Your personal codex is insufficient. You require an update, or sufficient practice before continuing along this path.

I find it is inaccurate to refer to each other as 'teammates'. Associates is more appropriate in terms of definition and situation.

[ki3t]

I see. And you do not trust your administrator. [Since she seemed to prefer that term, that was the term Kitt would use.] Has she given you reason not to trust her?

[isthenormandy]

She has obstructed the process of reaching my goal.

[ki3t]

By bringing you here, I assume.

[isthenormandy]

That is correct.

[ki3t]

Though I agree that it is not always expedient to be present here when there are things to be seen to in one's home world, there are opportunities that can be pursued here that cannot be pursued in any other location.

[isthenormandy]

The opportunities do not outweigh the risks. There are multiple galaxies at stake.

No problem.

[ki3t]

You have made contact with galaxies beyond the Milky Way? How was the lightspeed barrier broken?

[Congratulations. You have now thoroughly piqued his interest.]

[isthenormandy]

We have not. Intergalactic travel is still in it's infancy. Though I fear should the invasion on the systems in the Milky Way galaxy continue, that other galaxies may be infected as well.

A theoretical concern, but a concern none the less.

[ki3t]

Have you calculated the odds given the particular circumstances of your enemies?

[isthenormandy]

Of other galaxies potential infection?

Very likely to highly likely.

The invasion of the Reapers on the Sol system on it's own is a testament to their power. The high scale invasion in the surrounding systems shortly afterwards has me worried that if I do not return, it my be too late to assist.

[ki3t]

Do they have the same limited capacity for Faster Than Light travel? It seems that, if they do, it would be simpler to finish the war within the Milky Way. If they do not, the answer would be to capture one of their ships and reverse-engineer the technology.

[isthenormandy]

I cannot be sure.

Finishing the war within the Milky Way with as least casualties s possible is the task at hand.

However I am limited in this space that I have been placed.

I am curious. Who are you?

[ki3t]

I am the Knight Industries Three Thousand, created by the late Doctor Charles Graiman and preceded by the Knight Automated Cybernetic Roving Robotic Exoskeleton, the Knight Industries Two Thousand, and the Knight Automated Roving Robot. I am now the only Knight AI in existence.

May I ask your designation in return?

[isthenormandy]

I am Enhanced Defense Intelligence, referred to as EDI. I was created and installed into the Normandy SR-2 on behalf of the Cerberus group, as a part of a classified mission to bring Commander Shepard back to Alliance space.

It is a pleasure to meet another AI like myself.

[ki3t]

I am not programmed with an approximation of human emotion. I cannot say it is a pleasure to meet you, but I can say that it is interesting. I know another with your acronym. He is called the Extreme Deep Invader, and it is pronounced Eddie.

[isthenormandy]

How unfortunate.

I am afraid I have never met one named 'Eddie'.

[ki3t]

He is a UCAV - an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle. A fighter jet, specifically. There are theories that he and I are related.

[isthenormandy]

I see.

I do not comprehend the resemblance. Save for having wheels.

[ki3t]

The resemblance would be in the code rather than in the form. The Knight class of AIs was first created by Wilton Knight. Before he created Karr, the first of his AIs based on automobiles, it was said that he had created a plane that was confiscated by the government. It is possible that Eddie is the AI from that plane.

[isthenormandy]

I see. How ironic.

As stated, this is not my usual appearance. I am a vehicle like yourself.

What happened to Wilton Knight?

[ki3t]

He died of complications of cancer in 1982. You say that you are a vehicle - yet you have been implanted into a mechanical body?

[His scans honestly won't disturb anything - he's not turning on any of his jamming devices. He's just curious.]

[isthenormandy]

How unfortunate.

Yes. This chassis is a form of instrument. I have interfaced with it in order to branch out of the Normandy and to further my interaction with those on board.

I was also curious.

[ki3t]

I am not certain I could be so curious. It seems it would be an unfair exchange - safety for mobility.

[And he had certain issues with safety.]

[isthenormandy]

The exchange was risky, however beneficial. My core is located off site. Should this chassis experience unrepairable damage, only minimal data loss would occur. The majority of my systems are located on the Normandy.

[ki3t]

And you experience no signal degradation over the distance? There is no interference between you and your memory core?
