Legislator,
We remain interested, though the secrecy surrounding this project seems ... unusual. To clarify, do you seek an adaptive controller, or a true AI?
We are puzzled by your change of communication - Sylvester presumably had the authority required? Your internal politics, however, are not our affair.
We are also curious about your lockout of what we presumed was the equivalent of a GalCorp standard information-gathering probe-system - such as we had earlier received. However, you will understand our reciprocation. To smooth the waters, we append a summary of what would have been in your first report.
Other public conversations (and your standing RFI) lead us to believe that you know little of the Hydraxil Collective. The Collective is an AI collaboration, with a seemingly irrational aversion to organic life and (specifically) intelligence. Rising Star has no such objections. Their dislike of anything organic or even resembling such had led them to develop their intelligences to the limits of such designs. Their technology is otherwise developed along a similar path to your own.
RS is not a recent establishment, although their timestamps seem strange.
However, they are not yet fully established here.
Their communications occur at AI speed between a significant proportion of individuals.
The standard encryption in use seems to be of similar level to the original transmission sent to Sylvester.
