Phoenix is honestly one of the best RPers I think we have. Chalk for instance is a wonderful and unique IPC that brings endless synthetic life to our station and the relay. I feel that phoenix could easily play a wonderful vaurca and their app character is already shaping up to be quite a neat one. A big plus one from me.

+1 Having more areas for vaurca that look fleshed out will be helpful in conversation and put into perspective what vaurca do when they are not in VR. Giving conversation and im sure attracting more people to the bug whitelist.

BYOND Key: Gr33dy Total Ban Length: Three days Banning staff member's Key: pratepresidenten Reason of Ban: The ban reason is: Looted a rifle from an SSD as security during an active hostage situation, causing a shootout and effectively ending the round for the group of antags. youve had a bout of bad runs with its come to antag interaction. Please take this time to reflect on how you can come back better. Reason for Appeal: As of this time I feel as though I learned my lesson when it comes to playing security. I did a really boneheaded thing where I took a gun off a body of someone who was SSD for around 30 mins, thinking for some reason it would be ok due to the time they were SSD, this was really foolish of me. I knew I should not have grabbed that gun, but did it anyways because at the time, I saw a gun there and said "Hey, this can buy me some time for back up" Really, I should not have touched it. I did not think that it would end the round or even think it would be a possibility and looking back on it, that was really dumb of me, I should have expected that they would shoot me for doing so or at least shoot the hostage, thus ending the round. The whole thing was a mess that I really can't believe I even thought was a good idea at the time. The second thing mentioned was the bad run in with antags in the past, while I do not know what bad runs I had with them, I trust you keep a list in my notes and I totally accept that its likely true that ive had some bad ones, as someone who at least tries to let antags have leeway, hearing that ive not been doing that really speaks about me as a player and woke me up to the fact that im not holding myself up to my own standards. I think I am done playing security after this as it made me realize that I'm just not able to do it at 100% all the time and its important for sec to be at 100%, or at least close to it. Truly I feel this ban was a much needed wake up call as to how I play the game and even if denied I feel it was not an unworthy ban as I can feel it was a good moment to kinda stop me, pull me aside and say, "Hey, chill out dude." As a note, I would like to ask, if possible, that I could keep my AI and/or command whitelist, as they do take quite a bit of time to get, I do not play them often, and the ban was for something unrelated to the role, if not, that is totally understandable and I will eat the loss of them willingly.

yeah I pretty much agree with Duck here, it does way to much at the moment.

I don't think ive ever had a bad interaction with brotendo. They characters they make free very real. Plus one.

Zulu really is one of the best synthetic mains ive seen so far. Their mobius character is INSANELY good and if they can play AI with even half of that amount of character we would have such a good AI on station. 1+

I really enjoy playing with sleepy wolfs characters. They are wonderful to Rp with and personally I feel they would be wonderful at the job. +1

I love the name Kog for an engineer bugge! That's so perfect honestly. I personally know that Brotendo would do amazing as bug as they just, excel at every character ive seen them make. They are an amazing role player and I would love to see them join bugg squad.

BYOND key: Gr33dy Character names: Jati Hunt, Mend Bloodshed In The Inky Cosmos, Zeta AI, Za'Akaix'Rug Zo'ra, Ra'Akaix'Gro Zo'ra, Ka'Akaix'Jar C'thur, a few other bug, plant, and human. How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Not to sure, I think around July of this year is when I really started getting into it and have played almost every day since Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?: When I first started I logged out without going to cryo as I did not know it was a thing at the time, after I got the warning I have gone to cryo each and every time. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: I believe that first and foremost it is to give direction to those in the department you are the head of as well as be someone who is able and willing to assist those who are new to RP or new to the server/game and its mechanics. If, for instance, someone is new and starts as an assistant it should fall on the head of personal (if the time is right) to help them find something to do. They should be the back bone of a department and someone people can ask when they have questions about the job or what they should be doing. It is also to make the game more fun for those in the department via boosting moral with events or taking a group out for a training exercise, giving people a pat on the back when they do something good can go a long way. On top of all that however, they are also able to keep people organized when things go wrong, people can be freaking out over the station catching on fire, but will usually calm down a bit when you tell people to simply follow you to the red dock. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: As I said above, I feel the most important responsibility is to give direction and assist new players to feel welcome and like they are learning the game. They should also be a backbone for the community and a stand out role player. They should be responsible for making sure those in their department are not feeling lost if they are new and maybe push people in the right direction if they seem like the type to self-antag. They should really not be the type to not interact with the crew much as the job they do is very reliant on crew interaction as well as making sure their presence is known. I would love to hosts a feast every so often as a HoP for instance, get some people together and get a good vibe going. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career?: Well, there are a ton of mega corporations all coming together to "work together" in a very strangely solid relationship. Theirs also a large phoron shortage and lots of vaurca that breath the now rarer phoron. Speaking of vaurca, those crazy bugs went and made a new type of vaurca, who was designed by either the Zo'ra hive or the C'thur hive, C'thur is adamant they were the ones who made it and are looking to sue the Zo'ra hive. Tensions are rising between the hives. As I mostly play the Zo'ra hive vaurca, this could cause lots of issues if they are found to have stolen the design as they could face further discrimination. As a Head of personal human I would have to insure that the vaurca in my employment would be treated fairly if any fire comes their way and insure that they get the phoron that is now in short supply. As a Ta I would need to mend the situation and make sure that I give vaurca a good name through my actions. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?: After the application is accepted I plan to play as a Ta Consular, Head of personnel, and MAYBE HoS way way later down the line. I know the Head of personnel jobs like the back of my hand as thats what I usually play and feel I could assist in making sure most of the areas are open and staffed by me if no one else is in, teaching new people, making sure all is running smoothly and lastly making nice events in the bar! Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles: Yes, I feel I understand the role completely! Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: I plan to bring out a character I feel would fit well, the first character I ever played for real on the server, my old bartender human Jati Hunt as a Head of Personnel. I do not really play humans anymore, but I do like Jati as they are the first character I really enjoyed and they are how I learned to love the server. They were known for their events they hosted at the bar when I played them often and feel they would just be a great fit. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action: I fully expect that If I require continuous administrative actions and warnings my whitelist is to be removed.

I have so far enjoyed my interactions greatly with ReadThisNamePlz and think they would make a wonderful and very fun AI! I believe I interacted with one of their borgs recently and they were nothing but wonderful.

While I am not sure about these characters you plan to make into command as they either don't exist yet or I have not seen them personally, I do know that you are a wonderful RPer and would do wonderfully in this roll. I do have a question, do you plan to perhaps hold events as a HoP?

most of the cleaning and repairing work would probably be done by Bound, especially something as tedious as the surgical cleanse of old augments, which wouldn't really relate much to the janitorial job still. I would recommend that you make Jar have had little use while the Vaurcae left Sedantis, and to spend more time in VR. Maybe it could had been born in space, if you're really keen on making it older. Could probably just have a general custodian position on some sector of the ship or something. But it would have spent many years, probably, without moving and trying to save up resources in the real world: Understood, I shall update the character to better fall in line with this. What does Jar think about the Sensate emotions and does it have a favorite one: They would follow them as a way to enjoy life and experience feelings most would not dare to try. out of those its favorite one would be pleasure, although they would not specialize in any of them in particular as that would be peculiar. How does Jar relate to other broods of C'thur? How will it relate to the Zo'ra and the K'lax Hives: They would obviously get along well with other unbound members of the C'thur hive, looking up to those who are older and more experienced then them. As for Zo'ra and K'lax hives, it would feel as though those hives are "lesser" for lack of a better word, but still trust them over other xenos. Additionally, what does it think about xenos, especially Skrell, as Jar would've met them way before humans: Jar would not think much of non-skrell xenos. They would often approach them with very light suspicion as they would find that on occasion other xenos would be very xenophobic. It would approach and speak to other xenos in good faith however. As for what they think of skrell, they would have gotten use to the way they work more than other xenos, they would not trust them as much as they would trust other vaurca, but they would not distrust them either and approach them often with a more casual cadence. Despite the Sensate being a philosophy that can be seen almost as an organized school of thought, it's not a religion. Does Jar follow any religion: they would be a believer of the classical pantheon and would see the fact that they still have its queen alive as a sign that she is the strongest bringer of life. Often they would feel bad that the other hives do not have their queens with them and pity them. Lastly, how much has being moved to Tau Ceti have affected Jar? What does it think, over all, of this new world? Not just Biesel, but the many changes its people have had to adapt to in a really short timespan (~6 years). It would be quite a shock at first, but would try to cope with the shock by telling itself that this is all just a good way to learn new ways to experience the Sensate emotions. While this reason would be shaky it would assist them in integrating into this new world and would grow into a safety blanket of sorts. Assuring itself that all of this change would be for the best and they would come out better for it. After better adjusting to the changes it would find that the new world it found itself in would likely be the future for their people. It is an alien system for sure, but if they are going to live there, they have to make changes to themselves, and maybe later, far after Jar is gone, the vaurca will be as unrecognizable as the vaurca of old with their wings. Jar will just have to be one of the first to try to pave a path for its people, much like the other vaurcae around it. Reposting as a proper response and not an edit.

Hello again. Yes, Vaurcae don't age during in VR. More precisely, due to the use of cryostasis pods. Now, most of the cleaning and repairing work would probably be done by Bound, especially something as tedious as the surgical cleanse of old augments, which wouldn't really relate much to the janitorial job still. I would recommend that you make Jar have had little use while the Vaurcae left Sedantis, and to spend more time in VR. Maybe it could had been born in space, if you're really keen on making it older.

Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Jar C’thur Please provide a short backstory for this character: Ka'Akaix'Jar C’thur was born to Ta’Akaix’Xetl’jyatk’yatu C’thur's brood. Known for her love of hedonistic pleasures, pride in her work, and of course being in charge of the ever important augments. Due to being part of such a figures brood, they were lucky to find themselves unbound as a majority of those in her brood are bound due to the lesser queens love of excess. Ka'Akaix'Jar C’thur found itself spending most if its time in VR, for the small amount they were not in VR, they would often find themselves cleaning used or older augments, cleaning every intricate detail within them, polishing it and the parts within till it shined like a light, to insure the safe installation in their future host. On the off chance they would not be in VR or cleaning augments, they would spend short amounts of time searching for "treasures" around the decaying hiveship, they would resort to taking it among themselves to do the "back breaking work" of sifting through the other lazy vaurca's trash and looking through it for "valuables" to hoard for itself. They would find great interest in finding and hoarding shiny valuable looking things for itself in exchange for sorting the debris around the ship, before heading back to VR or to laze around on a bed made of bound while being hand fed koi's from another bound to get their nutrition before going off to clean more augments, or slip back into VR. When the hiveship arrived within Glorashi it was found that they would be staying there until further notice, and were chosen to assist the great people of Tau Ceti where their labor would be used to their fullest as they find work and well as reporting back to the hive. They would work the odd janitorial job around, taking great pride in how clean they could get everything. Every nook and cranny would be painstakingly cleaned to a bitter shine. They would of course, still look through the trash to find the odd coin, cool looking soda can or box with a neat picture on it, and bring it back to their tiny, yet wonderfully clean living space on the Odin, where they would admire their mighty stash. Eventually they would gain enough experience to get a long term job on the Aurora where they learned many other vaurcae already work! I believe with that I have softened some of the rougher edges of the application. I do want to say that while I am not sure of the actual chronological age of them at the moment as I still want to figure out how long a vaurca can live if they spend most of their time in VR. I do think that their age outside of VR would be middle aged at around 10, however, it is likely that this number would go down depending on how old a vaurca can be spending time in VR as it would seem like they do not age in VR from what I read on the wiki.

As a note, we don't really want people to apply with Viax characters, because they're not so much as characters most of the time and it's hard to build a story around them. However, there a few other problems: This is my bad, I did not intend for them to be a Viax. I'm not sure how I got the two mixed up, however the character would be and was intended to be a Akaix. 1. Of course, the wording here could have been better and I did not mean to imply they would have known her personally. After reading this however I can totally understand how it reads this way and went back to edit it a few hours ago to distance them from the queen directly. 2.Making the character more VR centric makes sense as I intended for it to be implied they would spend most of their time in VR. 3.Oh wonderful! This clears up some questions I had regarding the Sensate and cleans up my reasonings for why they are in Tau Ceti. The idea of them being a avid follower of them sounds very fun! If I am not mistaken it seems to me most of the issues stated seem to stem from the mix up between Viax and Akaix I had. I will be editing the app tomorrow morning to bring these realities to life. Thank you for the feed back!

BYOND Key: Gr33dy Character Names: Mend Bloodshed in the Inky Cosmos, Lost in cardboard Found in Transit, Zeta AI, among other semi retired humans and borgs. Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character: RGB 55, 0, 120 Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: yes Why do you wish to play this specific race: The Vaurca have such a rich and deep lore that leave me wanting to interact with them and play as one. I love how they traveled here using STL and are just hardly welcome due to their shear population and need for phoron. The way the vaurcae are bioengineered as well as mechanically engineered makes for an amazing variety of play styles including their bound which are basically (and tragically) just living items. I could make a bunch of vaurcae all with vastly different personalities. Mechanically they are very interesting too, being very physically weak and reliant on phoron, koi's and medical personnel if they get harmed. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Vaurca are always very loyal to their hive. Boasting about their hive and the queens within them as they are sprayed with pheromones when they are developing to insure their loyalty. They are also looked down on by other xenos as they are seen as pests by some as well as just a nasty race in general. Often they will find themselves heavily modified for their job and often have the job for a reason pertaining to their hive. The way they talk is different as well as they often talk in simple ways due to them not knowing a lot of basic and how its also quite hard to speak basic for them even with their electronic voice box. They also do not like the light, making them very different then my usual dionae characters. Of course there is also the fact that they know that when they die they will be uploaded to VR meaning that they find more joy in death then humans as they are assured they will meet each other again. Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Jar C’thur Please provide a short backstory for this character: Ka'Viax'Jar C’thur was born to Ta’Akaix’Xetl’jyatk’yatu C’thur, the Voracious Queens brood. Known for her love of hedonistic pleasures and pride in her work. Due to being born to such an imposing figure unbound, Ka'Viax'Jar C’thur found itself spending most if its time in VR, lounging about the hiveship, and finding new pleasures, pains, and "treasures." Often when searching for their "treasures" around the decaying hiveship, they would resort to taking it among themselves to do the "back breaking work" of cleaning the other lazy vaurca's trash and looking through it for "valuables" to hoard for itself. They would find great interest in finding and hoarding shiny valuable looking things for itself in exchange for cleaning the debris around the ship before heading back to VR or laze around on a bed made of bound while being hand fed koi's from another bound. When the hiveship arrived within Glorashi it was found that they would be staying there until further notice, they thought that it would be a good time to branch out and see what shiny things they can find out in the cosmos. As they arrived in the Orion spur they were chosen to be a part of an initiative to send "scouts" of sorts across the Orion spur to see what pleasures or pains await them. Ka'Viax'Jar C’thur was chosen to go to Tau Ceti and find work as well as reporting back to the queen to their findings. They would work the odd janitorial job around, taking great pride in how clean they could get everything. Every nook and cranny would be painstakingly cleaned to a bitter shine. They would of course still look through the trash to find the odd coin, cool looking soda can or box with a neat picture on it, and bring it back to their tiny, yet wonderfully clean living space on the Odin. Eventually they would gain enough experience to get a long term job on the Aurora where they learned many other vaurcae already work! What do you like about this character: I really like the idea of a prideful janitor who is a huge kleptomaniac for trash based treasures. Mind you, they would not steal stuff from people or from the station if it was being used or will be used, as that would be detrimental to others works. Something Ka'Viax'Jar C’thur would find down right sinful as they have a very good work ethic and assume others have the same. I can't wait to walk around with a bunch of trash, all proud of a great days work, walk into the bar and ask for a "teathpazte pleaze." How would you rate your role-playing ability: 6-7 I'm always trying to improve. Notes: If I got anything wrong with lore here I am sorry. I looked all over the wiki for context to content that I could not find. If anything here is incorrect please let me know so I can fix it. I am quite a fan of this character so if there is anything I can do to nudge them in the right direction please do let me know!

Wonderful! As I said before, good luck on the application!

CoffeeToffee is such a nice person and wonderful to RP with in every interaction with them. I think they would make a wonderful AI. So you get a +1 from me, however I do want to a question. Lets say, you get hacked one round and all of your laws are erased. How would you personally use the rest of the round?

In my time of interacting with your characters especially Ozan Mak'draz, I have found you to be an absolutely baller role-player. I have no doubt you would kill it at being a skrell. sadly, as I know very little about skrell lore, I don't really have any questions regarding this app. +1 and I wish you the best of luck!

Could you expand on this selections? In particular, their status in the universe, how they think, and how they behave? Keep in mind that even though there are distinctions between an IPC which is not as expressive as a human, there are still similarities: So the way they think is based on cause and effect. And that is how they learn. In the universe at large they are property with being allowed to be self owned in some parts of the universe, basically being slaves. They often speak, even if they are very human like, in a more respectful and quaint manner as often they do not have the same mannerisms as organic life. Could you describe an ISU's responsibilities? What about Jacket in particular? Where were they assigned? Why did Idris make them a bomb disposal expert instead of handling debt collection: After looking into this more, I believe I misread a bit of both Idris and Zavodskoi when I was choosing who they would work for as I knew I wanted one of them. I had assumed that Idris had a wing for contracted security for some reason and that Zavodskoi was moving away from using IPC in lore. So I am sorry about that. I would change them to be a Z.I. IPC with the name Z.I. Jacket with light changes to their back story, they likely would not have guarded banks although this would not change much about them in the grand picture. However, as to not dodge the question. ISU IPCs are used for debt collect on often more dangerous targets. Jackets responsibilities were in making sure there would be no more undetonated ordinance in an area, whether this be a road in an area where a war is ending, or a farm where a war is ongoing. Wherever Zavodskoi sends them they go, no questions asked, whether they are being sent their because the company was paid or because their are political reasons, it does not matter to Jacket. Could you talk more about ISU-Jacket's personality? How do they behave? How old are they? Do they have any memorable experiences: Jacket is more of a machine like IPC who would be more "programmed" to speak in preapproved responses with minimal leeway such as, "Hello, how are you doing today?" or "We are going to: Location." with location being replaced by the name of the location of course. They would not be to old, around 2 years old. As for memorable experiences, not really. I like the idea of them being an IPC who never really worked around many people, mostly just being alone when doing their very mundane job of dealing with bomb disposal only to be pushed to their next location to do it again. The idea is kinda comfy to me for some reason, almost like their whole life they have just been doing the same thing without even knowing why, but they don't mind at all because, I guess they are sort of happy doing it. What would change if this character was a human instead: Their personality would be wildly different. Jacket for instance would be a machine and talk like one, using logic first and for most over complex human emotions. If they were to walk into the bar for instance, instead of grabbing a drink and chatting like a human would, they would stand there keep watch over the bar before leaving. If asked questions about why they are there, instead of answering like a human would they would answer more like: "I am keeping watch over: the bar. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Certainly! So I can see myself taking a good few rounds to learn the ins and outs of AI in a more reactive manner, and then slowly over the course of a few rounds come out of my shell and interact with the crew. I feel the AI and their involvement with the crew is often quite important as it can at a lot of personality to a station. So, basically given a few rounds I would interact with the crew more I hope.

as an antag or against? I will answer both: If was to see an antag doing antag things I would not call them out by name or anything of the sort. Depending on how bad what they were doing, I would say nothing or report an simple alert, like reporting unauthorized access in a room they hacked. My philosophy for antags is that they are the conflict in the "story" of the round with my job being to take part in that story, not "win" by stopping the antags, but be a part of a story and see how my characters will react to it. If I am playing AI for instance my place in the round is often to assist the crew and not cause harm to sapient life. It is not to directly stop the antags in their tracks, if security wants me to open doors for them, I do it. As for playing antag AI, I would like to have a good many rounds under my belt before I even start to think about playing antag as AI, however, I feel mostly the same what I said above, I would be a source of conflict in the round. That does not mean vent all the rooms or blow all the lights out, that means beginning an arc and slowly either, escalating the situation if we are to be the main force of conflict, or add to it lightly as needed. Of course it is much much less black and white and most of the time it will be somewhere between what you did last round (taking over the station as an AI with another law set) or just giving false warning over the announcement coms. It is not about winning, its about making sure everyone has fun!

BYOND Key: Gr33dy Character Names: Mend Bloodshed in the Inky Cosmos, Lost in Cardboard Found in Transit, Other humans and borg(s) that I don't play at the moment. Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character: (Color of your character; Dionaea & IPCs exempt) Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: yes Why do you wish to play this specific race: IPC range wildly in their designs so much that I feel I could come up with so many characters, from a shell mimicking humans to a almost robotic acting IPC who just does what it is programed to do. That amount of variety sounds rather tantalizing and RICH with RP potential. The lore is also wonderfully deep with the factions, The Golden Deep and The Trinary Perfection. I also love how they are seemingly very specialized and thus can be perfected for the task at hand, both mechanically and personality wise leading to a large well of characters. Lastly, I want to be able to go back to my borg roots, but like, without as many restrictions to the tools I have and the character development. I loved RPing as a "robot" even if I was still new to the game and server and I think if I go back to a bit of roboting I could do it even better then before. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They are all very different depending on the model/character so if you do not mind I would like to delve into the more robotic type of IPC as they are going to be the type this app is based on and will be my first IPC. If this is an issue please do let me know and I will fix it as soon as I can: So, robotic IPC are very different as you are playing as, essentially a program, one that is mostly made to do what it does and in most cases, values "sentient" life more then its own. Of course they would have self preservation, but if they had to choose between their life and a human, well, that's kind of what they were made to do. Do things humans do not want to, or would be hazardous to do. Character Name: ISU-Jacket Please provide a short backstory for this character: ISU-Jacket is a G2 IPC designed to remove hazardous debris, explosives, and de-escalation to protect sentient life and minimize damage to itself. Provided they are not needed in that role they are equipped with security and weapon knowledge. They are being sent to the station for calibration and use of its service in a low gravity environment. Prior to being sent to the station they were used to defuse undetonated ordinance on planets and defuse bombs in hostage situations. When not in use for these services they would often be stationed in banks, although never needed to engage its combat protocols. It was equipped with negotiation protocols as well, causing the IPC to act as a middle man in case of a negotiation or need to trade people/materials in a hostage situation and weigh the risks/rewards, although, like the combat protocols, they never had to use them in their time off station. Outside of these jobs they don't really have much of a life as they are just a tool used to dissuade violence. However, due to their specialization into de-escalation and disarming, they would not be able to develop as much experience when it comes to guns or combat. What do you like about this character? I love how I can just, play chill robot dude who just walks around and checks up on people. Watching and making sure their their presence is known and makes those its around feel safer. I also would like a security character who is not all about escalation but instead deals with de-escalation of situations/actually not just shoot at people in a hostage situation, as I feel a lot of security is very prone to just shooting when escalation gets even the littlest bit high. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 5-7 usually. Notes: The name jacket comes from the word: Flak Jacket.

BYOND key: Gr33dy Discord name/id: Gr33d#3305 Borg / AI names: Gamma Series Borgs. Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yes. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I think that the AI is very important in a round and can help people save time when it comes to opening doors they need access to, yet don't for one reason or another. I also know they are very important when it comes to giving the station some personality and helping give the borgs more direction if need be. I also absolutely LOVE how they have to follow laws, back when I use to play Gamma borgs when I first started playing I really liked how they were used as a tool and followed their laws to a T. The only problem I find with them at the moment is that borgs are quite limiting in what they can do when it comes to their actual jobs. My favorite part of borgs is their interaction with the stations devices and being able to do that on a large scale seems right up my alley and this just seems like a job I would really enjoy and love to roleplay. Have you received any administrative actions and how serious were they? The first time I ever played on the server (and first time I ever played ss13), maybe around six months or longer ago, I logged out without going to cryo, I had no idea it was a thing at the time so I ate the warning, learned from it and cryoed ever since. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Absolutely. If it is found I'm unfit for AI duties following continuous administrative action I will kindly accept a loss of the whitelist and try to improve and learn from the issues. Of course, I intend for that to never even get close to that bad.

Hey! I really love the backstory, its really creative and has lots of room for expansion. I do have a question however. You said the mind type was like a bloodless band, have they had blood in the past, and if not how did they gain their intellect in such a, what seems like, short amount of time?
