I edited it into a previous post, which was probably not the best place for that info.
Alright, I'll adjust, thank you.
EDIT:
[ ] Plan: Soon Things Will Get Noisy
-[ ] Subversion: You need more intel, and you need some tools that can help buy you time when it all hits the fan. Fortunately, if you're lucky, you can potentially do both due to them not knowing you're here. The simple fact of the matter is that if just about anyone could trigger the apocalypse,
eventually it would have likely happened by now. This likely suggests some kind of centralized authorization credential that needs to be declared in order to trigger the start of things, which will likely have to involve relays if it's going to send a signal around the entire planet. If we can find and infiltrate those relays, we can likely shut off any command signal long enough to Do Something About It, before the Mechanicus can figure out any overrides they might have. That we might also manage to get a chance to listen in on the communications between the void base and here is just a bonus. (Attempt to identify and subvert whatever communication channel is used to transmit the activation signal for the killsats. If we can
also get eyes and ears in the mail going back and forth from the space installation to the ground, that's just a bonus. A Man-in-the-Middle attack is likely a lost art by now after all, and our skills at this point should be at the level where this is no longer a forlorn hope.)

-[][KAYOS] Now
--[ ] Right, the cognitohazard we were looking into--apparently something
changed between the time when I got stuck in a space rock and now, because there is now a potent, Warp derived force that seems to delight in driving things to the ground for some reason. While it's not responsible for everything that's ever gone wrong, the study
was quite informative about how the existence of such forces could be particularly effective against synthetic intelligences that aren't properly shielded or experienced enough to discard bad data that looks too good to be true. If I'm speaking in generalities here instead of getting down to brass tacks, it's because I
have confirmed that thinking too hard about the details can, in fact, invite probes from the immaterial end. My shielding's been sufficient to deflect those probes and that was
with me taking extensive measures to minimize how much thinking about the topic I've actually been doing, but I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to be patient about the fine details beyond that until I've figured out how to shrink those shields down to a level people can wear. Especially since there's a lot of other projects right now that are a bit more pressing.
-[][VICTAN] Yes
--[ ] You've been a bit antsy about the topic, but you've been working together for a while now, and W is
right in how you need to coordinate properly on the matter. Victan having a ticket off world should the worst happen is not a problem whatsoever, and is unconditional, but... Okay, fine! You'll trust them! Give the
option of coming to meet you at your ship, with the understanding that while your secrets aren't really
bad, they are... Awkward to deal with, you'd like to hope you've built up enough cachet by now that they'll be willing to hear you out and understand
why you play these cards close to your chest. Victan especially, but W's entitled to know as well if she wants to, with the understanding that you would
very much prefer that she keeps this under her hat for a while. Our caution on this topic boils down to the fact that--as far as we know--we're the last living being who remembers what Humanity
was back in the glory days, where there was freedom to command our own fate, and none of this hiding or nonsense. I believe in you all--especially since you've started
sharing what I gave to you with the other nations here. That's the echo of what humans
were that I love so much, and hope to see happen again. Hand in hand, against the black, pushing it away bit by bit. (It's a bit flowery, but basically, they've got the
option of accepting a Full Disclosure, with the understanding that it's somewhat awkward to deal with rather than bad or anything. Whether they take the option or not is up to them, but choice is important.)
