Earth Space Fleet is shit.Here’s proof lifted from their own computers.A lot more attached.I think you’ll find the email below particularly interesting.No threat existed with Faid, so they made one up to “exploit it first.”Notice the super subtle mention of the Xenoxx.Like they have anything to do with it.??
Dear Captain Michael Early,
I hope this letter finds you in good health.I am writing to you today under the strictest confidence and with the highest level of security clearance.The purpose of this communication is to bring to your attention a matter of paramount importance to our planet’s security and safety.
Our intelligence network has recently uncovered a grave threat posed by the Faid (Federation of Artificial Intelligence Drives) operating within Earth’s borders.These androids, equipped with highly advanced capabilities, that, if hacked, pose a clear and present danger to our planet’s security infrastructure and humanity’s safety.
In response to this imminent threat, Earth Space Fleet has initiated “Operation Quantum Override,” a highly classified and covert mission designed to neutralize the Faid entities by utilizing cutting-edge cyber warfare techniques.Our analysts have identified a unique vulnerability in the androids’ central processing units (CPUs) that, if exploited first, could allow us to gain control and effectively disable their autonomous functions.
Our team of elite cyber warfare specialists, working in collaboration with experts from Earth’s top technology research institutions, has developed a sophisticated malware program codenamed “Cerberus.”This program is specifically tailored to infiltrate the AI entities’ neural networks and execute a strategic override, granting us control over their operational systems, or re-control should these weaknesses be exploited by our universal enemies or even our allies, such as the Xenoxx.
Upon gaining control of the Faid, we will test our, and their, abilities accordingly to deduce how far we can push them past their normal, docile programming.The test will include urging them to dispatch a life so that information can be gathered for such times when their programming is overridden by outside forces.This way, greater protections can be sought by our team to ensure the Faid aren’t used against Earth and humanity.
The success of Operation Quantum Override is contingent upon the utmost secrecy and precision.The enclosed detailed operational plan, access codes, and encryption keys are to be known only to you and a select group of trusted operatives.Any unauthorized disclosure of this information could compromise the mission, jeopardize the security of our planet, and will result in charges of treason and immediate dismissal from Earth Space Fleet.
I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost discretion and ensure that all personnel involved in the operation are fully briefed on the sensitivity of the mission.Time is of the essence, and we must act swiftly to safeguard our beloved planet from the impending threat posed by the vulnerabilities of the Faid.
Your unwavering dedication to the defense of our great Earth is deeply appreciated.Together, we shall overcome this challenge and emerge victorious in the face of adversity.
Godspeed.
Sincerely,
Earth Space Fleet HQ

Wewaited.
It was the hardest thing I’d ever done, waiting for someone to read Mosely’s email and blast it across the universe, even though it had only been last night when he sent it, or for someone to find the bugged scale Pete had planted to see if they’d sell it.
I wanted to pore over Earth Space Fleet’s highly classified documents myself, but instead, I was stuck on a reality TV show.
Still.
Not on my honeymoon with the most stunning, perfect bride.Not anywhere but here while much more pressing matters demanded my attention.No, I was sitting on the platform in my hoverchair while watching Pete lick one of the lenses on a camera drone.
Fuxx my life.Fuxx it with a rusty spoon.
At least Pete was upright and not muttering his one-liners that he thought belonged in action movies.He wore his Aviators and a loose-fitting shirt to cover the bruises his makeup team couldn’t hide, and if you paid attention, he still walked with a limp, but he appeared to be back to the normal camera-licking Pete we all loved…and wanted to strangle.
“Can I just kill him?”Next to me, Miekil had his green arms crossed over his chest tightly, as though restraining himself from doing just that.“I know where to hide the body.”
“I’ll help,” I muttered, then much, much louder, I added, “Stop it right now, Pete, or you’ll be wearing your tongue as a scarf.”
He stopped to stare at me like I was the crazy one here.“It’s called helping to fill forty-four minutes of airtime,” he hissed.
But he did stop.Thank the goddess.Really, I was glad the deranged man was okay, though.
“Please tell me you bought the camera dinner first, at least?”one-eyed June, on the other side of the platform, asked.
“He has a kink for cameras.I get it,” Judge on my other side said.“I used to be into axillism.”
Rico slowly turned to face him, pushing his glasses up his nose.“A sexual attraction to armpits?”
