[SALVATION ANNALS:: SERVITOR NIRIKS Perception Feed dump:]

[[Filtering Highspeak]]

ER: The call for aid is sent. This conversation is over.

IX: You owe me answers.

ER: You owe allegiance to your Kell. Prepare your nest for evacuation.

IX: They will kill you. Or worse.

ER: A cost I will gladly pay. Our people will not survive the Scorn on our own.

IX: But in what state will we survive?

ER: Anything is better than annihilation.

IX: You may feel differently in a Human cage.

ER: Leave. I have weapons to prepare. Where Scorn go, he often follows.

IX: As ever, I walk my own path. If I don't see you again, I will know another piece of Old Riis is lost.

[A snap-hiss. Metal groans and shakes.]

IX: You can't lead from a cage. You can't inspire from the grave.

ER: I do what I can. With what I have.
