ICOM online.
Sir, this display represents your primary interface with the ship-wide Interconferencing and Monitoring system, also popularly known as ICOM.
This system is available to several autonomous ship functions for the recording, reporting and transmission of important League strategic and tactical information.
ICOM also represents the central repository for League intelligence materials, and can be called on to assist you in the planning and execution of League operations.
Sir, several serious complaints have been lodged against you by members of the League Ethics Council, regarding the indiscriminant taking of sentient lives.
Sir, certain prominent representatives of the Ethics Council have demanded that you step down from your post. They're accusing you of gross criminal negligence in the slaughter of innocent sentients.
The League Ethics Council has just voted to oust you from your command. It's been a pleasure working with you, sir.
A phenomenon similar to that observed in the Picus system is occurring near Eltanin. Further analysis is pending.
Sir, mass fluctuations in the vicinity of the Tyche system indicate a galactic disturbance similar to those observed in the Picus and Eltanin systems.
Sir, certain members of the Ethics Council have been making disparaging remarks regarding the League's position on possible ethical violations committed by the Mycon against their Deep Children.
Sir, a distress call from the Utwig on Fomalhaut 5 is currently being received on a secure League frequency.
Sir, League representatives are increasingly uneasy about the apparent disappearance of the Orz and the Supox. Perhaps locating them should be your highest priority.
Sir, we're receiving a distress call from the Syreen on Astarte 1.
Sir, it appears that the local star system is undergoing a sudden change of mass. Rotational...
Sir, a routine sweep of debris in the local area has uncovered what appear to be the remnants of a spaceship.
Sir, the Spathi on Goshen 4 are issuing a distress call on a secure League frequency. The text of the message simply reads, "Help!"
Sir, League news broadcasts report that the Spathi race has defected from the League of Sentient Races. Accusing the League of "unsound practices," they say they were pressured into defecting.
Sir, League news sources report that Ur-quan forces are dividing and establishing battle lines for a civil war.
There are evidently two powerful political factions consolidating their various control of ships and colonies. The identities of the combatants are not yet determined.
Sir, the Chmmr's predicament tells you everything you need to know about the Daktaklakpak Bifurcator's function and purpose. Keeping it away from the Chmmr has become a useless task, now that you know the Daks had spares.
Sir, the League Steering Council has voted you out as Supreme Leader of this expedition. They are displeased with your slaughter of innocent sentients.
Sir, the coordinates of the Highpoint stellar system have been received by this vessel and incorporated into our navigational systems.
Sir, the Vux and Vyro-Ingo races' genetic material appears to have been altered and now reflects attributes common to both races.
Captain, sensors have detected the wreckage of an extremely large Precursor vessel on the surface of Exquivo.
Sir, League scientists have successfully absorbed the Xchagger Lost Dynasties from the infected Harika and placed them inside an empty Xchagger ship hive. The planet below is Xchagger-free.
Sir, the League is coming apart at the seams. It appears that many of the races in the League are unwilling to leave the Kessarri Quadrant at this point in time.
League scientists have assembled a functional Xchagger Absorber.
Sir, a massive shield around the Ploxis Precursor vessel appears to make it unassailable. Communications with the ship is also impossible.
Captain, despite the best efforts of the diplomatic corps, the League has voted in favor of a formal declaration of war against the Hegemonic Crux.
Sir, League scientists have determined the location of a Quasi-space portal in the Xipe system.
Sir, coordinates for Quasi-space Portal G have been integrated into League charts. This phenomenon is located within the Azazel system.
Sir, coordinates for Quasi-space Portal M have been integrated into League charts. This phenomenon is located within the Nyx system.
Captain, League scientists have discovered a Daktaklakpak Sentience Collator in a routine sweep of nearby debris.
You've collected enough sentience to fill the silo.
Sensors indicate a spatial distortion in the Highpoint system.
Sir, there are no sentient beings available for communication on the surface of this planet.
Removing the incomprehensible Daktaklakpak drones from friendly territory will allow our colonists to gain a firm foothold in the Kessarri Quadrant.
A signal received from an emitter on Helios 3 confirms the presence of a Human colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Goshen 4 confirms the presence of a Spathi colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Salacia 2 confirms the presence of a Vux colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Arcadia 6 confirms the presence of a Pkunk colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Velpunia 6 confirms the presence of an Ur-Quan colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Astarte 1 confirms the presence of a Syreen colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Janus 8 confirms the presence of a Mycon colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Hypnus 2 confirms the presence of a Chmmr colony.
A signal received from an emitter on Fomalhaut 5 confirms the presence of an Utwig colony.
Studying the spatial anomaly left by the collapse of the Picus system could aid us in understanding the phenomenon that occurred there. League scientists are eager to investigate.
Sir, you might consider risking a quasi-space jump through Quasi-space Portal M.
Captain, the Daktaklakpak must have a wealth of information about this quadrant. Perhaps there's a way to take advantage of their lust for information.
Investigation of the spatial anomaly where the Eltanin stellar event occurred may help League scientists better understand these strange phenomena.
The Spathi have requested our assistance. Perhaps something might be gained by answering their distress calls.
Perhaps the Spathi would be willing to provide their old allies with some inside Crux information.
Perhaps it would be prudent to follow the Arilou's advice. Though they're an unpredictable race, the Pkunk do seem to have a sensitivity to things that could assist us in our search for the Ultron.
We must track down these Vux raiding parties and make them accountable for their actions.
You've got the Ultron back. Why not return it to the Utwig?
Perhaps the Pkunk may be of further assistance in repairing the damaged Ultron.
A routine scan has indicated the presence of a Precursor cache on Caduceus 4.
A routine scan has indicated the presence of a Precursor cache on Nebusta 1.
Sir, the Spathi may be able to make something of the damaged Ultron. Have you considered allowing them to analyze it?
Perhaps you could use some of your accumulated Precursor artifacts to assist you in repairing the Ultron.
Surely the Utwig will be pleased with your work on the Ultron. It will be good to have them back as productive League members.
Don't give up, sir. With time League scientists will surely amass enough knowledge about the Ultron to effect its repair to the Utwig's satisfaction.
Sir, League scientists insist that you consult the Syreen regarding their strange mental emanations.
The plight of the Mycon Deep Children is becoming a hot topic in League Council chambers. Perhaps you could avert some difficulties by communicating directly with the Deep Children.
Captain, League scientists report interesting geological activity on the surface of Janus 1.
League diplomats are urgently requesting that you demand that the Mycon stop imprinting memories upon their Deep Children. Perhaps you'd have some success with this strategy.
Sir, League scientists have reported that bifurcation of the Chmmr may cause dangerous side effects. Proceed with caution.
Answer the Chmmr's urgent call for help on Hypnus 2, sir. They are members in good standing in the League of Sentient Races.
Sir, why don't you answer the distress call from the Ur-Quan on Velpunia 6?
The Arilou seemed to think that the Exquivan representatives at Anshar 3 might be helpful in our various efforts in the Kessarri Quadrant. Why not pay them a visit?
Sir, study of the spatial anomaly at the former location of the Tyche system would undoubtedly provide League scientists with much needed information about these strange phenomena.
Perhaps you should ask the Syreen if the Orz accusations leveled at them are true.
Sir, you should respond to the Syreen distress call from Astarte 1.
Perhaps the Exquivan race will have some insight into the Pkunk's strange condition. League diplomats recommend that you proceed with extreme caution with this unpredictable race.
Sir, you must convince the Exquivan representatives to allow us to search the wreckage of the crashed Precursor vessel.
Perhaps a League member race could assist us in creating an adequate state of nothingness. There must be some way to convince the Exquivans to allow us passage.
The Exquivan representatives will surely allow your mindless tech team to explore the surface of Anshar 3.
Sir, preliminary findings indicate that exposure to the contents of the data pack containing the True Name of the Eternal Ones could be extremely hazardous to sentient beings.
Perhaps the Pkunk illness has passed, now that the emanations from the surface of Exquivo have ceased.
Information regarding the strange Doog debt is insufficient for further consideration of this problem. Consult the Doog colonists for more information.
Perhaps it would prove effective to offer to purchase the Doog debt and thereby win their assistance in the Kessarri Quadrant.
Now that it has been proven to work, consider buying all the Doog colonies.
The Daktaklakpak must know something about this strange Harika plague.
Now that we know the truth about the Daktaklakpak's intentions regarding the terrible Harika plague, perhaps we should alert the Harika.
Those traitorous Spathi must know something about this unfortunate Harika plague. I'm sure a visit to their homeworld on Goshen 4 would prove interesting.
The Daktaklakpak will probably deny it, but it's worth checking in with them again, if what the Spathi accused them of is true.
The K'tang must be behind this "microbial war." Pressing them on it might yield some useful information.
Interesting energy readings emanating from Zosma 6 may provide some useful leads, sir.
Asking the Xchagger representatives about the Harika plague might produce some useful leads.
League scientists request that we study the Xchagger physiology in hopes of learning more about them and their uniquely Kessarrian nature.
The Harika would certainly be interested in our latest findings regarding their terrible affliction. Perhaps you'd like to pay them a visit.
We'll never be able to save the Harika and the Xchaggers without a large container to move the extracted Xchaggers into.
Now that you've got the Xchagger ship hives, you can safely return to an infected Harika world and absorb the Xchagger Lost Dynasties.
Given your success in curing the Harika, it would be prudent to cure all their colonies. Perhaps they'd consider assisting the League if you did.
Perhaps the Harika would consider joining the League of Sentient Races.
Sir, you may want to consider entering Quasi-Space Portal G. There's no telling what could lie on the other side of that portal.
Sir, League diplomats request that you make contact with the colonized world on the second planet.
A routine scan has indicated the presence of a Precursor cache on Antaeus 1.
Perhaps the Lk will reward you with something useful in exchange for keeping your word. Deliver the Red Spiral Rail to them. You said you would.
Perhaps the Spathi traitors would give you some information about the mysterious Clairconctlar.
League diplomats agree that we should make contact with the Clairconctlar and question them regarding their alleged debt to the Hegemonic Crux.
The K'tang seem to be behind this incredible debt of honor that the Clairconctlar seem to be honoring in perpetuity. Perhaps consulting the K'tang might uncover something useful.
The Exquivan race might be able to provide some insight into the workings of the Clairconctlar mind.
League advisors suggest that confronting the Clairconctlar with the name of Ploozer Palavar might force them to confront the true nature of their servitude.
Even the Clairconctlar can't be so indebted that they cannot listen to reason. You must tell them what you discovered from the K'tang.
The geology of the third moon of Enkidu 4 intrigues League scientists. They wish to gather mineralogical samples from the surface of this moon.
Perhaps the enigmatic Lk would have some light to shed on this Clairconctlar matter.
Sir, League diplomats have suggested that threatening the wellbeing of the Conc Rock might rouse the Clairconctlar from their preoccupation with their debt. It's worth a try.
Perhaps you could lure the Clairconctlar to the third moon of Enkidu 4, where they'd come face to face with the cause of their secret shame.
An alliance with the Clairconctlar would certainly advance our cause in the war against the Hegemonic Crux.
Now that they're League members, perhaps the Clairconctlar can help us fill in some of the gaps in our intelligence concerning the Hegemonic Crux.
Perhaps the Spathi know something about this Mother Ark.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Alula system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Calypso system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Euterpe system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Ganesha system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Indra system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Kentaurus system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Moirai system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Penates system.
Sir, League scientists request that we explore the first planet of the Rudra system.
Sir, a small fleet is guarding Alula 1. League scientists recommend we investigate.
Perhaps the Harika know of other races in the Quadrant that may be of assistance to the League of Sentient Races.
League diplomats strongly recommend a visit to the Owa homeworld on Mnemosyne 1.
Sir, League scientists have identified a significant Precursor site on Alula 1. They recommend that you excavate this location at your earliest opportunity.
Sir, League scientists have identified another Precursor site on Calypso 1.
Sir, League politicians agree that a meeting with the Ploxis CEO in the Calliope system would be well advised at this juncture.
Sir, League scientists recommend that you enlist the Xchaggers to perform microsurgery on the Mother Ark Control Unit. Their small size should make this a relatively easy job for them.
Sir, perhaps the Syreen could be enlisted to "open" the minds of the slumbering Chenjesu.
According to the information available to our top scientists, activating the Sun Device in orbit around Hypnus 2 should cause the Chmmr to be rejoined.
Sir, League diplomats unanimously demand that the Vux be ejected from the League of Sentient Races. Proof of their treachery has been substantiated.
Sir, perhaps the Daktaklakpak can provide us with more information about the C.U.D. League diplomats recommend, however, that you leverage their desire for the True Name against any information they may have to share.
Perhaps the Daktaklakpak will be willing to trade the True Name for the Variance Key to the C.U.D.
According to our best technicians, activating the C.U.D. with the Variance Key should now be possible. We're not exactly sure what will happen, but it should be relatively safe.
The Lk seemed to have a strong desire for the Signal Deflector technology. Perhaps they'd trade it for something useful in return.
League diplomats recommend that you try and trade the True Name of the Eternal Ones for other useful Daktaklakpak information.
League technicians recommend that we launch the Overlord-seeking Larvacide Missile from orbit around Argus 5.
Reconnaissance has verified the presence of empty ships in orbit around Pauguk 4.
League diplomats request that you consider engaging the Vyro-Ingo at Izanagi 5.
Perhaps the enigmatic Lk could shed some light on the purpose of the Vyro-Ingo Encrustation Matrix.
Perhaps the enigmatic Lk could shed some light on the purpose of the Vux Encrustation Matrix.
By sending a Vyro-Ingo fleet on an intercept course to a Vux fleet, the mating of Vyro-Ingo and Vux may be accelerated.
League mechanical engineers feel that the Brass Ratchet will be instrumental in the repair of the damaged Ultron.
If the Utwig won't accept the repaired Ultron at this point, they never will.
League scientists urge you to enter Quasi-Space Portal F. Reconnaissance of this phenomenon may reveal crucial information.
Interesting scan imagery has been collected from the frozen surface of the second planet of the QSF system. Perhaps a closer look would be advised.
Perhaps there is a way of installing the suspended Ploxis in the empty Ploxis ships.
Sure, you should consult the revived Ploxis regarding our current situation.
The Containment Grid is not yet filled to capacity. Perhaps this will be an important factor in our struggle to survive.
We should travel to the Highpoint system and see the forces that are arrayed against us.
Sir, perhaps a concentration of antimatter in the vicinity of the Ploxis shield would result in a beneficial outcome for the League.
Finish him, sir.
It is imperative that we make contact with the alien race that has recently entered the Kessarri Quadrant.
Captain, League scientists have determined that the Sentience Thresher can be augmented and optimized with the use of the Sentience Collator, Sentience Notation Device, and the Ebon Hinge.
League scientists have surmised that we may be able to avert devastation by the Eternal Ones by collecting enough sentient energy to satisfy them in a more controlled manner.
Sir, there is nothing constructive to offer at this time.
Sir, League scientists have discovered the presence of a large artifact on the surface of Muhlifain 2.
You don't have enough sentience to fill the silo.
Sir, League scientists recommend the collection of as much antimatter as possible from the surface of the Rainbow worlds.
Sir, a League probe has found indications of activity in the Erato system.
Sir, we've transported the mindless tech team to the planet's surface. They've found the ship. There's no need for a dig site here.
Sir, we'll need a mindless tech team to explore the surface of this world.
Sir, The League Ethics Council has unanimously voted to oust you as leader of the Kessarri expeditionary forces for killing millions of harmless Xchaggers.
This colony owes {x} resource units to the Hegemonic Crux, sir.
You don't have enough sentience to fill the silo. You'll need contributions from at least another {x} races.
ICOM offline.
We haven't yet found any evidence of the Supox, {other races} or {other races} in the Kessarri Quadrant.
