RIGELLIAN SAURIAN COMPACT
Well, more like Full Probationary Membership.
Saurians who go past hunt and eat phase are pretty rare. Nature has a tendency to lock us into a never ending cycle of hunter gatherer.

Kind of like us insectiods. Trapped by flukes of our biology. Like sis and I are trapped by our very own biological makeup.

Still, it seems weird. They really are going back to primitivism?
Oh, come on. I wish they'd stop that.

CYBERNETIC ORGANISM CONSESUS
Eh, that's pretty normal. Let your people flex it a bit, see the edges. It helps them understand that we don't read their minds or anything like that. We're not Big Brother, we're them.

Yeah. Just got back when Rigel pulled a full membership vote. I noticed all the heavy bandwidth use. Well, it would have been heavy bandwidth a few weeks ago, now it's just a notable.

Weird. Turns out we've been running on one of the emergency channels since the Glassing. We're being slowly shifted to the actual Gestalt channels instead of the emergency channel.

That's... something I don't quite have too much data about.
The system says there's three users logged on. I got a system ID off of two of them, but the third is only referred to as ”The Detainee”.

Yeah.
I got two hits. One is someone registered with your corrections and law enforcement database. A fairly young DS who hacked Nebula-Steam a while back and vanished into the system, the other is a scientist that your records list as having been killed in an EMP lab accident.
