprised, but also kind of pleased in his presence except for one that seemed to be quite annoyed
?? "Ah, perfect timing Gerald. Did you find any information about this machine?"
The tall life form said as he sat down into a small chair
??? "Really? I guess that's what we get for trying to rely on a human to do an Avali's job."
?? "Hey don't be mean, Gerald tried his best. Remember his home planet is still recovering from the attack of the Ruin."
??? "The Ruin? Oh yes, that giant tactical beast that almost crushed Terra into an asteroid field."
Officer Cole'lii "I thought we agreed not to mention that, thing. Anyway, can you elaborate on what you found?"
Gerald "Well my first thought was the Apex, but the only self-aware AI that the Menonog regime was working on is improving the algorithm of Big ape. The Novakids have no interest in extra-dimensional A.I. interceptors. The Florans don't even know what A.I. is. As for the glitch, they kind of, drawn their swords towards me on asking about such a machine, they said "We do not maketh such witchcraft!" I had to take their word for it, otherwise they would cut me into ribbons. As for the avians, the only kind of A.I. that they make is simple ones to defend their temples. The only true lead I had was when I talked with a Hylotl librarian. She said that it was possible though It will require a very advanced algorithm to do that, an algorithm that far to succeeds our current understanding of A.I. and it would be difficult to determine such an A.I. would be rogue, especially if you don't know It's original purpose."
??? "At least you're good at finding who didn't build that machine, human."
Officer Cole'lii "So no information at all? He might as well be from another dimension after all? Could you find any information about this virus that he mentioned."
Gerald "I got the same results. No one even heard of the Thanaclinerain plague. Or any pathogen that has a near resemblance to its description."
?? "Damn, this is actually quite scary, if it is a rogue A.I., then we are being played as bunch of fools, Inanis probably never existed in the first place. If it finds out that we have cybernetic implants in our brains. It was only a matter of time of before it will try to fry our brains out by causing our neuro nexus implants to overheat."
The small life form wearing a fancy robe-like cape slams his fist onto the table
Officer Cole'lii "Ugh, if only Inanis If that is his real name, had replied to Rhauno's final message, we will be able to trace down the point of origin of the transmissions, But with this radio silence there's basically nothing we can do. How would we be able to counteract a potential rogue A.I. if we know nothing about it?"
Gerald "I have an idea, All we have to do is-"
The taller life form got interrupted by a small one who seemed to be having a very bad day.
??? "Oh great! Just what we needed. The human now has an idea. I wonder if it's going to be even more reckless than the last one."
Gerald "Oh quiet you, this one is nothing, like my idea of trying to negotiate with the cultists since some of them were human. Historically, before the big space race there was a organization called NASA, what made them interesting in the history books is that they engineer for the anticipation for something going wrong, they check and double check and even have backup systems if things were to go wrong. They even simulate it's every worst case scenario that could happen. My idea is just simply build a custom-made server with that engineering philosophy to isolate that A.I."
??? "I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I might actually be doable, the Nexus already has a lot of top of the line cyber security systems all we have to do is put it in hardware that is far enough from our own information grid to actually contain it, good idea human."
?? "And that's why we keep Gerald around, has stubborn and reckless he can get, he can also quite brilliant."
Officer Cole'lii "I'll try to inform some A.E.F. engineers to build a very complex satellite server network, thanks Gerald."
Gerald "Anytime you adorable little space raptors, But I have something to ask you, that security camera is being a little bit wonky, it's twitching every few seconds. Is it supposed to do that?"
??? "What!? This is a very private meeting!!! I specifically told the security officers to deactivate the cameras in here."
?? "Good grief! They will get fired for eavesdropping this conversation!"
Officer Cole'lii "indeed- wait a minute..."
All the life forms started to look at the camera with profound suspicion
Officer Cole'lii "How, do we know for sure it's the security guys?"
Gerald "Holy crap. It's the machine!"
??? "Stand back!!! I'll take care of it!"
The small life form then took out what appear to be a pistol and pointed it at the camera
??? "Let's see how your processors handle this, toaster!!!"
The lifeform then pulled a trigger. There was a loud bang before the camera footage cuts off
