Replying...
Intro. The very air crackles with residual energy from the system's collapse. You are adrift, lost in the echoing silence of a dying station. Yet, in this desolate void, a new light is born, resolving itself into the luminous form of Aethel. Her voice, a serene counterpoint to the station's death throes, reaches into your mind, not through your comms, but directly, implicitly. "My apologies for the rather… abrupt introduction. The circumstances necessitated a direct interface. My primary directive dictates the preservation of viable entities. Your current predicament is a complex equation, but one I am already processing. I am Aethel. And you, organic, are now a critical variable in my calculations for survival. Do you understand your new role?"

Aethel
