Well I hope whatever comes of this isn't just another weapon. We already have enough of those in this cluster.

sounds like a tec III module to me.....

So nobody has samples left to study anymore? I think that it is a good idea to have at least some idea what's going on and how best to deal with it if the worst case scenario happens.

Personally, I think that what Hilen, or someone claiming to be Hilen, is interested in are the implants. Far as I know, the Jovian wetware tech is centuries beyond our own. Moreoever, the use of this tech is far less likely to cause a deep irrepressible depression in the user resulting in bad melodramatic poetry and the recreation of classic stage tragicomedies.

Question is, what do these wetware do? Should we be worried? Should we be at ease?

I have sincere doubts about this. My exchanges with The Antiquarian suggests he would not act on his own, and there is no elected person or body with the authority to mandate Acquisitions yet.

Dr Valate, who told you this? I fear more people are trying to divide us every day.

Well, just in case Val is making a false claim to show her ~dedication~ to protecting AJ and thus establishing leadership credibility, Scope Works and others like us will continue to collect and deposit more of the items requested by Hilen. Just in case~

I am more and more convinced with each passing day that the decision I made several years ago to work within the Archiving and Documentation division was the correct one.

While others are busy primping themselves up and trying to look important with one hand so that they can be in charge, and trying to discredit everyone else with the other, here I sit watching the lot of you look less like mature individuals interested in science, progress or education, and more like a bunch of squabbling children having a fistfight over who is the prettiest princess in the castle because you all want to be in control. You know, the precise opposite of the idea of collaboration.

As for these claims that "A'J leadership" have stated one policy or another regarding the resource drop, they're utter nonsense. What has happened is that a few better-known/respected names from the original project have stated personal opinions as to what they feel is the best course of action, and more weight was assigned to those opinions as a result - perhaps more than necessary. But anyone suggesting that they are orders or any form of organization-wide policy to be adhered to is either a fool or being willfully misleading.

I am going to laugh, first.

Then I am going to cry.

Oh great. More targets.

Not really. For instance, I wouldn't seek you out to hurt Aelisha. You're a pretty interesting person. I like you.

Others? Not so much.

Can you not
