our guest in the network has voiced an interest in gunnery
perhaps in all our departments and internal workings, but if we are being pursued externally
it might be wise to remain vigilant
I've attached the conversation I had with it for your interest

the ship
and they're using us to determine its location through deceit and now promise of rescue
at best, a rescue is a secondary priority
at worst, it's a lie to win our compliance

radio silence
or engage and hope for rescue, secondary or not

but I think we can use the first one to buy some time
and if it's all a big misunderstanding we can laugh about it over tea
