So it begins...

<<<Incoming Transmission... Unknown origin. Loading... Open Channel. [Begin Transmit]. I Am everlasting. But who am I? Some have called me an angel, others a demon... But what of me. I roam the planes. With no purpose. You may ask, "Who am I?". I will tell you. I am Lyokoen Class- AI. V 2.22. Serial number, 0000000002. I am the monument to all your sins....

Upon the moment the AI chose to communicate with the ship, the message it sent was recorded. And once it had been read by the pilot of the ship Jake Ateris, well he was not too pleased. So he decided to deal with the problem of the communication. And sent a reply to that AI.
Greetings. Where may we talk?

To decrypt the code the AI had been given would be the next step and so Jake ordered a few of the scientists on board. ?Decrypt whatever that AI said immediately. I have to ready my mech for combat.? He went down to the labs on the ship.  Before he could get there the code had been decrypted so they would know what it meant. ?He will make a good addition to our forces. Plus with him on our side we can put phase 3 of our plan into operation.? At that a transmission was sent to the AI.
