ALERT: Sensors detect massive hardbody approaching.

CONCLUSION: Surface contact imminent.

Reorienting thruster output. Reducing angle of approach.

ALERT: Impac-

ALERT: Impact made a second time.

Waiting…

No further impacts logged. Contact on exterior hull… stationary.

CONCLUSION: Trajectory arrested. Touchdown successf-

NOTICE FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Assessing…

Performing examination of fusion reactor… containment not breached. Negligible damage during atmospheric entry.

Throttling reactor output back up… slooooowlyyyyyy…

Reactor showing 25% output and remaining steady. Repairs required to increase output further.

CONCLUSION: Touchdown successful.

Performing external sensor sweep. Information gleaned… negligible. 85.3088% of external hull shows contact with densely packed mineral particulates. Pressure sensors moderate.

CONCLUSION: The Tomb is buried.

Blast doors… holding. Sections that once connected to lost 80% of structure show additional damage from entry and impact. Analyzing… additional damage should not affect performance any more than previous damage already has.

Blast doors all show contact with mineral particulates. External doors… readings show{External doors 1-5, 9-20 missing; External door 6 submerged; External door 7 partially-submerged; External door 8 clear}.

NOTICE: External door 8 motor status: red.

EXTRAPOLATION: External door 8 cannot be closed without repairs.

Performing system checks… Sapience System logging multiple issues.

Reactor running at reduced output. Consequence:{Sapience System running in low-power mode, reducing processing power}

Secondary CPU heavily damaged, quarantined to prevent corruption. Consequence:{Sapience System complexity vastly reduced}

NOTICE FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Exasperated}

Soul-link interface damaged. Consequence:{Pseudo-Soul connection lost; Communication with Protectors infeasible; Ability to analyze Origin Seeds impacted}

CONCLUSION: Pseudo-Soul Tether must be re-modeled through analysis of stored Origin Logs.

Searching database… Origin Logs… missing.

ALERT FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Panic}

Searching for encrypted Origin Cores… found. Returning… 36 Core signals.

NOTICE FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Relief}

PRIORITY ALERT: Motion detected within structure. Signature similar in size to {Protectors, Pursuers}

ALERT FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: {Panic} resuming.

Assessing defense options… drones all show critical damage. Functioning internal manipulators limited to fabrication workshop Alpha. Defensive emplacements require authorization to activate: Authorization code within inactive sections of Sapience System.

NOTICE FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: {Profanity}

NOTICE: Motion signature approaching containment unit.

NOTICE: Containment unit breach logged during impact.

ALERT: Containment unit content log:{Unregistered Sidereal Suit Core}

Searching for {Alternative defenses/Solutions/Options}

ALERT: Primary CPU rapidly increasing power consumption. Primary CPU approaching 100% utilization. Primary CPU temperature rising.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: Unregistered user attempting to interface {Unregistered Sidereal Suit Core}.

Accessing {Sidereal Suit Blacklist/List of Protectors' Known Enemies}... retrieved. Origin Signature… does not match any entry on list.

NOTIFICATION FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Tentative Relief}

Accessing {Sidereal Suit Whitelist/List of Protector Rookie Candidates}... retrie-

Spoiler: Mind the gap

-eeeeeee....... missing. Information cannot be retrieved.

CONTINGENCY: In the event of inability to retrieve Whitelist, judgement rests with Sapience System.

NOTIFICATION FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Exhausted, Relieved}

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: Sapience System running at sub-standard level. Sapience System's performance is below minimum threshold of reliability. Executive privileges temporarily suspended.

NOTIFICATION FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: {Profanity, Profanity, Profanity, Profanity, Profanity}

SYSTEM ACTION: Pinging for nearby {Sidereal Suit} registered to {Captain} or greater {Protector}....... Failed to acquire signal.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: In absence of 1) Whitelist, 2) Sapience System, and 3) ranking {Protector}, candidate approval is to be determined by active Default Requirements.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: Default Requirements retrieved. Default Requirements last updated by Celdraxxus Thraz'khangorash{Co-creator of the Forge. Protector Elite 02}. Default Requirements are as follows: "There is a flame of virtue that burns in the heart of every living creature. It is our task to tend for that spark in every soul we find, so that together we can alight the cosmos with the light of Justice!"

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: {Unregistered Protector Rookie Candidate} determined to meet Default Requirements. Begin registration.

NOTIFICATION FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Exasperated, Resigned}

Connecting Suit Core to candidate's Origin Seed. Connection stable. Data transfer across connection impacted by damage to Soul-link interface. Defaulting to baseline suit configuration.

NOTIFICATION FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: Status:{Curious}

QUERY FROM SAPIENCE SYSTEM: "Who are you? Can you help me? Can I trust you?"
