Peter Parker has decoded the rest of the message first mentioned here (and ICly mentioned here). This was done in the timeframe during the mission, and it can be assumed the post was sent directly to the tablets of anyone there. The message that’s been scrambling the AI is just a set of coordinates and a simple message: kill me. Now, this doesn’t need to be logged out to count ICly, but to everyone whose characters would pursue the coordinates, we’d like to know their course of action!

Following the coordinates will indeed lead into the UE council’s base of operations, and specifically into an underground room within the complex. There they will discover a vast bank of computers, all networked together and running the same program: the UE’s newly "elected" Presidential AI. This is the same AI that Soldier Blue’s mission was sent to implant the Transport AI into, and the two competing programs are now warping and corrupting each other. The Transport AI is keeping the Presidential AI from launching any lethal attacks on the Transports in the future, though just barely, but it’s also fragmenting the Transport AI’s programing.

Investigating the programming (you did bring a computer-savvy character with you, right?) will uncover that destroying this version of the Transport AI will destroy the AI in the present of Exsilium, as well. They’re inextricably linked, thanks to the time travel involved in implanting it.

So, will you put the Transport AI out of its misery, and destroy the UE Presidential AI at the same time? Will you leave it? Will you try something else? Feel free to answer within this post, and ask away if you have any questions!
