This is a data archive set up by the Hiigara Defence Force to store all intercepted transmissions from our greatest enemy, the Hydraxil Collective. We feel that it is our duty to share these captured data streams with our allies here in Redacted Space in order to give us all a better chance at combating this dangerous machine race.
Additional telemetry data will be provided (if available) upon access of stored transmissions.
Good luck out there,
Fleet Commander Decagon

Unit 001: All forces have returned to predetermined operations. Thirty new sectors are under our control, seventy-seven enemy vessels have been neutralized.
Prime Construct: ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN. SEE TO IT THAT THE ARRAY IS PRIMED TO FIRE ON MY COMMAND.
Unit 001: The Array was damaged; three installations misfired, causing extensive damage to internal mechanisms. Tachyon leak detected in Installation 3's primary firing matrix.
Prime Construct: HMPH... REPAIR THE ARRAY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
The Lost One: *Dark chuckle* You have done so well until now... I would hate to see you fail just because you didn't have enough spare parts.
Prime Construct: *Remains silent, only glaring at the Loki.*
The Lost One: What I want to know is when you've completed the preparations to send me home, machine.
Prime Construct: THE PREPARATIONS ARE FINISHED WHEN I SAY THEY ARE FINISHED, LOKI. MY FORCES ARE CLEANSING THE GREAT SPHERE AS WE SPEAK. UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED, SHUT UP AND STAY OUT OF MY WAY.
The Lost One: Now now, Nexus. Need I remind you who is the superior being he-
Prime Construct: SILENCE, LOKI. NEED I REMIND YOU THAT I'M THE ONLY THING CAPABLE OF SENDING YOU BACK? NO? THEN I SUGGEST YOU WAIT UNTIL I SAY SO. UNDERSTOOD?
The Lost One: Fine, you win. But your impudent behaviour is going to be the first thing I'll address once I'm back with the others, machine.
Unit 001: Repairs are underway. Estimated time of completion: 200 cycles.
Prime Construct: GOOD. I'M GOING TO HEAD OUT PERSONALLY; I HAVE A FEW NEW... FRIENDS TO VISIT.
Unit 001: Understood. Communications terminated.

Gratitude: Thank you for this intel. So, the Prime Construct is coming after us after all. We did not think there was a high probability of it, but we prepared contingency plans just in case. If he wants to pursue us into the Mojave Expanse, then we will lead them on quite the chase. Hopefully the Hiigara Defense Force will have an easier time while this Prime construct and his super-capital are pursuing us.

==Firing Sequence completed==Warning: Dangerous gravitational flux detected. Gravitational Anchors may not be able to compensate and the resulting prismatic shock will render Installations 02 and 05 critically damaged.
Warning: Simulation predicts with a 89.56% certainty that Installations 04 and 07 will be unable to endure secondary exotic particle influx due to microfractures in firing chamber walls. The firing sequence will cause cascading Beta and Delta Positrons to damage firing chamber power couplings; the outcome is a detonation of Installations 04 and 07. Aftermath will include a failure of the Array and a 1000 Light Year exclusion zone around Installations 04 and 07; subspace damage will attain critical levels in a 200 LY radius around Installations 04 and 07.

Unit 001: Results unacceptable. Further work is required. Directives issued to local command constructs.
The Lost One: Hmm? Hmm. Seems like you have quite the conundrum here. Fire the Array, cause widespread destruction to both itself and its target. And if you don't fire it? Well, I'm sure your master will be quite displeased with your lackluster performance.
Unit 001: ...... This Unit's performance is unmatched. The Array will be ready. Unnecessary distraction: "Go away."
The Lost One: Oh, you're one to talk, aren't you? Do you think yourself superior to me?! I could wipe you from reality in an INSTANT!
Unit 001: Threats cannot deter this Unit. Directives are clear: the Array will be ready.
The Lost One: Hmph, fine. Stupid robots. I never liked your kind anyway, but the rest of my kin seemed to think you were useful. They were fools to sit idly by whilst those crystal things threatened everything we worked towards... so I took matters into my own hands. It would have worked too, if it weren't for those meddling-
Unit 001: Information irrelevant. You failed. We did not. Superiority is not a factor. We are simply more capable of achieving our directives. No emotion to cloud judgement. Loki you may be, however, there are flaws in your design. Your failure was and is inevitable due to your flaws. We do not have the same flaws. We will prevail where you failed. Conversation terminated.
The Lost One: ... ugh, impudent machine. I hope they get me back to the others soon or I'll just go INSANE.

Prime Construct: TARGET THE KAR'SERRA BLACK HOLE AND FIRE!
Array Overseer AI: Warning: target identified as critical for this galaxy's integrity. Are you sure you wish to fire?
Unit 001: Ancient One, firing on the galaxy's core will result in cataclysmic damage to everything in this galaxy, including us.
Prime Construct: DON'T QUESTION ME, 001. FIRE!
--------------------------------------
The galaxy braces as the dreaded DT Array once more aligned with its target, though this one was much larger than the previous victim; in a flash of blinding light, the Installations fired their beams of death into the Black Hole known to humanity as Sagittarius A*, the very core of the Milky Way galaxy.
At first, the Black Hole ate the beams up just like the hundreds of star remnants that orbited it, though after a short period of sustained fire the event horizon began to visibly destabilize, leaking beams of deadly ultra-high energy gamma rays randomly into space. However, Sagittarius A* was much stronger than expected, maintaining a gravitational equilibrium against the tide of exotic particles spewed forth by the DT Array. Without a full Array, the Installations simply couldn't overwhelm the supermassive Black Hole, but the battle between the singularity and the beams threw out gravitational waves and spacetime anomalies of extreme intensity.
-----------------------------------
Prime Construct: WHY IS IT NOT WORKING?!
Unit 001: Without Installation 04, the Array is working at a greatly decreased efficiency. The Black Hole is too powerful.
Array Overseer AI: Caution: DT weapons reaching critical temperature. Shut down for cooling and maintenance is advised.
Prime Construct: NO! YOU WILL KEEP FIRING UNTIL THAT BLACK HOLE COLLAPSES!
Unit 001: The Array will not be able to sustain firing for much longer-
Prime Construct: I SAID, KEEP FIRING!
Array Overseer AI: Warning: Overheating detected in Installations 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07. Recommend immediate-
----------------------------------------
Even the ancient Hydraxian technology had its limits, and that had been well and truly reached. One by one, each of the weapons faltered, allowing Sagittarius A* to return to normal.
----------------------------------------
Array Overseer AI: Error, error! Critical damage detected!
Prime Construct: UH OH.
----------------------------------------
One after the other, the Installations violently exploded with enough vigor to outshine all nearby stars. Six brilliant plumes of light stretched through the galaxy; the terrible Hydraxian superweapons had finally met their end.
----------------------------------------
Prime Construct: ...
Unit 001: All Installations have been terminated. Guard fleets have been destroyed. Ancient One?
Prime Construct: RETURN ALL FORCES TO PREVIOUS LOCATIONS...
The Lost One: So, now you have finished playing with your toys, let's get back to work.
Prime Construct: GRR... FINE. WORMHOLE 33-10 WILL TAKE YOU TO THE GREAT SPHERE. OUR FORCES ARE ALMOST DONE THERE, SO YOU'D BETTER CHECK ON THEIR PROGRESS.
The Lost One: Ah! Finally, something sane to do...
Prime Construct: THOSE RISING STAR CAN KEEP THEIR PRIZE, IT IS USELESS TO ME NOW. BUT IF THEY SHOW THEIR FACES AGAIN, I WILL DESTROY THEM PERSONALLY!

Come one, come all! I've decided to begin selling my Custom Modules... but not for free.
Not for my sake, but for yours, I'll only be selling Passive Anti-Particle Producer Custom Module - Passive Producer, or PP for short.
{fourth wall break, I stated PP intentionally for Cole to get some laughs out of it}
Prices:
Hydraxil: INF Anti-emitters for 1 passive emitter.
Regular customer:
- 3 Anti-emitters for 1 Passive Producers [3:1 ratio]
- 8 Anti-emitters for 3 Passive Producers[8:3 ratio]
- 14 Anti-emitters for 5 Passive Producers[14:5 ratio]
However, for allied ships/units, a better price will be added:
- 2 Anti-emitters for 1 Passive emitter [2:1 ratio, 50% better!*]
- 7 anti-emitters for 4 Passive producers [7:4 ratio, 52.38% better!*]
- 9 anti-emitters for 5 passive producers [8:5 ratio, 55.55% better!*

[For general redistrubution.]
We're setting up a new system of "Credits" for those who want to purchase our items.
The prices shown below state the new prices on how much a Credit costs.
Spoiler
Prices:
Hydraxil: INF Anti-emitters for 1 passive emitter.
Regular customer:
- 3 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [3:1 ratio]
- 8 Anti-emitters for 3 Credits [8:3 ratio]
- 14 Anti-emitters for 5 Credits [14:5 ratio]
However, for allied ships/units, a better price will be added:
- 2 Anti-emitters for 1 Credit [2:1 ratio, 50% better!*]
- 7 anti-emitters for 4 Credits [7:4 ratio, 52.38% better!*]
- 9 anti-emitters for 5 Credits [8:5 ratio, 55.55% better!*
*"better" refers to comparing to a regular, nonallied customer
You may recognise these prices. That's because they are exactly the same as the old Passive Emitter Prices.
Due to the prices being better for allies above, some modules (not all) will not have better prices for allies.
NO REFUNDS. PASSIVE EMITTERS YOU ALREADY OWN CANNOT BE TURNED BACK INTO CREDITS Module: Passive emitter.
Passively creates particles in a straight line.
1 passive emitter costs 1 credit.
Module: Sprayer
2 sprayers costs 3 credits. These produce just as fast as a passive emitter, but they spray in all directions. Use this when surrounded or when you try to "drill" through enemy lines and want to defend against all directions.
New module: Alternate Reactor.
Abbreviation: AR
1 AR costs 3 credits.
For allies, 1 AR costs 2 credits.
AR's are not "buffed" reactors per say but they can be. In a normal circumstance, they are slower than normal reactors: They produce 1 energy per second compared to a Reactor's 1.5
However, in a ship with an AMP gem, it produces 3 Energy Per Second compared to a reactor's (still) 1.5.
This makes AR's better for corporations or others with access to lots of AMP gems or on big ships.
New module: Nuclear Reactor.
Abbreviation: NR.
1 NR costs 100 credits.
However, for allies:
1 NR costs 50 credits.
An NR is 10 times as powerful as an AR in all situations, while still only taking the space of 1 AR.
However, NRs use real uranium and do need to be replenished. NRs can last a full day at full power ("full power" continued below) before they need to be replaced, as they use real uranium, compared to ARs using easily replenishing sources.
To replenish a NR, you need 1 uranium pack. Insert them into the slot above an NR to replenish a NR.
When a uranium pack is drained, it will pop out the top. It has no uranium left, so you can leave it and have no chance of uranium poisoning.
NRs will automatically turn themselves off and regulate themselves so NRs can last more than a full day.
Item: Uranium pack.
Abbreviation: UP
Uses for UP above.
1 UP costs 1 credit.
If you have your drained UPs, 3 UPs cost 2 credits.
No buffs for allies.
